How to Perform K18REPAIR™ in Every Service
Top celebrity stylists break it down step-by-step for better, longer-lasting salon results—every time. Read MoreICYMI: K18REPAIR™ is K18’s 2-step salon-exclusive damage repair service that protects, strengthens, and preserves hair health through even extreme salon services.
Leveraging the power of the patented K18PEPTIDE™, K18REPAIR™ strengthens and fortifies hair to make it resilient against damage, and provides lasting, biocompatible hair repair from damage caused by lightener + color, chemical services, and heat*. This exclusive service is designed to be used in every salon service, for healthier, stronger hair through every transformation.
“It’s important to keep hair healthy using the K18REPAIR™ service because having different [chemical] services can compromise your clients’ hair. You want to make sure the integrity of their hair is always intact to be able to change it up,” says Kendra Alia, salon owner + K18 ambassador.
But how exactly do you use K18REPAIR™ in your salon chair? We’ve got top celebrity stylists to walk you through how they perform it in every service.
Start by sectioning hair into 4 quadrants. Prep hair for maximum K18REPAIR™ with K18 pro chelating complex or mist hair with water.
Time for step one of the K18REPAIR™ service: the PRO mist.
“Apply 10-20 sprays per section depending on client’s length, density + amount of damage,” advises Clayton Hawkins, celebrity stylist + K18 ambassador.
Wait four minutes—no need to rinse.
“This allows the K18PEPTIDE™ to penetrate and strengthen hair pre-service,” says Alia.
Then, perform your client’s desired service and shampoo.
“You want to do this after you've shampooed the hair—not conditioned—to allow the K18PEPTIDE™ to penetrate to the molecular level,” Hawkins says.
Time for step two of the K18REPAIR™ service: the PRO mask.
“Apply 1-3 pumps of the mask from the ends—always from the ends—and work your way up to the roots,” says Cassondra Kaeding, celebrity colorist + K18 ambassador.
Wait four minutes—no need to rinse. Then, style as usual.
That’s it! Ready to feel what’s possible with K18REPAIR™?
