Welcome to LovelySkin.com.
One of the claims to fame of hair care line OLAPLEX is its unique ability to repair damaged hair, leaving you with hair that looks healthier, softer and shinier. If your hair has become damaged over time—either from chemical treatments or daily styling—OLAPLEX products are meant for you. However, this hair repair collection has nearly a dozen products to choose from, so it can be hard to know where to begin. To help guide you on the start of your hair repair journey, we’ll answer some frequently asked questions, including:
OLAPLEX’s hair care products contain bond-building technology that are designed to help repair damaged strands with every use. Whether your hair has been damaged from heat styling, chemical relaxers, hair color, sun exposure or even the daily stresses of brushing or combing, OLAPLEX products can help repair your hair by strengthening the broken disulfide bonds in each strand.
The key patented ingredient that repairs these broken bonds is called bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate. “Damaged disulfide bonds in your hair can result in frizz, dryness and split ends,” says board-certified dermatologist and LovelySkin CEO Dr. Joel Schlessinger. “This bond-building technology actually works on a molecular level to repair broken bonds and improve the appearance and health of damaged hair.”
Are you ready to give your damaged hair some reprieve? Here are the five best OLAPLEX products for damaged hair.
We know the numbers might be a little confusing here, but stay with us! Though this hair product is named No. 0, it’s actually the first step in a two-part pre-shampoo treatment with the second step being No. 3. OLAPLEX No. 0 is a spray-on hair primer, and its job is to prepare damaged hair for intense repair. It actually contains the highest concentration of bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate out of all the products in OLAPLEX’s home hair care line. The bottle’s spray nozzle delivers a targeted stream of product to quickly and thoroughly saturate dry hair. Depending on the density and length of your hair, each bottle should last you for about three to six applications.
This creamy hair treatment is OLAPLEX No. 0’s other half. In addition to OLAPLEX’s key ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, this formula also contains aloe leaf juice, jojoba seed oil and panthenol (a derivative of vitamin B5) to infuse damaged hair with much-needed moisture. After you’ve sprayed your dry hair with No. 0, you’re ready to apply the No. 3 Hair Perfector from roots to ends. After a ten-minute wait for the treatment to process, it’s time to shampoo and condition. When used together with OLAPLEX No. 0, the No. 3 treatment is clinically proven to leave your hair three times stronger than it was pre-treatment. You can use No. 1 and No. 3 once per week, or even up to three times a week if your hair is very damaged.
If blow-drying, flat-ironing or styling with a curling iron is part of your weekly routine, this is one the best OLAPLEX products for your damaged hair. No. 6 Bond Smoother is a leave-in treatment that helps smooth, condition and strengthen your strands with bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate as well as dimethicone, sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, coconut oil and vitamin E. In addition to helping tame flyaways and frizz, it also helps speed up your blow dry time. For days when you don’t heat style, you can also use No. 6 to provide frizz protection and soft definition when you air dry your hair as well.
If your hair feels dry and is falling flat, OLAPLEX No. 8 is one of the best products for damaged hair that’s lacking body. This once-weekly mask helps enhance your hair’s body and shine. It also contains a fleet of nourishing botanical ingredients—meadowfoam seed oil, rosehip seed extract, rice bran oil—along with ceramides to provide an intense dose of moisture to dry hair. In a consumer test, 94% of users reported this mask gave their hair more body, and in a clinical study, this product left hair looking twice as shiny and six times as smooth.
If your strands are looking dull and tangle easily, this nourishing hair serum is one of the best OLAPLEX products to add to your hair care regimen. Just as an antioxidant face serum can help prevent and correct signs of skin damage, this concentrated hair serum helps protect your hair from daily damage with antioxidant-packed red algae extract and corrects existing damage with bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate. With every application, it also acts as a heat shield to protect your hair during heat styling up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lastly, if you’ve noticed your hair doesn’t retain its style as well as it used to, this bond-building serum can also help improve manageability and style memory.
