What the gurus are saying

The gurus who tested it found the conditioner delivers real hydration and softness, especially for dry or color-treated hair, and works across different hair textures without weighing strands down. It contains sweet almond oil, jojoba seed oil, ceramides, vitamin E, and K18's peptide blend. Those with fine hair may want to follow the directions closely and use sparingly to avoid any heaviness, though the experts who tried it found it left their hair clean and bouncy rather than limp.

"The K18 Damage Shield Protective Conditioner is really wonderful if you have dry dry hair or treat it with colors and things like that. This does a really nice job of hydrating it and if you follow directions to a tea it's great and you don't have to use much. I used it in my hair after my shower last night and it feels nice and soft."

"This conditioner will protect against UV damage, pollution, and heat styling tools while helping soften, detangle, and enhance shine. It's great for all hair textures and hair types. It has sweet almond oil, jojoba seed oil, ceramide, vitamin E, and the peptides that K18 is known for. I've had such a great experience with K18 because their shampoos and hair mask work really well on my fine hair. My hair is never limp, it's not lifeless, it's not weighted down. My hair always feels and looks clean and I have that bounce and shine to my hair as well, so I'm definitely going to pick this up."
