Thinning mane, density at half mast, first white hairs… Time also leaves its mark on our hair. However, when it comes to fighting the signs of aging, we think first of our skin. Serums, creams, preventative care: our face benefits from all the attention, while our mane often takes second place. And while we happily pull out masks and restorative treatments to pamper our lengths, we often forget the essential: it all starts at the roots. It is in fact at the heart of the hair follicles that the growth and pigmentation of our hair takes place.
An issue that has not escaped K18, whose molecular repair mask has established itself as a real bestseller. Building on this success, the brand is now interested in hair aging. And this time, there is no question of simply correcting the damage that is already visible: the idea is to act upstream, even before the first signs of aging appear. His new weapon? FutureIQ, an anti-aging hair serum that focuses on a preventive approach.
FutureIQ, K18’s new bet
Over time, the antioxidant defenses of the follicles can weaken, their growth cycle change and the cells responsible for pigmentation lose activity. Phenomena to which can be added the effects of UV rays, pollution or even chemical treatments, which contribute to oxidative stress. To act on these different factors, K18 focuses on an approach that is not limited to improving the appearance of hair, but also targets its biological environment.
At the heart of FutureIQ, the patented MultiVital technology brings together three families of assets. Biomimetic peptides aim to support melanin production and transfer mechanisms; a root anchoring complex which seeks to limit the degradation of proteins helping to hold the hair in place and, finally, antioxidants intended to strengthen the follicle’s natural defenses against oxidative stress. The stated ambition: to reduce hair loss, preserve density and delay the appearance of white hair.
Results from the first month?
According to a twelve-week clinical study presented by K18, 100% of participants showed a reduction in falls after one month of use. After eight weeks, 87% gained density, while 70% showed less gray hair after three months. The brand also reports an improvement in the protective barrier of the scalp in all participants after two months. Promising results, however, to be qualified: K18 does not publicly specify the number of participants or the detailed protocol of this study.
K18 anti-aging hair serum: how to integrate it into your routine?
FutureIQ is used every evening, directly on the dry or damp scalp, without prior shampoo being required. To facilitate application, K18 recommends dividing the hair into four sections, then distributing a pipette filled to the mark on each of them. Then simply massage gently to penetrate the serum, without rinsing. An easy step to integrate into your evening ritual. Price-wise, count on 125 euros for a 90 ml bottle, or around one month of use.
