Dramatic changes for me too. Try Olaplaex 1 and 2. You can get the "Traveling Stylist Kit" on Amazon or Overstock and it has one bottle of Olaplaex 1 and two bottles of Olaplaex 2. In my last treatment I applied Olaplaex 1 and left it in for 10 minutes and then worked Olaplaex 2 in on top of that and left in for 30 more minutes. I learned that process from olaplex.com. No heat necessary. Fabulous treatment. I usually use just the 2. I have 3 but I don't use it much since I discovered 1 and 2.
Just had my hair relaxed again after 3 years natural. My stylist added Olaplex No. 1 to the relaxer and used No. 2 during the wash out phase. This stuff is a game changer! I used to relax consistently when I was younger and my hair has never felt this healthy after a relaxer. It's silky and soft and I am just so happy. It was expensive (an additional $60 on top of the relaxer) but I would never do a virgin relaxer again without it. Olaplex is the bomb!
I started using Olaplex no1 and no 2 on relaxer day, adding no 1 to the relaxer as per the instructions on the Olaplex website then no 2 after neutralizing, my stylists says she notices a difference during application. I use no 3, and the rest of the line(shampoo,conditioner and leave in). My last touch up was in January and I had been noticing more shedding. Now that I'm being consistent with using Olaplex for a month now (before I'd use it when I remembered) AND doing rollersets under a hooded dryer and not flat ironing except for the newgrowth if I'm wearing my hair down, I notice less shedding, and my hair feels stronger and its elasticity has improved. Oh and I recommend Redken extreme CAT for a protein treatment, and redken anti snap for a leave in. I've also been using Kerastase Resistance line(shampoo, mssk and serum and I like it)
What type of hairdryer are you using?. My hairdryer doesn't dry my hair any longer because it's long. Also what type of rollers are you using. I've been using magnetic for years. I think that might be part of the problem. But I need a heavy duty hairdryer. Let me know if you know of one. Thanks
So, honestly, I spent the last 4 weeks depressed cause my overprocessed relaxed earlobe length hair was shedding beyond belief. I decided to try step 1 and 2 Olaplex 2 weeks ago and saw much improvement. Then, a week later, I used the #3 before shampooing. I followed up with Keracare Humecto and have seen a significant improvement. Honestly, I wish I knew about this sooner. Going forward, I will continue to use before each wash, especially in the winter when my hair is super dry and fragile. 😘
DivaDlux121 That’s awesome! I’m so glad you found something that works for you! Just to be safe, do some research to see if you should be using Olaplex weekly for long periods of time, ok? Take care and thanks for watching!
DivaDlux121 Did the Olaplex 3 make your relaxed hair slightly back to normal as in not being as relaxed before using it? I want my hair soft and moisturized after relaxing it, but I’m worried it’ll make my hair slightly un-relaxed after.
Hey all! I started using this product due to a UA-cam recommendation/tutorial from another UA-camr. During the pandemic (which we aren’t out of here in the US as of this writing), I decided to go for my “COVID Color” and take my naturally dark, curly hair to platinum blonde. (I know some of you are cringing already.) It took me some time to work up the nerve to finally color my hair-even after extensive research and having purchased all the products. First time turned out great. Second time? I suffered breakage and I noticed when I combed my hair that there were amounts coming out-even as a man with short hair I didn’t want to be bald. No bueno. I stumbled upon a hair bleaching video that touted Olaplex #3. I broke down and bought it. BEST DECISION EVER! My local store only charged $28, but that’s still expensive. My hair is back to being as soft as it was before (even with bleaching-which I’ll stop soon) and when I come my curls through, I’m not seeing lots of hair in the teeth of the comb. I plan to continue to use this product and even told my boyfriend (who likes to use all my stuff) NOT to use this at all since it costs so much. Btw, I usually leave it on for 30 minutes and I follow-up with the Aphogee Reconstructer after shampooing-which I leave on for AT LEAST 10 minutes.
Thank You for this little gem!!! I’ve used O3 twice now and let me tell you, this is the FIRST product I have tried on my hair where I can honestly say, there was a huge noticeable difference with the very first application. I have very weak and damaged relaxed hair, and this product is definitely salvaging the perceived unsalvageable. I know it’s pricey (and trust, I am not happy about that!), But definitely worth it if you have stressed or chemically treated hair that needs some TLC. My only pet peeve is that I can only get my hands on the more potent No.1 and No.2 formula if I go to a salon (which I choose not to do for various reasons). I wouldn’t trust the authenticity of those bottles from Amazon🤷🏾♀️
Love, love, Love Olaplex. It stopped my shedding and breakage with the very first use. Almost no hair in the drain on wash day. No additional split ends (nothing permanently seals already split ends). I was stunned! I use Olaplex, moisturizing shampoo and instant conditioner then Aphogee 2 minute protein. I’m a flat ironed natural and my hair is like “butta”. I get 4 or 5 uses out of the bottle. Olaplex is truly my holy grail product!
