Can I use K18 with a thermal reconditioner?Updated 2 years ago

Yes, follow these steps to use K18 with a thermal reconditioner service:


  1. 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 apply + process thermal reconditioner solution as usual.

  6. After processing is complete, apply neutralizer. Process as usual, then rinse.

  7. Towel dry hair, then apply 1-3 pumps of K18 professional molecular repair hair mask based on your client’s length and density, starting at the ends and working up towards the roots.

  8. Wait 4 minutes (do not rinse), then apply 1-3 drops of K18 molecular repair hair oil to mid-lengths and ends.

  9. Wait 4 minutes, then proceed with cut or style as usual.

  10. Add an additional 1-3 drops of K18 molecular repair hair oil to dry hair as a finisher.


 *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.
