Jon Reyman, a bicoastal hairstylist and cofounder of Spoke & Weal Salon, which has locations in Boston, Chicago, New York City, Nashville, Palo Alto, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Krupa Koestline, a cosmetic biochemist who has worked with brands that strive to create naturally derived products. She is based in Orlando, Florida. Apply a minimum of 10 full sprays of K18 professional molecular repair hair mist per quadrant, increasing up to 20 sprays as needed, depending on client’s length, density, or level of damage. This leave-in, lightweight mist repairs existing damage to strengthen hair’s defenses and make it more resilient prior to salon services.

This leave-in treatment mask repairs hair damage and restores hair to a healthy state after salon services. Powered by the K18PEPTIDE™ to reconnect broken polypeptide chains and disulfide bonds to renew strength and elasticity in just 4 minutes. This mask is clinically proven to repair damage from bleach* + color*, chemical services*, and heat* for immediate + lasting results. Wait 4 minutes (do not rinse out). Then follow with the recommended shampoo per your keratin straightener service instructions.Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol with a wax-like consistency. It is often used in hair care conditioning formulas because of its smoothing and softening qualities. It does not contain ethanol and therefore is used in products that are marketed as alcohol-free.

By reconnecting these polypeptide chains, the mask strengthens along the length and width of the hair, offering a full 360 approach. Towel dry thoroughly, then re-apply 1-3 pumps of K18 professional molecular repair hair mask based on your client’s length and density, starting at the ends and working up towards the roots. We highly encourage it. Our hair is not only damaged by color, but from heat, sun, products, water and environmental aggressors. K18 restores your hairs health and reverses any damage, everyone can benefit from K18. Cream-based format helps soften, smooth, and condition hair. pH level of 5.0-6.0 helps close down the cuticle to seal in the K18PEPTIDE™ for lasting strength + elasticity.The K18 professional molecular repair hair mist is meant to be used as the first part of the K18 molecular repair service. In chemistry, the term “alcohol” is used to describe a broad range of organic compounds. Although the ingredients have “alcohol” in the name, they all behave differently and serve different functions in a formula. Many of them are very different in appearance and function from Denatured or Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Apply 1-3 pumps of K18 professional molecular repair hair mask based on your client’s length and density, starting at the ends and working up towards the roots. Let sit for 4 minutes. Do not rinse out.

Working with a skincare research scientist, K18 patented a series of bioactive sequences of keratin decapeptides that interact with larger keratin molecules in human hair, a breakthrough that makes hair repair theoretically possible. Ed Connaghan, president at K18 Hair, says that “applying keratin genomics makes repairing hair possible now” and said this new discovery is “another unicorn.” For cases of extreme mineral buildup, process K18 pro chelating hair complex for up to 10 minutes, then rinse and shampoo with K18 PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo. Dry hair as needed, then proceed with the instructions. We recommend applying K18 to clean hair as products can include oils, silicones, and film formers which will act as a barrier and can alter the efficacy of the product. In severe cases of product buildup, it may be necessary to use a clarifying or detoxifying shampoo for best results so that K18 may penetrate into the cortex. Is K18 applied to dry or damp hair? Ten years of bioscience research went into the creation of the patented K18 peptide, including scanning and analyzing 1,242 decapeptides. In plain English—this is serious science.The K18 professional molecular repair hair mask is meant to be used as the second part of the K18 molecular repair service.
