4. Maintenance and Storage
Store the K18 Leave-In Molecular Hair Mask in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to maintain product integrity.

5. Troubleshooting
- Hair feels heavy or greasy: Ensure you are using the correct amount of product for your hair type and length. A little goes a long way. Avoid over-application.
- No noticeable improvement: Ensure you are applying the product to clean, towel-dried hair and waiting the full 4 minutes before applying other products or styling. Do not use conditioner before the mask. Consistent use as directed is key for molecular repair.
- Product not dispensing: Check the pump mechanism for any blockages. If the bottle is new, prime the pump by pressing it several times until product appears.
