K18 Biomimetic Hairscience PEPTIDE PREP Clarifying Detox Shampoo – A Fresh Start for Your Hair and Scalp
When your hair feels heavy, dull, or coated in product, it’s time for a clean reset—without stripping it bare. Meet the K18 PEPTIDE PREP Clarifying Detox Shampoo, a high-performance formula designed to remove stubborn buildup, excess oil, metals, and toxins—while respecting your hair and scalp’s natural balance.
Powered by biomimetic hair science and advanced cleansing technology, this gentle yet effective detox shampoo primes hair for repair and styling by clearing the way for treatments to penetrate better and work harder. It’s the essential first step in any haircare routine built on real results.
Why You’ll Love It:
Traditional clarifying shampoos often leave your hair feeling rough, stripped, or squeaky-clean in the worst way. But K18’s Detox Shampoo takes a smarter approach: it removes what your hair doesn’t need—like product residue, hard water minerals, and excess sebum—while maintaining hydration and hair integrity.
It’s a deeply refreshing clean that feels balanced, not harsh. Think of it as a reset button for your hair—perfect before repair treatments, color, or just when your hair feels weighed down.
Key Benefits:
-
Removes 99% of product buildup and 95% of sebum in just one wash
- Eliminates up to 76% of copper from the hair, reducing discoloration and damage risk
-
Non-stripping, color-safe formula with a balanced pH
- Creates a clean canvas for treatments like K18 Mask or color services
- Ideal weekly or bi-weekly refresh for all hair types and textures
- Gentle enough for sensitive scalps
Science-Backed Detox with a Biomimetic Edge:
What sets this detox shampoo apart is its fusion of dermatologist-grade cleansing science with biomimetic haircare innovation. K18’s detox formula uses optimized active cleansers, including activated charcoal and salicylic acid, to break down buildup without disrupting the hair’s lipid layer or microbiome.
-
Activated Charcoal: Absorbs impurities, odors, and toxins from the scalp and strands.
-
Salicylic Acid: A gentle exfoliant that dissolves excess oil and promotes a healthier scalp environment.
-
Microdosed Surfactants: Ultra-effective cleansing agents that don’t strip or dry the hair.
This ensures your hair feels refreshed, light, and clean—without the frizz, tightness, or brittleness that harsh clarifiers can cause.
How to Use:
- Apply to wet hair, focusing on the roots and scalp.
- Massage thoroughly to activate the lather.
- Rinse well.
- Follow with conditioner or the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask for optimal results.
💡 Pro Tip: Use once a week—or before applying the K18 Mask—to maximize absorption and performance of any treatment or color.
