Let me start by saying this thing is a miracle worker! I’ve been hearing about this for years but never had a damaging chemical process that I’d need to use it, until now. I decided to dye my hair blue, it’s something I have been wanting to do for years but didn’t want to bleach my full head, I have reddish brown hair, a medium to dark brown, that I dye with permanent hair color, so I bleached my entire head with 40 volume peroxide and bleach powder, luckily my hair bleached easily to a very pale blonde that I didn’t need to bleach again, but that first round destroyed my curly hair. I have loose curls/waves and my hair looked like brillo when it was dry. I was so nervous, I couldn’t comb through, it was elastic, it was a mess. I then dyed it using Arctic fox hair dye which is vegan, no chemicals and moisturizes the hair. My hair then looked great color wise, it was soft but looked fried, and I mean fried!!! That was Last Monday, so I spent the week doing loads of Argan oil, had to flat iron it to help hide the extreme damage, but still the ends would look super dry and pretty much like brillo, and we had the worst week in NYC, hot and very humid, which didn’t help at all. So I decided to buy this, was skeptical about the “Fake” reviews, so I bought directly from amazon and not third party sellers, just to be extra sure. I received the product sealed, looking fine. The consistency is thick, its very concentrated. I washed my hair with sulfate free shampoo to remove all the Argan oil i used and then put Olaplex all over my hair, combed, put a shower cap and let it stay for 2 hours. Then rinsed, shampooed and put a “It’s a 10” hair mask for about 10 minutes and massaged it on my hair. And wow, just wow, my hair felt like hair again, I was able to blow dry it straight with a comb, and NO and I mean Not a single hair got stuck or broke off on the brush! My hair is back to life! It’s soft, shiny, super strong and I”m so happy again!!! This pic is from a couple of hours after I used it and you can see it looks like hair and not a steel sponge! Only one application and it already did that, can you imagine with regular use?

There are two common reviews that I want to address. 1st, that the product is damaging their hair. If you need Olaplex, your hair is already damaged. You hair is falling out and breaking because you bleached it. Olaplex is amazing but it isnt going to glue your hair back together. What it will do is bond your hair that hasnt yet reached the point of breaking and it will help but some hair cannot be helped. 2nd is that the product is too expensive for what you get. (sigh) So here is the deal, You tried to bleach your own hair because you thought it would be soooo much cheaper. Your hair is burned and falling apart so now you want to find a cheap way to fix your hair. (sigh) Insert Brand Mondo rolling his eyes. Good product costs money honey. You are welcome to get something cheaper but remember that you get what you pay for.

I purchased Olaplex after reading tons of both positive and negative reviews. What I learned: 1) You must was your hair with a clarifying shampoo prior to using Olaplex 3. The chemical bonds can’t reconnect if your hair has build up from product or hard water. 2) Olaplex needs to be washed out of your hair with a clarifying shampoo. 3). Olaplex is not a conditioner so it will not hydrate your hair. If you have dry damaged hair you must apply a conditioner after using Olaplex. If you follow these three steps you should have a successful outcome. I’m 48 years old and have been bleaching my hair since high school (30 years). I am pleased that my natural waves have returned and the frizz is gone after using Olaplex 👍

Just bleached my hair pale ash blonde from a virgin level 2 black. Only shampoo once or twice a month, no or VERY rare heat, hair masks in lieu of washing about once a week. So my hair started out pretty healthy and stayed pretty healthy through the bleaching and toning but it got a bit dry on the ends.I used it after bleaching and before toning. I’ve only used it once but have also been doing hair oil treatments and some other hair masks I’ve never used before through the whole ordeal so it’s hard to pinpoint what helped most. I’ll update after a few weeks of use but whatever the cause, my hair is 99% back to its former glory (1% taken off because it’s got way more volume now which I’m assuming is due to some inevitable damage that I cannot feel with my fingers) even after 3 bleaching processes with 30 volume and one toning session with 20 volume. If you’ve already got unhealthy hair and you don’t take care of it, I doubt it’ll help you but it will probably help maintain healthy hair through something like bleaching.Note: I gave it 5 stars because it’s worth investing in but ideally I’d knock off a star because the bottle is so small (expected this. added carmex to a picture for scale) and you have to use so much even for a guy like me with shortish hair. Just not cost effective enough for me to buy it more than once seeing as I take good care of my hair.

