K18: cleanse,
treat, and lift.

A closer look at three K18 products: PEPTIDE PREP detox shampoo, the leave-in molecular repair mask, and AstroLift volume spray. Here’s what each one does, where it fits, and where to shop.

FROM TARA

My K18 video is coming soon.

I’m putting together a video to share a closer look at these products. In the meantime, you can explore all three below.

Shop the three products

K18 PEPTIDE PREP™ Detox Shampoo, 8.5 oz

01 · CLEANSE

PEPTIDE PREP™ Detox Shampoo

8.5 oz · Clarifying shampoo

A clarifying shampoo designed to remove buildup from the hair and scalp. This is the cleansing step, rather than the leave-in treatment.

K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask, 15 mL mini

02 · TREAT

Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask

15 mL mini · Leave-in treatment

A leave-in treatment for damage from color, chemical services, and heat styling. K18’s directions call for a four-minute wait before styling.

K18 AstroLift™ Reparative Volume Spray, 4 oz

03 · LIFT

AstroLift™ Reparative Volume Spray

4 oz · Styling spray

A lightweight, buildable volume spray for fuller-looking hair. K18 says it can be used on towel-dried or dry hair, with or without heat styling.

Where they fit in the routine

This is a summary of K18’s product directions, rather than a promise of a particular result.

  1. Cleanse: use the detox shampoo when a clarifying wash is needed, following its label directions.
  2. Treat: on mask days, shampoo without conditioning first, then towel-dry. Apply the mask according to the directions for your bottle size and hair length. Give it four minutes before combing or adding styling products; the mask stays in the hair.
  3. Lift: AstroLift comes after the mask’s waiting time. Shake the spray and apply to towel-dried or dry hair as directed. Blow-drying is optional for added volume.

The mask link is for the 15 mL mini. Pump sizes differ, so use the instructions on your specific bottle. For the latest directions, visit K18’s how-to guide and AstroLift product guide.
