MESSAGE FROM CARMEN
The K18 Mask is the most effective hair mask I've ever used, and I've cycled through many treatments over the years. However, I was not 100% Sold the first time I used it, so the instructions explained using it six times consecutively before dropping it every three or four washes for maintenance.
Around the third application, you notice the most significant difference in touch ability. The only hesitation I can think of over this mask is the price, which is steep for such a small bottle, but I'm a big believer in you paying for what you get.
If there were ever an excuse to splash out, this is the one, a science-backed (and pro-loved) add-on treatment that is perfect when used in Bleach + Color, Relaxers, and Perms. The list goes on.
Below is some information surrounding the stand alone service.

THE SCIENCE BY VIDEO
-
The three alcohols in the k18 formula work together to open the hair cuticle to carry the k18 peptide further into the inner layers of hair to reach broken polypeptide chains. This repairs hair's structural integrity, renewing strength, softness, smoothness, and bounce.
-
K18 needs to reach that inner part of the hair to work most effectively.
Buildup from other products can sit on the hair, making it hard for K18 peptides to penetrate.
Clean hair ensures K18 can make it all the way to the inner layers reaching the polypeptide chains (keratin chains) and renewing strength and elasticity when it gets there.
-
Traditional conditioners coat the outer layers of hair to patch up the damage.
This also causes buildup, making it hard for K18 to penetrate the hair.
Clarified and cleansed hair ensures K18 can make it all the way to the inner layers reaching the polypeptide chains (keratin chains) and renewing strength and elasticity when it gets there.
