Description
The K18 Peptide Prep™ Detox Shampoo is a professional-grade, color-safe clarifying cleanser engineered to create an optimized "clean canvas" for molecular repair treatments. This pH-balanced formula (3.8–4.2) utilizes a minimalist blend of 17 active ingredients to remove stubborn buildup without compromising the hair's lipid barrier or structural integrity. Infused with the patented K18PEPTIDE™, it prevents protein loss during the heavy-duty cleansing process, making it an essential preparatory step for chemical services and K18 molecular repair protocols.
Key Features
- Advanced Detoxification: Clinically proven to remove 99% of product buildup, 95% of sebum, and 76% of copper in a single wash, restoring hair to its natural, healthy state.
- Patented K18PEPTIDE™: A biomimetic peptide that reduces protein loss during washing, maintaining hair strength and preventing the "stripped" feeling common with traditional clarifiers.
- High-Refractive Metal Targeting: Specifically targets and eliminates environmental metals (nickel, cadmium, lead, zinc, iron) found in hard water that cause dullness and color shifts.
- Skincare-Inspired Actives: Features Activated Charcoal to absorb toxins/impurities and Salicylic Acid to exfoliate the scalp and unclog follicles without removing essential moisture.
- Professional Efficiency: The 930ml backbar size is designed for high-frequency professional use, featuring a non-sensitizing, dermatologist-tested formula that is vegan and cruelty-free.
Recommended Usage
- Frequency: Replace your regular shampoo with this detox wash once per week or as needed for a deep "reset."
- Activation: Apply to wet hair and massage thoroughly into the scalp and through the lengths to break down heavy deposits.
- Rinse Protocol: Rinse extensively with lukewarm water. Repeat the process if significant product buildup or hard water mineral accumulation is present.
- Pre-Treatment Step: For maximum efficacy, use this shampoo immediately prior to applying the K18 Molecular Repair Mask; do not use conditioner before the mask to ensure the peptide can penetrate the hair shaft unhindered.
