Tonight I tried k18 for the first time. My hair is shoulder length, colored, and I use a blow dryer and flat iron every day. Iâm also in the heat and sun a lot, so yes, I have some damage. I followed the directions in applying K18 then I let my hair air dry for a half hour before I started styling. At first I didnât really see much improvement. I had styled my hair as usual with both a hair dryer and a round heated airbrush. I thought......meh....not really different, not worth the money. Then I got out my flat iron and thatâs when the MAGIC happened!!!After using my flat iron, my hair became SO shiny and smooth. My hair has never felt this good before......definitely worth the money. They say it gets even better over time.I canât wait to see it get even better!
Never apologise for explaining things thoroughly đ itâs great that you give so much detail on everything đ Thankyou for all the great information, itâs so helpful! đ„°
đ„°â„ïž
I love how thorough she is and I never feel like itâs too much. I agree, itâs nothing to apologize about
Thatâs why I subscribed to her channel. She explains but not overly
I can really see a difference in the before and after as you described. I have virgin hair but I love K18 to repair the ends of my hair because I work outside a lot and it can get sun damaged which weakens the protein bonds. Has really strengthened it and keeps it healthy and shiny. It's expensive but worth it and is now a HG product. Yay for science :)
I love this stuff! It was seriously a game changer for my hair! My stylist also using the âduring treatmentâ step. She sprays another step on my hair before she applies the bleach and that has also made a huge difference! This will stay in the front of my cabinet!
Just a lil tip Iâve discovered while using this on my super tangly, curly hair: try to condition and detangle BEFORE shampooing, that way you have less tangles and the conditioner doesnât interfere with the product đ„°
oh smart
If it doesn't interfere with the product, wouldn't she come up with this idea by herself? đ€
I just watched another video from K18 themselves, and the reason why one shouldn't be using the conditioner is because the silicones that might bevin there, block K18. So, one can use conditioners without silicones.
@@forisma It's still not recommended though because other ingredients besides silicon can coat the hair shaft and make it harder for the K-18 to penetrate the hair shaft. Sure, it can still work, but at a much reduced efficacy. I personally wouldn't recommend using conditioner even if you are completely stripping it (and how can you guarantee that?) with shampoo after. Idk man, for a product this expensive, I just wouldn't do anything to make it less effective.

My stylist used this on my hair a few weeks ago (the salon version) and it was amazing. She told me the president of K18 used to work for Olaplex for years!
Ah! That explains it. Someone said Olaplex released this and I was confused.
K18 was co founded by suveen sahib and his wife Britta cox. He was an engineer and his wife the owner of acquis which is a company that sells hair towels. The formula was made with the assistance of a bio engineering scientist with a university in Portugal.
It has nothing too do with olaplex. Ur hairdresser is wrong
This was invented from the same people that invented olaplex, sold olaplex and invented this.
@@tatejones6896
Olaplex founded in 2014 by Dean and Darcy Christal and formulated with the assistance of two chemists Dr Eric presley and Dr craig hawker in their garage. Then patented. The company was sold in 2019 too advent international.
K18 was formulated by suveen sahib an engineer, with the assistance of the bio engineer scientist prof artur paulo and his research team at his university
Suveens desire too create a product came from his wife's business which is microfiber hair towels.
The k18 and olaplex are not related in anyway. One was created with the assistance of chemists and one was created with the assistance of biomedical technology
All different people with no relation
Good hair days make me feel like I can rule the world.
Thank you for a great explanation, I ran right out and purchased K18 and have just used it for the first time, wow, I can see a difference. I love it! I then used a stay in conditioner and the rest of my products with the air wrap and I am loving how healthy it looks. A big thank you lovely lady.
Really appreciate you for all of the research you do and delivering it so well! I just ordered the K18 and I am super excited to test it out.
Absolute favorite beauty CZcamsr! I so appreciate how in-depth and well researched all of your videos are. Thank you for this review! Dying to try the product now đ„°
I love love love this product. I have coarse wiry thick hair and I even have Keratin treatment and it really doesnât help. In using this product the first few weeks I saw nothing, I am in week three and the results are amazing. My hair feels like virgin soft hair and very smooth. It looks sleek like I have always wanted. I will definitely keep using and buy again.
This was SOOO helpful! I just purchased this at the suggestion of my stylist. Now can't wait to try it!
