First time I heard about K18 was from a new stylist - she put the K18 leave-in molecular repair hair mask on my hair after my bleach/color job and I love how it made my hair. I bought some for myself and used with my regular shampoo. Worked pretty good. Enough to buy more. Went to a new stylist and my hair got burnt up. Bad. So I tried this product and bought the K18 shampoo and WOWWWWW!!! - I can’t even believe the difference when used together! My fine, thin, very broken bleached hair looks much healthier and shinier after just 2 washes and 2 treatments with K18!! I wish I would have taken pics! I usually have to wash every day or every other day but went a whole week with using dry shampoo only once and it wasn’t dry at all. It feels and looks so much healthier! I can’t wait to try their K18 conditioner when I’m done with this treatment! (Ie: Use the treatment 4-6 times after shampooing with no conditioner then switch to conditioner and use the treatment just as needed!) I’m so glad I found this! Thank you K18!!! Review: Great everyday shampoo - I love all my K18 products! Are they spendy, yes, but they are so worth the price. A little goes a long way when using this shampoo. It cleans my hair without stripping it or making my hair feel dry or brittle. Definitely recommend! ## Features - Color-safe but powerful cleansing: Plant-derived surfactants deliver safe but effective high-power cleansing to break down and remove dirt + oil - Designed for damaged hair: pH-optimized formula helps prevent excess swelling of the hair cuticle during washing, which helps maintain color, improve hair health and shine, and reduce frizz - Gentle enough to use every time you cleanse: Gentle on hair AND scalp. pH-optimized formula mimics hair’s natural pH, to reduce cuticle swelling and maintain hair health, and preserve the scalp microbiome - Certified microbiome-friendly formula: Removes dirt and oil without disrupting the scalp’s natural protective barrier - Formulated with K18PEPTIDE: Helps reduce protein loss to keep hair feeling healthy and strong ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CQ5956VN | | ASIN | B0CQ5956VN | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,548 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #168 in Hair Shampoo | | Brand Name | K18 | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,319) | | Hair Type | Normal | | Item Dimensions | 2.5 x 2.5 x 5.5 inches | | Item Form | Cream | | Item Weight | 0.6 Pounds | | Liquid Volume | 8.5 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | K18 Hair | | Manufacturer | K18 Hair | | Manufacturer Part Number | 858511000749 | | Material Type Free | Cruelty Free, Vegan | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Unscented | | Product Benefits | Our K18PEPTIDE™ repairs hair at a molecular level across multiple types of bonds, restoring hair health for all | | Product Dimensions | 2.5 x 2.5 x 5.5 inches; 9.6 ounces | | Recommended Uses For Product | Massage into hair, focusing on the scalp.
