I can be pretty cheap, but if there’s one thing I will splurge on it’s hair products. My hair is super fine and easy to break, so I’m extremely particular about who I let do my hair and what products I use on my hair. No silicones, no sulfates, etc. etc.
That being said, $75 for a Khairpep’s
K18Peptide masque seemed extreme. I willingly pay $40 for conditioner, but $75 for a 1.7 oz
hair masque? How good could it possibly be?
Well, as it turns out, pretty freaking amazing. When I agreed to test the
K18Peptide masque, I was prepared for it to be good, but definitely not the worth splurge. After the first use, though? I was in complete awe.
While practicing social distancing for the last five or so months, my hair had become so brittle and frazzled; my ends were really split and the frizz was just totally out of control. I’m not ready to go back to my hairstylist, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to see if this
masque could make things a little better until a professional could fix my hair.
When I received the
masque, I knew it was different than anything I’d ever used before. Get this: you shampoo your hair, rinse the shampoo, then gently towel dry your hair. Then you apply the
masque. Crazy, right?! I was so skeptical about not using conditioner on my super dry, curly hair, but I followed the directions nonetheless. Once I was out the shower and towel dried my hair with my masque to each section. Next, you wait. Four minutes to be exact, for the
masque to work its magic. And yes, that’s exactly what happens–magic.
As anyone with curly hair knows, you never exactly know what you’re going to get when your hair dries. Sometimes the curls will be gorgeous, sometimes not so much. And the thought of not using all the products that go into making my curly hair look halfway decent? Madness! But according to the people at Khairpep, this
masque is good enough on its own. So I took a chance and just let my hair dry without applying any other products.
After the initial four minutes it takes the
masque to completely soak into your hair, I was shook. No, really. My super fine, easy-to-tangle hair was so soft… and not tangled! And the curls were actually defined and smooth… without any leave-in conditioner or hair oil or anything. I let my hair air dry for the next few hours and I couldn’t help but to keep touching my hair. It was softer than it had been in months. And my curls looked full and bouncy and totally revitalized. It was about five hours after I first used the
K18Peptide masque when I realized that I was hooked; I was totally going to be spending $75 for another bottle.
What makes Khairpep’s
K18Peptide masque so effective is the science. I am not a scientist, so I won’t even begin to try to explain it myself, but here’s how the experts explain it:
K18 utilizes a breakthrough patented oligopeptide (K18PeptideTM) which shuttles amino acids (the building blocks of hair) into the inner structure of the hair. Once inside the hair cortex, the unique amino-acid chain goes directly to the broken disulfide bonds to replace the lost amino acids, regenerating the bond permanently and restoring ultimate strength, resilience and softness.
So basically, instead of sitting on top of your hair like most readily accessible conditioners and hair masques do, Khairpep’s
K18Peptide masque actually goes inside your hair strands to restore and repair. And I can tell you from firsthand experience, it really works. It’s unlike any hair product I’ve ever used and working in this industry, I’ve use a lot of hair products.
I know $75 can be hard to swallow for a hair product. I’m a regular person; I’m a single mom; I have bills. But I have to tell you, this
hair masque works. It made my finicky, frazzled hair look and feel so good after just one use and now it has to be part of my hair care routine.
If it makes the splurge any easier, you actually don’t have to use this
masque all that often for it to be effective. In the beginning, you’re supposed to use it for the first 4-6 washes and then you only need to use it every 3-4 washes to maintain the results. And depending on your hair type, you really don’t use that much each time. I have coarse, dry hair, so I use the maximum recommended amount and my first bottle will last me 3-4 washes.
As you can see, I’ve been going on and on about this
masque. That’s because I am so genuinely impressed with the results. If you do wind up splurging on one for yourself , come back and let me know how you like it in the comments!
