      skincare comes down to using a sunscreen, moisturizer, cleanser, and a prescription retinoid. Way more simpler than hair tbh, especially since there are actual scientific studies backing this.

    I like Olaplex but K18 has blown my mind. Whilst it hasn't made my chemically treated hair feel like virgin hair, it feels exponentially healthier than it did before. It makes my hair wash days so easy too. Your hair does actually need to be damaged to actually get something out of K18.

      I completely agree! I hate to disagree with Chris. But I used Olaplex for over a year and it’s good. But I bit the bullet and got the K18… and there is no comparison!! K18 blows Olaplex out of the water. I don’t buy Olaplex anymore. It’s truly unbelievable the results you get with K18… they didn’t like K18 bc how it felt on the hair. Tells me they used too much. Too many pumps. I have hair down to my waist and K 18 has made my hair so manageable. It use to take me up an 1hr to detangle my hair even using Olaplex. K18 and I’m like who’s hair is this. It’s insane. I use two pumps on each side of K18 for my waist long hair. Let it set for 4 mins and then I wet my hair again and use conditioner.

    • @astridh1384
      @astridh1384 Před 8 měsíci +68

      I think not using conditioner afterwards is what people don’t like about K18.
      Longs story short after seeing feedback from K18, it is actually safe to use conditioner or a mask after waiting the 4 minutes, and that makes a world of difference.
      K18 is superior for sure.

    As someone who hates wash day, K18 was a game changer for me. I no longer despise washing my hair. I'm in the shower for so much less time and my hair is so much less damaged without having to leave treatments in my hair for ages and then jump back in the shower to rinse it out. If you like low maintenance products, K18 every single time.

    I would still be getting scammed by sponsored CZcamsrs if you and Leslie didn’t make these videos. Thank you for not scaring me away from Olaplex because it has saved so much of my hair. I only had to trim my ends after using No.3 for months. dandruff is gone too now that i have my professional moroccanoil and redken dandruff shampoo. Off topic but do not doubt this man! If you have curls I recommend adding gel and heat protectant for your hair type if you diffuse. If you still need more definition I recommend the Redken Curvaceous Ringlet layered under gel and always finish with your oil after diffusing. It’s super lightweight and they have another one called Redken Curvaceous Curl Refiner found on Ulta. I personally don’t like their Full Swirl product, its a bit dryer.

    I have been using k18 for over a year and it did much more for my hair than olaplex 3 😅 but K18 has now said that AS LONG AS YOU WAIT THE 4 MINUTES for it to process, you CAN use a conditioner. So I use the k18 mask, wait the 4 minutes and then apply my deep conditioning hair mask over it, wait 10 minutes, and rinse. And it still works (per the company). I feel like your stylists probably didn’t like the feeling of it because they went without conditioner- god knows I CANT skip conditioning!!!! ♥️ but I wouldn’t swear it off- K18 truly has benefited my hair, and I used Olaplex 3 for 1 year prior.
    I am interested in trying the Redken!

      Those 2 brands are not identical AT ALL. I have tried each brand for long time and Redken is far far far better. Not even a point of comparison. Unfortunately, there aren’t that many good budget-friendly hair products, and although I think Ever Pure is one of the “best”, still does not compare to Redken, especially shampoos, heat protectant, and treatments. Ever Pure is just a water-down version of high end brands 🤷🏻‍♀️

    K18 has saved my hair from damage after it got overprocessed from multiple types of treatments (the pandemic was a problem). I had to dilute the concentrate in water in a spray bottle to get it properly distributed throughout my hair. I find that now that my hair is in pretty good shape it doesn't seem to do as much but it makes tons of difference if I use it right after getting a perm. It also doesn't work if I don't use a clarifying shampoo(neutrogena not theirs). Olaplex seems to work best when my hair is basically healthy. The redken seems to work the same as other products with that same pH range. Each of the products has a different mechanism of action (disulfide bond repair, peptide chain replacement, ionic (pH) bond strengthening) so I alternate use and get really fabulous results. But I definitely notice variability in how a product works, some weeks are great others not and I don't really know why that is.

      Same feelings here. I’ve tried all three products- olaplex for at a year, redken acidic bonding concentrate for 3 months and k18 for 5 months. K-18 was the second one I tried and gave me the best results. I went back to it after trying redken. It took me a while to figure out the best way to comb out my very wavy/semi curly hair without using conditioner first but I just go very slowly with a wide tooth comb. I’m so glad I stuck with it. I love it. Olaplex was just okay but I used it for so long because that was the only repair product I knew about back then. redken was okay as well, just not as good as k-18.

