I used olaplex nr2 which is stronger than nr3 and I didn’t see much of a difference. I bought the k18 and used it for the 6 treatments and it really repaired my hair. I was in awe! ❣️❣️❣️
K18 and Olaplex have a place in a hair care regime since they benefit the hair in different ways. I just started using K18, so I’ll see how it goes. I also still use Olaplex.
According to K18 it does what Olaplex does and more.
@@cfoster6804 Olaplex has the benefit of being *much* cheaper. I use it to stretch the time between k18 uses
K18 actually does what Olaplex does plus more
Which one was better for you DeShawna
My personal experience is that olaplex seems to make my hair a little stronger and k18 makes it a little softer and slightly less frizzy. Hope that helps because both are fairly pricey.
K18 is so much better! K18 results are permanent and do not wash out and works in such less time than Olaplex does and it does so much more than olaplex! So it’s basically a win win situation.
K18 has changed my life in the way I approach chemical services!
I was able to bleach my permed/highlighted/colored hair to platinum blonde in one session and my hair felt like virgin hair still!!!! I was in beyond shock cause I thought my hair would break at least a bit but it didn’t at ALL!!
K18 is NO JOKE! Works like a miracle!
Hi Sophie, My hairdresser has put me on k18 and I saw results from the first treatment. I am continually using it at home and my hair has improved a lot. My hair is colour treated. I love how it's not time consuming and easy to use. I can definitely see positive results on your hair from both products, k 18 looks more shiny. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺😉🌸🌻
Your hair looks much smoother on the k18 side. I love following your hair journey. I cried for you when your hair snapped, but seeing you have your confidence back makes me so happy
I used K18 and really it’s really good!!! My hair got burned in front and I colored ( used K18 mist) and after mask and really changed not fragile anymore!!!!!! I wish can send u pic before and after but my hair was burned and K18 made it much better !!!
I saw a hairdresser’s review and he said that the 2 do different things to the hair so they can’t really be compared in a general way. One might fix your hair’s type of damage better one month, and the other the next depending on what you’ve put your hair through!
Funnily enough if you had of asked me a couple of months ago i would have said olaplex. However since its Summer here in Australia and everyday here is 35 degrees celcius my hair is getting totally destroyed by chlorine, sun and salt and K18 totally transformed that just after one use, whereas olaplex really did nothing for me. K18 is Sooooo amazing and I love that it works so quickly and easily. No waiting around forever like i used to do with olaplex. Love the 4 minutes, feels like magic. I would say that if you have damage from the sun, pool and beach K18 is much more superior for that kind of damage!!
I just finished my 6th treatment. My hair feels softer and looks about 35% better.
I've just started to really get into all the different steps of the Olaplex system. But you've completely sold me on K18. My hair needs some serious repair. Hopefully K18 works as well for me as it did for you.
No you are right, we can see the difference, and I experienced it as well. For me Olaplex didn’t work and let my hair grassy. While K18 really repaired my hair from bleaching.
I use K18 it is defiantly a game changer! I use K18 one week then
use Olplax the next week. It has made a huge difference to my
hair. Also once a week I do the rosemary oil for scalp.
Great review! I've tried both and I agree, K18 definitely seems to work better. From what I've read, the reason is because Olaplex appears to "wash out" after each wash, making it seem less effective, but it still works. K18 seems to last longer than Olaplex in my experience, however, one huge negative for K18 is that it's loaded with gluten! I'm gluten sensitive, so the wheat ingredients are a big red flag for me and I don't use it anymore. I probably wouldn't have tried it had I realized it had wheat, so it's not allergy friendly for some people unfortunately.
Hey Amanda I was interested to hear your thoughts, I am severely Coeliac (I'll be in bed for days with the tiniest cross contamination) and I have still been using K18 with no issues. It's a big myth in the natural health industry that gluten proteins can penetrate your skin and enter your blood stream that way, the only way it happens is if you're using a lipstick or toothpaste where it can accidentally be ingested. So in your case, do you react to it even if it's just coming in contact with your skin?
