K18 Leave-In Repair Hair Mask Treatment to Repair Dry or Damaged Hair - 4 M

I have fine, thinning stubbornly straight hair that I color at home every 6-8 weeks using eSalon products. I noticed my hair was looking a little dull and the hair masques I had on hand didn't provide lasting results. I heard about K18 from Jack Martin, the hair coloring genius who does those gorgeous 8-hr gray hair transitions (Instagram). I bought the sample size (5 ml) and got 2 applications out of it, using a little more than a nickel-size dollop the first application and the remainder the 2nd application. The first application yielded noticeably improved hair shine and manageability and did not weigh my hair down. I saved the 2nd application to use a week later when we were scheduled for a family photo session. I had my chin-length bob trimmed 2 days before the session and the hairdresser told me I should stop using my Hot Tools Professional one step dryer volumizer (which I love and only use on medium heat) and go back to 2-handed blow drying with a round brush (which I find awkward and tiring) in order to get the lift and bend I wanted in my hair. He was wrong. I applied the last of the K18 through my turbie towel blotted hair and waited 4-5 minutes before spraying a little root lift around the top and crown areas and working a blend of 2 styling products through to the ends (the hairdresser was right about those). I used a regular blow dryer with a concentrator attachment to get the roots dry as I lifted and over-directed sections of hair, then sectioned my slightly damp hair and switched to my Hot Tools volumizer. My hair was way more manageable and very shiny. I had no trouble getting the desired bend with one or 2 pulls through, holding the wrap for a few seconds and then allowing a little cooling time. I was able to arrange the front and top of my hair into the casual look I wanted with my hands and sprayed some quick-drying hair spray lightly under the side sections and around the top and crown. I couldn't believe how good it looked. During the late afternoon shoot by the lake, the wind picked up and blew my hair around a bit. I actually loved the feel of it. Afterwards, I still had style and shine. I'm now investing in the large (50 ml) size.

Before I get into my results, I'd like to say that I have INCREDIBLY damaged hair. The ends of my hair have been bleached well over six times, had color remover 3 times, and been dyed with black box dye over three time and other dyes even more. None of this was done professionally or with high quality products, and so my hair is quite literally fried. Naturally I have very wavy hair along with loose curls, with all the damage, my hair texture has changed drastically. This product brought it back. I ordered the sample size for $12, and used it five times as directed instead of conditioner. The first picture I uploaded is my after and the second is my before. The pictures reallly don't do it justice, I had severe split ends, my hair was crispy and would be stuck in place if u tried to move it. All of that went away. I still have split ends that need to be cut, but they are wayyyyy better and softer and stronger than they were before. After finishing the five treatments, I decided to jusst shampoo and condition, no products, no special methods, no scrunching, and just let it air dry. To my total surprise, my hair dried with almost no friz, waves, and even ringlet curls. I haven't had my hair be this texture in YEARS. I can pull on my hair now and not have chunks break off. My hair's natural texture has been rejuvenated. It drastically increased the strength of my hair. All for $12.99. If you have curl/wave patterns that have been damaged by bleach and dye, or just damage in general, I would definitely recommend trying this out. The sample is cheap and definitely worth the possibility that it could work as well for you as it did for me.

This product is very concentrated, so it does not take much to work into hair. I have long hair nearly down to my belly button. It was so easy to use and made my hair feel much softer and less frizzy for a couple of day. Needing to apply this a couple times a week could be very costly depending on your length but if you invest $$ into your hair, it is a great staple to put in your routine.

This did nothing for my hair. I bought it after seeing in on Tik Tok. I have coarse curly hair that I have colored and this didn't make any change.

The price is steep but it is a great product, worked wonders for mu chemically treated hair. It brought back the softness and looks much healthier. Also liked that it works after 4 minutes unlike other products that require much longer to work

I'm so glad I only ordered the trial size. I was so excited to try this as I've been having breakage due to coloring. I use Olaplex and Curl Smith's Bond Building Salve. They help a great deal but it's just not convenient to apply them and wait a while to rinse. I used K18 this morning and I had trouble getting a comb through my hair even with leave in conditioner added. I waited the 4 minutes to continue with my routine. I had so much breakage! I let it air dry and I really don't like the feel of it. My hair feels very dry and coarse. I'm not sure I will use it again and will stick to Olaplex and Curl Smith.

My 10 year olds hair was ruined, when we used Function of Beauty shampoo/conditioner. It damaged her hair, causing it to falls out, leaving huge bald spots within 2 weeks of using it on her just twice. So we had 8 months of not wearing it up in any way. Because the slight tugging of elastics, clips and barrettes would just cause it to break off more. Those same months of I was doing daily careful combing out of her hair, because it would tangle into one large “back of the head nest within 5-6 hours. This was a Hail Mary for us. She is going to camp this summer and I had no idea how she would be able care for it herself. I did not have much hope when I bought it. But I figured it would not hurt since I was about to take her to the hairdresser and have it cut very short. It was astonishing. I could actually feel her hair under my finger getting softer and stronger in that 4 minutes, as I worked it into her hair. It’s been 4 days and I’ve been waiting for it to tangle up again. But I have not even had to brush it! It’s almost as manageable as it was before Function of Beauty ruined it.

