I'm going to take a shot here and defend the Revolution line. I would LOVE to be able to afford the Olaplex products but I just cannot do that. I've got a family to feed and a mortgage to pay. I'm really grateful for the companies out there who try to make things more affordable for people like me. I know it won't be the exact same thing and that's ok because it's close enough for me until I can one day afford the real deal.
The cheapest “plex” in the drugstore is Schwarzkopf’s “omega Plex” line of shampoo/conditioner/leave in, it goes on sale regularly. A step up would be the Tony and Guy “plex” line, which also goes on sale routinely. Idk why people think revolution is ripping of Olaplex, when plex has become short-hand for “re-bonding” and doesn’t reference olaplex itself.
I agree totally with you. The price of olaplex is disgusting. And it's nice that companies understand that we all don't have stupid amounts of money to spend on ourselves. Some of us have to put bills and kids first. 🤣 I wouldn't call is a rip of company!
@@kristinabryan3529 I tend to find that these have really good reviews, peppered with a few really terrible ones. Maybe try a strand for a few weeks and see if there's a difference. I tend to use the strand just behind the right ear, as it's easily hidden and my scalp is most sensitive there, so I cam gauge reactions of both my hair and scalp.
While I am not interested in trying the Revolution line, I absolutely love your reviews. It is highly noticeable how much work you put into your channel and we all end up the more educated for it. Thank you!!
Curlsmith's Bond Salve is amazing for hair repair. You don't need to have wavy or curly hair to use it and you get much more product in comparison to Olaplex.
FYI DSM is a Dutch company that amongst many other things produces raw materials/ingredients for the cosmetic industry. I'm Dutch and I worked at the laboratory of a cosmetics company many years ago and I remember them to be on of our raw materials suppliers... At school where I studied chemistry we had the opportunity to do an internship at DSM. They have large laboratories where the develope all kinds of raw materials for the food, health and beauty industry....
ive been searching for this precise video high and low since the revolution line came out. i should have known abbey would come through for me, no one i trust more with my haircare💆🏼♀️
My favorite thing about you Abbey is your integrity. This day and age so many people who have a platform are just paid to read a speech. When I watch your videos I know I am always going to hear your honest opinion. I have tried so many of your recommended products and have loved them. A huge thank you! 😊
Thank you Abbey. You really have been a lifesaver for my salon damaged hair( stylist colored it orange) I’m trying to use clarifying shampoos , once in a while, different shampoos and splurging olaplex 3, leave in repair, the oil and hair mask . I’ve also cut down on washing my hair to 2 t a week. Love your content🌸🌸
I love your videos. They are informative, clear, and practical. I have been using Olaplex 3, 6,7,8 for a few months. I also only rarely use the bond smoother. I use it only when I over do the styling products. It almost instantly softens the hardness or crunchy feelings from too much hold. I agree with you about the shine and glossing. I also am noticing that my curly hair is less puffy and almost frizz free. I skipped an olaplex treatment like you did in this video and also did not get the same result. I started mixing the moisture mask, 8 with 3 in my pre shampoo treatment and am getting even better results. My hair is also becoming less dry, smoother, with more defined and separated curls!
Love your reviews to bits! You're some of the few non-nonsense channels where real work is put on breaking down all the facts. This review is so helpful! I'm very curious about the Revox Plex. Do you have any plan to review that line? It would be great if you can compare that line too. Great job girl, thank you for the effort you put 💙
I've heard that the inkey list pca bond repair has similar effects to olaplex because the technology behind it also repairs disulfide bonds. the format is different as it's a spray on product that you dont wash out but this is actually more convenient to use for me x
I just used the shampoo and conditioner for the first time yesterday and my hair has never felt as soft as it did!! I feel like it made my hair feel dry while in the shower and I thought the conditioner wasn’t as thick as I thought it would be BUT after my usual blow dry routine my hair felt SO soft!! I’m very happy with it after just 1 use. If anyone is wondering I have fine thin hair and not a lot of hair either. My scalp felt very clean doesn’t look greasy even on day 2 and my scalp starts to look greasy by day 2 I got mine from target which made it even better!!