The only reason I comment this is for anyone else reading this with a gluten sensitivity or coeliac disease, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't use it, topical sensitivity is very rare and is still safe in most cases! I don't doubt your experience because our skin is all so different and can react to different things, I just don't want anyone who avoids eating gluten to think that they automatically have to avoid wheat protein in topical products.
@@avaboyer9297 awesome information, and I definitely agree, not everyone has the same issues, but for me, I tend to get an increase in scalp irritation when there's wheat protein in hair products. It's a bummer, but I've tried multiple things and it's the same reaction every time. But I have a LOT of allergies and sensitivities, so it's just different for me. But my apologies, I didn't mean to have my comment interpreted as if people with gluten issues can't use things like K18, I was just speaking about myself 😊.
@@beezer81 that's so interesting and frustrating for you. And don't apologise!! I was just interested to know if you already know your skin reacts to gluten, or if it was more of a preference/precaution. But if you see that pattern consistently with topical wheat products then your skin probably does react to it which sucks, it's in so many products :( I don't know anyone with a skin sensitivity to wheat products so it's interesting to pick your brains!
Haven’t tried K18 leave in mask yet ,but been using Olaplex No.3 for years now and it does repair and make hair feel stronger. 👌
I must admit, I didn't want k18 to work due to the price and the tiny amount you get. However it has definitely made a big difference to my hair which is extremely damaged. I think the thing for me is the not using a conditioner after shampooing. It feels so strange 😂
You can apply the K18 after shampooing, wait 4 minutes then use your conditioner or mask as usual.
@@cfoster6804 k18 is not something you can use to rinse out then use a conditioner or a hair mask. It's literally a leave-in treatment for your hair.
@@gosick442 The brand has confirmed you can use conditioner after as long as you've waited the 4 minutes.
This video is exactly what I've been waiting for!
What happens when you stop? Because with a keratin treatment your hair start to suck in time you have to keep it up or it goes south. It feels like a type of keratin treatment which you also dont do every single time because it staYs in your hair.
Will it go back to normal or will you be stuck in using it to keep up the result or it will het bad? Worse than it was to start with
i've been using Olaplex for many months and recently got K18 and love it. I like the way Olaplex has lots of different products to suit what you want, like a serum, leave in, oil etc. while K18 only has the leave in and two shampoos. It would be cook for K18 to expand their range, like something similar to Olaplex 3
I think the difference is definitely visible. Interesting product
Ah so glad you could see the results!
I think she removed all of the Ola Plex after the clarifying shampoo so that sucks
I splurged on K18 but I didn’t find it to be my holy grail product 😔 I missed the moisturising effects of my Amika mask. From speaking my to my hairdresser I believe no treatment can really reverse damage as hair is not a living organism. Bond builders and treatments can only mask the appearance of damaged hair 😔
I had a hairdresser over process my hair after a year I’m nearly there obviously regular trims and good quality shampoos and conditioners help x
Definitely don't just use protein/bond based treatments your hair needs a balance so it's always good to once your hair has gotten to a good state try to balance the protein & moisture. Sometimes if your hair gets too much protein that can be bad for it! So hard to manage I know! Sometimes yeah your hair is past the point of fully repair - for example continuing using heat whilst using K18 or bleach etc won't fully repair but it'll maintain
Thanks for your reply - love your content makes me feel as though I’m not alone on my hair journey ❤️ I’ve enjoyed using amika products 👍 it’s so frustrating when a hairdressers you trust over processes your hair 😟I’m about to try pureology strength cure shampoo and conditioner line they have a lot of positive reviews 👍 maybe you could do a video on any shampoo/conditioners you use. I do love olaplex but I’ve heard the PH level of the shampoo is quite high so I’m using the conditioner more x
Hey just a little Tip if you really miss the amika mask you can use it after the 4min of K18, also make sure to use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of silicones and protein build up otherwise K18 might not be able to full penetrate the hair.
Thanks for tip I’ve never used clarifying shampoo I’ve always thought it would strip my toner and be drying! What’s your experience?
