Omg you answered all of my questions! I’m so glad i found you here , I just started using k18 at my salon! Thank you so much
You’re most welcome, so glad I could help! 👨🏼🙏🏻🧬
I’m so excited to use K18 in the future. The benefits are amazing and you’re a great ambassador Craig 👌🏼🙋♀️ Merry Christmas 🎄
WAHOO! Such kind words, thank you. This gets you an EXTRA entry!
I adore K18. I was skeptical but my damaged, chemically treated, coarse hair has never been softer. Love it so much.
YASSS! 🙌🏻🧬
Thank you for explaining this to us! Wonderful video 🙂
And thank you for watching and the wonderful feedback 👨🏼🙏🏻✅
Yey just invested in two sets of k18 so am looking forward to more info thanks for your video!
Wahoo! That’s great…let me know how you get on and thanks for watching
What a lovely video Craig , it’s refreshing to see someone just genuine and nice , we need more people like this thank you 😊
And such a lovely kind comment, thank you. And thank you for watching 👨🏻🙏🏻♥️
Excellent video. Thank you, you answered my question.
Thank you! And thanks for watching.
I used it 6 times since bleaching my hair; the hair is clearly stronger, I’m shedding fewer hair in the shower, almost no breakage anymore. However, the hair DOES NOT feel softer, and that’s a shame because it makes you doubt it works.
Hi Priscila, that’s great news, glad you’ve noticed a difference in strength, wahoo! There are some softening properties in the leave in mask - some hair types may need additional leave in’s on top of the mask (just wait 4 mins) - or you could use treatments in between your K18 usage….
Very informative, thank you!
You’re most welcome, thanks for watching!
Absolutely love k18 and so honoured to have featured in the new magazine 🙌
WAHOO! Brilliant huh?! Fantastic you were featured 🙌🏻
@@theworldofcraig I know I'm so honoured thank you 😊
Great info!!!
Thank you!
I just bought the mist and mask (5x5ml) on vinted for 50€. I can't wait to try it out 😊
The mist I meant
il❤you. you have been brutally honest..
Thanks Tiffany and thanks for watching. I’m not sure if I’m ever “brutal” but honest, always. 👨🏻🙏🏻
Desperate to try K18 on my clients-fascinated to see results without adding bonder to my lightener for application. Emma 😊
Can I add- are there the facts for application on the clients take home tube,so they know how often and when to apply?
It sounds like it’s too good to be true…but it is TRUE! So simple and the results speak for themselves. The 5ml tube comes in a box with all the deets.
@@theworldofcraig Thanks Craig.
Those clients should still be using a bonder mixed into the lightener when bleaching hair. It really helps the integrity of the hair.
Good to know I don’t need to use a clarifying shampoo I just started and trying to use it at least 4 consecutive times and been clarifying my hair back to back and it’s getting dry!
Great, glad I could help. Thanks for watching.
Thank you this was so helpful! I blowdry my hair once a week but never died it so I was wondering if this would be a better investment than olaplex. Just ordered it!
Hi Vera, thanks for watching.
K18 is a very innovative formula - nothing repairs the hair as deeply or effectively.
You don’t have to have coloured hair to use it - it’s good for all hair.
I used to use other bond builders…now I only use the K18 line. Enjoy!
I am not a hairdresser but very useful tips! Thanks for the video from french bleachy-girl in Zurich 😅😂
Awww, thanks for watching, I’m so glad it was helpful! 👨🏼✨🤍
Hello Craig,
Love the video, very informative!
I was recommended to use a Blue shampoo to avoid my Blond highlights to turn brassy, so my question is: Should I use the Blue shampoo before “K18 leave-in Molecular Repair Hair Masque” or after?
Hi there, thanks for watching and the lovely kind feedback. Shampoo, towel dry, then apply the leave in mask (a pump at a time, then comb through) - the mask stays in the hair, no need to rinse it out. If you want to apply styling products over the top of the mask, simply wait 4 minutes, then apply and style/air dry as usual.
@@theworldofcraig Thank you Craig 😊
Good afternoon wonderful video. I have jawline lengh hair how much k18 molecular leave in should i be using? I split my hair into 3 and apply one pump per section. I think i maybe using slightly too much. ? I never seam to have any left over once i have applied so i also think i maybe applying correct amount. Hope you can help.
Not sure if you'll see this, but my hair is bleached all over. I'm a natural level 5 and it has been bleached to level 9 for about 2-2,5 years. Also dyed it light brown about 6 months after it got really blonde and then that just slid out of my hair (thankfully, as I hated my great idea...). I've been using Olaplex for years and then K18 for about a year (+ Olaplex, Redken proteine, oils and so on). So my hair looked good and my hairstylist is always happy (we like her happy). Last week we just bleached 5 roots + the reste of it down to level 10 and it didn't fall off!!! She didn't think it would, but I held my breath a bit. So IMHO K18 is a miracle worker. I'll be going in doing a set of 4 washes now and then see if I can go to maintenance, but I'm really impressed that my hair is still looking good, not falling off and looks like it will stay that way.
