got a question?

what makes the damage shield ph protective shampoo special?

The DAMAGE SHIELD pH protective shampoo promotes healthier hair and scalp after just one wash. Its optimised pH helps maintain the hair cuticle, preventing excess water absorption that can lead to damage, dullness, frizz, and tangling. This shampoo preserves colour, strengthens hair, reduces frizz, smooths strands, and makes styling easier with less tangling.

Lightweight yet moisturising, it nourishes hair without weighing it down and supports a healthy scalp by preserving the scalp microbiome for a gentler cleanse. When paired with the DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner, these formulas work together to shield your healthiest hair from daily damage.

when do I use the damage shield ph protective shampoo?

This pH-balanced formula is gentle enough to use every time you cleanse, delivering healthier hair and scalp after just one wash.

can i use the conditioner instead of the mask?

The mask and conditioner each serve a unique purpose. The K18 mask reverses damage in just 4 minutes, while the K18 conditioner protects hair from daily damage for up to 3 days*. For best results, use the mask first, wait 4 minutes, then apply the conditioner for extra softness and detangling on the days between mask treatments.

will the K18 conditioner weigh hair down?

No, the K18 conditioner won’t weigh hair down. Its highly concentrated, lightweight gel formula softens, smooths, and detangles — without film-forming silicones or waxes that can cause buildup over time.