I look forward to seeing more of your hair journey and I’m so glad all your efforts are working. I saw no difference between the two sides but you said they felt different so I’d go with that. Hope Luna is recovering from her surgery.💚💚
I'm in love with your accent
Team K18 here. Started with Olaplex and moved to K18 mostly because of ease of use plus K18 said they did everything Olaplex did and more. I find my results are better with K18.
Two tips I have for using K18:
1. Do not skip the clarifying part. This is crucial. The treatment won't work well if you do. Even if you have to do 2 washes with a clarifying shampoo to get the product out, do it. I recommend Malibu C Un Do Goo. Gets all the gunk and resins out and leaves the hair feeling good and not stripped to death.
2. If you have dry brittle hair DO NOT skip the conditioner/masks. Just apply AFTER the 4 minutes. K18 has done its job after 4 minutes so you can apply whatever after that. I apply my hair mask after the 4 minutes rinse out and then apply any styles or leave ins. K18 is loaded with the drying alcohol so you definitely want to counter that.
You are not supposed to rinse out K18???
@@helenalovelock1030 No you leave it in. You can either shampoo, then apply K18, leaving it in and going about your day OR you can add the conditioner to your hair after letting the K18 sit for 4 minutes but you will need to rinse the conditioner out. You just don’t rinse AFTER applying the K18. Hope that makes sense. :)
I forgot to add that you can shampoo, apply K18 then just add a leave-in conditioner on top then style which is what Sophie did in the video.
Yeah I tend to opt for a leave in mask/conditioner so I don't rinse the K18 even after the 4 minutes
@@helenalovelock1030 Sorry, I wasn't clear you don't rinse the K18 out before applying the other rinse out condituoner/mask. You apply the conditioner on top of the k18 after 4 minutes then rinse it all out. The k18 is already absorbed at this point and connected to the bonds so that won't be rinsed out. This way just removes some of the drying alcohol.
You can see a slight difference, but you have stated in previous videos that the side you put the olapex on was more damaged, so not sure if it’s just down to that. Either way your hair is a far cry from the damaged hair caused by the salon. Xx
Make sense right
I get what your saying . But what ingredients does this ? It has protiens and the star ingredient is a conditioning sufuctant .
Looking stunning as always!
Thank you so much for the comparison video, I’ve just bought k18 to try! I’ve found when you dispense a pump to emulsify it by rubbing my hands together and it’s way easier to pop on and get a more even coverage! I’m excited to see how my hair evolves over the next 6 washes 🧖🏻♀️
Good luck! I hope it helps your hair!
Update?
I swear I saw never before improvements with k18 with only two uses/washes !! That I ever saw with Olaplex using it for years !!! Best product ever and it toke me so long to buy it cuz of the price and a lot of people didn’t like it but omg best thing I have ever tried, k18 will ALWAYS be in my hair care from now on. Hands down ! Also I have bleached platinum blonde hair and my hair naturally is a dark brown.
I used K18 for two months and it hasn’t done anything to my bleach damaged hair, it still just breaks off at the bleach line (especially when wet). I also stopped using any heat at all and you’re not supposed to use conditioner before the K18 so my hair just looks sh*t all the time. I have even more giant broken off sections at the hair root about than you did 😭 I’ve been taking collagen (nails are def super strong now) and I’m trying Bondi Boost spray + Vegamour Gro serum next wish me luck 🤞 ALSO the K18 gave me terrible breakouts and scabs all around my temples and hair line which Olaplex never did. I have super sensitive skin (like my dermatologist is even surprised by the sensitivity) so that happens with a ton of products but just a warning to others who might be sensitive.
You can use conditioner after the initial four minutes, if that helps at all! Just gently rewet your hair (to rinse as little as possible out) and proceed as usual. I also always do the conditioning steps of my hair before washing my face/body for similar sensitive skin reasons, even if that means I’m dicking around on my phone in a turned-off shower for a couple minutes lol
@@sylviesuccubus8503 you're not supposed to do that though it defeats the purpose of repairing your hair with k18 😩
@@gosick442 sometimes people need extra slip and the company literally says you can
@@gosick442 how would it defeat the purpose of repairing hair with k18? It works in 4 minutes .. after that you can do or put wte you want in hair.