How strange I’ve been using this also have fine hair, I’ve found it’s really dried my hair out, felt stripped while washing it, was also super knotty while brushing. Funny you say about greasy hair too as my hair gets greasy very fast by the 2-3 day mark but I’ve noticed when using this it’s almost after a day. Weird how it effects people different!
@@ally4503 I do know what you mean about it drying out your hair, I love this shampoo and conditioner but as a once a week type of shampoo. If I use it more than once a week my hair won’t feel as soft. Pretty weird honestly because if i use it once a week it keeps my hair nice and soft but more than that and my hair starts to feel dry.
I’ve been using Olaplex for just over a year now and it’s going to take something super special to come along to change that. It truly transformed my hair overnight.
@@laurieclarkson9180 gosh, good question. Umm probably no 6, the bond smoother, which is the styling cream, as that I put in before I style and I also add some in between washes if my hair looks a bit fluffy. And obviously that stays in the hair and doesn’t get rinsed out, so I feel like it’s doing good all the time, if that makes sense. My hair was in a terrible state in Dec 2020, so much so that I was going to the hairdressers and getting it all cut off. I’d found pictures of short styles and was prepared for the lot too go. My hairdresser said don’t be hasty, try this first. So I did buy the complete range (and not from her, so it wasn’t that she saw me and was rubbing her hand together with £ signs in her eyes), but literally after just the very first use my hair was noticeably better. It was quite miraculous. And I got to keep my long hair.
I always appreciate your reviews! Your hair must be just like mine because everything you love.. I love!! I damaged my hair be walking 7 miles a day last summer and the sun lightened and wrecked my colored hair. If you could tell me a way to get major sun protection in my hair for this summer, I’d be very grateful. 💜 Maybe a video about what the sun can do to our hair and how we NEED to protect it.
You absolutely have done the best and most detailed review of it this product and how it differs from Olaplex. I just bought the flex product line and will be starting it tomorrow. I have very thin hair that falls out very easy due to thyroid disease and it’s very brittle so I’m very curious to see how this will work with my hair.
Revolution has come quite far. They started dupes from the urban decay pallets, tarte concealers and what not, then skincare and ripped off the ordinary and now olapex. Whats next? Cartier?🤣🤣
its not a dupe at all! Olaplex is not a protein treatment and revolution's line are all protein treatments! Its not a true bonding treatment! Yes protein treatments also need to be done anda re amzing but olaplex is unique!
@Kay Forbey They moved on to fragrance a long while ago. They have dupes for so many of the most popular fragrances now. LVEB, Black Opium, Flowerbomb etc.
I use Olaplex 4,5 and 6. No. 6 makes my hair look much better because it handles frizz better than any other product I've tried. I let my hair air dry and it looks good when dry. The Olaplex shampoo is especially amazing to me. It cleans my hair well and coats my hair with the bond ingredients.
I use living proof PHD- I added the Revolution conditioner to my living proof conditioner mixed them together and then used the revolution styling creme that made a huge difference
Love this! Always love how you break everything down for us. I would love to know what you think of the Philip Kingsley line; especially their Elasticizer. I've found I like it heaps more than Olaplex No.3 and just does more for my hair not just in repairing, but also in preventing further damage. Also, I was extremely stoked that FabFitFun had Amika's The Kure Bond Repair Shampoo & Conditioner as a choice product. 👏😆 I picked them up, so I'm excited to incorporate them into my routine. I'm honestly inspired by you and a few other select influencers to start my own channel. So thank you for being a kick ass human being! 🙌 Always looking forward to your next video. 😊✌💚
I am not a regular viewer but I’ve seen enough videos of yours to recognize you. I was shocked when I opened this particular video. I can’t believe how fantastic you look with your hair shorter. You look at least ten years younger. Just stunning.
Love your reviews. I'm finishing up my Olaplex and also using K18 but when I'm finished with my Olaplex I will probably just use K18 but might try this shampoo or conditioner. I have very fine thin hair.
I have tried both Olaplex and the Revolution dupe. For my hair, the Revolution products works best. My hair feels amazing and looks much better than ever. And they're affordable which is a bonus!
I know I'm a little bit late, but I would like to ask what your hair type is. Does your hair get greasy quickly and do you think it would work for frizzy hair?
