Can I use the PRO chelating hair complex on extensions?Updated a year ago

Yes, here’s how to use the pro chelating hair complex with extensions. 

On natural hair (prior to installation):

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 (do not rinse out), 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, and level of damage.
4. Wait 4 minutes, then rinse and shampoo with K18 PEPTIDE PREP™ detox shampoo(do not condition)
5. Towel dry hair, then apply 1-3 pumps of K18 professional molecular repair hair mask based on your client’s length and density, only to the ends and mid-lengths (avoiding the root).
6. Wait 4 minutes (do not rinse), then apply a small amount of K18 DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner from mid-lengths to ends. Build as needed.
7. Rinse thoroughly, then proceed with extension installation as usual.

Using K18 on extensions alone or on clients with previously installed extensions:

K18 is suitable for use on all human hair extensions (to include tape-in, k-tip, hand tied, clip-in, sew-in, etc.). For information on using K18 on clients with previously installed extensions, please follow the instructions for the specific service being performed.

PRO tip: When working on clients with tape-in extensions, we recommend following the standard protocol for cream-based conditioner or oil usage. For best results, do not apply the K18 professional molecular repair hair mask, molecular repair hair oil, or DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner directly to the weft adhesive or to the natural hair immediately surrounding the adhesive as it could cause slippage. 

*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.
