K18 Leave-In Molecular Hair Mask, Repairs Dry or Damaged Hair, Reverse Hair Damage from Bleach, Color, Chemical Services & Heat by

Second purchase now, and is impressive when using and left in hair as recommended. Styles well, and leaves hair soft and silky as opposed dry and bushy. However, the next day you would never know, so undecided if would purchase again a third time.

This product is amazing. My hair is recovering from processing and this is already turning things around after two uses. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is the cost. I’m not a cheap person but $30 for a MINI?! Forget it. There’s an almost dupe by Rida Hair Research Institute. It’s just a little different but I’m seeing the same results after giving my hair a break from K18 so as to not skew the results (i.e. I didn’t want H2R by Rida Hair Research Institute’s results to be confused with residual from K18).

Like I said, it’s not exact – K18 is still an amazing product. But A more effective with similar results for me is H2R by RHRI – 150ml for $20 vs. K18 15ml $29. In this economy, I’m not the demographic for this product. The brand’s bundles are a nice idea but again, the high cost and dismal size of the product received do not match up.

I was well aware of the volume when I purchased it and I took the risk of the purchase to try it at least once. I do recommend at least trying once.

I’m over 55 and have spent decades trying everything — from $9 to $144 per product — hoping for softer, healthier hair. I have 3a curls hidden under years of color, heat damage, and dryness. My hair would break and frizz so badly it looked like I had layers (I don’t). K18 is the first and only product that actually delivered on its promise to repair — not just coat — my hair. I was fully prepared to return this if it did not make a difference. It did.

This isn’t a conditioner or mask. K18 uses a patented technology that works from the inside out. I used a clarifying shampoo, applied 6 pumps (very small pumps from the “try it” bottle!), finger-raked it through damp hair, waited 4 minutes, and then combed through. No rinsing, no other products. I let my hair air-dry, and it already felt softer and smoother with significantly less frizz. No fragrance -makes me happy.

Important note: You do not need to rub this aggressively between your palms to “activate” it — that’s a common myth. Just rub your palms lightly so you can apply it evenly and let the science do the work. It works on the keratin molecules to repair your hair from the inside out. Friction is not going to make the molecules smaller. Don’t know why people start these rumors.

The next morning, I used my straightener on medium heat and was stunned. Instead of the usual dry straw, my hair was sleek, shiny, and bouncy. Even the ends curled beautifully — something I’ve never seen on my hair before.

After four treatments, my hair now feels different, although the greatest results came after the very first use. My hair is softer, smoother, more manageable, with less frizz and more shine. Even in Florida’s 90°+ heat and humidity, it holds up — and I’m not using anything else but K18. A friend even asked to try it after seeing my results.

It’s expensive, but absolutely worth it. I’ve already bought the larger bottle. I’m sticking with K18 — this changed everything for me. And to address the expense, the 50mL pump provides 50 pumps. That’s 25 applications for me. My average thickness, long hair uses 2 full regular pumps. After the first 4 applications, you move to every 4 washes. That means after the first four treatments, I have 21 treatments more still in the pump bottle. For me, with super dry hair, that means it will last another 18-21 weeks since I only wash once a week, and an occasional “extra”. I am going to guess I have taken at least $100 of products that did not work for me to the women’s shelter over that time, meaning the waste was as much as this effective product that takes no time to use, packs easily in a suitcase, doesn’t stink and IT WORKS!

If you have super straight, silky hair, like Asian hair, or other non-porous hair, I do not think you are going to get the same results. You probably already have the kind of hair those of us with porous, damaged hair are looking for.

Es muy caro para la cantidad de producto que viene pero merece la pena. He sufrido varios crímenes contra mi pelo este año y me está ayudando a recuperar el buen aspecto. Una vez que el pelo está estropeado es difícil repararlo pero al menos si que aparenta más sano. Lo recomiendo.
