Kind of like Michelle said damage in general. I can say from experience they are flat out wrong. I was wondering if you could tell me if Olaplex and cleansing conditioners would be incompatible?

Today my stylist was saying she has had 3 or 4 people that had hair loss, breakage, or bad results from wen. Since you are using this product I would recommend using a clarifying shampoo, prior to doing a stand alone treatment. When using a product such as that one, it contains a good deal of silicones and even wax. When this type of buildup occurs, Olaplex is unable to penetrate the hair.

Did you hear about the huge recall on Wen products and their several law suits. I have a client who has been using Wen for years! She loves it… But I have noticed her color processing time has been longer and longer.

The light came on when I used Olaplex in her high lift color hilites and then followed up with 2 treatment for 15 minutes knowing she is going to love the way her hair felt. NOT it actually felt worse. I went on Olplex FB page and asked why this happened? Popular response was Wen needs to be clarified ex Maibu treatment, before color and Olaplex.

So I believe that a clarifying treatment should be done on a regular basis. I briefly researched this and found some people blame Wen for Alopecia. Just a logical observation on my part. My hair was healthy I had it highlighted foiled left on about 40 min nothing abnormally long. Opalex treatment one and 2 prior to bleaching and mixed in bleach. Then opalex 2 after bleaching at salon.

Hair was ok when I left salon highlights effect was good no orange or yellowing. Blonde amd light brown i was pleased. Then after first shampoo and condition as I always have. My natural curls structure was no more and it was very brittle but I kept condition ing and after a week it was started to get some shine getting slightly better. My hair is stripped and the highlights are orange and yellow. My hair has never been worst. My hair seems to be getting worst more dry nd straw like each day.

How can I remove this product from my hair. Please help I emailed opalex no reply. People need to know that step 3 is not a conditioner and can harm and there needs to be a warning not to over use and leave in. My hair was fried from the first wash and condition. I certainly had highlights before never this result. And the orange and yellow ing after step 3. My hair is stripped a direct result after step 3.

This does not wor k with everyone and every product. It has done the exact opposite of what I was told. Can anyone help me fix this mess? Please this is a nightmare. You need to have used Olapex 2 right after rinsing out the bleach mix with Olaplex 1. Or did you directly went to the salon with towel dry hair after rinsing? If not there was the mistake. It also depends on the shampoo you use.

See the Wen issue. As I am no professional but have read a lot about Olaplex lately I am wondering why you used 1 and 2 and then 1 again in the bleach but forget to use 2 like you are supposed to? Trina B — pls contact me via e-mail if you managed to do something about it because I experienced exactly the same problems like you. Thanks a lot. Trina B and Ivana I experienced the same disastrous results.

Just using the standalone Olaplex 3 without any colour or bleach and my hair is absolutely ruined! It went from being shiny and soft with lots of volume to brittle, fragile, coated feeling and thin. Great article! A few questions: Because this ingredient slows down the process of lighteners, the directions say to increase the volume of developer to compensate. So the question is if left on for the same time, is there an increase of damage from having to bump up the volume of developer from say 20 vol.

You allude to the hair being harder to repair after this treatment has been used just a theory. But in damaged hair, not all of the disulfide bonds are broken, so those treatments should still work with any disulfide bridges that have broken after the Olaplex treatment. But there are a few things which will make all chemical bonds break faster — any input of energy sunlight, heat, physical movement.

Hi Michelle, Thank you very much for your post. After a probable breakage of the ionic bond, what do you think about a possible reaction of the carboxylic acids forming esters or amides? Thank you very much again, and congratulations for the detailed post. I have noticed a distinctly better texture to the hair after lifting, and I use Olaplex exclusively in my bleach processes Balayage and foil applications, 40 volume and Platine, which is an accelerated bleach for hair painting.

I do dislike how it makes the process so much slower, and I do feel I get less lift with it in my formula, no matter how I adjust the volume of developer, and how long I leave it on. Sometimes I find myself skipping the Olaplex and treating after or before instead. I really appreciate the article, because I have had a hard time explaining how it works, and understanding it myself. This demystifies it for the most part! Are you suggesting rolling a perm as usual, then using Olaplex to saturate, process for a set amount of time, and use Step 2 as the neutralizer?