Jan 15 2019I do not know if it is the real Olaplex or not.But I love this stuff. I started bleaching sessions since October 2018. I probably bleached 9x since. I reached to a point of extreme damage where my hair felt soo weak it would not even air dry on its own. It felt & looked like noodles & very gummy. It would take me maybe an hr to brush out my hair because of all the damage/breakage.I started taking better care for my hair.I stopped using 10$ shampoos & started buying quality shampoos & deep hair conditioners + hair masks + oils + oraganic virgin oils.All these products did work for saving my hair , I did see improvement in time.But with one use of OLAPLEX ❤Made my hair very soft & silky + healthier looking .I usually use a special detangling brush because of all the knots I get from breakage & from all the bleaching I’ve done to my hair.With Olaplex 3 I no longer struggle to brush my hair or run my fingers without them getting stuck in my hair from tangles of dryed brittle hair.This stuff is just what my damaged hair needed.This was just half the bottle used on my 26inches of hair. I still have half left.At first I was hesitant on buying because not only was it very expensive but it is a very small bottle.I am soo glad I bought this.Favorite hair products for damaged bleached hair◼Olaplex 3◼Redken Ph Bonder◼Redken Extreme Conditioner◼Redken Shampoo for damage hair◼Redken Diamond Oil◼Redken Heat Protectant◼Loreal Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm◼One n Only Argan Oil◼One n Only Aragan Oil Repair Mask◼Herbal Essence Deep Moisturizer Conditioner◼Hair Food Sulfate Free◼Redken Extreme Anti Snap◼Silk Elements Mega Silk heat protectant spray◼Organic Virgin Coconut Oil (HELPED ME ALOT)Hope this helps someone, good luck!Thanks for reading 👍

MAGIC!!!! I swear this stuff is made from Unicorns. I was doubtful, given that I have tried the gamut of hair conditioning treatments (yes, yes, I know this is NOT a conditioner, but a bonder) and all I have to say is WOWZA! After some really harsh processing (got my hair from dark dark brown to very very blonde so I could add funky colors (currently pink), my hair more closely resembled hay than it did actual hair and as the weeks went on, the breakage started getting worse. I tried this at my last feeble attempt to salvage my locks after a friend recommended it and I am BLOWN AWAY by the results! It really does work. I won’t lie and tell you my hair is back to it’s normal state, but it is SIGNIFICANTLY improved. It is smoother, softer, and even has some of the weight back! This was just after 1 application (I left it in for an hour as the website suggested for my level of damage). I can’t wait to see if it gets better with the next application. I am definitely sold.

But… 1 had used my bottle twice and my hair did take to bleaching much better. Now saying that…. it didnt make my hair shiny or bouncy or moisturized as it just helps to protect the hair in between or after a bleach process. This is NOT a conditioner or miracle mask. If your hair was dry before… it will be dry afterwards that is why I would suggest (and instructions say) a deep conditioner after you wash out this formula.What I did try was the overnight process. Seemed silly. I’m a level 2 color and processed to a level 9. over the course of 4 years I have bleached and colored and removed color to add color and strip color and bleach some more, etc. I’m a bleach b. Cant help it. I’m also a 3A/B hair texture… half black and Asian. By year 4…. i had stopped going to the salon which uses olaplex 1 and 2 in my hair (which explains why I was able to bleach and dye my hair so much with barely any damage at all). … and I would say 98% of ends are breaking off… i had cut about 4 inches of hair off and i still see i need to cut another 4!I pulled out my olaplex and said what the heck and kept it on overnight with my heating cap on. Wash it out the next day and deep conditioned.I used my regular oil and heat protectant, blow dry on cool setting and flat ironed my hair (which I stopped doing for a week) and my split ends literally looked like they disappeared! I wish I did a before and after. Much better results than just leaving it on for 10 minutes (which helped but I got an even better result leaving it on overnight). My hair looks healthy and it actually feels stronger. Yu have to personalize what you use after using this product to get the best results.Really good stuff!UPDATE: uploaded a few pictures of the changes in hair color I go through.. my hair has remained long and strong using olaplex. Its incredible how often I can change my color now.

