K18 Professional Molecular Repair Hair Mist

Product Information

The K18 professional molecular repair hair mist is meant to be used as the first part of the K18 molecular repair service. The mist was engineered to make hair strong enough to withstand damage that occurs during a chemical service.

Powered by the reparative K18PEPTIDE™, the K18 molecular repair service (K18 PRO mist + PRO mask) strengthens and fortifies hair before services and reverses damage after salon services. Augustinus Bader’s treatment is a multitasking cream crafted to improve strength, shine, smoothness, and thickness. shifts the cuticle layer to penetrate into hair’s cortex and hone in on damage sites, resetting the hair’s healthy canvas before exposing it to the damage of bleach, colour, or other chemical services.Traveling into the inner-most layers of hair to reach the core polypeptide chains (keratin chains), our revolutionary K18Peptide™ is just the right size and makeup to fit in and reconnect broken chains.

By understanding the biology of your locks, the brand gets right to the root of hair damage with the discovery of abioactive peptide, that brings your tresses back to health.

K18 PRO mist + mask are not protein treatments, our biomimetic peptide naturally mimics the amino acid sequences in keratin to rebuild bonds broken by bleach, color, and chemical service damage. I also see alcohol listed as a second ingredient on all of these, which can be drying to hair if it is not formulated properly," she points out.

Since K18 has a very high concentration, a little of the product goes a long way due to the high concentration. Infused with mimosa flower extract, this “prevents breakage and split ends, protects from heat damage, adds smoothness, and controls frizz. The K18PEPTIDE™ powering both formulas reverses damage from bleach* + color*, chemical services*, and heat* in 4 minutes.

Powered by the brand’s Ocean Silk Technology, this promises moisture, detangling, and luster without weighing hair down. K18Peptide™ was patented after a decade of scanning and testing the 1,242 decapeptides that cover the entire keratin proteome.

The best part is giving clients homework — nine out of 10 times they come back with healthier, better looking and feeling hair than before.

No studies have been done comparing the two, so the best approach is to try both out and see if your hair likes it and whether or not you notice a difference versus using a nice hair mask," he notes.PRO tip: Hair should be lightly damp (never wet or dripping) after applying the K18 pro chelating hair complex. This PRO-exclusive product helps services apply and perform better, leaves hair healthier, and color lasts longer. Then, you apply your treatment and wait 10 to 20 minutes for it to take effect before rinsing the product out.