I have been wanting to see if I could do a Curlformers perm on a doll head, and that might be a good combo. In my head, repaired is repaired, not an illusion. That makes Step 3 retail for clients really important, as it is prolonging the effects. There are instructions for using Olaplex with perms. I am pretty sure you saturate the hair with Olaplex after risnsing and before neutralizing. All of the directions are available on our free App for Apple and Android phones, Olaplex.

Rinse Rods And Towel Blot. Remove Rods And Rinse Thoroughly. I had platinum blonde hair that had a regrowth of 1. I wanted the lady to make my regrowth look softer, she used bleach on my hair with Olaplex. I really do not know why she used bleach in the first place. But my hair snapped off. I left the salon with half my hair left.

What could she have done wrong for this to happen? She said that she overlapped on to my blonde with the bleach. Ohh my goshhh that sound so familiar!!! Why they pay 18k If they are going to Suck at doing hair? Beautiful explanation of a possible mechanism of action of Olaplex. Can you explain how the hair straightening products based glyoxylic acid works? Thank you for writing this post Michelle! Can I reference part of your post in mine? What do you think of the safety of the chemicals in Olaplex?

I run an organic hair salon and use the most natural products that I can get my hands on to limit the amount of chemical exposure to myself and my clients. Thanks for the article! Hi Julie, I myself run a mainly organic salon. Olaplex is non-toxic but is still a chemical.

Nothing can be considered organic unless its pulled straight from he ground and refrigerated. I have been using Olaplex for well over a year, and tested it until the launch to help with development. If you have any questions, you may email me at [email protected]. I was wondering why. Jordan hill- Olaplex is only capable of multiplying disulfide bonds. If you are having issues with brushing, you will need to address protein and moisture as these are entirely separate issues.

Olaplex works internally. Also, feel free to email me. Do you know by any chance how long the olaplex effect last? Thanks Cristina. The same thing is happening with my hair and I would like to know how long this lasts. Hi Michelle. Thank you so very much for this article. You know there is a lot af different products claming to do the same. I was wondering if you could do the same with these : Colorphlex and Niophlex, also known as Eslabondexx.

I have heard great things about this product, but I heard great things about Japanese straightening and keratin straightening the first year as well. Those products went south for different reasons. I am curious to see how Olaplex does over time. One could simply apply No. The 3. Olaplex states that each kit contains up to 15 applications. Correction: The traveling stylist intro kit contains one bottle of No.

This might seem like a dumb question, just wondering, do you have to use steps one and two to use step 3— the client take home. Thank you so much this cleared up so many questions for me. Hope will see a olaplex 2. I guess my questions would be after doing a ton of research based on chemistry and Im not a chemist; nor can I spell it.

I believe now that I understand the chemistry behind it. Kinda like someone who only knows enough Spanish not to go to jail. You rock girl! I believe some people have had experience using it this way — they might have a better answer! Like months later my hair is still less damaged, but I think over time even just washing and exposure without additional standalone treatments like I did before, it is not as evident it my hair, but it is still there. Hi Michelle, I have a question.

Explained action of Olaplex is proper when disulfide bonds are broken during straightening or perming work and free thiols are available. But during bleaching or colouring, in oxidative environment, disulfide bonds are broken via formation of oxides and sulfonates are formed. Are there other mechanisms of action in Olaplex patents explaining in which way, in these situations, bonds could be reconnected? Olaplex is amazing. As someone who turned prematurely grey at 18, coloring my quick growing hair every three-fourths weeks, plus modeling, my hair works harder than I did.

Has anyone tried the new alternative product yet? It actually is based on 3 molecules as opposed to 1- no need to bump up developer or add extra processing time.

As a stand alone treatment is my favorite. What are the 3 molecules of the Continuum? I hope it is not other … ghost … molecules lately one sees many outstanding. Do you find it is better? Are you able to explain to me what the difference is between Olaplex and Cureplex — aside from the price?

