Olaplex Products Explained

Hi guys!

Caroline bell here from the hair salon.ie Today I want to chat with you about Olaplex and tell you a little bit about,  who it’s for, what it does,  and what to expect from olaplex. So olaplex was originally designed for the hairdresser, so it was almost our insurance whilst we were colouring your hair to maintain the integrity of the hair.  It isn’t your ticket to white hair!

I get all the time clients coming in to me with pictures of white hair, saying I want that. Can we use olaplex to get me there?  Olaplex isn’t your ticket to white hair,  but what olaplex is is an insurance to maintain the integrity of the hair whilst we colour you. To help you achieve your dream colour.  Olaplex originally was just used in salon to add to our colour to protect the hair whilst we were colouring.  And then it expanded and it became a whole take home range  As well which is the olaplex that you know today.

And that is amazing so we can protect your hair in salon using olaplex one and two and then olaplex zero three four five six seven and eight are yours to take home to maintain the integrity of the hair and prep the hair for your next colour service . Also so olaplex works internally on the hair repairing broken disulphide bonds.

We have broken bonds in our hair for many different reasons. So whether that is from colouring our hair, bleaching our hair, from over styling our hair, not using heat protect and damaging our hair and normal day-to-day stressors like brushing our hair can also damage the hair. So olaplex is going to work internally to repair any of those broken bonds and used correctly and used over time will bring your hair back to a virgin like state.

It is an amazing product and it is a hairdresser’s dream product to work with. We love it because it does give us that like I said that insurance just to push the hair that little bit further. And know that we can carry out service in salon and your hair will be in the same condition if not better when you are leaving the salon.

Now to talk about the at-home range. The olaplex zero and three these are the at-home treatment and zero and three used together is going to give you salon strength olaplex at home. Both these need to be used together to give you that salon strength  of olaplex experience. You can use these once a week or if your hair is extremely damaged then you can use it two to three times a week.

Olaplex four and five our shampoo and conditioner. So again these contain olaplex patented ingredients for bond re- building . You can use these daily. They can be used as a daily shampoo and conditioner. They are extremely concentrated so a little goes a long way with olaplex number four and five. I would always say the size of the top of the bottle is the amount of product that you need to use when you are shampooing or conditioning your hair.

Olplex 6 is our bond smoother which is a leave-in olaplex treatment. Which is going to help to smooth in the bonds, close down the cuticle and keep it locked and sealed. And keep your colour inside for longer.

Olaplex number seven is your smoothing oil this can be used on the hair wet or dry.  It’s lovely to use on the hair afterwards when it is dry to smoothen down any of those flyaways and add more shine to your hair.

Olaplex number eight is the latest edition and this actually jumps the queue so it was always you would use all of olaplex in numerical order. And then number eight came and it is going to jump the queue ahead of six and seven. You would use this after you shampoo your hair and my clients love this. And why hairdressers love this is the client is going to see more of a difference from this than what you will from your zero and three. Zero and three are working internally on the hair repairing the bonds. So as a client when we’re doing treatments on our hair what we do like to see and feel is that silky moisturized feel. They’ve brought number eight along and that not only repairs the bonds internally. But it also drops moisture into the hair and that is going to give you that silkier condition. You will know you have done a treatment on your hair.

Olaplex Zero and three are stronger and as a hairdresser we love you using those because that is what is going to do the most work in the hair. And olaplex number eight is a fantastic add-on to that to not only repair your bonds,  but also to restore the moisture levels in the hair.

So who should use olaplex? Anybody who colours their hair. Especially those who bleach their hair, highlight their hair or chemically straighten their hair. It’s suitable to use every day as your shampoo and conditioner and your treatment can be used once a week to three times a week. Your number six and seven can be used daily.

It’s also a gorgeous range for anybody with curly hair.  Olaplex is fantastic for making your curls more manageable, smoothing the frizz and creating more of a defined curl in the hair. Your six and seven can be left on the hair to dry naturally as well. So for anybody with naturally curly hair they’re lovely products to leave in to help you manage your curl at home.

i hope that answers some of your questions regarding Olaplex. If you have any more questions on it make sure you pop over to our Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/thehairsalon.ie/ my dms are always opened, and I am more than happy to answer any of your questions there.  The Olaplex range is available on our website the hairsalon.ie and we post anywhere in Ireland.

I will talk to you all soon take care

Have a great day

Out of all treatments available for damaged hair, nothing compares to Olaplex. It is the original Plexing Treatment.  Which a patented technology that repairs broken Disulphide bonds in the hair.

So why are Disulphide bonds so important?

All hair contains millions of disulphide bonds which give the hair its structure, strength, and stability. When all the bonds, especially the disulphide bonds, are intact and in alignment, you have healthy, beautiful, shiny, touchable hair. When disulphide bonds are broken, it results in damage.

How we Damage Hair!

We damage hair daily. Split ends, frizz, lacklustre Colour, thinning and dryness. These can all be related to broken disulphide bonds. Using heated styling tools can lead to damaged hair.  Mechanical damage from brushing, rough towel drying or tying hair up too tight can all lead to damage.

UV damage from the sun, humidity, extreme hot/cold weather conditions. Pollution, etc. all have a negative impact on the hair’s bonds.

Chemical services can also cause damage to hair. These services include Colour, Lighteners, Perms.

What can we do to treat Damaged Hair?

So this is where Olaplex comes in. Olaplex was discovered by scientists.  Working on something else altogether.  They discovered a side effect of what they had come up with was something that could rebuild broken disulphide bonds in the hair.

Originally a product hairdressers could add to colours to prevent damaging bonds whilst colouring. They then expanded to a complete take home range for people with damaged hair.

 

olaplex treatment

Olaplex now is from number 0 Right through to Number 8.  Olaplex 1 & 2 being in salon only treatments. And the rest are take home products. Olaplex 0 & 3 used together at home  give the same strength treatment as an in salon treatment. Olaplex 4 & 5 being your shampoo and conditioner. Which both have Olaplex bond repairing properties and are suitable for every day use. Olaplex 6 & 7 are finishing products. With 6 being a bond smoothing leave in treatment. And 7 being an oil which gives heat protection. Whilst closing and smoothing the cuticle to help keep colour locked inside for longer. Olaplex 8 which is newly launched is a treatment mask that will also add moisture to the hair. This is really the icing on the cake when it comes to treating damaged hair.