I just got this in my Ipsy Glam Bag X so I'm very excited to try it out. I had a little freak out moment when I read not to condition but after this video I'll trust the process (try to). Thanks for such a thorough break down!
Worked for my kinky, thick and curly hair. Loved the product, paid $15 for stylist treatment, bought product for at home use. Must use leave-in conditioner after 5 to 6 minutes. Little to no hair breakage for my colored and relaxed hair after 2 weeks. Yeah!!!
Did the 3 pumps really cover all of your hair?
I hated rice water too. Made my thin hair brittle! Thanks for this video. I always love how to give a complete review of products!
Iâve been using this for about 3 months now, and my hair is definitely soo much stronger and my ends are so healthy. I do 6 consecutive washes (I also wash once per week) after getting my hair done and then ever 3-4 washes until I get my hair done again.
My hair is also very tangly, but this actually makes my hair softer and even has a âdetanglingâ effect that after a few minutes it becomes much easier to brush through my hair, which also helps to spread the product. Then I go in with a leave in conditioner and brush again! The website mentions that it can have a detangling effect as K18 is activated, even though that effect isnât intentional. Just an added bonus! I brush from ends to top and separate my hair into lairs as if I was curling it to brush it when wet and using k18!
I just started using it and love it! I use it on my mid length to ends and let it sit a few minutes and use my wide tooth comb/pick to work it through/detangle. Then I use a small amount and work it from root to mid length. I spread out my pumps. I have fine hair and donât like adding too much of any product.
Thank you for the detailed information. I appreciate the time and effort you put into reviewing this. I used your link and was happily surprised by the sale price. It made me feel so much better about ordering. I am wondering if a lightly protein shampoo or olaplex shampoo can be used before applying this? They are what I normally use. Thanks again!
I love the K18. I was nervous too about not conditioning but my hair was sooo soft after. I did mix the K18 with Olaplex #7 and it was like magic. Hair was so silky.
K18 is truly amazing! Iâve also used olaplex too for the passed 4+ years but this K18 is boss now. Itâs more convenient to use too and truly reverses hair damage. The price is painful but itâs worth it.
Thank you for the info, I am looking into trying this. I have always used olaplex as well
I agree with the convenience of it - no one mentions that but yes, it's easy to use and only takes 4 minutes.
How long does it last you?
@@beccamartin6270 About 3 months
It's ON SALE RIGHT NOW!! 4TH OF July sale, $56!
Where is it on sale at???
@@CC-iv7uj Walmart has it for 59.99 if you trust that seller on there. You could wait until a Labor Day sale. I just bought it off of K18 website with a 10% đ promo code. Iâm supposed to be receiving it today. I swear to god if this doesnât help my hair. Imma be pissy and leave a strongly worded review
Thank you for the inspiration, I have this and haven't given it a real try, just a few time uses, been using olaplex as well, but not consistently enough!
Ok, I need that in my life now. Thanks! I haven't been able to get anyone to give me a call back at the salon I was going to and I need to find a new one. My hair is distressed but I love the length I have and $75 is a splurge for a hair product but knowing I'm going to have to probably wait to even see someone.. worth it. Your hair is so pretty
and that stuff made a huge difference on repair + we have the same freaking hair type! I love it but it's a battle to detangle fine full hair. Thanks for reviewing this, I hadn't heard of it yet.
I use both K18 and Olaplex on my hair, including the new No 8 mask. I see no reason to give up both, because I did some pandemic era self-lightening that I NEVER should have done. That means my hair needs all the help it can get. On those K18 days, my hair really loves Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture CC Cream. It really helps with the fact that I canât use regular conditioner on those days. If I were you, I would do what I did,and look for a way to purchase the 5 oz K18. I didnât bother with the smaller bottle simply because I knew it would be heaps less expensive to purchase 5 oz for around $100 USD. Because of your rave reviews, I just ordered the Redken Acidic Bonding System to integrate into my routine as well.
Which olaplex products do you use and whatâs your hair type? (this is how I want u to word the answer to the 2nd question so Iâm clear of what your hair type is - My hair is fine, high porosity and has low density.)
After watching your video I bought this product.
OMG! Love this product so much, thank you for your review. Itâs expensive but will definitely be repurchasing.
I have very long thick curly colour treated hair that is course, dry and porous. This product works.
My hair was soft, curly were bouncy, very easy to brush, not as much fall out and ends donât seem as dry.
I let my hair air dry, I use only one styling product a curl enhancer and thatâs it. I needed 3 pumps to evenly cover hair.
