What It Does
This conditioning heat protectant fortifies hair at the deepest level, preventing heat damage, dryness + breakage from blow drying and hot tools.
• Delivers heat protection at the core*, with patented resilicore™ heat-shielding technology to prevent heat damage up to 450°F (232°C)
• Protects against damage from heat, mechanical and environmental aggressors such as UV rays
• Lightweight moisture + hydration enhances smoothness and softness; hair feels and looks healthier without being weighed down

What Else You Need to Know
Heat protection from cuticle to the cortex*: resilicore™ heat-shielding technology is a breakthrough innovation inspired by resilin—a natural protein that can withstand extreme temperatures. Unlike traditional heat protectants that stop at hair's cuticle, resilicore™'s size + molecular makeup allows it to penetrate deep into the cortex, forming a protective shield that fortifies from within. This targeted protection delivers extended defense where hair needs it most.
Weightless conditioning: Lightweight cream transforms into a spray + binds to hair to help regulate lasting moisture balance, detangle, smooth for more manageable hair. pH-balanced formula minimizes cuticle swelling for less frizz, and more shine.
Created for all hair types + textures. Can be used on extensions.

Apply throughout sectioned hair, brushing through to help with even distribution. Less is more. Start small and build as needed. Hair should feel soft and tangle-free but not coated. Use on towel-dried hair before blow drying and on dry hair before hot tools.

One of my favorite heat protectants
A leave in and heat protectant all in one! Pairs perfectly with the leave in mask without weighing down the hair. A little goes a long way as well. Plus I love that you can use it on damp or dry hair

Don't hesitate, just buy it.
One of my favorite hair products I have ever used. It makes my hair incredibly soft and it feels so healthy! I also have an 11 year old and her head is so sensitive and of course she insists on having long hair. I use this on her hair and I can actually brush out the knots she gets without hurting her at all! (with a wet detangling brush) This is such a great product, if you are on the fence just do it you will NOT regret it!

So far so good
I have loved the K18 line and was excited to try the leave in conditioner. It has a great smell that is not too strong. It is also a great leave in for my type 4 hair with extensions. I can use it generously without weighing down the extensions.

Can't go without this.
I love this leave in conditioner/heat protection combination! You should use it on wet and dry hair. This makes detangling a breeze and once you blow dry, your hair will feel better than it did before you started. The heat protection works better than anything I've ever used before because it works inside the hair not just the surface.

This stuff is awesome. I have fine thin hair and I’ve been waiting for them to come out with a conditioner and a heat protector. Love that it’s a two and one. Doesn’t weigh my hair down and another great addition to the K team team.❤️

still frizz
It claims it helps frizz too, but not the case with me. I used on towel dried hair and I didn’t notice any noticeable difference with my other leave ins I use. I will try on dry hair before flat iron to see if that works better. If not, returning.
