Olaplex
Our hair contains millions of disulfide bonds
Say what? There is a magic little ingredient called Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate that works on a molecular level inside your hair. A mouthful right?!
What you really need to know is that it works in a completely unique way. Only OLAPLEX does what OLAPLEX does. It multiplies that disulphide bonds inside your hair, these bonds give the hair its structure, strength and stability. When disulfide bonds are broken, it results in damage.
OLAPLEX is repairing each strand as a whole (from base to ends). It finds bonds that have been broken down by any means (colour, chemical straightening, blow waving, etc) and reconnects them both ionically and covalently. Meaning that broken or weak bonds anywhere on the hair shaft are targeted, therefore stronger, shinier, softer hair that is ready to be coloured and styled much more successfully.
Be aware that Olaplex no.3 (our hero product!) is NOT A CONDITIONER and you will still need to use a conditioner. It is so exciting to have such a transformative product in our hands and for you to use at home. Win/ Win!
Once all the bonds are intact and in alignment, you have healthy, beautiful, shiny, touchable hair.
Product Spotlight: Olaplex No.3
This is the original product that made Olaplex famous! This global best-seller is an at-home treatment, not a conditioner, that reduces breakage and visibly strengthens hair, improving its look and feel. It will restore your hair’s healthy appearance and texture by repairing damage that have been caused within the hairs structure and protecting the structure for its future.
Use once a week for maintenance, twice to three times a week for change.
Top Tips:
- Olaplex No.3 is not a conditioner. You still need to be using a professional conditioner suited to your hair type. This product is used as a pre wash treatment that must be rinsed out with shampoo and conditioner, although the longer you leave it, the better it will be. This is why lots of consumers sleep in overnight before rinsing it out in the morning
- Olaplex No.3 needs to be applied on wet hair or it will not work. This is because the surface tension on the hair needs to be broken for the product to penetrate into the hair!
- Olaplex No.3 is the dream product for restoring curly hair to its absolute glory! Apply to damp hair and you are good to go!

- You can put it on wet or dry! Best results are shown when the product is blow-dried into the hair, but Olaplex No.6 does work as a sealant! Start with half a pea size amount and work into mid-lengths and ends of hair. Smoothing and sealing the fly–aways!

- Olaplex No.7 is best used in wet hair before styling so the product can protect your hair from the heat you are about to use on it! However, you can add a few drops in once styling is complete to bring out optimum colour vibrancy and shine!
Your OLAPLEX regime is best applied after giving the hair a DEEP CLEANSE
We recommend Olaplex No.4 and No.5 (Shampoo and Conditioner that contain the Olaplex Patented Technology).
Remember: Olaplex NO.4 and No.5 are hydrophillic meaning that they are attracted to water. If you feel like you need more shampoo or conditioner, first add a bit of water to your hand or hair before adding more product. This will most likely sort your problem.
Remember folks, there are a lot of “bonders” out there on the market. OLAPLEX is patented and the only product that re-bonds in this specific way.