Q: My hairstylist uses Olaplex in the mix when she bleaches my hair. Do you think K18 would be even better, or just continue on with the routine as it has been working?
Hi Linn, thanks for watching…I see (and reply to) all the comments left.
Sounds like you have fabulous hair! The reason it’s strong is because you look after it and your hairstylist obviously does a great job…GO YOU 2!
If that’s what your hairstylist prefers, that’s cool. K18 repairs the hair in a different way to any other bond builders - the product in the line for pro use *before* (it’s not an additive) is the Molecular Mist.
@@theworldofcraig Thank you! Love your videos btw! Been watching for a while and have the bell on :)
@@purpledragonfly313 You are most welcome! Thank you for your fantastic support, it means a lot to me 👨🏻🙏🏻✨
Watching this a second time just to make sure I didn’t miss anything while waiting for the shampoos 😁
WAHOO! Thanks for your support
The shampoo is so good! I used the detox one.
@@cfoster6804 It’s great huh! Keep a look out…video coming sooooon.
@@cfoster6804 that sounds amazing 😍
To me Olaplex n 3, causes a terrible itch in the head. Surely some ingredient acts as an allergen, and from a research done it seems to be the fault of: Butylphenyl Methylpropional and I have the same reaction with the n. 2. It is different for no. 0 and 1 (no problem). Shampoo and conditioner are also good. I have now purchased K18 and hope it can help me with my hair.
Sorry to hear that - the reality is that we can be sensitive to any ingredient. Great…let me know how you get on with K18
@@theworldofcraig very true. How sometimes we are allergic to what we eat or drink. I will certainly let you know if K18 turns out to be a positive hair care breakthrough 🙂
I am using K18 for about 2 months and I have the both versions. I am a 10 lvl ash beige blonde and I can tell that is doing an amazing job in healing the damaged hair (even the parts that looks so fried). I've noticed significantly result after 4 - 5 applications. Therefor, my question is and also a curiosity, if I use Olaplex nr 3 before shampooing my hair, then wash it and then I apply the K18 mask, there is a chance that this can influence the penetration of k18 into the hair cortex? From my knowledge, in general, K18 is blocked by SLSs and Olaplex nr3./ Nr.2 doesn't contains SLS.
The both products, k18 and Olaplex, are very good products, especially for bleached hair. And as I've googled, I've noticed they are slightly different in the way they target the structure of the hair. There for I was thinking to combine this two amazing products. Olaplex before shampooing and k18 as a leave-in treatment.
WAHOO! That’s so great you’re seeing/feeling the results…thank you so much for watching and taking the time to get in touch! Love your ways of adding K18 into your routine…
@@theworldofcraig that didn't really answer her question though
Diana is using the products in a way that works for them and that combo doesn’t hinder the effectiveness of either line…so I didn’t feel the need to be specific.
Hi Craig, I do my hair at home and want to know can I use olaplex treatment and K18 simultaneously? Thank you for your great informative videos.
Hi Shamsa, thanks for watching. You sure can use Olaplex with K18. The leave in mask is compatible with all haircare/hair colour.
thank you so much for this video! 😊 quick question: after the four minutes when using the mask, can you go back and rinse with conditioner? or should you only use a leave-in after?
You’re most welcome! Thanks for watching and your great question. Once the mask has been on for 4 minutes the unique K18 peptide has reached the cortex to repair - you can then apply a rinse out conditioner. Rinsing this out will not remove the molecular repair of the mask.
@@theworldofcraig awesome, thanks for replying! can’t wait until mine comes in the mail! :)
@@theworldofcraigétrange parce que moi quand je recherche ces informations je vois partout que si on rince même après/ les 4 minutes , l efficacité sera moins importante ce qui n est pas logique puisque ils disent que après 4 minutes la réparation a eu lieu . Moi j’ai les cheveux secs je préfèrerai vraiment rincer et faire un masque après les 4 minutes mais je ne vois pas cette possibilité
@@delphineppj5930 The official line from the brand is that you can apply a conditioner over the top after 4 minutes - it’s all in the video pasted in my reply.
When something is a brilliant as K18 there will be “myths”….
10 or 15 is way toooooo muuuuuch !!
A question i can't find an answer to is can you use the mist after shampooing before the mask to give your hair evtra strength? Like for really damaged hair.