Already purchased again so I donât run out. Hands down game changer.
I love this product!! My most fav thing is that the results are permanent and do not wash out of the hair!!! Absolutely amazing
After watching this, I thought about it for a while and I just purchased the mini size which is $12 and itâs only 5ml. đŹđŹđŹ Not looking forward to skipping conditioners/masks, but weâll see if itâs worth it! I hope I can get at least 4 uses. Thank you for going in-depth, it helped to open my mind!
I'm glad you love it as much as I do. My hair is as tangled as yours is & it's crazy how much better that gets after using this. I tell everyone about K18! Excellent product & well worth the money (I'm frugal too)!
I am super frugal and it seems like so much for less than 2 oz. I can't wait to try it though. I guess I should probably cut my hair first so that I do not have as much hair to cover đ€ how many times does the bottle last you?
Hey Abbey! I loved the video! I bought the K18 but was waiting for your review before I tried it. What leave-in conditioner did you use during the first 6 weeks? I'm looking for a good one. Thanks :)
Great informative video as always! đ What shampoo did you opt for before the 6 treatments?
Aside from all the good info & review your hair looks so gorgeous here!!!
I just tried this yesterday and I have to say I am really impressed!
Thanks so much for this video, hoping you'll do a comparison between this and Olaplex. What deep conditioner/leave-in conditioner do you use with this product? Your hair looks amazing!
Honestly sis you just convinced me to buy this, Iâve been needing something to help transform the health of my hair. I donât know why Iâve been putting it off for so long but I trust you so I just ordered since it was on sale toođ„°đ„°
You put a lot of work into this video thank you.†I just used it for the first time and love it
This hair mask is amazing. I saw results with the first use! I have very dry curly hair. Solved in 4 minutes!! I got soft glossy ringlets! Yay!
I just finished using K18 for the 2nd time. Canât believe my hair feels like silk. Much better than Olaplex. I was worried about combing it out but used the Pureology detangler and my Kerastase oil and it worked great. Amazed!
Iâm good
So
I've been following this brand for a couple months after my dermatologist talked about it! But tbh was waiting for your video before purchasing, ever since you replied to a previous comment of mine saying this video was coming. I just ordered from your link!!
Always super excited for one of your hair care videos đ
Ordered it yd, canât wait to try ( Iâm on 4th use and itâs amaaazing, my hair looks and feel so much healthier)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience on K18. I tried k18 on your recommendation and love the results. I have completed my 6 uses and will use it again after 4 washes but how often do you need to use it after that. Is this a purchase that you need to keep using long term.
Love all your videos! Curious, how does K18 compare with Olaplex?
I really like what you added in the results section about rice water. I was considering rice water since it seemed so simple and supposedly good results, but so glad you saved me there.
thinking the same thing
I just finished using k18 6 times. My natural hair color is black and Iâve been bleaching it blonde for 6 years. My hair is extremely damaged. I will say I have less breakage. My hair is shinier and feels stronger. However, after the 6 uses the ends of my hair still feels rough and straw like. But since my hair is breaking less my hair is growing without breaking off. I think k18 is worth it but since my hair is extremely bleached and damaged I think it needs more than 6 uses!
My hair stylist used this on my hair the last time I had it bleached. My hair is naturally straight and silky soft, but after dying it goes a little lackluster for a few weeks. She used this and my hair felt the same as before it was bleached. she previously used Olaplex and it didn't feel as good as K18.
K18 said, on their website in the FAQ, that after 4 minutes you can use a conditioner if your hair, like mine is very tangled when wet.
My K18 arrives soon and I will try it as directed, and then I'll apply a leave in conditioner. If it doesn't feel great I'll go in with the conditioner. I have the 150ml on order do it has about 50 applications. It cost me ÂŁ71 so ÂŁ1.42 per use - not bad at all.
I'm a hairstylist who loves using k18 for all my chemical services. There are many times that I use a conditioner at the shampoo basin after waiting the necessary 4 minutes. The results are perfect every time!
I love your channel! And all the information you provide for every video. You are incredibly helpful - thank you!!! â€ïžâ€ïž
Can I take a moment to rant about products that call themselves ârepairingâ but actually just stop further damage?!? If I took my tv to be ârepairedâ and they gave it back and said âwe just didnât damage it any furtherâ I would be pretty peeved!
Thank you !
