OLAPLEX: A Guide To This Hair Hero
The Holy Grail of Hair
We love experimenting with hair colour, whether it's to cover our greys, touch up our roots or go for a completely new look. Sadly, there's no denying that repeated colouring can damage the quality of our hair making it prone to dryness, dullness and split ends. And, when hair is damaged, colour doesn't last as long, which means even more hair colour appointments and ultimately, even more damage.
What is Olaplex?
It's a system that rebuilds the damaged disulphide bonds in your hair that are broken during the chemical process. If you've bleached or had your hair highlighted for years, Olaplex allows you to rebuild the strength, structure and integrity of your hair; 'think of it as a reset' for your hair.
The At-Home Steps:
This at-home treatment is recommended for use once a week and is best applied before your shampoo and conditioner. Apply 1-3 teaspoons to dampened hair and comb through evenly. Leave on for 10-30 minutes or do as Kim Kardashian does and leave overnight!
Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo
This can replace your regular shampoo for a hydrating, strengthening top-up at every wash.
Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner
This is the final step in the treatment to hydrate and smooth hair and is recommended to be left on for three minutes before rinsing.
This leave in smoothing cream is designed to be applied to damp hair after each wash and helps to eliminates frizz and moisturises chemically-treated hair.
This oil restores shine and vibrance to hair without leaving a greasy residue or weighing hair down. Plus, it further helps to rebuild and strengthen the bonds that are damaged by hair colour or chemical treatments, meaning healthier hair in the long run.