@@hanna_wtr hey, yes my hair gets greasy very quickly. I have fine wavy hair but a lot of it and it can get frizzy. The revolution products are great for the price compared to the cost of Olaplex. Hope they work for you ❤️ xx
So what? Every new product gets copied. I am a devoted Olaplex 3 customer, but the price is just too high. I have used the revolution 3 once, but I loved it…my fine wavy hair is much more conditioned and curly…time will tell if I love it as much as Olaplex.
Tbh, Olaplex makes my head itch…revolution did not. I’m not sure if that makes it stronger, but I will keep using this in order to really compare to Olaplex which I have used for years.
Abby thank you so much for this thorough, detailed and fair review! I absolutely love your channel ❤ it makes Me laugh how similar my hair is to yours, I think iv said before... I have booty length, highlighted, snarly tangley hair which is thick but fine... meaning the hair is fine but there's loads of it lol 😆 😅 and I just want to say a massive thank you as you have totally changed my hair game babe! Anything that works for your hair honestly works for mine! Il be sticking with Olaplex hun... Lots of love Tia ❤ 😍
Olaplex has really helped my hair. I use some of the products every other wash to help save money. I bleach blond my hair and get comments on how healthy it looks. Washing it once a week helps too.
I tried Olaplex. It was in the salon last time I went. Biggest waste of money. It did nothing for me. Just because a product is 'exclusive' or expensive does not mean it works well for everyone. I will try the revolution product. It may work for me.
True. Just because something is expensive or exclusive like you said doesn’t mean it’s going to work. I don’t see a difference with Olaplex. I also didn’t see a difference with the K18 product that also claims it’s a dupe for Olaplex but it’s very pricy.
I have platinum blonde hair that needed help. I used the entire Olaplex system for over two years with only moderate improvement I tried the Amika system and the Redken acidic bonding system and had amazing results with both of these. Lots moisture and shine which the Olaplex system never attained
My friend is platinum. She said her sneaky secret was a finger of blue nivea before blow drying and to rub coconut oil through before washing to save her protein. She also said use purple conditioners not shampoos as they are always sls based and break her hair
Thank you for the comparison. I currently use Olaplex and feel the need to try Revolutions version- as you said- to find out for myself. I’ve ordered the set and now we wait. Btw- I absolutely love your eye look today !!
@@AbbeyYung Hey Abbey. Have you heard of the Creme of Nature Plex Breakage Defense line at Sally’s? There are reviews but not many direct comparisons between it and Olaplex. I was wondering if you’d be interested in trying it.
I still think u should give CurlSmith Bond Salve a try it’s really good and I like the Biolage one I forget the name but it’s like rice protein and moisture I love that one too.
Have you tried the Redken Acidic Concentration line? An Ulta employee told me that a creator on Olaplex left the company and went to Redken. She said they recreated the Olaplex formula but stronger. She said since it's stronger you can use it less often. Redken system is a shampoo, conditioner and leave in treatment. They are $30 each. Shampoo is 10oz versus Olaplex 3oz bottle for $28. I've been using Redken and enjoy. Your thoughts?
I think if your hair isn’t super damaged, and you can’t afford olaplex, the revolution bondplex is a nice alternative. I have long, healthy, virgin hair though. I’m just using it to keep my hair as healthy as possible so I can grow it out more. As a college student I just can’t afford olaplex, but I can’t afford to get my hair professionally colored either. My mom does have damaged hair from lightening it and loves and swears by the original olaplex.
As always, thank you for the time stamps! I think my hair needs a break -- I am well into the initial loading period for K18, and it's taken all the texture, willingness to hold style out of my already style-resistant, pretty healthy hair. I never noticed Olaplex doing anything. I don't know that I'm the target audience for many of these -- minimally processed, healthy, style-resistant, never frizzy -- but I still want my hair as healthy as possible; for it to want to do anything, I think my cuticles need a bit of imperfect lifting. I think I may just stick to clarifying and Amika Kure, which I love.