I would also like to hear your comments on the difference between Olaplex and Cureplex. I am told they are essentially the same thing, just different brands. I am a little sceptical… Thanks. Most in Australia seem to be using cureplex. Been told it the same. Would love to know the truth. Do some research into the ingredients lists of both and educate yourself. The reason a lot of salons in Australia are using Cureplex instead of Olaplex is because Cureplex is cheaper — and so, in my opinion, are its ingredients.

My own Cureplex experience as a customer is that the 2 at home treatment leaves my hair lank and horribly greasy, no matter how little of it I use — and I confined it to the very ends of my hair, but it still grabbed a hold and weighed it down with grease by the time it was dry.

I just had a Olaplex treatment. My hair is very course, thick, and I have it highlighted. Aside from all of the above my hair was in okay shape. Until we had a soft water system installed in our home. It literally fried my hair! My hair felt like a brillo pad, straw, and I thought I would have to cut it all off. After just one treatment my hair feels like silk! My question…. I hope it helps me until my hair grows out and goes back to being healthy!

Hair can be damaged from chemical services, mechanical such as brushing and especially thermal such as blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. By using the Olaplex treatment, you link broken disulfide bonds therefore restoring the strength, structure and integrity to the hair. It lowers the porosity of the hair and increases elasticity in the hair. Its an overall reparative treatment! You can do the treatment before your color to strengthen the hair.

This is a great pretreatment for working on compromised hair or before a drastic color change. It is not a protein, you cannot do any damage by using it too much. You can also follow any color service with the same treatment just to restructure the hair after coloring it. My hair is thick, bleached, shoulder length, and very dry.

Olaplex did nothing for my hair either. I just wanted to share my experience with Olaplex. I am a licensed cosmetologist and after seeing rave reviews I wanted to try this product on my platinum blond waste length hair.

But what came afterwards was a horrifying experience! My hair broke off in big clumps and now months later I am still experiencing breakage along the same breakage area line. I have done my own hair for years and have never had this horrid experience happen. I have half as much hair as I use to and all I can do now is wear it slicked back with clip in extensions to hide the breakage and thinness. So of course I was devastated and I re-read the directions making sure I did not make a mixing mistake and I did not.

So I searched out to find a represenitive to tell about my horror story! I was given a email address for a company represenitive at which time I sent her this email…. Me: Hi Sarah, I was given your email address to share my experience with olaplex. I have been platinum blond for years. I am a licensed cosmetologist.

I used olaplex this last time I did my regrowth and my hair broke off. And not like a little breakage this is massive breakage in my crown and Mohawk area. My hair is maybe a inch now in those areas and I have hair almost to my butt! This is extremely bad for business when your know for blonding.

I now must ware my hair back and hair sprayed down. My hair is extremely dry and every time I wash my hair more breaks off! I am really trying not to have a melt down over my hair damage. I just wanted to share my experience and voice my concerns.

This is a on the scalp application. I let it process about 40 min. I have never had problems lightening my hair before and having breakage. My hair is to my butt! Every time I wash my hair more and more breaks off!!! This is even with me washing in cold water and letting my hair air dry with no heat! Olapex Represenative: I apologize about such a terrible experience you have had with your hair.

I copied this from the FAQS sheet to show the directions for on scalp lightener. Using a higher volume is done at your discretion. Did someone do your hair for you or did you do your on scalp application yourself?

Was cotton applied at the line of demarcation to avoid any over lapping? As for lightener, it may also be added directly in as well. By doing so, you are actually able to rebuild bonds as they are being broken during the lightener process.

It gets exponentially worse from there. By adding Olaplex to your lightener, you are actually able to rebuild at the same time allowing you to push hair farther so there are more bonds to be broken. I can get into specifics of mixing etc if you like as well, this is just a generalized explanation. Also if this product is a safe guard from breakage why would it matter if you over lapped product? I always slightly feather out my product so there is no line of demarcation or missed areas.

Using 30v on the scalp for up to 40 min is what I have done on my own hair for years and never had this reaction. The olaplex claims to be a safe guard for damage and allows the cosmetologist to push the hair farther are dishonest and could actually put a professional in a extremely horrible situation.

