K18

If we look at the process of K18, we can compare it to the repair of many twisted ladders that form the keratin chains. These ladders are held together by disulfide bridges and are present in the cortex, medulla and scales of the hair.

When a ladder becomes damaged, not only does an individual rung break, but the entire ladder can break along with the rungs and all connections between the ladders, which are electrostatically linked together.

Most hair products focus on creating a temporary bridge between the rungs of a ladder, without any mechanism to support the sides of the ladder (broken keratin chains). This leads to weak and lifeless hair.

After ten years of research examining 1,242 human keratin proteins, K18 has patented the first peptide that is most effective at connecting the broken keratin chains. This means that K18 is able to permanently restore hair in just four minutes!

Any chemical process can damage the keratin chains that hold hair together and make it strong. K18 is the first product in history that permanently connects the broken keratin chains. Our peptide penetrates into the cortex and repairs the sulfur bridges on the sides of the ladder, reconnecting the broken keratin chains. The hair is repaired and restored to a nearly undamaged state of strength and elasticity.