Judging from your hair description, you aren't at all the hair type these damage repair formulas are made for and that's a good thing lol 😄 you would likely receive more favorable results just maintaining the healthy hair that you already have. That being said, I don't think it is harmful to experiment with repair products. If you color or highlight incorporating something like olaplex into your routine is likely a good thing. K18 is nice for that because applications are infrequent after the initial few uses. If you find a product is making the hair less manageable I'd discontinue that particular product but if your enjoying it and your hair responds favorably then it's all good ❤️
@@queenkoi Elizabeth -- thank you for your advice. I agree 100%. I am 2 wash cycles now away from K18. It's not that I don't get split ends, but my hair is naturally extremely slippy. If Abbey's is super tangly, mine is its mirror image. I'm at a place now where I can't even keep a hair tie in it without crushing it to smithereens. I want to keep it optimally healthy, so I've given these things a shot!!
Question: what is your midweek hair/ conditioning routine??? :D Not everything can be duped. I am loyal to Olaplex b/c I see results. Thanks for another great video!
Do you think you can do a video how to use olaplex #3 with k18? I'm on my 2nd week of k18 and curious if I can use olaplex with it! Love all your videos 💗💗💗
How high is the perfume fragrance level in the Revolution? It is in the middle of the ingredient deck. Thanks for being a fan of wash less - less damage club.
Schwarzkopf has a really good bond builder 2&3 as well as Goldwell, Wella and just about every other pro brand! I just started this video so am curious how this stuff works
There's also Wellaplex, although not a dupe a slightly cheaper alternative to Olaplex. I really love Olaplex 3 and 6, I don't think anything will replace those as they are my HG hair products that I can't live without
Hi Abbey. I might give it a shot. My hair is in good shape since all the lockdowns. I stopped coloring, and seldom use any heat, at all. I’ve been using the Loreal Everpure you recommended and it’s now a favorite. So, thank you!
I've been using Olaplex for about a year or so now because of hair damage that stemmed from thyroid issues. I want to switch to a different shampoo and I've been binging on your UA-cam videos. I have thin to medium hair that's mostly straight but does have some natural wave when I let it air dry. I'm trying to decide between the Redken Acidic Bond Concentrate and the Pureology Strength Cure. Do you have a recommendation? I just feel like my hair is way too used to the Olaplex and it feels dry and flat to me. Thanks Abbey!
Hi curious what your take is on an ingredient being banned in one of their products #3 olaplex and their response getting banned in Europe….love your channel
Hi Abby, I love your videos. I've been watching them since I messed up my long brown hair. This has nothing to do with the video, but can you do a research and review on Robson Peluquero's products for elastic, over processed, bleached hair ?
I like the Olaplex line as it leaves my hair very soft, however, it leaves my hair very flat. I need volume and can’t yet achieve it with products. Any advice as to try?
Could you please do a review of Monat? Getting really mixed reviews and a couple of people I know sell it, so I'm intrigued! Especially the hair oil🙏 but it is expensive
Abby!! Does the Revolution version 4&5 smell the same as the Olaplex? The scent (grapefruity) is what keeps me from using it daily… I hate grapefruit!!
Would love a video reviewing Briogeo's new "Rice Water Protein + Moisture Treatment". I know you have had bad experiences in the past with rice water, but this weekly treatment is purported to deliver the perfect protein and moisture balance. Because I struggle with maintaining a balance between protein and moisture in my haircare, I would really appreciate your thoughts on whether using this product would help resolve this dilemma.
@@Jenroxy2 I only wash my hair once a week! The directions say to use it for 4-6 washes in a row. I did that for 4 weeks and now I use it every few weeks!
Could you do a video on how you blowdry your hair please? I use all of the Olaplex products but My hair gets greasy within 1-2 days 😭 I don’t know if I’m not drying my hair properly which makes it more greasy or something
I just boxed dyed my hair and I used this conditioner omg my hair has never felt better. I I’m using L’Oréal sulfate free shampoo. But i think im switching going to buy the shampoo too.
I have the #3 dupe. I like it fine. I alternate using this with the Olaplex to make it last longer. I don’t believe the claims the dupe makes nor does the Olaplex meet all of its claims, so…My hair feels about the same after I use both.
I like the price point for the amount of product you get but with Plex number 6 i find when i’m rinsing out the product my hair is extremely tangly and dry.. i always have to follow up with a heavy deep conditioner to feta gel with a brush.. i never have to do that with Olaplex so it’s quite annoying..
