K89 KC Gloss Activator 1 is a 1.5% oxidising gel emulsion for KC Gloss Oil mixtures that refresh tone, enhance shine and provide tone-on-tone colour. It is designed specifically for the acidic-pH demi-permanent colouring system.
The ammonia-free emulsion is enriched with protein. Add two parts activator to one part colour; when using Clear, calculate the activator quantity from the combined volume of colour and pigment-free base.

Product story
The KC Gloss Oil activator range offers two strengths with different roles. Activator 1, with a one-and-a-half per cent hydrogen peroxide concentration, is designed to refresh tone and enhance shine. Activator 2, at six per cent, is chosen for stronger grey blending with natural-looking results and greater coverage.
Both activators are oxidising gel emulsions. They contain protein, are free from ammonia and are designed for use with KC Gloss Oil acidic-pH colour. Colouring with this system can refresh the shade, even out colour and correct unwanted tones while enhancing hair shine.
The Clear pigment-free base reduces shade intensity but does not replace the activator. When preparing this mixture, add together the colour and Clear volumes and calculate the activator from that total. Choose the strength according to the required coverage; the mixing ratio ensures a mixture suited to the system.

About K89
K89 is a Spanish professional haircare brand founded in 2010 and part of the Vitafrán group. It began by responding to demand for specialist keratin treatments and care for damaged hair. The K in its name refers to keratin, while 89 marks the start of the Vitafrán family business in 1989.
Hairdressers and salon work are central to the brand. Its portfolio combines technical colouring and treatment products with everyday care and finishing products. Professional training supports the range, helping hairdressers choose an approach suited to the condition of the hair.
What is K89 known for?
K89 focuses on damaged hair, hydration, smoothness and frizz control. Different ranges address intensive care, curl definition, shine and colouring. This makes it possible to select products around a specific concern and hair type rather than build every routine around the same formula.
K89 products
Shampoos, conditioners and masks
Shampoos, conditioners and hair masks form the basis of regular care. Consider dryness, the extent of damage, hair texture and the desired finish when choosing a product. Follow cleansing with a suitable rinse-out or leave-in treatment.
Intensive Care
Intensive Care brings together treatments and maintenance care. The brand describes Wizard System as an intensive hair-fibre treatment with collagen, amino acids and vitamin E. The range also includes a preparatory shampoo, finishing serum, maintenance shampoos and a mask designed to complement the treatments.
Professional Curly Hair
Professional Curly Hair is designed for wavy and curly hair, following the principles of the Curly Method. Its priorities are hydration, defined and elastic curls, and reduced frizz. K89 emphasises the role of a hairdresser in selecting products and routines for the individual hair type.
Global Glow and hair colour
Global Glow targets shine, hydration and frizz control, with cotton, rosehip and argan extracts highlighted in its formulas. Permanent hair colour is another part of the professional portfolio. K89 describes 4D COLOR EXPERTS through four aspects: depth, shine, coverage and care.
Who are K89 products for?
K89 suits hairdressers and customers seeking targeted care for dry, damaged, coloured or curly hair. For home care, choose a product intended for your hair’s condition.
