K18 DAMAGE SHIELD™ Protective Conditioner

A nourishing, protective conditioner that helps shield hair from daily damage to help maintain hair health and improve smoothness and shine. Engineered to weightlessly soften and detangle while the K18PEPTIDE™ helps replenish hair during washing.

Defends against damage:
Conditioning protection against damage from UV rays, environmental aggressors, and daily mechanical styling for up to 3 days.

Maintains hair health:
Fortifies hair’s exterior lipid barriers to make hair more resilient and resistant to damage. K18PEPTIDE™ replenishes protein lost during washing.

Enhances hair’s natural shine:
pH-optimized formula minimizes excess cuticle swelling during washing to help keep hair smooth and maximize shine.

Softens, smooths, and detangles:
Without film-forming silicones or waxes that can build up over time and weigh hair down.

MORE TO KNOW:
Biotech-Produced Polysaccharide acts as a biomimetic shield to protect hair against pollution and environmental aggressors.

Fortifying Ceramide Blend seals damage sites in the hair cuticle—smoothing and protecting hair from further damage.

And one which we curlies will love to know about:
K18PEPTIDE™ replenishes protein lost during washing!

HOW TO USE
Apply a small amount of DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner from mid-lengths to ends and build as needed. Rinse thoroughly. For best results, use after shampooing with K18 DAMAGE SHIELD pH Protective Shampoo.

DONNA'S NOTES ON USE
I concur! I have been very happy with the duo of this shampoo and conditioner duo! Lightweight, pleasant to use, and a confident, bouncy, clean result for when you wish to use a lathering shampooing option! This was also used and recommended in the the CADO ACADEMY class with Reema Jaber, founder and creator of the Cado Cut.

WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE THIS K18 PRODUCT?
If you have are wanting an 'everyday' shampoo which lathers, and tend to be a frequent hair washer (eg; every 1-2 days), the K18 DAMAGE SHIELD™ pH Protective Shampoo and Conditioner pair will be your best and most gentle cleansing option followed by a lovely lightweight conditioner.

IS THIS CLEANSER CURLY GIRL METHOD COMPATIBLE?
No, this cleanser lathers. Though it is sulphate-free, it does lather.
If you are following The Curly Girl Method as written by Lorraine Massey (author of 'Curly Girl: The Handbook'), the method does not incorporate lathering cleansers at ANY stage. (For our non-lathering cleansers, please see the other cleansers that we have available). However, if you are following the Cut It Kinky protocol for tight curls, or enjoy the use of a lathering shampoo this is a suitable product for use on all textures.
