K18 AirWash: The Hair Extension Industry’s Best-Kept Secret
It’s Hannah here, founder of Look Eleven, and I just wanted to write a blog about my newest favourite product for extensions…
We all know that over washing your hair extensions can lead to a shorter life-span (RIP). It strips your hair extensions of essential oils, and causes it to dry out and be more prone to breaking. Washing hair extensions too frequently can lead to a build-up of shampoos, conditioners, and styling products, which may weigh down the hair and cause it to look flat.
But let’s be honest....Who wants to spend a fortune on hair extensions to be told to wear it in a Miss Trunchbull bun 6 days a week? Not forgetting the abomination that is the supermarket dry shampoos that leave you looking like you’ve just been caught in a blizzard!
The Problem with Over-Washing
Washing extensions too often is a fast track to dryness and damage. Unlike your natural hair, extensions don’t get the benefit of natural oils from your scalp, so every wash strips them of what little moisture they have. This can lead to brittleness, split ends, and an overall shorter lifespan.
There’s also the product build-up problem. Too much shampoo, conditioner, or styling product can weigh extensions down, leaving them looking flat and greasy instead of fresh and voluminous. Cutting back on washing is the obvious answer, but no one wants to walk around feeling like their hair is a ball of grease!
Why Most Dry Shampoos Don’t Cut It
Let’s face it, supermarket dry shampoos aren’t great. They might soak up some oil, but they often leave you with a powdery white residue and that tell-tale gritty texture. Worse, they rarely do much to make your hair actually look good.
Why K18 AirWash is Different
K18 AirWash effectively neutralises odours, leaving hair fresh without the need for a traditional wash. It adds volume and body to hair, making it look fuller and more vibrant between washes, and there is NO white residue! And yes, whilst this may be more expensive than other brands, a bottle can last you at least 2 months so its value for money is exceptional.
Here’s why it works so well for extensions broken down into points:
- Gentle Yet Effective: K18 AirWash removes odors and refreshes your hair without water, meaning your extensions stay intact and hydrated instead of drying out.
- Residue-Free: Forget the chalky, white mess of traditional dry shampoos—K18 AirWash leaves your hair looking clean, not powdered.
- Volume and Body: Unlike other refreshers, it doesn’t just clean; it adds volume and bounce, making your extensions look vibrant and styled even days after your last wash.
- Cost-Effective: Yes, it’s more expensive than a supermarket option, but a little goes a long way. A single bottle can easily last two months or more, making it a smart investment for keeping your extensions in top shape.
How to Use It for the Best Results
My top tip for using K18 Airwash is to use a couple of sprays on your roots on freshly washed hair to get the full effect and even longer between washes!
Between Washes: Spray a small amount onto your roots, then massage it in to refresh your hair.
On Wash Day: Use a few sprays on freshly washed hair to extend the time between washes while keeping your roots fresh and full of volume.

Extensions deserve extra care, and K18 AirWash delivers exactly that. It keeps your hair looking fresh, neutralises odours, and adds body—all without compromising the quality of your extensions.
