When to choose the K18 salon products
Three K18 products are built into a colour or chemical service in the salon, each at its own point. The K18 Peptide Prep Pro Chelating Hair Complex goes on dry hair at the start of its own protocol, which continues with the mist. The K18 Molecular Repair Hair Mist goes on lightly damp hair before bleach or colour.
The K18 Damage Repair Service Set puts the mist and the mask in one box: the mist before the service, the mask as the finish.
Why a salon K18 step
Each one is described for its own job. Peptide Prep Pro removes metal and mineral build-up, does not strip the colour and is made for professionals. The mist, as the brand describes it, works against split ends, and it is meant for the step before colouring or bleaching. During its 4-minute wait, it cares for and strengthens the hair. The Service Set is meant for use in the salon, during the service.

Frequently asked questions
Is the mist for home use?
Not on its own. Its directions build it into a bleach or colour service: lightly damp hair in sections, 4 minutes, then the bleach or colour. For care at home, the range has the leave-in mask.
When in the service do I use it?
Before the bleach or colour. The mist goes on lightly damp, sectioned hair, is massaged and combed through and left for 4 minutes; then the service goes ahead.
What is in the Service Set?
The Molecular Repair Hair Mist in 300 ml and the Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask in 150 ml: the mist before the service, 1 to 3 pumps of the mask as the finish.
Can my client continue at home?
Yes, with the leave-in mask, the home-care leave-in of the range: on washed, towel-dried hair, 4 minutes, and it stays in.
