When to choose a K18 styling product
K18 makes three styling products, one for each moment of the blow-dry: the HeatBounce™ Conditioning Heat Protectant before heat, the AstroLift™ Reparative Volume Spray for volume, and the AirWash™ Dry Shampoo between washes. Each has its own directions.
Why K18 styling
HeatBounce is a leave-in that detangles and softens, for all hair types and extensions; K18 states heat protection up to 232 °C. AstroLift thickens the hair fibres so the hair looks and feels fuller; it resists humidity, is not sticky and cares for fine, fragile hair while it adds volume.
AirWash, the K18 dry shampoo, absorbs excess oil without visible residue, for a fresh feel on the scalp, in a non-aerosol format. K18 describes it as extending the time between washes.
HeatBounce, AstroLift or AirWash
| Moment | Product | Hair | Sizes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before heat | HeatBounce | towel-dried before blow-drying, dry before heat tools | 118 and 236 ml |
| Volume | AstroLift | dry or towel-dried, with or without heat styling | 15 and 118 ml |
| Between washes | AirWash | section by section, massaged in, then brushed | 47 and 118 ml |
Application
- HeatBounce: apply to the hair in sections and brush through for an even spread.
- AstroLift: shake well, spray generously through the hair, blow-dry for extra volume.
- AirWash: shake well, divide the hair into sections, one spray per section, massage in, brush or style as usual.
- HeatBounce amount: 1 to 4 sprays per section, depending on the length and thickness of your hair; less is more.
- Thick or curly hair: HeatBounce in smaller sections, each brushed through before the blow-dry.
Combine your system
Styling comes after the care step. In the K18 Salon blow-out at home kit, the mask's directions put the mask on first, for 4 minutes, and styling products after it: the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask.
