Olaplex really is as good as everyone says, and this mask is my favorite from the brand.

Basically, hair accepts this artificial repair as natural, and damage is improved.
That means that hair is not only treated but it’s also repaired with the use of this mask.
After using this K18 mask for two wash days, my hair shows no signs of heat damage whatsoever.
K18 was created after 10 years of research and testing, and it shows.
Im amazed and dont think it will be long before K18 is a haircare staple.”