I was foolish and tried to bleach my hair myself and dye it purple. Of course that didn’t turn out so great. I bleached it twice in one day because I couldn’t get my natural dark hair light enough. After it dried I was horrified at the damage I had done and my hair wasn’t even blonde lol. My hair was FRIED. When I touched the ends it felt like pubic hair. Sorry for my description but that’s the best way I can describe it.I took the risk buying this on Amazon. I was worried it wouldn’t work since I never did step 1 and 2 but oh my gosh it worked. After watching tutorials on youtube on how to properly apply it to damp hair I was surprised at how much better it felt. It’s not a miracle product, ladies and gentleman. I still had to cut some of my ends but I didn’t have to cut as much as I originally anticipated. I may update pictures when i’m in better lighting so you can see proof.Piece of advice. Apply on damp hair. This helps you use less product. Section your hair and make sure your hair is saturated. Trust me, you don’t have to use the whole bottle even if you have long hair. A small amount will coat your hair. I have hair past my shoulders and have done three treatments and still have a lot in my bottle. Also, use a wide tooth brush on your hair to make sure it is coated evenly.I left it on for about 15 to 20 minutes and then added a hair mask on top of it and waited about 10 more minutes with it wrapped. After that I rinsed it with cool water with a tiny bit of shampoo at the scalp area.I did not towel dry my hair since it can be harsh on brittle hair. Instead I gently twisted my hair to remove excess water. While my hair was damp I applied oil only to my ends and let it air dry.My hair feels amazing! Good luck guys! If you guys have just dry hair you probably don’t need to do all the steps I did but I totally destroyed my hair. And i’m telling you, just the product alone made my hair feel soft.

READ THIS!!!I first have to say, I don’t typically write reviews UNLESS the product blows me away, which is rare. To give you a little background about my hair. I had extremely HEALTHY, LONG, THICK blonde hair! It fell to the middle of my back, It was absolutely beautiful. I went to get it colored to give it a break from the highlights, I was going to change it to a strawberry blonde, which I have been many times before and other than blonde, its the only other color I like on me. When I went to the salon, they messed up the color. I ended up with hot pinkish, purple roots and a grayish auburn, mid-shaft to ends. I was in the salon that day for 7 and a half hours. They had to bleach my entire head and leave it on to get all of the screwed up colors out of my hair, resulting to EXTREME chemical damage and breakage. I went in with my hair being all one length to having bangs that were never even cut into my hair. My hair was destroyed and they had to take over 5inches off just to get the ends to LOOK healthy. My hair now sits on my shoulders and has broken pieces all over the top and mid section and all around my hair line. I have literally cried about this since it happened 5 weeks ago. It took me forever to get my hair exactly the way I wanted it and now I am starting over. My hair is no longer manageable, it is kinky and dry and looks it! The salon I had gone to was a new salon closer to where I moved. Prior to this salon I had been going to my original hairstylist for 15 years (I’m 30) so half of my life one person has touched my hair. I live two hours from her now so I decided to give a different salon a try and it was a mistake. I will now be driving 2 hours to go to her every 8 weeks. I texted her about 2 weeks after this all happened and she told me right away to order this product. I didn’t hesitate. I ordered it and received it the beginning of this week. I have used it twice so far and I will tell you what, after the first time I noticed a difference! I am excited to see after a couple months and using this 3 times a week (Extremely damaged hair should use it more than once a week). I also have been sleeping with it on over night which I notice gives me better results. This is not a conditioning treatment, so it does need to be shampooed out. I have a feeling this product will be what saves my hair. I will post before and after pictures once I actually do my hair so you can see the difference!
