Hair, welcome to the future.
K18 molecular repair reverses hair damage in just 4 minutes.
Hair damage solutions have always been around, but none have done the job right. In a world of superficial damage fixes, K18 has risen to the top with the ability to repair hair at a molecular level, regenerating damaged cells to make hair like new again.
Technology like this is vitally important for professionals in the hair industry. A huge percentage of clients receiving any treatment in a salon will experience damage as a result, or may arrive with hair already damaged. With K18, damage is no longer a hinderance or an inevitability. The world of possibilities has just opened wide.
