What is K18 and how does it work?
K18 is the new kid on the block that seems set to knock the impressive Olaplex off its golden pedestal – or at least share it. K18, named after its key ingredient K18Peptide, containing a unique sequence which can bring damaged hair back to its original state — is able to reconnect the polypeptide chains that make up the inner structure of hair.
So, what are the key differences between the two?
Both products appear to affect and repair hair at a deeper level than other treatments or conditioners. The discernible difference between the two is that. Repairing the bonds using Olpalex has more of a structural, surface level impact whereas repairing the polypeptide chains using K18 works on the inner core of the hair.
When to use K18
Because K18 is key to repairing hair, it’s excellent to use before coloring hair, but can be used on virgin hair too to repair everyday wear and tear.
When to use Olaplex
Olaplex is perfect for temporary rejuvenation of the hair after styling, heat or chemical damage.