Hi there. You really don’t need to - and the mist is designed for use PRE chemical service…it’s the same peptides, just a different “delivery system” to get them into the cortex of the hair. If you want more strengthening after shampooing, apply the mask, wait 4 mins…rinse, apply again…leave in. That said, in my opinion, you’re better off just sticking with the guidelines and using it consecutively for a while then maintaining it.
What about using the mist as a stand alone product, if you have really fine hair and don't color, Craig? Thx : )
Hi there…thanks for watching and your question. The mist and the mask deliver the same K18 peptide deep within the cortex of the hair, they are just different “delivery systems” - check out my latest K18 on here…I answer your question in more depth.
Will K18 interact with a Brazilian keratin treatment? Great video by the way!!
Hi there…thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. The peptide (it’s the K18 peptide…hence the name) can make a keratin last longer - my clients have found just that using the leave in mask gets them a little more longevity.
…and thank you for your kind words! 👨🏻🙏🏻
So informative. I have been hesitant to purchase K18 due to the high price. I still have not made up my mind but at least, I have the info. Thank you.
Thank you…thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Let me know if you make a purchase and how you get on…
I ran to Sephora the first time I learned a out a de the $75 plus tax didn’t matter much to me
That’s how damaged my hair is
I think if you think about it a lot maybe your hair is not that bad
Hello, good video thanks!
Can I use it to repair damage by keratins? Like I’m in transition to recover my curls but I did a lot of keratins to have straight hair
Hi there, thank you…and thanks for watching. You sure can, it will repair all hair - it might take a little longer if there’s a build up of keratin on the hair.
Hello Craig, my hairdresser used this on my hair this past week. Was skeptical because of the alcohol content but went on K18 website to read about the need for it it to deliver the peptides...but I still am not sure how to use this? As we start to use it less does that mean we go back to using our traditional conditioners after we have used the mask for a couple of months? So as we start to use it less do we start to go back to our regular conditioners? Just found your channel...well done!🇨🇦
Hi Jennifer. Thanks for your questions and for watching. You’re correct about the alcohol - it’s a “fatty” alcohol that helps deliver the peptide deep into the cortex (hairs main component) and it doesn’t do any damage. Use the mask consecutively (this builds the molecule up in the hair for max benefits) for 4-6 shampoos - then use it every third shampoo as maintenance. When you’re not using the leave in mask you can use whatever you prefer to condition with - when using the leave in, forgo conditioner and just shampoo…no need to use a clarifying product, your general shampoo is sufficient. As with anything new it can seem complicated but it really is that simple. Thanks for the kind words.
…just to add - there is an overview video on here and lots more usage info on my Instagram…linked all over the place on here.
Thank you for the speedy reply! And thanks for clarifying...I wanted to purchase this but have two full bottles of pricey conditioner in my shower and didn't want to let them go...nice to know I can still use them in future...after couples months will maybe alternate. And yes...was familiar with the fatty alcohols but it also contains the denant and isopropyl which turned me off initially but now I understand they are used as a delivery system for the peptides. Looking forward to checking out your Instagram!❤
I don't colour/bleach my hair or use excess heat apart from blowdrying. Would the K18 mask benefit my hair? I get a lot of breakage and split ends.
Hi there, thanks for watching. Yes, it’s fantastic on that’s had heat applied…let me know how you get on! 👨🏼🙌🏻
Is the K18 treatment salons offer the same product as the mask you can buy online? Or is there a professional use only version?
Thanks for watching. The Mask used in salon is the same as the retail product but in a bigger 150ml size - the pre treat mist is pro use only
Hi Craig. I have a question...If client is coming to salon and he will get bleaching service, the k18 mist is aplied before the bleaching service, but what if client has products in the hair ( oils, leave in conditioners, styling products etc.) will the mist still work and penetrate trough and protect the hair before bleaching? The mask should be aplied to clean hair with no conditioner so it can penetrate, that's why I am wondering about the mist? Because of course before the bleaching service we do not wash the clients hair that is why I am wondering. Thank you so much for your work and great videos.
Hi there, thanks for watching, your kind words and this great question. If the client uses a lot of heavy oil based styling products it would be best to shampoo the hair (avoiding too much scalp massage) before bleaching - if it’s a regular client you could always ask them to come along with minimal product before the appointment. Minimal product will not stop the mist from working - it’s mildly alkaline, so as long as the hair is lightly sprayed with water before application, the peptide will penetrate.
Thanks for answering the queation. You are the ³best...So not a lot of product in the hair is fine and the k18 mist will penetrate trough products in the hair when sprayed with water before the aplication of the k18 mist which has higher ph, around 8 and is alkaline... Thanks again for answering....
Hey thanks for this video. I used too much of the leave in mask and now my hair is very greasy. How can I remove it?
You’re most welcome, thanks for watching. As K18 mask is water based, all you have to do is rinse….
