Can I use K18 during a perm?Updated 2 years ago
Yes, follow these steps to use K18 during a perm service:
Section dry hair into 4 quadrants
2. Apply 6-10 sprays of K18 pro chelating hair complex per quadrant*.
3. Wait 4 minutes after chelating**, then rinse and shampoo with K18 PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo. Do not condition.
4. Towel dry hair, then apply a minimum of 10 full sprays of K18 professional molecular repair hair mist to each quadrant, increasing up to 20 sprays per quadrant as needed, depending on client’s length, density, or level of damage.
5. Wait 4 minutes (do not rinse), then wrap, process, and neutralize perm as usual.
6. Once perm is complete, remove rods and gently towel dry.
7. Apply a minimum of 10 full sprays of K18 professional molecular repair hair mist per quadrant, increasing up to 20 sprays as needed, depending on client’s length, density, or level of damage.
8. Wait 4 minutes (do not rinse), then proceed with cut or style as usual.
*For cases of extreme mineral buildup, process K18 pro chelating hair complex for up to 10 minutes, then rinse and shampoo with K18 PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo. Dry hair as needed, then proceed with the instructions.
**For best results, we recommend to use K18 chelator before every service. If not using K18 chelator, lightly dampen hair with water (do not saturate) before applying K18 PRO mist.
To avoid weighing down fresh curls, it is not recommended to use the K18 professional molecular repair hair mask or oil immediately after completing a perm service.
