Hair oils have long been praised for their ability to hydrate, smooth, and add shine to your hair, but K18’s Molecular Repair Hair Oil takes things a step further. Clinically proven to repair damage, reduce split ends, and protect hair from heat, it’s a multi-functional powerhouse that does it all.

So, what is the right way to apply K18's Molecular Repair Hair Oil?

One of the stand-out features of the oil is how buildable it is. Start with just a few drops, about 2-3, and rub the oil evenly between your hands and fingers. Then, apply it to the back of your hair first, working from the mid-lengths to the ends. The back of your hair tends to absorb less oil, making it the perfect place to begin for an even distribution. Once the back is covered, move to the front, applying the oil from the ends toward the scalp. Your scalp already produces oil, so focus most of the product on the mid-lengths and ends.

Tip Two: Reapplication: More Than Just A One-Time Thing

Reapplication is key. Professional stylists re-apply oil throughout the styling process to ensure even distribution and a fresh, nourished feel. Instead of loading your hair with oil all at once, start by prepping your hair with a little oil, then re-apply before using any heat tools. Because the oil is lightweight and designed to absorb fully, you don’t have to worry about residue or build-up, even on processed hair.

Tip Three: Unexpected Ways To Use Hair Oil

While K18’s Molecular Repair Hair Oil is most often used for hydrating, taming frizz, and adding shine, its versatility means it can be a game-changer in several situations. 

• Mid-Day Refresh

If your hair looks dull or needs a moisture boost, a few drops in the mid-lengths and ends will instantly revive shine and hydration. This is a great way to refresh your hair between washes without weighing it down.

• Boost Curl Definition

Hair oil is great for redefining curls on the fly. Applying a small amount as a styling product can help retrain curls, keeping them bouncy, frizz-free, and defined without the crunch.

• Before Bed

Use the oil as part of your bedtime routine. By morning, your hair will be soft, moisturised, and ready to go. Plus, there’s no residue on the pillow.

• Beach Day Protection

Heading to the beach? Apply a small amount of oil to the ends of your hair before you hit the sand or swim. The oil acts as a protective barrier against the sun and sea salt, keeping your hair hydrated and preventing damage.

• Travel Companion

 On long flights or when traveling to dry climates, you can take your hair oil along. It’s the perfect way to combat dryness and keep your hair feeling smooth and nourished while on the go!
