OLAPLEX No.4 And 5 Bond Maintenance Shampoo And Conditioner

Product Information

Olaplex was the result of years of research conducted by husband-and-wife team Dean and Darcy Christal. Dean grew up within the beauty industry, as his brother ran a tanning shop, his dad was a distributor for several retailers, and his mother operated a hair salon. The secret behind OLAPLEX’s incredible success? The brand’s patented bond building technology and bond maintenance system. Working on a molecular level, the brand’s bond building innovation is the first of its kind, repairing strands’ broken disulphide bonds, caused by heat and colour damage. This active system works by repairing and realigning the torn disulphide links, rather than just increasing the density of the hair, like typical repair systems do.

The shampoo is silky and suds up really well. I can tell it’s really getting my hair nice and clean, without stripping it completely. You know that feeling when you use a harsh shampoo and your hair just feels squeaky clean in a bad way? Hate that. This doesn’t do that at all, but still does a great job of thoroughly cleaning my hair.Not down to spend that without knowing if you like it? Both the shampoo and conditioner have mini sizes! Great way to spend a bit less to try it out before splurging on the bigger sizes. Surfactants/Cleansing Agents: Olaplex shampoo products, such as Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, may contain cleansing agents like Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, and Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate. These ingredients help to cleanse the hair and scalp by removing dirt, oils, and product buildup. The ingredients included in Olaplex products vary depending on the specific product. However, the following information provides insights into the ingredients used in Olaplex products and their purpose:

Olaplex is a cruelty free haircare brand! I believe they started within salons before being offered at retailers. Their formulas are based around the ingredient Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, which is said to completely transform hair. Is Olaplex cruelty free?

I think we all are well aware how to use shampoo and conditioner, nothing all that new here! One thing that Olaplex recommends, and I always did this with my conditioner no matter the brand, but to let this sit on your hair in the shower for at least 3 minutes. Give your hair the time to soak in all that hydration and nourishment! Olaplex Shampoo and Conditioner Review Well, I love them both. I wish I didn’t. I went into using them being VERY skeptical that they would be worth the price point and hype surrounding them. But wow, from the first time I used them both I was hooked! Versatility: Olaplex is available in different products, including Olaplex No. 1 and No. 2, which are used in salons during and immediately after color treatments. Additionally, Olaplex No. 3 is an at-home treatment that can be used one to three times a week to maintain the benefits of the system. Joico Defy Damage: Joico Defy Damage is a line of hair care products that offer protection and repair against various types of damage, including chemical processing, heat styling, and environmental stressors. Their products aim to strengthen and fortify the hair while maintaining its color and vibrancy. Also, at one point I ran out of shampoo and started using a drugstore one in the meantime. I was hoping it was just the conditioner working it’s magic, and that I could get away with a cheaper shampoo. Nope, not the case. I noticed a difference in my hair when doing this Olaplex shampoo big time. Frizzier and more dry for sure.