I used olaplex no3 for years... It did do something (which is great because most products dont really do much) but they must have changed the formula or something because it just doesnt work anymore! Very strange.
Tried k18, felt great after only one use. It truelly does restore but its no miracle: You should invest in k18 but mostly in tactics and ways to preserve your hair!
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.
Yes, you can absolutely tell the difference! Looks amazing!
Since k18 it's killing my hair horrible! Super dry & frizzy. Oplex didn't do that. I don't know to keep trying & see if it gets better or let it keep snapping my hair apart! And I'm doing it right! Bleached hair like yours here. I gotta put sooo much leave in and oils insane after k18 to even try to tey to get it sofy somewhat. It's been horrible 😊
How do you think, what if I do Olaplex and the next day K18?
Olaplex is really a joke compared to K18. First of all you can combine K18 great with a lot of products. With Olaplex you have to be so picky especially when it comes to Keratin. My hair is so shiny even after the washes when it is not k18 day. And the easy application makes it worth every cent. And I easily get away with one pump for my shoulder length hair. That was the only negative in that video. I was screaming at my tv "why is she using so much?" 😅 So a little goes really a long way when you detangle (Ninabella brush is a gamechanger) before application. Long story short, I love that K18 stuff 🤩
Is it possible for one to do an olaplex treatment with no.3 and then used k18 after shampooing ?
I had 7 products from the Olaplex range the only one I rate is #3. I think Olaplex smooths bonds but you need to use it all the time. I think the shampoo and conditioner are a total waste of money and the #8 mask isn't as good as #3. It doesn't repair, it's a temporary fix. I've just ordered the K18 because it's permanent.
I've never heard about k18. I'm going to ruin my super long hair bleaching 😅 so I think I'll need this k18 product. Thank you! Have a great day 💖
Oh if you're gonna be bleaching definitely try K18!
@@sophiehannah_ yeah I will! thanks 😊
I am team olaplex, but just ordered k18 after watching your video, so we shall see.
It'll be interesting to see how your hair is after K18
Will let you know.
@@beatakumorowska4741 Well?
Can totally see the k18 side is glossier and moves nicer
I'm so bummed my shoulder length hair is dry, damaged, breakage in places and split ends. I get bleach foils every 3 months and I've spent a fortune on haircare. Olaplex, pureology, Kerastase, just heaps of stuff but I still need it cut off when I go back next month. Very frustrating!
Give k18 a try and you will not regret it!!!!
Every other product you use will be nonsense to repairing your hair after you try k18!
There is no product on the market that can repair damage like k18 does! It’s also permanent so it don’t wash away like every other treatment does!
@@nickprince9119 yes I use k18 but my hair had breakage and some split ends, and there's no going back once that happens. I'll continue to use it to help prevent that happening again ☺
@@BlackRainbow84 yes the only way to repair split ends is to chop them off!
But after you get trimmed k18 will prevent it as much as possible.
If you find your hair still dry after using and waiting 4 min you can use your favourite hair mask or conditioner to do that job! :)
Just make sure to keep in mind if you do that the next time you wash your hair and use k18 shampoo with a clarifying shampoo to remove product buildup
I am curious which would be better for untreated undamaged hair.
Untreated, undamaged hair wouldn't need either of these products. They're both for repairing hair 🤷
Will K18 repair my hair which hasn't been bleached or dyed? The only heat I use is blowdrying my hair. I do get a lot of breakage and split ends.
This is clearly sponsored by K18, she even got "the notes" lol. Honey, your hair is not improving, you're just growing out healthy hair and not bleaching it. Also a common misconception is that olaplex is supposed to make your hair look shiny, it isn't. It's supposed to make your hair stronger and less susceptible to breaking, pull your hair and find out :)
WATS THE LIPSTICK SHADE ?? And brand
I've been using olaplex for about a year now. Will definitely be trying k18! I can see the difference in your hair and the olaplex side looks like mine so I'm curious so see the results of k18.
Please do do a video about growing your hair! My hair grows so slowly!!!!!
Ayurvedic plants
Do you put k18 all the way up to your roots? That’s where a lot of my damage is but it makes me nervous to put a post-wash product in root to tip that it’ll end up looking greasy!