I am trying to transition from relaxed to natural without doing ANOTHER big chop. My hair was breaking off even when I simply just touched it! So discouraging. I came across your channel and you list tons of great products specifically for my problem and I am sooooo grateful! My hair is doing so much better!
I have subscribed to so many natural hair channel for my daughter. I don't have any for relaxed channels for myself. I am so happy I found you. Even better you cover more then hair so I'm even more happier. I'm based in London UK and can never find all the products you get in Canada and USA (truly frustrating)! I'm thoroughly enjoying your clips. My hair is thick and corse and can be hard to retain length plus having 2 children has destroyed my hair specifically my edges. In the words of Annie "I think I'm gonna like here!"
Belle Kay Awwww! Babe! I’m so glad we found each other! It’s too bad that you can’t find the products across the pond. That is frustrating. Maybe you should come visit! I hear that a lot - that pregnancy changes your hair. My pregnant girlfriend’s hair had gotten thicker and she’s worried about it thinning out afterwards. Sigh. The human body is a bit of a crazy thing! Anyways - glad to have you enjoying my little corner of the internet! Much love! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm really loving your corner it's soooo cosy. Pregnancy was great my hair was fabulously luscious especially while pregnant with my daughter. I love Canada, I spent 6 weeks there in my teens during in the summer with family. I didn't want to come back to England. I will definitely return with my family one day. Found most of the products you recommend on Amazon. Just hope they are genuine. I currently use Mizani and have done for many years. I buy the products from my hairdresser who I trust. I feel a change is required. Stay beautiful and blessed! Have a great week!
For me investing 30-38 dolls on a product is a big one, in Nigeria that's approximately 18,000 -23,000. That's like half of my monthly salary. I really enjoyed this video but I will do more research so I don't regret it. Thanks for providing this information. I definitely love your glasses!!!
That review was fantastic Dominique, thanks for the video. In my opinion you're a glam woman with a lot of style so I think you can attend some events with your bun, it looks sophisticated so you don't have to wear you hair down and use too much heat, just choose the right clothes that go well with your bun, just try it, you look great and people will love it.
I started using Olaplex No. 3 three weeks ago. Fantastic results, my hair stopped breaking after the first use. Great product, will keep in my weekly routine.
I definitely need to get this. Im tired of my hair shedding! Im bob length and have been naturally for 6-7 months, it looks the same length all this time because it sheds so much and I buy cheap products! Im going into ulta for high end products tomorrow. You get what you pay for
My favorite protein go to is by Redken. Their CAT line is great. I use extreme cat protien spray after I shampoo. It's a powerful treatment; I leave it in for like five minutes. Then after I condition I use the cat anti snap before I blow dry. It works great at keeping the strength in my hair. I use the protein spray only once a month and I use anti snap after every wash :)
Thank you for your review and walk through your experience with olaplex. I just started using olaplex last week after getting a hair cut, I use two times a week and tomorrow will be the third use of no. 3. I have noticed since using olaplex, my hair is more manageable when brushing and use very soft to touch. You are very beautiful and positive that I needed to see what you thought of olaplex especially because your hair is straight. Keep up with the great vids.
I just bought Olaplex 3 and I love it!! Sephora will get my money. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny. My hair feels great. Paired with the Hair La Vie vitamins.
If you care about the science behind it, watch labmuffin's video on olaplex. She has a PhD in chemistry and she breaks down the chemical processes behind olaplex.
I just ordered Olaplex 1,2 &3. I'm so excited to try it! I have relaxed extremely high porosity hair. My hair breaks like spider webs. I'm finally taking the plunge after researching it for a few weeks.
