Olaplex Hair Care Brand
This is a new brand for me and I am rather cross that I didn’t know about this brand and range much earlier. Our results when tested have been very good indeed, but certain after using for a few more weeks, they’ll be even better. Whatever type of hair you have, if you are constantly struggling with it, then do give this brand a try and most likely bad-hair days will be a thing of the past for you! This is what Olaplex say:
Olaplex is one of the largest independent hair care brands in the world with over 100 worldwide patents. Through a grassroots approach, the brand quickly became a global sensation, paving the way for a completely new category of haircare called ‘bond-building’. Our hair contains millions of disulfide bonds. These bonds give the hair its structure, strength and stability. When disulfide bonds are broken, it results in damage. But once all the bonds are intact and in alignment, you will have healthy, beautiful, shiny, touchable hair. Olaplex restores damaged and compromised hair by repairing from the inside out with their patented single ingredient, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. Known as the ‘invention,’ the Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate ingredient allowed professionals to reach new heights in colour and care. Hair wasn’t just healthier; it took on a completely different quality — blondes were brighter, brunettes more radiant and redheads more vibrant.

No.3
This is the first step in repairing your damaged hair and maintaining your hair bonds at home. No.3 contains the same active ingredient as their entire Olaplex professional salon services system, which works to repair broken disulfide bonds. No.3 dramatically improves hair health, texture, and strength. Just apply a generous amount of No.3 to damp, towel dried hair and work through. If your hair has product build-up such as oil or silicone, it is best to do a light shampoo first then damp down and towel dried hair is best to help conserve product. Allow to process for at least 10 minutes or more, but you can leave it in longer if you wish. Then rinse. For maximum results try shampooing with Olaplex No.4 and conditioning with Olaplex No.5.
