Happy New Year! 

Here’s hoping you had a nice Christmas and are enjoying some time off right now. I am! So in that spirit, I feel like you won’t mind if this newsletter is a bit of a highlight reel of the year of some of my favourite posts. However that’s not all! I’ve squeezed in a mini review of K18, the hair mask everyone is raving about. 


K18 Hair Mask Mini Review

This is a weird product. You smooth a tiny 1ml nickel-size amount over your hair after you shampoo (skipping the conditioner step altogether…what?) and it works magic to make your hair feel like silk. 

I mean my hair really felt like silk after I used it one time! I don’t have soft hair, at all. It’s dry, it’s frizzy, it’s wavy, it’s not soft. I’ve used Olaplex, L’Oreal Wonder Water, Dae, Oribe hair masks. I’ve tried lots of products for damaged hair but they haven’t worked nearly as well as this one does. 

However, as beautiful and soft and silk and manageable my hair was after using it once, I could never get back to that feeling with subsequent uses! It was like a one-time miracle product. The second and third time it didn’t do really very much beyond what I feel my conditioner would do. 

If you do want to try it, 1. Buy the smallest size you can (it would be great if they sold it in single-use trial sizes, sort of like VO5 Hot Oil) and 2. Read the directions carefully. No conditioner! Wait 4 minutes after applying! Only brush your hair after 4 minutes. If you must use conditioner, you can, just wait for 4 minutes. And let me know if you like it, I’m curious to hear your experiences.
