We have started testing K18 on Asian and Indian hair lately, here is to share our test result and compare it to Olaplex No.3 treatment. Hi Everyone, this is Luka here from Melbourne hair salon, our salon is specialist in colouring Asian and Indian hair. We've been getting lots of questions about K18 lately, so here I'm answering some of your questions.

Is for someone who is already quite happy with their hair colour, just wanting to refresh their colour. Or for someone who wants to go lighter, more Ashy, or your Bayalage needs a whole new make over.

If you are still not sure what you want with your hair and want to know more about price or what other colour option suit you the best, please sent us a few images of what you like and a selfie of your current hair, so we can advice you what to do, send those images to our number: 0452618828, and a short description of what you want to do, we will reply you.

For the past 5-6 weeks we've been testing out this new product from L'Oreal called #SmartBond. We'll be honest we were skeptical, thinking this was an Olaplex wannabe. How could it compete? We have used it on all hair types from Asian to Indian and everything in between. One word. WOW! Everyone here agrees that, in our opinion, #SmartBond works a lot better than Olaplex on Asian hair.

Just want to share some experience about using Olaplex no.6, so far we love it, it smells great because of ingredients like Abyssinian Oil, derived from the Crambe Abyssinica Seed, that help with colour retention and protection against the damage caused by heat styling tools.

Here are some tips when you use them, try to use it on freshly washed and give a good towel dry(60-70% dry) but still a little damp, because you will find by doing that you will get a better distribution thought your hair evenly, after we tested on all different types of hairs, like thick/thin hair, coarse dry hair and damaged fine hair, Asian/Indian hair as well as blonde Caucasian's hair, I would say it works really well across the board, but when using on fine Caucasian hair, please use less amount, recommend try 10cent piece size, make sure you really warm it up in your hand if you using on dry hair before you apply.
