The K18 PEPTIDE PREP™ Detox Shampoo is a professional-grade, color-safe clarifying cleanser engineered to deeply purify the hair and scalp without stripping or over-drying. Powered by a potent combination of activated charcoal, salicylic acid, and the patented K18PEPTIDE™, this non-stripping shampoo removes up to 99% of product buildup, 95% of sebum, and 76% of copper and hard-water metals in a single wash. By clearing away the stubborn debris that builds up on the hair fiber over time, it effectively restores natural vibrancy and creates the ultimate, ultra-clean canvas for repair treatments and styling products to penetrate deeply.

Key Benefits

• Deep Heavy-Metal Detox: Powerfully extracts hard-water mineral deposits, environmental toxins, and copper, preventing metallic buildup from dulling, clouding, or discoloring hair tones.

• 99% Buildup Elimination: Lifts away stubborn styling resins, silicones, and heavy waxes that traditional shampoos leave behind, instantly reviving bounce and volume.

• K18PEPTIDE™ Fortification: Infused with bio-active peptide technology to help minimize protein loss during deep cleansing, ensuring strands remain exceptionally strong and resilient.

• pH-Optimized & Color-Safe: Meticulously engineered at an optimal pH level to preserve hair color vibrancy and prevent scalp irritation while effectively clearing away 95% of excess sebum.

• The Ultimate Treatment Prep: Completely purifies the hair cuticle, ensuring maximum, unobstructed absorption and performance of follow-up repair masks, conditioners, or technical salon services.

How to Use

1. Schedule: Swap out your regular daily cleanser and use this heavy-duty detox shampoo once a week, or as needed depending on your product usage and water hardness.

2. Apply: Thoroughly wet your hair and apply a generous amount of PEPTIDE PREP Detox Shampoo, focusing the application directly on the scalp and roots.

3. Massage: Work the charcoal-infused formula into a rich lather, massaging the scalp to break up sebum, oil, and hard-water crust.

4. Rinse: Rinse completely with warm water, ensuring the lather runs entirely clear from the hair.

5. Repeat: If you have exceptionally thick hair or haven't clarified in a long time, repeat the washing process a second time for maximum detoxification.

Pro Tip: This shampoo is the literal "secret weapon" for unlocking the full potential of your K18 routine. If you feel like your K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask isn't absorbing as well as it used to, it's likely due to mineral or silicone barrier buildup. Wash with this Detox Shampoo first to completely strip away the barrier, skip conditioner, and apply your mask. The difference in softness and strength will be night and day.
