Utilizing 20+ years of experience in technology and engineering, Suveen Sahib set out to challenge the status quo of hair care by understanding the biology of hair. After 10 years of research mapping to find a sequence that most closely matched the keratin structure of the human hair, Suveen disrupted the industry in 2019 with his debut of K18 and the patented K18PEPTIDE™. From there K18 Hair was born.