Preventing damage and not damaging are not the same thing. A more accurate analogy would be taking you shoes to the cobbler to put taps on the soles. Youâre not repairing them, youâre not damaging them, youâre protecting them so they donât become damaged.
I had fantastic results after the very first use. Definitely will repurchased. Right up there with my Olaplex Bonding Oil.
Did you use detangling spray after putting this mask in your hair to detangle? Love the video!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Have used this for months now and am so hooked. My hair went from see through and bleached to long, healthy and shiny. It's a true miracle and brings back my natural bounce as when I would let my hair grow out. Absolutely addicted and in love.
Wow really? This is still the case yea?
Need to know as a sister with platinum hair
Thank you again for a terrific review. So of course I had to order itđ I even decided to buy the size you got rather than the trial size. I am going to my hairdresser Monday for updated color so I thought it would be a good time. I donât think itâs cheap but after watching several videos you are supposed to use so little, I think it will last a bit. We shall see because I have long hair but looking forward to finding out. So well researched as usual!
You have such great energy âšđđŒ Thanks for aaalll of your very helpful videos đđ»đđ»đđ»
Thank you đ
Thank you so much for your hair products reviews!!! So helpful!!!
Itâs absolutely transformed my hair. Iâm obsessed with it. Iâll gladly pay that price for this miracle product.
Have you tried any of their other products? If so, which and would you recommend?
Well, I didnât want you to like K18 either with this price point, but I just went blonde for the first time in my life so Iâm glad I know about this stuff and thanks to you, Iâm confident that it works! I just used your link in the description box and itâs on sale for $56 so Iâm calling this a win. I appreciate you so much, Abbey đ„°
Uyyyu
Excellent review Abby thank you!
Hey Abbey, love your videos. Just wondering with your current state of hair have you been using Olaplex this entire time?
Yes!!!!! I purchased it from my hair stylist after my hair would not grow past a certain length. This has totally transformed my overall hair health! Love it! And thank you for confirming what a great product it is, I was waiting for this!:)
Has your hair grown?
Did it help with the hair growth? I have the same problem.
i've used K18 for well over a year. I recently did a double bleach process on my previously dyed hair. My hair is in good condition. I have shorter hair and this product is easy to use (WAY easier than Olaplex 3). After 4 minutes, I use Surface Bassu Mask which can also serve as a leave in when used sparingly and mix with a pump (I hate the droppers) of argan oil and get fabulous, soft hair that is not greasy for days. This is a more difficult process when I style my hair with my natural waves. I also use a protein spray from Sally's every few days and a leave in conditioner mixed with water in a continuous spray bottle when my locks are feeling dry.
Hi, can you tell me, is your hair now longer and with less damaged?
@@katarinadjordjevic8568 my hair was damaged after bleaching. It has been growing well, but my hair has never been prone to damage. I get trims about every 6 months. No damage, no split ends. Use once after demi color and the next week. I use a mask on after it and just leave it on to dry until the next day.
How come you think olaplex 3 is hard to use? X
@@joannab7504 shampoo, olaplex, back in the shower to shampoo again, condition, wait, then dry. K18 is so much easier to use and a little goes a long way
@@kristendarling6563 i didnt know thats what you had to do lol i was applying it for half n hour to damp hair then going in the shower to wash and conditioner it out? X
Your reviews are always great!
Too pricey for my very thick and combo mixed hair. Like you, my hair DRINKS conditioner, without it knotty, dry and frizzy. I get tired very easily with this LION'S Mane, I don't need more steps into my hair routine. Wash, condition and blow. Thank you for being honest, we appreciate you sacrificing your hair for us.đđ
Wow your hair is absolutely gorgeous!!
The tangly trick is, you just put it in let it sit and then you can untangle. Donât brush until after the 4 mins. Once the product had a chance to sit , it will loosen up all the tangles and make brushing the knots out easier.
Thanks so much for that tip. Just ordered some so fingers crossed đ€
@@PandaA-cv3mm she is right, the reason that works is because the cuticle swell from the product, which will loosen the knot.
Any dupes? Other product we could use for same purposes? TY!!!
so expensive but I totally want to try it! I'm currently trying to heal my bleach fail with Olaplex do you think this is safe to add into an Olaplex routine?
Iâm curious to know if a year later you still feel the same way about this product and if youâre still using it? Or did you find something better? Great video I just found out about this product and ordered it. Hope my results are as good as yours!
