K18 Damage Shield Protective Conditioner is a lightweight yet nourishing conditioner designed to protect hair against daily damage while enhancing smoothness, softness, and shine. Powered by the patented K18PEPTIDE™, a biomimetic peptide that replenishes protein lost during washing, this formula strengthens the hair fibre, detangles without weight, and helps maintain long-term hair health.

Clinically proven to protect hair from UV rays, mechanical styling, and environmental aggressors for up to 3 days, this conditioner supports the hair’s outer lipid barrier, enhances resilience, and preserves colour vibrancy. Ideal for all hair types—especially damaged, dry, colour-treated, or frizz-prone hair.

What It Does

This conditioner is designed to combat the three major contributors to daily hair damage:

UV exposure – Sunlight weakens the cuticle, fades colour, and increases dryness.

Mechanical styling – Combing, brushing, and heat styling can create micro-tears in the cuticle.

Environmental aggressors – Pollution, humidity, and external stressors compromise the hair’s lipid barrier.

K18 Damage Shield Protective Conditioner uses advanced biotechnology to create a protective, flexible shield around the fibre—without using heavy silicones or waxes. This results in softer, smoother, stronger hair that stays protected between washes.

Key Benefits

• Conditioning protection from UV, environmental stressors, and styling for up to 3 days
  
• Helps fortify the lipid barrier, improving resistance to breakage
  
• Minimises cuticle swelling to maintain shine, colour vibrancy, and smoothness
  
• Weightlessly softens and detangles without buildup
  
• Replenishes protein lost during washing with K18PEPTIDE™
  
• Strengthens the hair’s outer structure for improved resilience
  
• Free from heavy silicones or waxes that weigh down hair

Why It Works 

The conditioner is built around three essential scientific mechanisms:

1. Biomimetic Peptide Replenishment – K18PEPTIDE™ mimics the natural structure of keratin, supporting the internal hair matrix and reducing protein loss during washing.
2. Lipid Barrier Support – A fortifying ceramide blend reinforces the hair’s protective barrier, sealing damaged areas of the cuticle and preventing moisture loss.
3. Environmental Protection Layer – A biotech polysaccharide creates an invisible, breathable shield around the hair fibre to protect against pollution, UV, and humidity.

Together, these mechanisms improve hair condition after each wash, offering both immediate cosmetic benefits and cumulative strengthening over time.
