The foundation of a damage-proof routine. The K18 DAMAGE SHIELD protective shampoo is a pH-balanced, biotech-powered cleanser that effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities while maintaining the hair’s natural moisture and health. Designed as the perfect daily companion to the K18 reparative routine, it creates a clean, resilient canvas for your best hair yet.
This sulphate-free formula uses plant-derived surfactants to deliver a deep, non-stripping cleanse. By keeping the hair cuticle closed during washing, it prevents colour fade and protects the hair fibre from the excess swelling that leads to damage and frizz.

The Ingredient Powerhouse:
-
K18PEPTIDE™: A patented biotech breakthrough that reinforces the hair's structural integrity, preventing protein loss during washing.

pH-Optimising Agents: Ensures the scalp environment remains balanced and the hair stays smooth and frizz-free.
Pro-Tip: Less is more with this concentrated formula. Thoroughly wet your hair before applying a small amount, focusing primarily on the scalp to break down oils. For the ultimate "shield" against environmental attackers, always follow with the K18 DAMAGE SHIELD protective conditioner.