Hi! Do you think that this product is better than the whole olaplex routine? Especially number 6 7 8? Thank you for the review!
Hi Abbey, thank you for this video! I have just received my order of the Redken acidic concentrate shampoo, conditioner and treatment. Iâm so excited to try them! My hair is just like yours, long and hi-lighted so Iâm hoping Iâll see good results. With the K18, which leave in conditioner did you use alongside it please? Your results look amazing so Iâm going to have to give the K18 a try đ I love your channel đ
Yay I hope you love the redken line! I linked them in my description đ
@@AbbeyYung Oh, thank you xxx
I see on the ingredients list that this contains behentrimonium chloride ... this is a conditioning agent (a cationic surfactant) that can help with detangling. It's the only conditioner, and there may not be a lot of it, but K18 offers a little conditioning.
[You study cosmetic formulation as a hobby, you learn these things.]
I'll pass on the K18 for now ... there are so many other "repair" products I haven't tried. And my hair does need a good trim ... any recommendations for a long hair stylist near Uptown?
What is your favorite shampoo and conditioner that you use?
So I just received my K 18. Can you use any spray conditioner or styling creams gels after you wait the 4 mins? Do you need a heat protector after using the K18 before you blow dry?
I'm super excited to start using!
Ok, just used this product after freshly purchasing after watching this video. I am a natural brunette who has always colored or highlighted my hair every few years or so for the past 15 years. It wasn't until my most recent Balayage (Sept 2109) that I realized how trashed the blonde/lightened portion of my hair is. My hair has been tangling in the shower which it NEVER did, no matter how blonde covered I was. I have been trying out Olaplex products, however I don't see any difference. So....
I used a WetBrush comb in the shower to get some of my tangles out due to the "no conditioner" rule. I understand the K18 won't penetrate your hair cuticle properly otherwise. I don't understand why they say to only use a couple of pumps... if they knew how much hair I have!!! I am not sure if I should blow-dry and straighten my hair like I usually do or if I should just let it airdry.
And maybe I missed this, but how often should I be using this product? I'm wondering when I will see a difference. My damaged hair feels maybe possibly a little less "crunchy" than usual but we'll see!!
Awesome vid, Abby! I just have a QUESTION: Is it worth the $ if you have color-treated yet healthy hair, in your opinion? I got LOTS! (Med density, waist length) Iâd probably need like 5 pumps!
P.S. I LOVE learning about what the hair is made of & would love you to do a vid just on the chemistry of the hair!
Hi Abby, thanks so much for your videos! Just wondering if you think we could use Olaplex 0 then 3, Shampoo then use the K18 Masque? I have very damaged hair and could use all the help. Thanks so much
Thanks so much for the video!!! I love how informative your videos are! So did you end up using conditioner or did you just go without conditioner? Iâve got the same hair type as you đ
I'm in week 3. Everyone I speak to about it loves it. And everyone is over Olaplex. Olapkex drags your hair down. This does not.
Thanks on the tip of adding leave in conditioner after. đđ
Hiii. Can you let your hair dry naturally and does it still have the same effect? I don't like to style my hair with heat unless I have to.
Thank you so much I've been wondering so much about it and appreciate your thoughts and demonstration of K18 and making a video on it
So happy to help!
@@AbbeyYung I can honestly say that I'll be purchasing K18 and giving it a try
Love your hair color! Do u do highlights or single process?
I love your channel! You are the best! Thank you for everything!
Iâm glad you posted this video. I watched it after my 2nd application of k18 and Iâm not completely impressed. Seems like my hair feels like it does if I donât fully rinse out my conditioner. But like I said itâs only my 2nd time using it so I am going to keep going with it.
That's a good description. But I like the frizz free results and healthy looking hair. I am going to try less product and less of my styling serum or maybe just blow dry with just the k18
Thanks Abbey for a great video!! đ
Long time user of both Olaplex and now K18 (since January 2020). Olaplex is wonderful. Love it. Just doesnât last as long on my hair, itâs something that needs to be maintained. K18 is different, feels different. It truly is a game changer. I use the K18 on maintenance and the Olaplex in between. My processed, fragile, natural gray hair has never been happier.
hi i know your comment is really old but i was wondering what olaplex products do you use alongside K18? iâve been an avid olaplex user since 2020 but want to switch to K18. i figured iâd only need one or the other but iâm very curious how you utilize both of these products in your routine!
