How to Use
-
Prep: Wash hair thoroughly, preferably with K18 DAMAGE SHIELD pH Protective Shampoo, and squeeze out excess water.
-
Apply: Dispense a small amount of DAMAGE SHIELD Protective Conditioner and apply from mid-lengths to ends. Build and distribute through the hair as needed.
-
Rinse: Rinse completely with lukewarm water.
-
Note: This product is designed for regular conditioning on non-mask days. On days you are using the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask, skip this conditioner and apply the mask directly to damp, shampooed hair as directed.
Pro Tip: Because this formula is highly concentrated and engineered to coat the hair smoothly without heavy fillers, a little goes a long way. Start with a dime-sized amount for fine-to-medium hair, focusing exclusively on the mid-lengths to ends to keep your hair feeling light, airy, and protected all day.