This product came recommended to me from a hairdresser friend. I am blown away by its effectiveness. I opted to get the small trial size because it is a bit pricey, but this small package allowed me to use the product five or six times which was enough to get a good idea of how it works. (I have long hair that goes down to my waist.) The product is super simple to use. I take a dime sized amount and scrunch it through shampooed, but not conditioned, hair. I let it sit for around five minutes before blowdrying and styling. I dye my hair black and bleach a small portion of it. This product makes my hair feel like virgin hair. My hair is left silky, smooth and strong feeling. It reduces frizzyness and flyaways. Seriously, if you want shiny, movie star hair (especially if you chemically or heat treat your hair) I can't recommend this product enough.

Forse ne abbiamo sentito parlare tutti, l’ultimo arrivato in campo di rigenerazione capillare. Si tratta di un innovativo trattamento peptico che rimpolpa i capelli e li riporta, come promesso, al loro stato di salute giovanile. Il suo punto di forza è la speciale molecola brevettata che si avvale della biomimetica per ricollegare le catene di cheratina danneggiate. Il trattamento K18 usa la formula della molecola peptide per riparare i danni causati da decolorazione e assicurare bellezza e benessere dei capelli, con risultati immediatamente visibili. Il trattamento K18 completo prevede il pretrattamento “professional molecular repair mist”, la maschera “professional molecular repair hair mask” che riduce la porosità dei capelli e ne liscia la cuticola e infine per completare il trattamento la maschera senza risciacquo “leave-in molecular repair hair mask” che è quella che ho provato. Devo dire che i risultati sono eccezionali. Setosità e lucentezza immediata al primo trattamento. I miei capelli sono ricci e crespi, per questo motivo vado dal parrucchiere tutte le settimane perché non sono brava con la piega. Con questo trattamento ho fatto la piega da sola, impiegandoci pochissimo tempo e con risultati per me eccezionali. Immagino si possano ottenere risultati ancora migliori con l’intero trattamento professionale, ma vi assicuro che già solo la maschera è spettacolare. Modo d’uso: la quantità da usare dipende dalla tipologia e lunghezza dei capelli, è tutto indicato sul cartoncino. Nel mio caso, per capelli lunghi e mediamente corposi, la quantità indicata è di 3ml, un po’ più del tubetto da 5ml. Ho lavato i capelli con uno shampoo normale, senza usare balsamo come indicato, li ho leggermente tamponati e ho applicato la quantità di maschera indicata, distribuendola uniformemente dalle radici alle lunghezze. Ho lasciato agire qualche minuto prima dell’asciugatura. Risultato : I capelli sono subito lucenti e setosi, ovviamente perdono un po’ volume e la piega tende a lisciarsi. Per me un risultato eccezionale, consiglio questo prodotto al 100%. Il prezzo del prodotto da 5ml è di euro 21,00 forse si trova a qualche euro in meno ma attenzione poi ai costi di spedizione. Il costo invece dell’intero trattamento (pretrattamento e maschera 150+150ml) si aggira intorno ai 220 euro, certo non sono pochi ma se si spendono per qualcosa che funziona e che risponde con risultati immediati, perché no. In alternativa si può anche provare il trattamento nei saloni e poi eventualmente decidere di comprarlo.

Me ayudó muchísimo, me acabo de decolorar el cabello y esta mascarilla me ayudó mucho desde la primera aplicación para hidratarlo, en una sola puesta vi resultados PERO, yo tengo mucho cabello y muy largo por lo que me duró 1 puesta y nada más 🙁

I love this product. I have blonde hair (not natural) and it can get very dry. I notice a different even after one use. Having used it for a while now it has made a massive difference to my hair. It feels soft and strong. I suffer from a lot of hair loss and it has also helped with this greatly. I don't have near as much breakage so it works well and does exactly what it says it does. It is a small tube but it goes a long way . It is a bit expensive but I believe it's worth every penny.

I researched the living heck out of hair treatments, watched some Youtube vids, and Brad Mondo mentioned this (I think) for repairing bleached hair! Having done my hair silver, which was a major job since my natural color is quite dark and took multiple bleachings to get the yellow out) - THIS has given my hair new life! YES, it has to be reapplied twice a week (if you wash your hair more often, I don't and use a no-poo regime), but even this tiny tube will do the job and do it WELL! You only need a very tiny bit if you have super short hair like I do (ear length), and its absolutely worth it. It's left my hair silky and shiney. ^_^

My platinum hair is grateful for this product. It keeps it nice and shiny.
