Branded Hair Flip Challenges

The #K18HairFlip TikTok Challenge Celebrates a Fast-Acting Product

#K18HairFlip is the new song from K18, the creator of a viral hair mask that delivers results in a matter of minutes. With its TikTok Hashtag Challenge, the brand is reminding consumers that its Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask is now widely available for purchase through Sephora.

By participating in the #K18HairFlip challenge, TikTok users have the chance to win K18 salon service and a $1,000 shopping spree to Sephora. To take part in the challenge, the TikTok community is invited to create a TikTok using the new song and tag their video with the challenge hashtag. The brand notes, "With TikTok being an audio-first platform, we wanted to communicate our brand message and create something fun! Our collaboration with Song Candy allowed us to integrate K18 to users of the platform in an engaging and authentic way.”
