Introducing K18: Hair like new in four minutes

K18 Hair Mask Treatment models smiling.

K18 is the world's first patented biotech treatment that renews chemically damaged hair from the inside out. In just four minutes, strength, softness, smoothness, and bounce are restored for hair that looks and feels like new.

We're thrilled to welcome K18 to our product mix at Hedkandi Salon and Butter Beauty Parlour. Read on for more details about the professional service (available at Hedkandi only) and shop the take home hair care products in store at your preferred location or online at hedkandi.shop.

Until now, the haircare industry has relied on cosmetic chemistry, and most recently bond builders, to formulate its products. K18, employing biomimetic hair science is leading the modern era of haircare in a category all its own. The science is complex so haircare doesn't have to be. The patented K18 Peptide travels into the inner-most layers of hair to reach the core polypeptide chains (keratin chains). Just the right size and molecular structure, the K18 peptide fits in and reconnects broken chains to renew core strength and elasticity.

All products are formulated without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones, artificial colours, sodium chloride, and formaldehydes. Plus, they're always vegan and cruelty-free.

K18 is made for all hair types, all generations, and all types of expression.

IN SALON SERVICE:

K18 PEPTIDE MOLECULAR REPAIR SERVICE

K18 professional mist is a pre-service treatment that strengthens hair before your chemical service(s). The mist shifts the cuticle layer to penetrate into your hair's cortex and hone in on damage sites.

K18 professional mask is a post-service treatment that repairs damage caused during any salon service. The mask helps to close your hair's cuticle and seal in the peptide, with added lightweight conditioning benefits to keep hair smooth and soft.

WHY IT'S REVOLUTIONARY:

With just one salon treatment, hair is restored to:

  • 91% original strength*

  • 94% original elasticity*

*Results observed in a clinical study while using mist and mask as part of a bleaching treatment. Results may vary depending on hair type, quality, and history.

The new full two-step service treatment can be added to any other service for $35. The following stylists have completed their K18 certification and are taking appointments now:
