When a beauty product goes viral on TikTok, it’s wise to consider whether it’s right for you before jumping on the bandwagon. However, that’s precisely what happened with the K18 hair mask, and let us tell you—we have been IN on this secret for some time! As senior stylists and blonde specialists, we deeply appreciate the transformative power of K18 products.

The K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask and the K18 brand generally focus on repairing hair damage using high-quality, vegan, and cruelty-free products. And… it WORKS.

About K18

K18 products are backed by hair science and recommended by hairdressers globally. Thanks to the patented bioactive peptides that repair keratin in the hair, they benefit those with severely dry, damaged, lacklustre, or over-processed hair. The K18 range is ideal for those looking to enhance their damaged hair routine, especially those with coloured hair.

Why Our Blonde Specialists LOVE K18

As specialists who do a lot of blonding work, we often see clients with damaged hair. Here are some reasons we recommend K18 for our in-salon basin treatments and aftercare for all our blonde clients.

Superior Damage Repair
Blonde hair, especially when chemically treated, is prone to damage. K18’s patented bioactive peptides work on a molecular level to repair keratin, restoring hair strength and resilience. This is crucial for our clients who frequently bleach and colour their hair, as it helps maintain hair health despite regular chemical treatments.

Softness and Manageability
Blonde hair can often become dry and brittle. K18 products, particularly the Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask, leave hair feeling incredibly soft and smooth. This makes it easier for us to style and manage, ensuring our clients leave the salon with hair that looks good and feels luxurious.

Longevity and Value
Although K18 products are an investment, they offer exceptional value due to their longevity. A little goes a long way, especially with the concentrated formulations. This means our clients get more uses from each product, making it a worthwhile investment for maintaining their hair health.

Colour Preservation
Blonde hair requires special care to maintain its vibrancy. K18’s range is designed to protect and preserve hair colour, preventing fading and keeping blonde tones looking fresh and bright. This is essential for us as specialists in blonde hair, ensuring our colour work stays stunning between salon visits.

Heat and Environmental Protection
Blonde hair can be particularly susceptible to heat styling and environmental damage. K18’s products offer protection against UV rays, heat, and pollution, making them an essential part of our toolkit for keeping blonde hair healthy and strong.

Professional Results at Home
We love that K18 allows our clients to continue their hair care regimen at home with professional-grade results. This continuity of care helps maintain the health and appearance of their hair between salon appointments, ensuring our work lasts longer and looks better.

Vegan and Cruelty-Free
Our commitment to ethical beauty is reflected in K18’s range of products. Knowing that we can offer our clients high-quality hair care solutions that are both vegan and cruelty-free aligns with our values and those of many of our clients.

What You Need to Know

The K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask is the star product that introduced me to the brand. It works uniquely compared to other hair masks, but please follow our instructions for the best results.

How To Use K18 Molecular Repair Mask

Shampoo your hair, but skip the conditioner. On towel-dried hair, apply one pump (or more for long, thick hair) into your hands and rub together until it turns into a white paste. Then, coat each strand from root to tip. Let it sit for four minutes before you brush and style it like we usually do.