Can you use spray over products? Hairspray on hair before coloring
You sure can…be sure to make the hair lightly damp before applying the Molecular Mist
I want to try K18. Have you tried Olaplex? I really like Olaplex #3.
Hi Amber. I have, I was an Olaplex Advocate for the brand for 6 years…now I only use K18. Olaplex is a brilliant formulation, K18 adds strength to the hair in a different way.
Can you do a protein treatment like aphogee and then after washing that out use k18? Or does the protein coating block it out? Thanks!
Hiya. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. The leave in mask should always be applied to freshly shampooed hair - you could always do the protein treatment, shampoo, then use the mask.
@@theworldofcraig Thank you so much! :)
As the company presents it as a two step process, is it ok to use the spray followed by the mask WITHOUT a color treatment?
Hi there, thanks for watching. It sure is - ua-cam.com/video/Ec8xBWag_mI/v-deo.htmlsi=wXTGz-SuND1J3b7H - there’s an entire @k18hair playlist here on my channel
Hi Craig, I have waist length fine wavy bleached hair, been an Olaplex no 3 user for around two years, I use the whole line actually...it has done wonders for my hair, I have no split ends, breakage or damage, I use the Dyson airwrap for styling after my weekly hair wash and flat iron on my fringe, the only thing I do notice is my hair being a little dry on my ends, that's why I want to give K18 a try.
I have a few questions I hope you can help me clear out before I actually try K18. I only wash my hair once a week and I use Olaplex purple shampoo to tone my hair, one week on one week off, how do I use it while using K18? Specially during the first 6 treatments.
I understand that the way of using K18 is first use it 6 times continuously then every 3rd to 4rd wash for maintenance but am I gonna have to use it for life? Or can I just use it more sparingly after, like once every two months or so? What happens if I suddenly stop using it after the 6 treatments and few maintenance uses?
Thank you in advance :)
Hi Mariana, thanks for watching.
You can shampoo your hair with any cleanser prior to using K18 mask - the pH Maintenance shampoo optimises penetration of the peptide but you will still get great benefit from the line of you continue with what you are using currently.
The K18 peptide build up in the hair, hence why you use it consecutively to begin with. Colouring, heat, general wear and tear take their toll on your hair, that’s why you have to keep strength in check by using the mask as part of your ongoing routine.
Think of it like you would with a facial serum - you only get the benefits whilst you’re using it…but if you stop suddenly, your skin won’t deteriorate over night, it’s the same with K18. My bleach out clients use the mask every wash - as their first step after shampooing. You clearly are great at looking after your hair, you know what you’re doing, so don’t over think it - if you feel your hair needs the mask, use it…there really are no hard and fast “rules” with it.
@@theworldofcraig thank you so much for your answer Craig :)
@@VampirellaStrange You are most welcome.
Hi....can I use k18 right after a root touch up? Also, I have curly hair. Will it negatively affect my curls?
Hi. You certainly can - applying any colour that contains peroxide disrupts the bonds…which K18 repairs. If anything you’ll find the mask will make the curl/wave pattern of your hair more “regular” and support the natural texture.
Hi! Is the k18 safe to use on extensions? (100% human hair, beaded weft extensions)
Hi there. It sure is great on all natural extension hair- as with all hair care, be sure to keep it away from bonds/rings/etc.
Hi,
Can we use a rinse off conditioner after applying K18 and waiting for 4 minutes.
You sure can!
Could you use K18 if you have done recently in your hair a Straighten treatment ?
You sure can.
Great to Know i bought It last Saturday on my hair salon , and i was Kind of afraid later , thinking that It wasnt compatible with my hair Straighten treatment of Taninoplastia that for the moment i am doing one , It each 3 months .
Can the mist be used as a stand alone treatment without a chemical service? If so how would you use it?
Hi there, thanks for watching. It can be used as such if you wish - there’s a whole playlist here on my channel full of K18 videos that go through many questions you might have.
I wouldn’t compare K18 to other strength/bond building lines - both the mist and mask do the same thing, they are simply different delivery formulations, both can be used on virgin hair/without a chemical service.
Personally, I would just use the mask if I’m not doing a chemical service.
Can you use the mist without a chemical service? I mean, will it do something? I bought the spray, the mask and the oil, I was thinking about using the mist first then put on the mask than the oil. Will it be ok, or won’t change anything
You sure can! It’s all in this video - ua-cam.com/video/Ec8xBWag_mI/v-deo.htmlsi=dYh4CGTT-sHnRu31 - there’s an entire @k18hair playlist here on my channel too.
Can i add alittle splash of water to my hands before i emulsify the k18?
If that works for you…sure. 🙌🏻
Hey! are you supposed to just put the mask and mist on the ends or the scalp also?
Hi Shelby, thanks for watching. I wouldn’t apply either directly onto the scalp (not that they would be any harm, it would just be a waste) but make sure you have an even application throughout the head.
