K18 HeatBounce is a weightless conditioning heat protectant powered by patented ResiliCore technology inspired by proteins found in nature that are resilient and capable of withstanding extreme temperatures. Unlike traditional heat protectants that sit on the surface, this haircare innovation reaches heat damage where it happens—the cortex—and offers protection up to 450°F and reduces breakage by 85% after blowdrying.
Uniquely, HeatBounce has a high-performance leave-in formula that goes from a lightweight cream to a fine mist that shields hair against not just heat but also mechanical damage and UV environmental damage, which can manifest as everything from faded color and dullness to dryness and breakage.
According to the brand, HeatBounce is K18's biggest innovation since the launch of the game-changing, category-disrupting K18PEPTIDE in the Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask.
