This Stuff Ain’t Cheep, But Is It Worth It. I have been away from my hairdresser for four long years. I fly to see her twice a year if I’m lucky and have had to rely on myself for balayage here and there, which can be scary! I am a researcher ( = maybe obsessive) and have used Oleplex 1 in my bleach as recommended, but was really looking for more. More moisture, softer hair. We have hard hard water here, though we soften and filter it, and who knows if it is my aging or crap water responsible for turning my hair to less-than-silky. Anyway, I bought this after watching my favorite Behind the Chair colorist. It isn’t cheap, obviously, and yeah, I was a bit unnerved at how feather-light the bottle was out of the box. But, I wanted to try it, and it did not disappoint. I first used it on my dry ends overnight, combing it through with a touch of water until my ends were damp then twisted my long hair in a top bun. The scent is light and pleasant. The product is NOT oily. I let my hair down late morning and the ends were…soft…much, much softer than before. My intent was to get my ends in the best condition before I bleach a few pieces. Two days later (the day of coloring) I added four pumps of K18 to my hair, all over, prior to bleaching. I did not rinse. The bleached pieces, after toning, were MUCH softer than with Oleplex 1 alone. While it is too expensive to share (I hide it from my daughters) I plan on having it on hand for myself.
This seems to really work! I see a difference. My hair is not bleached or colored, but it has gone gray and is more fragile than it used to be. Because of weeks of stying with a blow dry brush a year ago, my hair suffered breakage and split ends. While growing my hair out, trying to keep the ends trimmed, the frizzies and dry, crunchy hair ends continued to haunt me. I have tried other conditioners which have helped, most notably Virtue Recovery shampoo and conditioner) , but my layered hair, which I always let air dry, now, continued to go to frizz. I have used K-18 three times, so far, and have had definite, trending improvement: my hair is softer, and is getting silkier. I did not condition my hair after washing, because per instruction, the K-18 would not be able to penetrate the hair shafts of my towel dried hair if a shower conditioner were used before the K-18.So: These last three times that I have washed my hair (the length now goes down to my bra strap) , I towel dried it, applied one pump of K-18 to my hand, rubbed the palms of my hands together back and forth (according to a video demo) until the k-18 turned white on my palms and fingers, and applied it to my hair from roots to ends, and repeated that process two more times (one pump, rub hands together till white, apply to hair; one pump, rub hands together, apply to hair).Then I waited the 4 minutes per instructions. After those 4 minutes I was able to comb my hair without experiencing any tangles! I let my hair air dry. For a little extra moisture, I do apply 2 drops of the Virtue hair oil rubbed into my hands and work that into my hair from halfway down to the very ends of my hair. With this routine my hair is transforming before my eyes. The K-18 added to my regime has made a dramatic difference. I look forward to how my hair will look when I use it the next two times. The K-18 company recommends using it for 5 times in a row of hair washing, then after that using it as needed. I am keeping this. It is working for my hair. As I stated earlier, my hair is softer and is getting silkier.
Product is very small & pricey. I made the mistake of getting my hair done/ bleached while going through postpartum & felt very dry & damaged afterwards, I came across this product on tiktok & wanted to try it out to see if it would help my hair out since I’m already losing it due to pp.As soon as I opened the package my initial thought was the product is very small for the price you pay but I was willing to give it try to see if it worked, based off the reviews I read it seemed like a good product, I’ve only been using this for about 2 weeks now but only wash my hair once a week, I can’t really say it’s helped my hair feel all that better, it’s maybe brought it back to life a little bit but then again It hasn’t been long since I started using it so I’ll come back & update in a few weeks.
Switch back and forth to this and Olaplex. Your hair gets used to products so I clarify and then use this and Olaplex. I change it up every other month and my hair is in fine condition, never better!I wouldn’t say it’s better than Olaplex, just different. They both do a great job of conditioning. Don’t think it will fix split ends cause nothing fixes that you have to get a haircut. What this does is help make your hair thicker looking and fuller so it looks healthier. This is so expensive so if you have long hair you’ll need about 5 pumps. I have shoulder length and I need 4 pumps to completely saturate my hair so it’s expensive!
Magic in a bottle. So my hair was damaged by heat n color damage and looked really dry. I had an overseas trip in the Caribbean to Trinidad and ended up going to a hairdresser there for a function, she immediately told me how to care for my hair and told me use k18 repair mask and try and use the shampoo and oil as well now she had it really expensive and saw my hesitation so she said well when you go back to the us see if you can order it online and use it. I ended up buying the shampoo repair mask and oil. And let me tell you in two days of just using this product its mind blowing the blatant dryness just disappeared like I said Magic in a bottle. You get what you pay for. It pricey but it worked so I’m glad I invested in my hair. I would recommend. If you Dont have the money save up and before you know it you could buy it so invest in your hair care it worked for me n I’m very happy!