So as a salon professional , how would I use this as a stand alone treatment ( without proceeding with a chemical service ) ? The mist and mask or just the mask ?
Hi Jelena. It’s entirely up to you - both products contain the unique K18 peptide, they are just different delivery “systems”. If I’m cutting only I would use the leave in mask.
Thank you ! We recently received K18 in our salon and we are used to using Olaplex but I’m excited to try this new system specifically on myself as I like to change my color a lot ( hairstylist problems 🤣) and I wanted to prep my hair for my next color change as my hair is fine, dark and doesn’t like bleach particularly . So I guess I’ll be my own test subject to see how it really works ! Xo
@@jelenastajduhar3516 You’re welcome, glad I can help. There are other K18 videos on here and LOADS of content on my Instagram, which is linked all over the place on here. I switched over a year ago and didn’t think my clients hair could be better than it was…but it is! Enjoy.
@@jelenastajduhar3516hey, can I have a resume for the standalone treatment plz
Is it okay for the spray to be used as a treatment even if you aren’t doing a chemical treatment?
It sure is - same repair as the mask, just a different delivery system.
Hey great video- does this work for Afro hair?
It sure does…I’ve had fantastic results on Afro hair! Thanks for watching and for your kind words 👨🏻🙏🏻
Can you use k18 with olaplex no 4 , 6 &7 ?
You sure can. Just wait 4 minutes before applying any other products over K18 Leave in Mask - the mask always goes onto towel dried, shampooed hair….that’s not been conditioned.
I have extremely parched brittle fine dyed hair, I presume that once shampoo and k18 is applied (and 4 mins elapse) I'm OK to use leave in, oil's etc as usual?
Hi Claire, thanks for watching. That’s right, after 4 minutes you can layer over K18 leave in mask. Let me know how you get on…
I am on treatment 4 now. I'm not going to say that I have baby hair but it's significantly better. I have been using my normal shampoo (semi di lino) and applying, I leave for treatment time and I use leave in thereafter. My hair is like spiderweb, it's super fine
Breakage much improve, texture is better. I definately think this is a game changer
Brilliant…glad you’re enjoying it and K18 is making a difference.
my question is how important is it that i don’t use conditioner before applying? is there certain ingredients that it can’t penetrate through? i use all curly girl approved conditioners, so they do not have silicones, but there is a lot of oils and maybe glycerin etc.
i’m not a professional, but i managed to get ahold of the professional grade K18 products, because after home bleaching to white/silver, my hair *desperately* needs the repair.
right now, i cannot put shampoo into my hair and then just leave it freshly washed with no conditioner. it would be sooo dry and totally unmanageable. i don’t think i’d be able to run the product through with my fingers without help from my conditioner and leave-in.
can i try it over conditioners for the first treatment or two, and then, as it gets healthier & more manageable, move on to no conditioner?
i don’t even really shampoo my hair regularly. 😅 it is wavy texture, waist-length, and bleached bright white. it doesn’t need any oil-stripping. quite the opposite.
Hi there, thanks for watching. It’s most important that you don’t condition before K18 leave in mask - you’re correct, the peptides won’t penetrate and repair. You could gently work in as best you can - wait 4 minutes - then continue with your routine. I have clients who do just this, applying conditioner over the top after 4 minutes…wait for that to work…then rinse out. You don’t need to leave the mask in for it to repair, it just needs the 4 minutes. I know there’s definitely some curly haired content on the K18 Instagram - and my other K18 videos go into why you shouldn’t condition before the mask.
@@theworldofcraig thanks so much! i tried it & it worked just fine as a conditioner for me! 🥰🥰 then leave-in over it after the 4 minutes. i was worried it wouldn’t be enough.
Can the mask be used 24 hours prior to doing. A permanent ?
Hiya….thanks for watching. You sure can - the only time I’d advise against using the mask is with a Keratin treatment.
I've bleached my hair within an inch of its life then gone dark. The colour just keeps fading. Will this product help?
K18 will help, it does help to even out porosity and “close” the cuticle….but if your hair is super porous it’s only part of the solution.
Hello, i have bought can i use the Mist without Blech or coloring my Hair? I have very Log Hair 1m Log or longer, i have Blech 3 Times and now i have an little Bit of breakege. Maby If i use first the Mist and After 4 minutes the leave in ,it wil Help better? What du you say? ( Sorry my Englisch i am from Austria and i dont use it often)
Hi there. Thanks for watching and your question. The mist is really formulated for using *before* a chemical service (colour/perm etc) - it isn’t really designed to be left in the hair…but it won’t harm it if you do.
If you want to use both -
Mist your hair lightly with water - apply mist - wait 4 minutes - shampoo….don’t condition - apply mask - wait 4 mins then style or apply other products.