People need to understand they may claim something, but they are not the same at all . K18 contains things that a repairing conditioner would or a good leave in .
This is so helpful! Just got k18 (have used twice and wow!!!!) and been using olaplex for about 8 mos! So question, can I still use olaplex shampoo before k18? Will I over protein my hair? Also after the first 6 times, olaplex 4 and 5? I also use 0 and 3. Thanks for the help!
K18 is way too expensive, I can put money but for something thats worth it in consistency and in long-term!
For Olaplex, I got an allergy so I'm trying to find an alternative by using keratin products based.
k18 is worth it to a lot of people.
I tried both and I preferred k18
Thankyou. Very informative. What is the name of the lease in conditioner you use pkease?
K18
do you know whats your hair porosity?
The salon i work at has k18 we all love it
Bought it after watching this video 🤣🤣 also bought olaplex previously because of your other video I believe. Anyway, thank you for the insight! Love you!!! ❤️
You're welcome! Your hair is gonna feel amazing after k18!
what lashes?? they’re beautiful 😻
Does it leave your hair waxy after leaving it for the recommended time.
Not at all - the k18 treatment you use a little amount
Merci !!! c'est flagrant pour moi :-)
what shampoo did you use ???
I usually spend around 200$ a month in Olaplex products due to the permanent results, are the K18 results permanent too? If so can it be used right away after bleaching?
Yeah they can be used straight after bleaching - it's going to repair your hair from the inside out
K18 is supposed to be more permanent than olaplex. It says to use for the first 4-6 consecutive washes in the beginning and then only every 4th-6th wash after that. You will also most likely use way way less than olaplex they even have a recommendation of how many pumps to use depending on your length and thickness on their website.
Thank u 4 the tip about hair treatment . Today I just buy myself tea tree oil & teatree hair mask . Because my hair keep fallen & my scalp is dead dried & itch & I needed my hair treatment
Where can you buy k18 from?
Amazon!
Excellent!
Which clarifying shampoo do you use? I use a heap of leave-in products but always scared clarifying shampoo will be too stripping on my bleached hair..
Malibu C Undo Goo. It will get all of that product resin out and will not dry your hair out. I know a lot of shampoos say they won't dry your hair but this one seriously doesn't. They sell sample packs too.
This is probably my third time commenting on this. But I love those coin type earrings that you have on.. please where can I get some??
K18 didn't work on dry damage hair at all. This product dries them up and they became frizzy after the recommended 6 uses. After I use Phyto Paris products (a lot less expensive that K18 for a lot more product), my hair became shiny. I'm sure glad I bought K18 at Sephora as I got my money back. Thanks Sephora for my 100.$. This product is not cheap mind you. Over-enthusiastic followers hyped it up but it doesn't deserve it in my very humble opinion.
I love both
K18
This info is just what they say . The olaplex would have repaired it and now the k18 is conditioning it
Idk if my K18 was authentic, because I did not have the experience you all had. Felt like it stripped the crap out of my hair. My hair was a rats nest when washed it after a few uses. Was worse after using it 4 times 😭😭
Same here, I bleached my hair recently and just started using K18 as a leave-on treatment. So far after two uses I didn’t get the result people are raving about - hair was very frizzy and puffy. I’m using the three carded samples (5ml*3) I bought from the salon. I’m also using Olaplex No. 7 bonding oil. I’m thinking if I should add No. 3 or 6 into my hair regimen…
@@thebadassbxtch I like 3 and also 8 (the conditioning mask) my hair is super dry. Think k18 made worse that way
Guys, please use a leave in after K18. It repairs, not conditions. It's loaded with alcohol so you need something after. You can even use your regular moisturizing mask or conditioner after the 4 minutes.
@@cfoster6804 agree with that. I used it then got back in shower to finish my conditioning after 10 min. Ugh didn’t read what was in it. I def didn’t need alcohol on my dry hair
Yeah I tend to add in a leave in conditioner or leave in mask after I've waited 4 mins for k18 to work it's magic
Omgx k18 is so expensive 😭😭 I need it
