Gentle Clarifying Shampoo with K18PEPTIDE, Charcoal and Salicylic Acid
K18 Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo is a gentle clarifying wash that removes product buildup, excess sebum and metals from tap and hard water while keeping the cuticle intact. Charcoal Powder and Salicylic Acid handle the cleanse, the patented K18PEPTIDE (sh-Oligopeptide-78) helps maintain hair strength during the wash, and the formula is pH-optimised at 3.8–4.2 so it stays color-safe and non-stripping.
Why Choose It?
- Charcoal Powder absorbs excess oils, dirt and product residue from hair and scalp
- Salicylic Acid clears sebum buildup around the follicle without stripping the cuticle
- Patented K18PEPTIDE (sh-Oligopeptide-78) helps maintain hair strength during the cleanse
- Sodium Phytate chelates metals from tap and hard water that can dull colour
- pH-optimised at 3.8–4.2 with Panthenol and Glycerin — color-safe and non-stripping
Best For
All hair types — particularly hair with heavy product, styling or sebum buildup, swimmers and anyone washing in hard water. The pH-optimised, non-stripping formula is suitable for colour-treated hair used in a weekly detox slot rather than as a daily shampoo.
Use weekly in place of your regular shampoo to reset the hair before deeper bond repair with a K18 peptide repair mask.
- Wet hair thoroughly with warm water.
- Apply a generous amount of shampoo to the scalp and lengths.
- Massage into the scalp using circular motions to lift oils and product residue.
- Work through the mid-lengths and ends, then rinse thoroughly.
- Repeat the application if hair feels especially weighed down or coated.
Tips
- Use once a week or as needed — this is a clarifying reset, not a daily shampoo.
- Follow with a peptide repair step such as the K18 Molecular Repair Hair Oil on damp lengths once the detox wash is done.
- Pair with the detox shampoo before colour, gloss or bond treatments so the active step works on a clean cuticle.