Have you heard of ph plex, it's a 2 step product that you use like olaplex 1 & 2 in bleach or also as a stand alone treatment. I have used them on occasion when I couldn't get olaplex 1&2 and found step 1 seems to work just as good but step 2 isn't much different than any other after bleach/color treatment.
I'm going to take a shot here and defend the Revolution line. I would LOVE to be able to afford the Olaplex products but I just cannot do that. I've got a family to feed and a mortgage to pay. I'm really grateful for the companies out there who try to make things more affordable for people like me.

Me too
MOST BRANDS have “plex” labeled ingredients, it’s become synonymous/shorthand for “re-bonding”. It’s weird to single out revolution for it.
well this one is even copying the marketing and packaging, with having it in numbered steps. a lot of them just have a conditioner or something
So what? Every new product gets copied. I am a devoted Olaplex 3 customer, but the price is just too high. I have used the revolution 3 once, but I loved it…my fine wavy hair is much more conditioned and curly…time will tell if I love it as much as Olaplex.
Tbh, Olaplex makes my head itch…revolution did not. I’m not sure if that makes it stronger, but I will keep using this in order to really compare to Olaplex which I have used for years.
I completely agree! So many brands, and even high-end ones, copy each other and it happens in every industry - fashion, car, pharmacy etc.
@@Katrn30What's the verdict? Does it really compare to the Olaplex equivalent?
Abby thank you so much for this thorough, detailed and fair review!
I absolutely love your channel ❤ it makes Me laugh how similar my hair is to yours, I think iv said before... I have booty length, highlighted, snarly tangley hair which is thick but fine... meaning the hair is fine but there's loads of it lol 😆 😅 and I just want to say a massive thank you as you have totally changed my hair game babe! Anything that works for your hair honestly works for mine!
Il be sticking with Olaplex hun...
Lots of love Tia ❤ 😍
😍 hair twins!! ❤️
Please review the dove hair care line!! I really love the 7 in 1 miracle mist
I LOVE your hairstyle in this video. I'm really struggling for day 3 & 4 hairstyles that are cute and easy. I'd love to know how you do it.
Olaplex has really helped my hair. I use some of the products every other wash to help save money. I bleach blond my hair and get comments on how healthy it looks. Washing it once a week helps too.
I tried Olaplex. It was in the salon last time I went. Biggest waste of money. It did nothing for me. Just because a product is 'exclusive' or expensive does not mean it works well for everyone. I will try the revolution product. It may work for me.
True. Just because something is expensive or exclusive like you said doesn’t mean it’s going to work. I don’t see a difference with Olaplex. I also didn’t see a difference with the K18 product that also claims it’s a dupe for Olaplex but it’s very pricy.
Did you try it? Did it work?
I have platinum blonde hair that needed help. I used the entire Olaplex system for over two years with only moderate improvement I tried the Amika system and the Redken acidic bonding system and had amazing results with both of these. Lots moisture and shine which the Olaplex system never attained
Redken acidic bonding transformed my hair from a big frizz ball to tame and pretty waves !!! I loved it so much
Redken is insane. Been using it since I was ten years old. CAT is amazing
My friend is platinum. She said her sneaky secret was a finger of blue nivea before blow drying and to rub coconut oil through before washing to save her protein. She also said use purple conditioners not shampoos as they are always sls based and break her hair
@@lexijones8019 what's cat?
but redken is also pretty expensive.
Your hair is so cute!!
Thank you for the comparison. I currently use Olaplex and feel the need to try Revolutions version- as you said- to find out for myself. I’ve ordered the set and now we wait.
Btw- I absolutely love your eye look today !!
Thank you 🥰
@@AbbeyYung Hey Abbey. Have you heard of the Creme of Nature Plex Breakage Defense line at Sally’s? There are reviews but not many direct comparisons between it and Olaplex. I was wondering if you’d be interested in trying it.
Love your hair style!
I still think u should give CurlSmith Bond Salve a try it’s really good and I like the Biolage one I forget the name but it’s like rice protein and moisture I love that one too.
