your wash care questions, answered
What makes the DAMAGE SHIELD pH protective shampoo special?

The DAMAGE SHIELD pH protective shampoo delivers healthier hair and scalp after just one wash. Its optimized pH helps maintain the hair cuticle, preventing excess water from entering the hair, which can cause damage, dullness, frizz, and tangling. With this shampoo, your color is maintained, hair feels strong, healthy, looks smooth with less frizz, and is easier to style with less tangles. This formula moisturizes hair without weighing it down, and preserves the scalp microbiome for a healthier-feeling scalp and a gentler cleanse. Coupled with the DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner, these formulas shield your healthiest hair from daily damage.

Can I use the conditioner instead of the mask? 

The mask and conditioner serve two different purposes. The K18 mask reverses damage in 4 minutes, while the K18 conditioner protects hair from daily damage for up to 3 days*. We recommend using the K18 mask first, waiting 4 minutes, then using conditioner for additional softening and detangling benefits between K18 mask days.

*Disclaimers

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.

Will the K18 conditioner weigh hair down?

No, the K18 conditioner will not weigh hair down. This highly concentrated, lightweight gel formula softens, smooths, and detangles without film-forming silicones or waxes that can build up over time.

smooth + shield all hair types

pH-optimized formula prevents frizz, dullness + tangles for everyone.

    Great shampoo and conditioner for damaged hair!

    I’m really happy with the Damage Shield Shampoo and Conditioner. They leave my hair feeling soft, smooth, and much easier to manage. My hair looks healthier, has a nice shine, and feels less dry after washing. I especially love how they help with frizz and make my hair feel nourished without weighing it down.
