We've all been there. That dreadful moment when your mirror reflection reveals hair that looks utterly... exhausted. Perhaps it's from that pricey balayage, your loyal straighteners working overtime, or the daily tussle with Brighton's persistent sea breeze. Dealing with dry, brittle hair feels like trying to win the lottery with yesterday's ticket. But what if I told you there's a way to reset your hair to its former glory in mere minutes?
As a hair stylist who practically lives in the salon (my kitchen's gathering dust), I've been hunting for that one miraculous product to transform my clients from "just nipped to Sainsbury's" to "strutting down Oxford Street." If only I could find something that styles my hair while I'm brewing my morning tea, then I might have time to sit down! I'm known for rolling my eyes at claims that "miracle" products with the same suspicion as a cat with a cucumber—until, that is, I discovered K18.
It's not smoke and mirrors; it's science. Enter the K18 Leave-In Hair Mask, a revolutionary treatment streamlining colour appointments at Dawson Hair & Imaging whilst transforming hair from an unruly mane into a sleek masterpiece.

The show's star is the K18 Leave-in Molecular Repair Hair Mask, which features the illustrious K18Peptide™. This isn't just your average hair mask; it's like sending your hair on a luxurious spa retreat while you binge-watch another series on Netflix. So, if your strands feel a little worse for wear, K18 might be the rescue they didn't know they needed.

FAQ's
What makes K18 special?
The unique K18Peptide™ works deep within, reconnecting broken keratin chains and rebuilding bonds for healthier hair.
Is the K18 mask a bond builder?
Nope. Instead of temporarily restoring just one type of bond, K18's biomimetic peptide mimics the molecular makeup of keratin to reinforce strength along the length AND width of the hair fibre. Bond builders walked so we could run, ya know?
What is the DAMAGE SHIELD pH protective shampoo?
The DAMAGE SHIELD pH protective shampoo is a colour-safe, pH-optimised shampoo with the patented K18PEPTIDE™, effectively cleansing while maintaining hair health and protecting hair from damage. Ph-optimised formula helps reduce excess swelling of the hair cuticle during washing, helping prevent frizz, preserve colour, and enhance shine—scalp microbiome-friendly and gentle enough to use every time you cleanse.
When do I use the DAMAGE SHIELD pH protective shampoo?
This pH-balanced formula is gentle enough to use every time you cleanse, delivering healthier hair and scalp after just one wash.
How does the K18 treatment work?
This clever mask works in just 4 minutes, repairing damage at the molecular level for stronger, silkier hair.
How many K18 masks do I use?
Less is more —don't overdo your K18 mask application. This highly concentrated formula was made to use far less than you would with a traditional hair mask or conditioner. Start with 1 ml (1 pump of the 50ml mask, three pumps of the 15ml mask) and massage the product between your palms until it thickens. Add more as needed; the maximum recommendation is 3ml (3 pumps of the 50ml mask, nine pumps of the 15ml mask).
What does the DAMAGE SHIELD pH protective shampoo do?
This pH-optimised shampoo (4.5-5.5) helps prevent excessive swelling of the hair cuticle, reducing damage and frizz while preserving colour and maintaining health and shine. An optimised pH also helps preserve the scalp microbiome. This shampoo is gentle enough to use every time you cleanse.
What's included in the salon service?
A complete protocol featuring detox shampoo, chelator spray, prep mist, and the K18 hair mask.
If the K18 mask doesn't rinse out, why do I have to keep using it?
We recommend you keep using the K18 mask because damage is ongoing, so your repair should be ongoing too. Our molecular repair technology delivers progressive results that rebuild hair strength with each use. That's why we say use the K18 mask for 4-6 washes, so your healthy hair results improve with continued use.
When should I expect to see results?
Most see results after 2-3 uses. The more damaged the hair, the more dramatic the results, so that it may vary depending on your hair type and level of damage.
Can I apply styling products or conditioner before the mask's 4-minute wait time is up?
Nope, we like to leave a clear path for the K18PEPTIDE™ to penetrate without disruption from other products. After 4 minutes, you're free to do whatever you'd like to your hair.
