Article content Article content The brand's K18 Pepdite technology is in all of the products that help reverse damage on a molecular level, build the hair bond chains and strengthen the hair's elasticity. It can be used on all hair types, textures and colours, and provides long-lasting repair. Article content Step 1: Before a colour service, our in-salon process would be to mist the hair with K18 Peptide Prep to help reduce mineral buildup, reset the hair's pH and restore the hair. This gets combed through and sits for four minutes before a colour application. Article content Step 2: Next, we mist the hair with K18 Professional Molecular Repair Mist. This pre-service step helps to support the foundation and strength of the hair and helps prevent any new damage from occurring, and also sits in the hair for another four minutes.

Based on the density and length of the hair, it's recommended to apply one to three pumps onto your hands, warm up the product and work through the hair starting at the ends and working up toward the roots. This is where you'll want to brush and detangle the hair and let it sit for four minutes. Article content Article content
