How does K18 work with your hair?
The inner structure of hair is made up of polypeptide chains (also known as keratin chains). When these structures get damaged, Keratin chains break.
Unlike traditional hair treatments and conditioners that coat the hair, K18 works to penetrate the hair’s inner layer and reconnect broken chains, reversing the signs of damage.
K18 is perfect for strengthening hair before chemical treatment or helping to repair damaged hair. Damaged hair is dry, brittle, dull and can lose its shine and elasticity.
It is an ideal hair treatment for:
- Bleached or coloured hair
- Heat styling and heat-damaged hair
- Hair that has undergone any kind of chemical service such as permanent waves
- Hair suffering as a result of environmental stressors such as dry winter air, strong sun or pollution
Why you'll love K18 treatments!
K18 repairs hair by restoring its core structure to renew strength and elasticity.
- Strengthens hair
- Restores smoothness and softness
- Restores bounce and flexibility
- Promotes manageable hair with fewer tangles
- Suitable for all hair types
K18 can also be used as an at-home treatment to restore hair, reverse hair damage and leave you with that salon-fresh feeling at home!

K18 FAQs
K18 helps to restore strength, elasticity, and smoothness, making hair feel softer, shinier, and healthier. It's biomimetic hair science formula repairs broken bonds caused by bleaching, colouring, heat styling, and chemical treatments, with long-lasting results.
K18 is suitable for all hair types, which makes it a fantastic addition to our salon offering. Any hair type that is in need of a hydration boost will love K18, thanks to its wonderful ability to heal hair from the inside out.
K18 is perfect for any type of hair – coloured or not – that needs a hydration boost. We especially recommend K18 for coloured hair but there are plenty of other factors that can damage hair too, such as pollution, sun, and different styling products. Everyone can benefit from k18!
Watch your hair transform in just 4 minutes! The really big benefit is that the treatment only takes a few minutes, but gives healthy hair and long-lasting and progressive results. Sounds like a big win to us!
K18 is vegan and cruelty-free, which is another reason we love it here in the salon. Hair repair never felt so good! K18 is also free of sulphates, parabens, phthalates, silicones, artificial colours, sodium chloride and formaldehydes.
Yes – K18 is clinically proven to reverse damage at the molecular level, making it ideal for clients who regularly use heat tools. Whether it's daily blow dries or heat styling for events, this treatment helps restore smoothness, softness and shine from the inside out.
Unlike surface-level products, K18 uses a patented molecular breakthrough that works on a biomimetic level. Instead of just coating the hair, it reconnects broken keratin chains to truly repair damage. It's where biotech meets haircare – and the results speak for themselves.
To improve the effectiveness of K18, we often recommend using a detox shampoo first to remove product build-up. This creates a clean canvas for the leave-in molecular repair treatment, allowing it to penetrate deeply and deliver progressive results.
Absolutely. K18 is colour safe and actually helps protect hair during the colouring process. It restores hair strength and resilience, helping to maintain colour vibrancy and reduce frizz or dullness after your appointment.
K18 works on a progressive basis, meaning the results improve with continued use. While you’ll notice stronger, shinier hair after your first treatment, regular in-salon or at-home use builds long-term strength and smoothness.