There is a full K18 usage video here on my channel. Let me know how you get on.
@@theworldofcraig you are the best ❤️ thanks so much for answering my question. Love your videos ❤️
@@theworldofcraig I will let you know, after I use it like this a few times 😁
I’m just wandering can you use k18 on dry hair or can it only be used on wet hair? Also can you only use it when you shampoo or can I use it after I condition my hair? Finally, can I use this treatment every day or do I need a cool down time for this. Thanks
Hi there. The hair should always be damp, freshly shampooed and not conditioned before you use the mask - dry or conditioned hair and the peptide repair the hair. You can use it every day if you wish…it’s impossible to harm the hair or “overuse” it - that said, if your hair isn’t that damaged it would waste the product. There is an overview video (and more K18 Q&A’s) here on my channel.
@@theworldofcraig Thank you for responding to my comment. I have one last question. I’m trying to limit shampoo usage because my hair is very dry due to very bad exposure to UV light. I also found out that silicon will hinder the effects of K18. Thus, can I use the treatment with a conditioner that not contain silicon byproducts?
No worries. The K18 leave in mask much always be used on freshly shampooed, towel dried, unconditioned hair - wait 4 minutes, then any other products can be applied over the top
Hi, I have used K18 twice now. Both times I let my hair airdry and then brush it, when brushing my hair feels a little ´sticky´ as if there is some glue or styling gel in it... So it is difficult to brush... Does it mean I used too much product? I only use 1 pump on my chinlength bob...
Thanks!
Hi there. Hmmm, I’ve never experienced anyone’s hair feeling “sticky”? It could well be that you only need half a pump - you shouldn’t feel like there’s anything in your hair.
@@theworldofcraig thanks, I will try half a pump next time 🙂
Hey! For ur avg guy short hair length, will the 5ml be enough for 6 consecutive uses?
Hi there, thanks for watching. Yes, it sure should be.
@@theworldofcraig Thank u so much for the rreply. I'm not really sure which one to go for, olaplex 3 or k18; I had month back dyed my hair to cover up grey hairs that were coming in just at 23!

Which one would u suggest I go for?x
@@oxfordnoi5609 You’re most welcome, thanks for watching. K18 Leave In Mask is the one to go for, it repairs the hair and helps with elasticity at a much deeper level than anything else on the market.
Also, if you you the k18 mist then do you need to dry it before coloring?
Hiya. It’s entirely up to you - I don’t tend to but you sure can if you prefer.

Hello hope you are well, I wanted to ask if After using k18 your hair considered to be in the same health as virgin hair meaning that if you have bleached hair and you used k18 would your hair after using k 18 still become horridly damage if you re bleach over the previously bleached hair ?
Hi Mari-Luise, thanks for watching. All good here thanks. Every head of hair is different and the processes that have been previously applied also have an impact. K18 will increase strength in all hair for sure and the more you use it the more repair it gives. I can’t really comment on whether you should re-bleach or not without seeing the hair in question.
Oh! People are so adorably gullible these days! 🧐 No wonder, these companies are making so much money, thanks to fools like you. She asks: " can k18 return my chemically damaged hair to its previous virgin state?" Hahaha!
@@keanux Please, let’s not be mean on this platform.
@@theworldofcraig sorry, just couldn't help it. People do not seem to realize that there are no live cells in hair so hair, strictly speaking, cannot repair itself or be repaired. Only thing that the cosmetic industry can offer is temporary solutions that can make hair "look like"it is healthy but most certainly it is not. Once hair has been seriously damaged there's no turning back. The only way damaged hair can return to a healthy state is cut it and wait for it to grow back
@@keanux Not everyone has your level of knowledge, so please let’s be kind on my account. Thanks
Can I use k18 and then dye my hair?
You sure can. There’s an entire K18 playlist here on my channel.
I made a massive mistake of using K18 leave in every single time I washed for months !! My hair seems thinner and broken , it could be menopause too but is this also from over use of K18 ? X
Hi Andrea, thanks for watching. K18 leave in mask can be used (and is by a lot of my clients) every wash day - it won’t do your hair any harm as it’s not protein based…although it’s worth adding that even most protein based treatments won’t make your hair snap.
@@theworldofcraig thank you for reply ! It must just be menopause 🫣 x
Does this need a Clarifying shampoo before use of the K18?!
Hi there, thanks for watching. It doesn’t - the new detox and pH Maintenance shampoos get the hair prepped for max repair but you can use any shampoo you like. There are a couple of K18 Q&A videos on here that answer it in more depth….
@@theworldofcraig thanks I only use bumble and bumble leave in and oil in my hair threw out the time I don’t wash.. so would I even need one?? Maybe just wash with shampoo I use 2 times..
