K18 Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo — Color-Safe Clarifying Cleanser, 8.5 fl oz, removes buildup & protects color

If your hair feels heavy from surfactants, styling products, minerals from hard water, or copper deposits, this clarifying shampoo is formulated to reset your hair and scalp without the harsh effects of traditional chelators. K18 combines activated charcoal and salicylic acid to lift impurities and excess sebum, while the patented K18PEPTIDE helps minimize protein loss and keeps color vibrancy intact. Use it as a weekly or on-demand detox to create a clean foundation for follow-up treatments.

How quickly will I see a difference after using this detox shampoo?

Visible and measurable cleaning happens after a single wash: the formula is clinically shown to remove major amounts of buildup and metals in one use. Expect hair and scalp to feel cleaner and lighter right away, with improved product absorption for any treatments you use afterward.

• Removes up to 99% of product residue after one wash
• Removes up to 95% of sebum in a single cleanse
• Removes up to 76% of copper from hair after one use
• Creates a clean surface for better mask or treatment performance

Will this clarifying shampoo strip my color or dry out my hair?

This formulation is designed to be non-stripping and color-safe. Instead of aggressive chelators, K18 Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo uses a pH-balanced lather plus the K18PEPTIDE to protect protein integrity and color molecules while removing unwanted deposits.

• pH-optimized for color preservation and gentle cleansing
• K18PEPTIDE helps reduce protein loss during cleansing
• Activated charcoal absorbs impurities without harsh dehydration
• Salicylic acid helps clear sebum at the scalp without over-drying

How do I incorporate this shampoo into my routine?

Use Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo instead of your regular shampoo when you need a deep clean—typically once a week or as needed after heavy product use or exposure to hard water. It prepares hair for more effective follow-up treatments like masks or leave-in formulas.

• Apply to wet hair and massage into scalp to lift oils and metals
• Rinse thoroughly and repeat if hair is heavily coated
• Follow with K18 mask or your preferred conditioner for best results
• Use weekly or whenever hair feels weighed down or dull

What are the key ingredients and what do they do?

The formula pairs targeted clarifying actives with peptide technology so you get a deep clean without sacrificing strength or color. Ingredients are selected to remove impurities at the scalp and shaft while leaving needed lipids intact.

• Activated charcoal — adsorbs dirt, excess oils and environmental pollutants
• Salicylic acid — helps dissolve sebum and gently exfoliate the scalp
• K18PEPTIDE — supports hair protein integrity and reduces damage during cleansing
• pH-balanced surfactants — cleanse effectively while protecting color

Who is this for: K18 Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo is intended for anyone who wants a thorough, gentle clarifying wash—people with color-treated hair, those exposed to hard or mineral-rich water, heavy product users, and anyone seeking a clean base for treatments. If your scalp feels oily, hair looks dull, or product layers won’t wash out, this shampoo resets the hair and scalp without the dryness or color fade of harsher clarifiers.
