Olaplex now has quite a few products in its range. We can imagine that it is difficult to figure out how to use everything and what order you should follow. Below we will take a closer look at the great products from Olaplex!
How does Olaplex work?
Your hair consists mainly of the protein Keratin. This protein consists of a chain of amino acids, which are in every hair. If the protein is at a good level and your hair is not damaged, this chain will be strong, giving you strong hair. Sufficient protein ensures that your hair remains strong. If your hair is damaged, this chain is interrupted. The result: holes in the chain and therefore damaged hair. Did you know that bleaching breaks this chain? Olaplex ensures that the amino acids bond with each other again. It creates a link between the two loose amino acids, making the chain strong again. If you mix Olaplex with a bleaching powder, it will cause less damage to your hair. But there are more steps to keep your hair as strong as possible. Every Olaplex product contains this active restorative ingredient.
Is Olaplex suitable for my hair?
Yes! Olaplex is suitable for all hair types. So whether you have curly, straight, thin, damaged or dull hair… use it!
How did Olaplex come about?
Olaplex was founded by Dean Christal. He teamed up with chemists Dr. Craid Hawker and Dr. Eric Pressly. This dream team invented a chemical compound consisting of only one ingredient, without silicones and oil. Olaplex reconnects broken bonds in the hair before, during and after color treatments, leaving your hair nice and strong!

Can I use Olaplex if I have had a keratin treatment?
A keratin treatment is a semi-permanent treatment with liquid keratin that makes your hair smooth and soft. It nourishes your hair incredibly well. The No.3 Hair Perfector is then a great extra boost. So you can safely use it.
Is Olaplex Curly Girl Method Proof?
As a true Curly Girl, a chemical treatment is of course not the best for your curls. With Olaplex you consciously choose to limit damaged hair and make your hair nice and healthy again.
There are many different things to find online about Olaplex and curly hair. It depends on your personal preference and the haircare routine you already use.
The balance between protein and moisture determines, among other things, the elasticity and stretch of your curly hair. With too much moisture and too little protein, your hair stretches too much. Your curls sag and can feel dry. With too much protein and too little moisture, your hair does not stretch enough. This can cause hair breakage.
After bonding treatments such as No.0 and No.3, it is wise to use shampoo and conditioner that do not contain too high protein levels. This will dry out your curls. Your curly locks benefit more from deeply hydrating products after a bonding treatment. Because the shampoo and conditioner from Olaplex also contain these bonding ingredients, this combination would not provide an optimal result. This does not mean that Olaplex is unsuitable for the CG method, but it is good to find the right balance in the routine that you use.
