K18 Molecular Hair Repair: A Service That Delivers Results and Repeat Customers

S J — Sat, 28 Jan 2023 00:37:18 +0000

Introduction to K18 Molecular Hair Repair

As a salon owner or independent stylist, you strive to offer top services. K18 Molecular Hair Repair, leveraging advanced K18 PEPTIDE technology, delivers exceptional hair strengthening and repair, ensuring client satisfaction and repeat business.

TAP TO BROWSE K18 LINEUP

The Science of K18 Molecular Hair Repair

PEPTIDE PREP creates a clean base for healthy hair. K18 PEPTIDE specifically targets and reverses damage from bleach, color, chemicals, and heat, reconnecting polypeptide chains and disulfide bonds within each hair strand.

How K18 Double Dose Treatment Repairs and Strengthens Hair

A. HAIR PREPARATION

K18 Double Dose Treatment includes preparing the hair with K18 Peptide Prep Pro Chelating Hair Complex and K18 Detox Shampoo.

K18 Pro Chelating Complex: Resets hair for optimal K18 in-salon treatment service, chemical + color services, revives color vibrancy and restores smoothness and bounce in just 4 minutes. No mix formula. No extra rinse required.

K18 Detox Shampoo: Safely cleanses away chelating complex, plus Removes 99% of product buildup, 95% of sebum + reduces 76% of copper after one wash. K18PEPTIDE reduces protein loss to keep hair feeling soft, strong, healthy + clean.

B. K18 MOLECULAR HAIR REPAIR DOUBLE DOSE TREATMENT

K18 Professional Hair Repair Mist: This Peptide-powered lightweight mist strengthens hair’s defense against damaging chemical services. It starts the Double Dose in-salon Treatment with a pH level of 7.5-8.0 that shifts the cuticle layer open to penetrate the hair’s cortex and deliver the K18PEPTIDE to damage sites on the molecular level—without weighing hair down.

K18 Professional Hair Repair Mask: This Peptide-powered leave-in treatment repairs damage from bleach + color, chemical services, and heat in just 4 minutes. It finishes the Double Dose in-salon Treatment with a pH level of 5.0–6.0 helps close down the cuticle to seal in the K18PEPTIDE for renewed strength + elasticity where it matters.

Distinguishing K18 from Traditional Treatments

K18 stands apart from conventional protein treatments. Its biomimetic peptide naturally rebuilds bonds broken by chemical, color, and heat damage. Unlike temporary solutions, K18 progressively renews hair’s keratin structure and reinforces disulfide bonds.

Financial Benefits of K18 Molecular Hair Repair Treatments

Adding K18 to your service menu can significantly increase salon profitability. With cost-effective applications, K18 not only enhances client hair health but also boosts your salon’s revenue potential.
Salon cost per double dose application is approximately $7.00. One backbar Intro can increase salon profits between $725 – $1475. This doesn’t include profit from K18 Mask retail sales.

By combining ammonia-free, an allergen-free fragrance, and a plethora of ‘squeaky’ clean vegan plant-based ingredients, both clients and stylists enjoy reduced scalp/skin sensitivity and irritation. Importantly, harmful chemicals like silicones, sulfates, parabens, and mineral oils are all out. In their place are organic avocado oil, organic yellow chamomile, and plant-derived glycerin. The result? A vegan and cruelty-free solution that respects both hair health and the environment.

Hue Verse Permanent and Demi-Permanent Options

Choose from a full spectrum of 85 cream-based ammonia-free shades for complete coverage, controlled lightening, and long-lasting results. Alternatively, opt for 48 zero-lift, liquid shades in the demi-permanent gloss range, offering vibrant, even, tone-on-tone results and exceptional shine.

Tips for Choosing the Right Hair Brush

S J — Wed, 29 Nov 2017 17:18:41 +0000

You know which products work best for your clients. You’re their hair expert. It’s up to you to make their hair look its best. But as you well know, in order to do your best work, you need the best tools. The tools a stylist uses can make all the difference in the look and feel of your client’s hair. A tool that we’re talking about today is the hair brush.

Hair brushes are a dime a dozen at your local CVS or Shopper’s. But for a stylist, the right brush can really help manage a client’s hair properly. If you’re in the process of choosing a new brush to add to your arsenal, here are some helpful tips to follow.

Boar Vs Synthetic Bristle Brushes

When searching for your next brush, put some thought into whether you want to use boar bristles or synthetic bristles. The kind of bristle you use is important. The synthetic bristled brushes tend to work best in thick hair. They do not create as much static in the hair as a natural bristle brush. A classic synthetic brush is the Denman from Dannyco.

Natural bristles tend to be easier on hair than nylon or plastic brushes. Boar bristles fall into this category. This kind of bristle will re-distribute oils throughout the hair which naturally boost its shine. Your client won’t have to worry about dry scalp when you use a boar bristle brush, that’s for sure! Evo has a wonderful selection of boar bristle brushes.

To get the perfect combo of a boar bristle’s shiney hair benefits plus a synthetic’s detangling powers, go for a mixed bristle brush. These are very popular with stylist because they’re so good at doing everything and work well on everyone’s hair.

Hair Texture

The hair texture of your clients can vary greatly. Usually, there will be a few that will have similar hair textures though, and with the right brush you can cater to their needs.

If you are dealing with a fine haired client, having a naturally bristled brush will work a lot better since it won’t tear the hair. For thicker hair, synthetic bristles work wonders.

Types of Brush

You’re likely creating a lot of different hairstyles during the day. If you want to be truly prepared for what your client wants done to their hair, you’ll need to use a few different brushes.

Paddle

The paddle brush is perfect for smoothing hair. Whether the hair is curly, thick, straight, or just susceptible to frizz and static, the paddle brush is your best friend. The Conrad by EVO is an excellent paddle brush, and so is the Cushion brush from Dannyco.

Round

Do you have clients that have wavy and bouncy hair? If so, you already know the benefits of a round brush. With tightly packed bristles, this brush can really grip the hair and hold it in place as it dries. With sizes ranging from small to extra large, you’ll definitely have the right length of brush for your client. EVO’s Spike 28 is a great examples of a mixed bristle round brush. Round brushes can also come with a metal interior so they can double as a hot roller like Dannyco’s BaBylisspro Ceramic – a top seller!

Vented

Vented brushes help speed up drying time by allowing heat from the blowdryer to reach hair strands from all angles. The reduction in drying time actually helps reduce mechanical damage to the hair. Stylists will often use a vent brush for the first 80% of drying time then a denman or round brush to ‘set’ the look in the last 20% of drying time.

Detangling

Tangles are a nightmare, and their something you see nearly every day. Having a detangling brush at the ready can help keep your client’s hair looking fresh and knot-free. With a large plastic detangling comb from Dannyco or even a Roy wooden Detangling Comb from EVO in your toolkit, you won’t have to worry about tangled hair again.

Mix & Match

It’s always best to be prepared for any situation in your salon. You may have an idea of what your client will like, but who knows how things could look when they actually arrive? That’s why it’s a good idea to have a complete set of brushes at the ready for whoever sits come to your chair. Mixing and matching will help you tame anyone’s hair without too much hassle at all.

The Right Brushes Make a Difference

For that edge your clients are looking for, definitely invest in some quality brushes. Having a great set of hair brushes from Dannyco and EVO will make you totally unstoppable at your salon.