If you just use products accordingly and take time to let them process there is no need for a advertised safe guard that is actually not really a safeguard. Also I must add that after consulting with a Schwartzkopf educator they do not recommend adding any additives to there products.

I also had my mid length blonde hair break of into 3 inch pieces from the use of Olaplex with bleach. I have gone from red, to honey, to dark brunette to honey all with minimal damage until my stylist used Olaplex. I firmly believe it was from this product. I too experienced horrifying results. My hair burned off in clumps and just so happened to be at the front of my hair line. I lost everything on the left side of my hair about an nch back from the hairline.

I also lost the majority of my bangs. Some ended up being a half an inch long in some areas. I am miserable looking at it and trying to figure out how to hide it every day. It literally brings me to tears. It felt like a brillow pad after each application and has cost me hundreds in hair repair nutrients and conditioners. It makes me SICK!!!!

Same old answers putting blame on the stylist or the consumers!!! This stuff fried my hair also. I have not gone to work for 2 days. Obsessing on how to repair this damage. Condition ing but nothinges helps and my hair is getting worst. OMG this could not of happened at a worst time in my life.

Stylist need to know this stuff can do this. Can I leave the product on my hair for a couple hours? It has really healed my hair. It was so fried it was literally shredding apart. I have a client who purchased it on amazon and the colour of the 1 was completly off!!!!! It definetly was not the true product as I have in the salon!!!!! Love the way you put things together! Thank you soooo much for doing this.

It is really helpful! I have a request for you. Do you know about hairprint? The same product can restore gray hair from very light brown all the way to the darkest black.

Your hair will determine your color. This looks super cool! I wondered if any medications could cause a bad chemical reaction with the Olaplex? I got the first two steps done at my very qualified salon. I took home step three and am afraid to use it again. And thx. Im not sold by Oplaplex either and im a professional distributor of hair products and own 3 pro salons.

One thing i cant get to grips with is the sheer marketing prowess Olaplex have invested in, it seems they manufactured using very cheap basic packaging and invested the rest into a huge marketing campaign. Also i can see on any forum that speaks bad or questions its legitimacy, there is an office of paid marketeers with multiple accounts jumping on to defend their product. Or as we see above, telling us we cant buy it online and must only buy it from their representatives, that are obviously being paid to make videos all over youtube.

I have tested olaplex and a few of the other similar brands, what did i notice? Except it has been marketed for a specific niche to fix a specific problem, again clever marketing.

This actually happened to me on the Rainbow Haircolour FB board. Asking if there were any unbiased, scientific peer reviewed research for this product. A truly bizarre experience. If it permanently repaired damaged hair, why would you need to continue using it between chemical services? Contradictory, isnt it? The chemical sevices keep breaking bonds. But if you keep breaking them what do you expect to get but broken bonds after broken bonds.

Wow its so cool to find such a thorough explanation about a hair product! I will have so much reading to catch up on your other posts now, yay!!

Thanks you! I was given an OlaPlex treatment at the end of July and again at the end of August to treat hair over processed with a perm and color and hilights and the results were beyond spectacular! So I informed my salon that I wanted to add OlaPlex to all my future treatments at which time I was informed that my salon would be going with a product called Continuum and would not be using OlaPlex.

To counteract my wild reaction, they offered me a Free full treatment of Continuum. Well, I hated it. It softened my thin hair to the point that it had no body, no bounce and was actually flyaway. Any advice? I have a salon in Oregon and was pushed by a rep to use Continuum also, as a swap out. I was suggested to do the Olaplex treatment at the salon I normally go to and was sold to me as a miracle hair repair. I really hope my hair will be back to normal soon.

I wish I never had it done! I have virgin hair at 24 years old I recently had a hairdresser burn it with curling tongs! As a scientist I have to say that this molecule is my new BFF. My hair is by no means healthy yet, but this kept my hair from turning into a ball of protein mush.

I will continue to do treatments until my hair is repaired to my liking, and then I will do them regularly thereafter to retain results. I think part of the product design is that the repair is meant to be impermanent. Although people do have repeated treatments on their hair that would continually cause damage, as well as new hair growth that gets treated, a permanent solution would not require take home treatments and as frequent reapplication.

