K18 Molecular Hair Repair in Sheffield | Wigs & Warpaint
K18 Molecular Repair at Wigs & Warpaint
At Wigs & Warpaint, we only introduce products that genuinely move the industry forward. After extensive research, in-salon testing and professional education, we’re proud to offer K18 Molecular Repair — the next generation of hair repair technology.
K18 works differently to traditional bond builders. Instead of coating the hair or temporarily masking damage, it repairs hair from the inside out, reconnecting the internal structure that gives hair its strength, elasticity and resilience.
What is K18 Molecular Repair?
K18 is a biology-first hair repair system that works at a molecular level. It targets the internal polypeptide chains inside the hair fibre — not just surface bonds.
In real terms, this means stronger, healthier hair with improved elasticity, less breakage during colour and blonding, repair that doesn’t wash away, and visible results in just 4 minutes.
Why We Chose K18
Hair repair has evolved. Older systems focus on one small part of the hair structure and often require multiple steps and heavy layering of products.
K18 allows us to use fewer products with better results, reduce overall chemical load during services, protect hair before, during and after colour, and deliver cleaner blondes and stronger transformations. It supports long-term hair health rather than short-term fixes.
The future of hair care!

K18 Hair Repair – FAQs
What is K18?
K18 is a molecular hair repair treatment that works inside the hair fibre, reconnecting the internal structure that gives hair its strength and elasticity.
How is K18 different to Olaplex or other bond builders?
Traditional bond builders focus mainly on disulfide bonds. K18 works deeper, repairing the entire polypeptide chain structure of the hair with fewer steps and fewer products.
Will I feel the results straight away?
Yes. Hair feels stronger, softer and healthier immediately, and the repair continues over time rather than washing away.
Does K18 coat the hair?
No. K18 does not coat or mask damage. It repairs hair internally without heavy residue or build-up.
Is K18 safe for coloured or bleached hair?
Yes. K18 is ideal for coloured, bleached or chemically treated hair and can actually protect hair during colour services.
Is K18 suitable for sensitive scalps?
K18 uses a simplified, biology-first approach with fewer ingredients and less chemical layering, making it a good option for more sensitive clients.
How long does a K18 treatment take?
The core repair works in just 4 minutes and can be added easily to existing services.
Can I use K18 at home as well?
Yes. We also stock K18 homecare products to maintain results between salon visits.
