Why we like it
The Moda Team Review
Heavy conditioning disrupts the K18PEPTIDE™ bonding environment. The Damage Shield Conditioner gives the softness and detangling the routine needs without compromising mask results — it sets up the mask rather than working against it.

Moda stylist tipApply conditioner where hair needs softness most: through the mid-lengths and ends. Fine hair can start lighter and build only if needed.
Reviews
Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaDo I rinse this out before applying K18 mask?
Yes — always rinse the conditioner fully before applying the K18 Leave-In Mask. Leaving conditioner in reduces the mask’s ability to penetrate to the inner hair structure.
Can I use my existing conditioner instead?
Yes, but heavier or silicone-rich conditioners can create a barrier that reduces K18PEPTIDE™ penetration. Damage Shield Conditioner is formulated to be compatible with the mask.
Which size should I buy?
53 ml trial, 250 ml everyday, 938 ml pro size for frequent washers.
Does it replace a repair mask?
No. Think of it as your regular protective conditioner. If your hair feels damaged, use the K18 Mask as your repair step.
Who should use this conditioner?
It is great for heat-styled, colour-treated, frizz-prone, or tangly hair that needs softness without heaviness.
