If you keep up to date with trends you will have heard about OLAPLEX and will know how amazing it is! We're here to go into detail of how OLAPLEX works so you can have a great understanding of how to keep your hair looking flawless at all times.
BACKGROUND Olaplex is a bonding product. Your hair gets damaged by the use of heat, colour and sun amongst many other things. When your hair gets damaged the bonds which hold your hair together become weakened which results in your hair snapping and causes split ends. OLAPLEX works to rebuild broken bonds from within repairing, protecting, and strengthening hair. Turn dry, brittle, and damaged hair into silky, smooth, vibrant hair with OLAPLEX. OLAPLEX is a bond multiplier with a patented active ingredient, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. It works on a molecular level to seek out broken bonds in the hair that are caused by chemical, thermal, and mechanical damage. You can use OLAPLEX to restore compromised hair, or add it to another service to provide the ultimate breakage insurance.
OLAPLEX NO.1 & NO.2 - PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY
This concentrated first step rebuilds broken disulfide bonds and begins the process or repairing hair and preventing further damage.
This product goes on your hair during the colouring service. It’s mixed directly with the hair colour and applied directly onto your hair. This can also be applied at the backwash
OLAPLEX NO.2 – “BOND PERFECTER”
This second step continues to restore and rebuild and remaining broken bonds, ensuring the healthiest, shiniest and strongest hair possible.
This product goes on at the backwash. Once we have rinsed out your hair colour, Olaplex is applied and left on for around 20 minutes, then rinsed out.

Our advise to get the most out of each application is to damp your hair down apply your Olaplex No.3, use your favourite brush to brush your hair. This will ensure its all covered and sleep in it that way you can just wash your hair in the morning knowing your hair got the maximum benefit.
