After just one use, my hair and scalp felt truly clean — all the product buildup, oils, and that dull, weighed-down feeling from hard water and styling products were gone. Yet my hair still felt soft, smooth, and healthy, not stripped or squeaky-dry. The lather is rich and satisfying, rinses clean easily, and the scent is fresh and clean without being overpowering. My color stayed vibrant (huge plus for me as a color-treated hair person), and my strands looked shinier and bouncier once dry. It creates the perfect clean canvas — my K18 mask and other treatments seem to work even better afterward. I use it once a week (or whenever my hair starts looking flat or product-heavy) and it’s become a non-negotiable in my routine. Expensive? Yes. Worth every penny? Absolutely. If you want a clarifying shampoo that actually detoxes without wrecking your hair, this is it. Highly recommend — already planning to reorder! Review: Solved All My Hair Problems - I am 71 years old with thin, baby-fine hair. I’ve always had a problem with every product designed for volume weighing my hair down. I tried K-18 on a whim and it is exactly what I’ve been looking for! My hair feels soft, is shiny, looks bouncy and hydrated and best of all, not greasy! I bought the whole line and I love it all. It’s expensive, but you only use a tiny bit. An added bonus, I see very little hair in my brush or shower and lots of baby hair growing in. The picture is just after I washed it with K18 shampoo, no conditioner, and 1 pump of the K18 leave-in mask. I imagine it would work as well for any hair type, but it is a real game changer for fine, thin hair. ## Features - Deep Detox + Scalp Reset: A clarifying shampoo designed to work as a hair and scalp build up remover for dirt, oils, metals from hard and tap water, and heavy product buildup. Creates a clean canvas for optimal results from the K18 mask. - Intentional Active Ingredients: The skincare-inspired formulation of this activated charcoal and salicylic acid shampoo helps absorb impurities and clear sebum buildup at the scalp without stripping essential moisture or lipids. - Clinically-Proven Clarifying: This deep cleansing shampoo helps remove 99% of product buildup*, 95% sebum* + 76% copper* after one wash for a visibly refreshed and clean feel. - Color-Safe Peptide Formula: Unlike harsh chelating or hard water shampoos, our patented K18PEPTIDE helps reduce protein loss to help keep hair feeling healthy and strong, while the pH-optimized lather protects your color. - How to Use: Use this hair detox in place of your regular shampoo 1x weekly or as needed. Massage into hair + scalp to remove excess buildup. Thoroughly rinse. Repeat as needed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B4DXHCRR | | Active Ingredients | Salicylic Acid, salicylic_acid | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,668 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #104 in Hair Shampoo | | Brand | K18 | | Brand Name | K18 | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,582 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00858511001166 | | Hair Type | chemically-treated-hair | | Item Dimensions | 2.5 x 2.5 x 5.5 inches | | Item Form | Gel | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Liquid Volume | 8.5 fluid ounces | | Manufacturer | K18 Hair | | Manufacturer Part Number | K18-40035 | | Material Type Free | Formaldehyde Donor Free | | Model Number | K18-40035 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Dermatologist Tested | | Product Benefits | Our K18PEPTIDE™ repairs hair at a molecular level across multiple types of bonds, restoring hair health for all | | Scent | Floral | | Scent Name | Floral | | Suitable Hair Color | Black | | UPC | 858511001166 | | Unit Count | 8.5 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** K18 - **Hair Type:** chemically-treated-hair - **Item Form:** Gel - **Scent:** Floral ## Images ![Peptide Prep™ Detox Shampoo - Color Safe Clarifying Shampoo for Build Up Removal - Gently Removes Dirt, Oil + Metals from Hard Water with Activated Charcoal + Salicylic Acid - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Mll7SSlBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: When do I use the Detox Shampoo?** A: Swap out your regular shampoo for this power wash 1x weekly or as needed.