@@theworldofcraig I’m not a heavy product user no hair spray no gel.. just a leave in when wet and oil threw out till I was sometimes a little leave in to hold some stray hairs down.. your awesome!! I’ll be subscribing to your channel now!!!! 🤍
The shampoo you have is totally ok…make sure you wait the 4 minutes before applying your other products.
@@lifeoflw84 Glad I could help…thanks for your support
Can i wash my hair with water only after the day i use k18
Hi Susmita…thanks for watching and for your question. You sure can - after 4 minutes K18 has repaired hair.
@@theworldofcraig thank so much for answering.. 😊
Hi I dropped my mask bottle the lid popped off any clues on how to fix it its brand new grrrrr
Hi there, thanks for watching. Sorry that happened…afraid not, never had that happen, it should pop back on…?
you would think so but no it goes on but not pumping the product up never mine ill try to get the top off

What size is the mask you have? I can only find 50ml
Hi there, thanks for watching. The one I have in the video is 150ml - it’s a professional size, only available for hair pro’s. Exactly the same mask just bigger as we use more of the product on our clients.
@@theworldofcraig thanks for the reply. I am a professional but my supplier only had the 50ml listed. I'll speak to the rep about the 150ml. Thanks again
@jamieniche Of course, you’re welcome. Great, they should be able to help…
K18 is 'the new olaplex', the new "hair trend" on social media, the latest hair product with a ridiculously expensive price tag. These brands are notoriously known to fool potential customers into thinking that just because something costs so much it will do 'magic'. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not saying k18 does not work, I just mean that none of the ingredients ( yeah! Even the "magical" peptide can be found in other products with a much lower price) justifies that absurd price. If you really want to repair chemically damaged hair, you should try Aphogee 2Step Treatment, so effective that you just need to use it every 4-6 months. It repairs the long polypeptide chains that make up most the hair structure, and it does so by adding protein to the hair.
Hi there, thanks for watching. So, I don’t work for K18 and my video wasn’t sponsored content - I can only speak from my experience with clients in salon…I switched over from another product 18 months ago and I’ve been getting the most incredible results. For me it’s really about MAX results…in minimum time, K18 has cut down process timing whilst really giving my clients long, strong hair and maintaining their colour. FYI - the K18 peptide is patented, so isn’t in any other product. At the end of the day if you love something else, that’s GREAT! I haven’t used the treatment you mention so I can’t comment…
@@theworldofcraig at no point did I mean your video was sponsored or that you worked for k18 creators. I have one question: have you ever tried k18 on bleached hair (level 10, silver White) with breakage? If so, was it a successful result? That was my case. I was using olaplex for a year and I never got any satisfactory results ( no wonder, as olaplex just "repairs" disulphide bonds, which make up just a small part of the hair's structure. On the other hand, k18 makes much more sense to me since it "fixes" the polypeptide keratin chains...) First time I used Aphogee, the breakage was reduced to small zero... I do not mean k18 can't do that, I just mean that I find the price of such products an insult to my intelligence...
@@keanux Oh, I wasn’t insinuating that you were suggesting that - just giving you some background info for context. I would suggest you have a look at my IG - craigsworldofhair - it’s packed with K18 results on bleached hair. Check out Ava, you’ll see her in a Reel from last week) 25 inch bleach out and I re-bleach/cleanse the ends frequently!
Which is better? Olaplex or k18?
Hi there. It’s not a case of one being better than the other - it’s about innovation and how they both do what they do. There’s an overview video here on my channel a few videos back…and loads of K18 info/usage on my Instagram. I’ve been using the line since April, it’s made a huge difference to my work in salon.
@@theworldofcraig I've tried both & they didn't seem equal in results, that why I ask about your experience.
Do you have a preference or how do you decide which one you want to use on a client?
They do what they do in different ways. I use K18 on every client.
@@theworldofcraig You don't use Olaplex anymore?
I don’t. I’ve used K18 since last April.
I have been using the mask but also saw the mist so was wondering if that is worth buying as well to use at home if hair is extra damaged
Hi there, thanks for watching. The mist and mask do the same thing - they are just different delivery systems. The mist is for pro use only, to be used before a chemical service - there is a K18 overview video right here on my channel that goes through it all.
@@theworldofcraig Thanks! I will watch that!
Hey! Can I use K18 on my extensions?
Hi there! You sure can, it’s great on extensions/wigs etc - as with all product, keep it away from any bonds/fixings…
You brush the hair after you apply the mask? I throughly you were not supposed to do anything to the hair, even brush it, for 4 minutes?? 🤔
Also, if I am doing stand alone treatments on my clients that are brand new to k18, do I need to continue to do treatments on them if they are taking the mask home? Or is it pointless?
