Previously only available in salons, Olaplex swiftly corrects damage caused by heat styling or chemical colouring, while also strengthening your strands for thicker, healthier-looking hair. Among industry professionals it is a household name. Never tried it? Here’s what you need to know…
The Ingredients
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. Founded by Dean Christal, the Olaplex range was created with scientists who built a unique molecule – named bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate – to strengthen the hair from the inside out. The active chemistry works on a molecular level to repair damaged and broken bonds. It repairs the broken bonds and rejuvenates hair, increases tensile strength and restores elasticity and protects the hair follicle from further breakage. While there are different numbered bottles to choose from – from one to five, and each reflecting a different stage of the haircare process – the third is the most-talked about. Think of Olaplex No 3 as a mini salon treatment at home. Experts all agree that it's a great way to test the Olaplex waters without committing to the whole set. Plus, you’ll see great results on moderate to severely damaged hair.
Celebrities Adore It
A-listers Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Margot Robbie and Kim Kardashian are all huge fans. It’s a total game-changer, especially when it comes to regularly using bleach or heated tools.
“When your hair is really damaged, if you sleep in that, it really works. I notice a huge difference!” – Kim Kardashian
"One of the products that I've recently discovered, which I can't stop raving about, is Olaplex, which is fantastic for colored hair and any breakage or damage that you might have in your hair. I use that about once a week for a deep treatment and I'll use it before I go get my hair colored as well.'' - Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
