our pillars
We believe hair is everything. It’s a canvas for confidence. It’s a conduit for art. It fuels our identity. Supporting organizations from professional stylists and beyond with a shared vision is the mission of our The Future Now Initiative. We’re committed to celebrating hair health + happiness, pioneering scientific innovation, and advocating for brighter futures.
The Future Now Initiative is our way of investing back into the communities we care about. We are partnering with organizations that embody K18’s commitment to innovation and radical care: Professional Beauty Association, and Styles 4 Kidz.