Have you tried the Redken Acidic Concentration line? An Ulta employee told me that a creator on Olaplex left the company and went to Redken. She said they recreated the Olaplex formula but stronger. She said since it's stronger you can use it less often. Redken system is a shampoo, conditioner and leave in treatment. They are $30 each. Shampoo is 10oz versus Olaplex 3oz bottle for $28. I've been using Redken and enjoy. Your thoughts?
Love your make today!
abbey! i was wondering if you've heard of and/or tried the new Hairitage Big Flex Bonding Pre-Treatment??
I think if your hair isn’t super damaged, and you can’t afford olaplex, the revolution bondplex is a nice alternative. I have long, healthy, virgin hair though. I’m just using it to keep my hair as healthy as possible so I can grow it out more. As a college student I just can’t afford olaplex, but I can’t afford to get my hair professionally colored either. My mom does have damaged hair from lightening it and loves and swears by the original olaplex.
Hey Abbey! Could you do a review of the ordinary shampoo and conditioner pleaseeee
I'm dying for you to try the new rice water conditioner from Briogeo
As always, thank you for the time stamps! I think my hair needs a break -- I am well into the initial loading period for K18, and it's taken all the texture, willingness to hold style out of my already style-resistant, pretty healthy hair. I never noticed Olaplex doing anything. I don't know that I'm the target audience for many of these -- minimally processed, healthy, style-resistant, never frizzy -- but I still want my hair as healthy as possible; for it to want to do anything, I think my cuticles need a bit of imperfect lifting. I think I may just stick to clarifying and Amika Kure, which I love.
Judging from your hair description, you aren't at all the hair type these damage repair formulas are made for and that's a good thing lol 😄 you would likely receive more favorable results just maintaining the healthy hair that you already have. That being said, I don't think it is harmful to experiment with repair products. If you color or highlight incorporating something like olaplex into your routine is likely a good thing. K18 is nice for that because applications are infrequent after the initial few uses.
If you find a product is making the hair less manageable I'd discontinue that particular product but if your enjoying it and your hair responds favorably then it's all good ❤️
@@queenkoi Elizabeth -- thank you for your advice. I agree 100%. I am 2 wash cycles now away from K18. It's not that I don't get split ends, but my hair is naturally extremely slippy. If Abbey's is super tangly, mine is its mirror image. I'm at a place now where I can't even keep a hair tie in it without crushing it to smithereens. I want to keep it optimally healthy, so I've given these things a shot!!
Where did you purchase your sweater? The proportions and color are perfect. It looks lightweight yet high-quality.
Brought these today on offer £6 each!! Excited to try after seeing your review
Question: what is your midweek hair/ conditioning routine??? :D
Not everything can be duped. I am loyal to Olaplex b/c I see results. Thanks for another great video!
Do you think you can do a video how to use olaplex #3 with k18? I'm on my 2nd week of k18 and curious if I can use olaplex with it! Love all your videos 💗💗💗
Could you do a review on GeorgiaMane haircare line?! Promising amazing results and would love your take!
How high is the perfume fragrance level in the Revolution? It is in the middle of the ingredient deck. Thanks for being a fan of wash less - less damage club.
Could you please review Coco and Eve hair care line? Thank you
Have you ever tried or reviewed eleven haircare Australia? My hairstylist loves it and I wanted to see if you had any thoughts! ❤️
Schwarzkopf has a really good bond builder 2&3 as well as Goldwell, Wella and just about every other pro brand! I just started this video so am curious how this stuff works
Could you do a review on the #8 oil from revolution? Thank you for the through review!
I have to thank you..I used revolution..it is very very good ..made my her like silk !!
I don't believe skincare and haircare 'dupes', but really enjoy your reviews❤️
I am really curious if Revolution has a lower ph compared to Olaplex
There's also Wellaplex, although not a dupe a slightly cheaper alternative to Olaplex. I really love Olaplex 3 and 6, I don't think anything will replace those as they are my HG hair products that I can't live without
I love Wells’s bonder!
Hi Abbey. I might give it a shot. My hair is in good shape since all the lockdowns. I stopped coloring, and seldom use any heat, at all.
I’ve been using the Loreal Everpure you recommended and it’s now a favorite.
So, thank you!
Yay I’m so glad you’re liking everpure!
Hi Lizbet that set makes me happy too. Thanks to Abby. Have a good day.
