K18 Damage Shield Conditioner

I was a bit skeptical when I bought this rinse out product at a decent price, but I really don't want anything else. Because this conditioner contains no silicone, I expected that it would not make my hair easy to comb through, but this is definitely not true. I need about 3 small amounts to get my hair fully hydrated and combed. In addition, my hair stays hydrated even after rinsing, and I notice that I don't need to spray my hair as wet before styling. I also love the scent of the conditioner, it smells different than the K18 mask and even better if you ask me. It smells fresh and clean with a little bit of lemon scent through it. I find it difficult to say anything about the regenerative capacity because it seems like I don't notice much about it. However, I do find it special that this conditioner can protect your hair for up to 3 days, something I haven't found in another conditioner yet. Despite the price, I think the conditioner is really worth the money.

I'm still trying to figure out whether to rinse everything out or leave part of it in the hair (like the mask). I myself have bleached straight hair with broken pieces, so I really want to restore that. The competitor has not been able to achieve that, but I see sooooo many positive stories online. I'm now at 15 (out of 21) myself and have washed 8 times now. It's absolutely soft and I really feel it nourishes the hair too. scent is great (no strong smell that mismatches your perfume). I definitely recommend it (but in combination with the shampoo too) and I'll do another follow-up review in a week when I've done the full 21. Because they claim a real difference after 3 days but also after 21 days :-)

First time use: I have the damage shield protective conditioner and the peptide prep ph maintenance shampoo. The shampoo is very thin and spreads quickly and easily over the hair, so you don't need much. I easily massaged it onto my head. I let this sit briefly, rinsed it out and then started using the conditioner. The conditioner is a lot thicker, although it also spreads very easily over the hair, so you don't need much per wash. I had only washed the ends of my hair with this and stayed away from my scalp. The shampoo and conditioner both smell very fresh and neutral (a bit mildly rosy and I may smell a little orange/mandarin). After my hair was dried, it felt very soft and smooth, and I didn't have any tangles, even after a walk in the wind, normally my hair would be covered a long time ago. I haven't washed my hair for 3 days to check how long it would last. Normally, I would suffer from oily hair now, but I don't have one, so I believe that's because of this shampoo/conditioner. On day 4, I did have to wash my hair again with shampoo and conditioner, because then my hair was greasy again. I think that's very positive, because this way I don't have to wash my hair as often as usual, which is a lot healthier. It also proves that you can play with it for a long time, because 1 you don't need much to spread it over the hair and 2 you may need to wash your hair less often (varies, of course, for each person and hair type). 2nd time use: I really like the shampoo and conditioner. Like I said, easy to spread and smell nice and fresh (not too dominant). In my opinion, my hair feels a bit firmer than normal and maintains its softness and smoothness. The capsule that contains it is very sturdy and you have to give it strength to get something out. Despite that, I definitely recommend it! @ [~weareeves] @ [~ k18 -netherlands]