The only thing that kind of stinks is I feel like I’m losing out on possible money then for them to come in for treatments. Trying to figure all of this out lol but of course I want them to take the mask home above anything and keep repairing their hair at home
Hi Danielle, thanks for watching. You can brush/comb the hair directly after applying the mask, you don’t have to wait 4 minutes before doing so - when something is new (and this GOOD) the world generates “myths” regarding usage. As far as ongoing treatments go, it’s a case of if the hair needs them, then go for it. You can’t overuse the line…if you apply it, it’s doing good.
I spent $400 Canadian total on the 50 ml ones over a period of a couple months and I feel like my hair is 10 times worse And breaks off more and it’s just overall gross to touch
protein overload ✨
@@imawakemymindisalive13 I thought there was no protein in the products though...
You’re using too much.
Hi Ainsley, thanks for watching…I’ve only just seen this. The protein in the Leave in Mask is very minimal - it is there only to “carry” the peptide to the cortex to do its repair. It would be completely impossible to “overload” the hair with protein using K18.
Hi there, I’ve only just seen this - please see the answer I’ve just left on Ainsley’s comment
Thank you for this video!🤍
Because my hair is very damaged, after shampooing, if I don’t apply mask, it gets so much knots , how can I do to detangle it if I can t use mask or conditioner ?
Thank you!!
Thanks !
Hi there. Thanks for watching! You can apply other leave in conditioners over K18 mask once the product has been on the hair for 4minutes.
K18 itself is actually quite detangling on its own. Trust me I know I have afro textured hair.
I agree - although I do feel that some folks benefit from extra manageability…as brilliant as K18 is, it’s impossible to formulate enough “slip” for all hair textures in one product.
I prodotti mi sembrano buoni, ma costano tantissimo ... mamma mia ! 😱😱😱
Sorry…I don’t speak Italian…
@@theworldofcraig I translate: the products seem good to me, but unfortunately they cost a lot
@@fpincio Thanks for that. Ahhh, I see. It is brilliant…a little goes a long way, so it lasts a while.
This made my hair even more dry and brittle. I did everything it said to :(
Hi Mary. Sorry to hear you felt it made your hair dry. You can apply the mask - wait 4 minutes - then apply a “slippier” leave in conditioner over the top. Once the 4 minutes are up the peptides in the line have done their repairing. You could also try using a little more, applying a little at a time.
Me too ! Glad I’m not the only one. I spent $400 Canadian total on the 50 ml ones over a period of a couple months and I feel like my hair is 10 times worse!
protein overload
@@imawakemymindisalive13 k18 doesn’t have protein
Does it financially benefit you if comments are left?
Hi there. Nope, not at all. My channel is monetised - meaning if viewers watch any adverts (not set by me) it generates revenue. The education on all my digital platforms is free…and I do not make sponsored content.
@@theworldofcraig thank you so much for explaining because I think you're wonderful and I want you to benefit as much as possible!
@@Luckylady2224 Well, you are very kind and your fabulous support is much appreciated. Thank you

Gee thanks! Very happy with that… 👨🏻🙏🏻
50ml for 80euro is just a joke tbh
I have very very long bleached to a level 10 1 meter long hair , if I buy this I’ll maybe get 2 uses of 3 with good luck
Because everyone is accepting this price they can ask for it and it makes me angry because maybe if u have super short hair it’s afforded but for girls with very long hair just ain’t the case we are being discriminated again
Hi there, thanks for watching. You wouldn’t need to to use more than 4 pumps on longer length hair to get the best results and as it’s a leave-in product, a little goes a long way, it’s super concentrated. Once you’ve used it consecutively 4/5 times, you can slot it into your routine, using it every 3 shampoos. The 50ml retail size is lasting my longer haired bleach out clients 6/7 weeks - they repurchase when they come to see me for a top up. They’ve also found after continued use (every 3 shampoos at home) they often don’t need to use it so frequently. We’ve seen the most incredible results since I started using it in salon last April…
I feel the same way! That’s why I’m going on eBay and buying the professional 150 ml version as well as the mist from resellers lol
@@antoniamakridakis1289 Hi Antonia. WAHOO! A heads up - the mist and mask do the same thing, they are just different “delivery” systems. If you’re not intending to use it before a chemical service perhaps stick with the mask for home use….that said, neither will ever do the hair any harm. Enjoy!
I have very long hair and understand that having beautiful long hair can be expensive. It isn't discrimination, it's just how it is. Long hair uses more product and more hair equals more time and money at the salon. It's just how it is if you choose to maintain long hair. Also, I've had the same bottle of K18 for over 3 months now and haven't used it all and have seen amazing results. I use it as directed and it takes 2 pumps to saturate my waist-length thick hair. The more you use it the less you need because it's actively smoothing and repairing your hair. It's a solid investment IMO.