It seems pretty clever from a product development point of view, however. These are all logical, valid points and not the least bit cynical.

Savvy consumerism is the intelligent way to go. I reached out to my german audience …. Olaplex hair treatment was used on my hair by my hairdresser and unfortunately it is now in the worst condition it has ever been! My hair was only done 1 week ago and everyday since then it feels greasy, dirty, very fine. It is also full on split ends and is snapping also in the middle of the shaft. It will not style and when you run your hand through it the hair sticks up as though it is greasy.

Oh I am so upset about it, I have always looked after my hair, if I had researched it first I would not have had it used on my, but I trusted my hairdresser of 5 years! Now I have another hairdresser trying to find a rescue remedy for me. Please let me know, did you get your hair sorted? Hair sounds the exact same as yours. Is the Olaplex permanent, will it wash out eventually? I would love to know the outcome and what worked? I had Olaplex yesterday, as part of my conditioning blowout.

The first and last time, I will go anywhere near this product. The result was terrible…. It left my hair dry, dull, frizzy and damaged looking. I use Iden Bee Propolis Silkshine.. These comments blow my mind!

Was it put on your hair dry? Left in then step 2 put over step 1? I would be more than happy to speak with your stylist directly and help troubleshoot as Olaplex itself is not going to dry hair out. Feel free to email me at [email protected]. My hair has been on a colour lap of victory this last year, bleached blonde to pink, to copper to brunette and now, thanks to Olaplex back to bleach blonde. This is all down to Olaplex used in the bleach and then at home treatment used every week.

Professional Hair Dresser with strong color and texture experience. I use and endorse Olaplex whole hardily, never had such great consistent results. There is a method of use and application. But just like other services that suffer ill results at the hands of uneducated practitioners, Olaplex is not exempt.

If you are taking away from the hair, you need to put back what you take. Just a small example: Your Color retouch can be performed without Olaplex, But the shaft and ends of the hair can be treated with Olaplex to repair and hold color longer. However, if you add the history of what you might do to the hair at home, previous chemicals and cheap harsh products you may subject it too. Then you would need to Olaplex 2 o 3 times a week. The 3 Olaplex treatment is for home maintenance. Bismaleimidoethoxyethane crosslinkers have been used in other industries for some time, and they do form stable thioether crosslinks that are not cleaved by reducing agents, and hair coloring is not a reducing process.

The reaction is very specific to pH 6. Since oxidative haircoloring is performed at a pH well above pH 8. The atomic weight seems to be about amu. Most haircolor ingredients are below amu. I question how this can penetrate into the cortex and fix the bond? Basically, the whole system works just as an intense conditioner to give you less damage when coloring and nothing more. Are the linkers in those other processes Michael acceptors, or do the thioethers form by some other mechanism?

I only tried Olaplex once and will never use it again. It dried out my hair and left the ends frizzy and horrible looking. I applied tons of serum as soon as I got home, to add shine and moisture back to my hair.

And snipped the ends off, because they looked so bad. I was so upset that I even canceled the date, I had planned for that evening.. Dry, frizzy and damaged looking. Not the usual sleek, shiny results achieved using a regular conditioning treatment as part of my blowout…. Enough reviews have mentioned similar results as mine. To at the very least serve as a warning… If it dries your hair, like it did mine.. My advise is to never use it again and risk even further damage..

I can only hope that applying a ton of serum has helped to halt the damage the Olaplex caused…. I had an Olaplex treatment done towards the end of last year My hair was medium-dark brown salon dyed and I wanted to lighten the ends. A little back story — I did some hair modeling up until 4 years ago, and my hair was always extremely healthy, even with the harshest bleach my hair always looked and felt very healthy. D-day came and I went in for the treatment, the hairdresser put the Olaplex in for what felt like a very long time.

After a wash and a blow dry I saw the disaster that is now my hair. I am absolutely heartbroken and I have warned everyone I know who was planning on going for the Olaplex treatment to stay away!