Hey Abbey! If you do a follow-up, here are my questions:
Do you/can you still use overnight oils and/or a pre-shower mask before shampooing and applying k18?
Also, does a shower cap or microfiber towel after k18 application yield better results while waiting the 4 minutes?
Should you avoid masks or leave-ins that contain protein during the 6 weeks of doing k18?
Can you use k18 alongside olaplex?
Thanks! Love your content!
We're you able to get answers to these questions because I'm curious too.
I'm curious too! @abb
Do you have a hair video where you go over all the different hair products you use and how and how often you use them? Thanks đ
What a nice surprise. I have been wondering about this product. Iâm confused though, can you never use conditioner if you use this in your weekly shampoo? Can you clarify? Thanks!
Thank you Abbey for putting together such a helpful and COMPLETE âreviewâ on a product - the fact that you did so much research and took the time to really try it out is GOLD - thank you for doing this Abbey ! You are one of the few peeps in CZcams I trust when considering to try out new things ! đ€âšđž
I watched every second of it! And I Know I'm going to watch it again as refresher!
Would love to know what leave in conditioner or treatment youâd suggest using after the k18
!! Abbey iâm confused, in another video you talk about rinsing it out and putting conditioner in. Let me know if you think itâs ok if i rinse it out :) or did you not rinse it out for the initial 6 treatments but started to rinse out when using it for maintenance?? :) let me know!
What shampoo do you use with it? Iâve heard I canât use my normal silicone shampoos like olaplex and kerastase because the silicone will stop in penetrating within the hairâŠI donât know what clarifying shampoo to get that wonât stripy my hair completely and damage it in the process.
I just received a sample of this from Sephora I'm thinking of buying a full size I like it... I have mid-length and fine hair, so I liked that it did not weigh it down. Do you still use this? I see that Walmart online sells for $55.
Hello. I get my hair colored every 2 to 3 months. I took a year to slowly go from brunette to blonde through my stylist foiling and toning. I recently had a Mocha toner to darken it up a bit for the winter. My hair has some dryness but not drastically with some hairline breaking/growth from having to wear a visor at work. I wash twice a week and alternate between Redken All Soft and Biolage Color Last, which I want to replace Biolage with Pureology Sheer Hydrate. I ordered Olaplex 0 and 3 and K-18 from advice but I'm not sure if this would be ok to do or one or the other. Also I usually let my hair air dry 99% of the time early in the evening and let it be all natural which is a bit of wave or use a flat Iron in it. So I'm not sure how K-18 would make it look with air drying it how I do. I am nervous to try new stuff too all in all.
I feel if itâs something thatâs really going to help with your hair and you have the money âŠIâd say definitely get it! I could really see a difference & your hair looks gorgeous đ€©
I'd like to thank you for your thorough review. I purchased the sample size first to try it before purchasing the more expense full size. I have shoulder length somewhat fine hair. I used it for the second time today and can tell a bit of a difference. The real test was going outside in the mid-summer Florida humidity. After stepping outside my hair is usually a total frizz ball no matter what, but not after using K18. Before I purchase the large size, I want to try Redken's Acid Bonding line. I ordered the sample size to check them out.
I noticed a huge difference I'm first after the first use.
I have a question đđŒââïž, could I use the shampoo you recommended Redken acidic bondage shampoo and follow up with the K18 leave in mask????
Abbey thank u for this.. can u give us a feed back about the revolotion plex 3? Its a much more afordable option than the olaplex wanted to know if it works
Does it feel different than olaplex I'm sure it does because you can actually shampoo and condition after olaplex 3 but overall do you think it's better than olaplex?
Your hair is beautiful!
Love this !!! Just purchased excited to try
Got my hair bleached/highlighted yesterday (not the first time) and trying to decide on products to repair any damage, or rather prevent. Thankfully it still seems in good shape and the stylist used olaplex during it. I've considered k18 but 1) have a tight budget so would only he able to buy the small size and don't know if it would be worth it and 2) have the same hair type as Abbey (long, fine, a lot of it, and very tangly no matter what, much less without conditioner). The process of using it sounds like a nightmare. I've also considered just getting an olaplex product, the kerastase blonde absolu mask, or the briogeo don't despair repair mask. So many products. I'm neurodiverse and get so overwhelmed with decision fatigue and researching what will be best! Any suggestions welcome lol
I love K18.Do you think I can use Redken Lamellar Water before K18?