    Chris I am a groupie and your advice has helped my hair sooo much. I found K18 is the best product for my hair, after using Olaplex and Redken acidic bonders. I have coarse, curly, shoulder lengthed hair and color it every 3-4 weeks. Perhaps it’s my hair type but you need to test it and add to your repertoire. Cathy

    Hairstylist here! Thank you so much for this. I use olaplex in my salon. I carry some of their products… the 3, 6, 9, and the oil… ha… I agree with you on you throughts on their product line! 😂. I tried the k18 salon system, as a trial on MY OWN HAIR, I had been using the olaplex system in my own coloring services, and I had half of my hair break off when using the K18 color bonding system. Never again. I also just received the Redken acidic bonding treatment, and gave it to a client to try on their own hair… and they LOVE IT! Good info! Thanks so much for your work.

    Thank you for this video. I bought the redken months ago and just used it this past weekend for the first time. My hair is extremely damaged and chunks of hair rip off each time I shower or brush my hair (Im surprised I’m not bald yet). I did wash it first but now I know I can wash it after leaving it in. Which makes it easier than sitting in the shower with it. Yes I did that. I’ve been using your recommended products from your quiz as well. Just the video I needed! 👍
    I wanted to add that my hair felt SO soft after using the redken repair treatment once. I cannot believe I waited so long to use it.
    Also, I have the redken white bottle conditioner from a while ago, I’ve been using the pink bottle shampoo and conditioner but my hair never felt healthy, and while traveling I took the white bottle left over conditioner and my hair did feel much softer with than one over the volume pink bottle. With damaged hair I’d say the white bottle conditioner is better even if it doesn’t actually repair. At least that’s the case for my thin damaged hair.

The brand said you can use conditioner after, as long as you wait the 4 minutes. My hair looks absolutely incredible now! Also, their detox shampoo is very good.

    I shampoo then towel dry my hair, add 4 pumps of product to my mid length hair and comb it through. Then I put on a shower cap to keep it from getting wet. After 4 minutes I take off the shower cap, put on the Redken dark purple conditioner and comb it through. Shower cap goes back on for 5 to 10 minutes depending on what else I have left to do. Rinse my hair off, out of shower, and put a t shirt on my hair to dry it and my hair turns out gorgeous - like strangers compliment me on it.

    K18 made a massive difference for me and I was using olaplex regularly. I think k18 steers you wrong by telling you not to use a conditioner or leave in after the treatment time is up. Our hair is damaged, you still need to add moisture to your hair. No wonder people felt like k18 wasn’t working.

    • @elin_

    I've been box-dying my hair for literal decades. Because of CZcams, I finally decided to bleach my hair, to get rid of the bit of orange I have (I believe the box-dye formulation has changed over the past several years), and to unify the color-mousy brown to blonde. Admittedly, I used a box bleach and it worked fairly well - 2 boxes and I could have used a 3rd. Anyway, my hair felt a little dry so I was looking at options...wanted something before doing toner.
    I ran across the Redken and it looked good, but then I read that L'Oreal is the cheap version and they also have this product but at a much, much lower price. I have low-porosity hair that's pretty particular about what I put on it and again, it was dry and not that damaged. I used the L'Oreal product and my hair looks pretty terrific.
    Just thought I'd throw this out there for those who can't afford the higher prices of the Olaplex and Redken, at least to see if it works without a big outlay.

    K18 works so well for me. I used olaplex no 3 from the beginning and while I saw results from it, never to the extent of k18. With olaplex my hair was still very tangly, even on regular conditioner days. In olaplex wash days, the tangles after were miserable. With k18, I can forgo conditioner(special event hair since mine is baby fine and barely holds a curl) and my hair brushes out with little to no tangling. My hair has never been as healthy as it is with k18. I notice if I use it too much, then it starts to feel not as healthy. So when I get my fresh highlights, I use it after washing for the next few washes and then go back to the every 3 washes schedule.

    I had grown my hair to waist length (a bucket list thing because my mom wouldn't ever let me grow my hair) and eventually cut it off because I didn't know what to do with it. I was about 50% grey then and with menopause, my hair went wavy. Always had dense, baby fine and board straight hair with an oily scalp. When I cut it, it was so dry and damaged I couldn't manage it. Waves only about half way up. The rest sat like a wet rat as always.
    5 years later, I'm tired of cutting my own hair (I can because pixies are easy) and tired of paying a pink tax, so I'm growing my hair again.
    It's wavier than it was before! Also, about 70% silver (which I absolutely love), but I'm concerned about being able to take care of it so that it doesn't get damaged.
    On the hunt for my forever shampoo and have started taking your advice on how to wash and I'm finding I don't have to wash it every day. Still can't get 3 days, but I can get a solid 2.
    Are the products you show here good for all hair types? Even very fine but dense silver hair? Even the lightest conditioner I can find is too heavy. Bobby pins and clips won't stay put because my hair is so fine (or at least that's how it went last time). I don't use any heat or any product in my hair.
    My hair now has a ton of body. It's growing "big" before it goes long. I'm 56 years old and have NEVER had hair like I'm growing now
