What It Is

A nourishing, protective conditioner that helps shield hair from daily damage to help maintain hair health and improve smoothness and shine. Engineered to weightlessly soften and detangle while the K18Peptide™ helps replenish hair during washing.

What It Does

• Clinically proven to provide conditioning protection against damage from UV rays*, mechanical styling**, and environmental aggressors*** for up to 3 days.

• Maintains hair health: Fortifies hair’s exterior lipid barriers to make hair more resilient and resistant to damage. K18Peptide™ replenishes protein lost during washing.

• Enhances hair’s natural shine: pH-optimized formula minimizes excess cuticle swelling during washing, to help keep hair smooth and maximize shine.

• Softens, smooths, and detangles: Without film-forming silicones or waxes that can build up over time, weighing hair down.

 

*81% breakage reduction observed on bleached hair tress with repeated grooming after 50 cycles of UV and wash exposure versus tress without K18 conditioner.

**UV and mechanical damage results observed with repeated grooming on hair tress after a simulated 3 days of UV exposure, versus tress without K18 conditioner.

***Environmental aggressors results observed on hair tress after a simulated 3 days of pollution exposure, versus tress without K18 conditioner.

What Else You Need to Know

• Biotech-produced polysaccharide acts as a biomimetic shield to protect hair against pollution and environmental aggressors.

• Fortifying ceramide blend seals damage sites in the hair cuticle—smoothing and protecting hair from further damage.

• K18Peptide™ replenishes protein lost during washing.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from not worth the cost it’s okay, it’s not the worst, it’s not the best. the first couple of uses i liked it a lot but then i felt like it was just your average shampoo/ conditioner combo after about a month of using it. nothing really special about it. i’ll probably just stick to using the treatment on my clients and myself.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Hydrating but only for fine hair Definitely have to follow up with k18 mask otherwise ends still feel a bit dry. Great for fine haired clients. Smells like skincare (unscented but slight chemical smell from ingredients). Overall great, but definitely for more fine haired guests.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I got the product from influencers for an honest review, My hair is very damaged with a lot of color and bleach, it’s very rough and broken. I love the shampoo and conditioner both together. Where the shampoo deep cleans the conditioner give a clean and smooth and leaves it with the beautiful texture without damaging the color. It feels very smooth and nice, soft and shines. I would love to buy the product again. And recommend to others too.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good formula I really liked the formula of this conditioner. It didn’t weigh down my fine hair. It has a light citrus center, but the scent doesn’t linger after the product is rinsed out. My only issue is that it was hard to get the product out of the bottle even during the first use. You have to shake the product down and it’s still very hard to squeeze the bottle. Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with hand strength issues. I received this product from Influenster to review.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Superb performance! This conditioner is great! It really made my hair soft and silky. It smells great too! My hair has endured heat styling and coloring and needs any extra attention it can get! This really fit the bill. My only complaint is that the packaging is not appealing to me at all. It looks very stagnant and sterile. I love it when the products I buy feel luxurious and and thus price point, that would be a bonus. However that doesn’t affect the product inside!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from LOVE! [Employee of saloncentric] Love this conditioner! My hair is on the finer side, so I was afraid it may be too heavy for me, but it isn’t! My hair feels so healthy and soft after using this. Definitely recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very hydrating This is a really nice conditioner, it made my hair feel soft and hydrated and significantly lessened any frizz which I usually have a lot of! Would definitely repurchase

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great This is a nice product. Not too heavy. It still will detangle. No strong scent. The bottle is easy to squeeze and open. It’s a small bottle which isn’t a great value. I’m excited to keep seeing my hair get healthier with this. I received this free to test from Influenster.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from love it I absolutely love this conditioner for myself and all my clients. It makes your hair feel brand new and super soft and shiny. It looks like there is no dead ends or anything. I definitely recommend this conditioner over any. It is pretty expensive but it is worth it.
