Regardless of whether you've over-bleached your hair or relied too heavily on heat styling, we’ve all subjected our beloved locks to quite a bit of stress. Yet, one brand that consistently emerges as the ultimate solution for hair care is Olaplex.
Olaplex was once exclusively available in salons, where professional stylists utilized it to repair and restore damaged hair. Fortunately, you can now access their scientifically proven hair treatments right from the comfort of your home.
What is Olaplex?
OLAPLEX is one of the largest independent hair care brands globally and the creator of the only genuine patented bond builders available. They are true pioneers in the field of repairing damaged hair. Their chemically formulated treatments operate at a molecular level to mend broken hair bonds resulting from various types of damage.
Regardless of whether your hair is curly, fine, thick, or coarse, Olaplex is effective for EVERY hair type.
What does Olaplex do?
Olaplex stands out from other hair treatments. Unlike many hair care brands that merely mask the issue, the Olaplex formula genuinely repairs damage with its unique patented ingredient, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. This ingredient operates at a molecular level to rejuvenate your hair. In fact, it is the sole patented bond builder in the industry.
Olaplex is designed to reconnect damaged bonds in hair, bringing it back to its healthiest condition. Each of their products features their patented bond-building technology to repair damaged hair and strengthen it for the future. Olaplex takes a holistic approach to all hair types, reinforcing the entire hair strand, including both its length and width, providing immediate and lasting results
OLAPLEX was designed with all hair types in mind and that’s what contributed to its huge level of success. Whether you want to transform damaged locks and tame dry, brittle hair into gorgeous, luscious hair or simply maintain the healthy appearance that you already have then OLAPLEX has you covered with its scientifically proven patented technology.
No.1 & No.2 are the beginning of the OLAPLEX process but are not available for purchase to the public as they are exclusively for hair professionals only and are used as part of technical services or stand-alone treatments that you have during a hair appointment.

It is suitable for everyone but particularly good for those with any kind of hair damage be it from chemical treatments, heat, or other hair treatments. Apply to unwashed but slightly wet hair and leave on for at least 20 minutes or alternatively overnight for best results and then rinse.