They don’t even try to hide it, it’s crazy 😂 Great video, Abbey!!
I've been using Olaplex for about a year or so now because of hair damage that stemmed from thyroid issues. I want to switch to a different shampoo and I've been binging on your UA-cam videos. I have thin to medium hair that's mostly straight but does have some natural wave when I let it air dry. I'm trying to decide between the Redken Acidic Bond Concentrate and the Pureology Strength Cure. Do you have a recommendation? I just feel like my hair is way too used to the Olaplex and it feels dry and flat to me. Thanks Abbey!
Hi curious what your take is on an ingredient being banned in one of their products #3 olaplex and their response getting banned in Europe….love your channel
Hi Abby, I love your videos. I've been watching them since I messed up my long brown hair. This has nothing to do with the video, but can you do a research and review on Robson Peluquero's products for elastic, over processed, bleached hair ?
I like the Olaplex line as it leaves my hair very soft, however, it leaves my hair very flat. I need volume and can’t yet achieve it with products. Any advice as to try?
Twist by Ouidad has a new bond repair + mask product. Looks pretty promising!
Try a tangle teezer to detangle your hair. It's so gentle.
Could you please do a review of Monat? Getting really mixed reviews and a couple of people I know sell it, so I'm intrigued! Especially the hair oil🙏 but it is expensive
My jaw dropped at the name “Plex” …. Are they for real 👁👄👁
Abby!! Does the Revolution version 4&5 smell the same as the Olaplex? The scent (grapefruity) is what keeps me from using it daily… I hate grapefruit!!
My favorite hair on you, too cute!
Hey can you review there deep clean shampoos and conditioner as I have really greasy hair and I want to try it out
Your hair style is so cute…
Have you ever used Nioxin or aveda aventi?
Would love a video reviewing Briogeo's new "Rice Water Protein + Moisture Treatment". I know you have had bad experiences in the past with rice water, but this weekly treatment is purported to deliver the perfect protein and moisture balance. Because I struggle with maintaining a balance between protein and moisture in my haircare, I would really appreciate your thoughts on whether using this product would help resolve this dilemma.
I’m doing 6 weeks of K18! I’m on week 3 now and I’m very impressed. I’ll go back to olaplax after I finish this 6 week process!
Is this k18 a treatment that is used every time you wash your hair?
@@Jenroxy2 I only wash my
hair once a week! The directions say to use it for 4-6 washes in a row. I did that for 4 weeks and now I use it every few weeks!
Is Plex ph balanced? I know you said that Olaplex shampoo is not ph balanced.
What do you think of the Virtue line of hair care products?
Is there a certain brand of nail polish and top coat that won’t chip?
I may be the only guy on your channel but love your vids! Use Olaplex now even though I barely have any hair lol
I love it! All are welcome here 😎
Could you do a video on how you blowdry your hair please? I use all of the Olaplex products but My hair gets greasy within 1-2 days 😭 I don’t know if I’m not drying my hair properly which makes it more greasy or something
Abbey you look so extra cute today!!!
I just boxed dyed my hair and I used this conditioner omg my hair has never felt better. I I’m using L’Oréal sulfate free shampoo. But i think im switching going to buy the shampoo too.
I have the #3 dupe. I like it fine. I alternate using this with the Olaplex to make it last longer. I don’t believe the claims the dupe makes nor does the Olaplex meet all of its claims, so…My hair feels about the same after I use both.
Please try the line Boldplex and the number 3 product!!! :D
The secret to olaplex is their conditioning agent but any haircare conditioner with a polyquat works fine for me.
You read my mind... I wanted you to review this
Hi!
I like the price point for the amount of product you get but with Plex number 6 i find when i’m rinsing out the product my hair is extremely tangly and dry.. i always have to follow up with a heavy deep conditioner to feta gel with a brush.. i never have to do that with Olaplex so it’s quite annoying..
Have you heard of ph plex, it's a 2 step product that you use like olaplex 1 & 2 in bleach or also as a stand alone treatment. I have used them on occasion when I couldn't get olaplex 1&2 and found step 1 seems to work just as good but step 2 isn't much different than any other after bleach/color treatment.
Soo, do other brands have actual bond repair like Olaplex?