I was natural for about 7 years until the maintenance needed for a fro of that size just became impractical. I made the decision to relax again but I knew I had to do something different if I didn't want to incur the breakage that inevitably comes with chemical processing. One night I was watching Guy Tang (because oooh pretty colors lol) and I noticed that he RAAAAVED about olaplex in every video. He would bleach the living shit out of some of these girl's heads and somehow they'd always come out the other end of it looking great. I'd never heard of olaplex before so I did a bit of research on what it was and its claims. I really liked the idea that it was a protein rebuilder more than an actual protein treatment but I really did NOT like the pricetag. It's DUMB expensive. Somewhere in the ballpark of $300 expensive. But I was a dog with a bone now and I had to try it for myself. There were fortunately travel sized kits available for sale online which, tho also still dumb expensive, were at a more manageable price point. So I purchased the full kit with all of the steps which was around $70 I think. I wanted to start my new relaxed hair journey with the best odds possible and mitigate any damage as best I could right out of the gate. So around July of 2018 I (with the help of my angel of a mother) applied a virgin relaxer treatment. I bought a salon grade mild relaxer off amazon because I didn't wanna go bone straight; I still wanted texture to my hair and the results came out looking more like a texturizer than a straight perm. Which was fine by me. After washing and neutralizing, I did the full olaplex treatment, deep conditioned and flat ironed. My hair had never felt that good. I had virtually zero shedding or breakage throughout conditioning/styling. My strands felt strong and silky soft. I'd planned to, and I still do, stretch my relaxers, so olaplex is awesome for reinforcing that line of demarcation, quelling breakage and keeping your ends in tip top shape. It's been the better part of a year since I applied the virgin relaxer and my hair is at a nice full midback length now when flatironed (I'm shooting for tailbone length) and for the first time in my hair journey I feel that my goal length might actually be reached in the next year or so. So yes, it's pricey af. But it really does work wonders so I consider it $ well spent. If you already have good Black hair care practices, olaplex is literally the cheat code for relaxed hair. I'd encourage anyone to save your pennies and invest in the full system, you won't regret it. 🖤 Pro Tip: Don't use this treatment with high heat a la a heating cap or steamer, high heat actually degrades the protein bonding process and makes it less effective, all you need to do is make sure that you thoroughly work each step's product through your strands and don't shortcut on the times for each product given in the directions (exceeding the suggested times is a good thing in this case as it actually allows the product more time to work). Also, there's no need to be heavy handed with the product, a little goes a long way! I get about 4-5 applications out of the travel sized kit and I have a LOT of hair.
OliveSaysLove Olive - I cannot thank you enough for this informative and thorough comment! You’ve convinced me to go ahead and buy more, including the shampoo and conditioner! Thanks also for letting me know that s little goes a long way. I was thinking that maybe I used too much. Lol! And thanks also for the tip about not using high heat with Olaplex. I did not know that!! Really happy you are reaching your hair goals. Good for you!!!
I always thought that you needed some heat to open the hair cuticle, so that the product can be absorbed?Not disagreeing with OliveSaysLove, but I known when you heat protein in your food supply that theory is true. You will kill some of the nutrients (I don't know about you but I'm not eating a cow when it 'mooing' so it's gonna be damn near burnt, so I'm okay with less nutrients in my protein), but in the case as it applies to protein for the hair - Dunno?? (*scratches head*). Dom, this sounds like a question for Gloria?
Olaplex 1 is the main treatment olaplex 3 is just a maintenance for olaplex 1. Like when you have a keratin treatment you have a mask that maintains the keratin till it fades away. The difference here is that Olaplex is not a protein but focus on the hair bonds.
I've used it for the past 2 weeks. I loved it. My rollersets were bomb lol I plan to use it every week I don't do protein, which is about every other week for me.
Corine, no need to do anymore treatments for a while. That can lead to protein overload. Once the disulfide bonds in the hair has been restored, anything more will cause the strands to break. Wait for a few months then re-introduce (and only if your hair needs it!). It is much harder to recover from protein overload than it is moisture overload.
Got my hair braided and it tore out my edges and I'm feeling so said. My hair has been breaking and is so thin dull and lifeless. Think I might buy this
I always do a protein wash day with my AG products before a flat iron. I also use aphogee products for protein on a regular basis. I had a setback 2yrs ago from pure laziness but I've since upgraded all my products to salon and make sure I wash & deep condition weekly and I feel like it made a huge difference. Thanks for this review, there aren't many relaxed hair reviews on this product. I definitely plan on trying it this summer. 💜
That's great, Kalisha! I noticed the same - not too many relaxed hair/Olaplex reviews. Why are you waiting until the summer to try Olaplex? Just curious...
@@StyleDomination Mainly because I just recently purchased a lot of stuff. ULTA had their liter sale (33.8oz sizes were anywhere between $14.99 & $19.99) and then Joico was bogo half off right after that so needless to say I have a lot of products, lol. Also I live in Fl so summer comes early here and by then I'll be ready to try something new. 💜
Olaplex No2 is a more concentrated version and magical. I almost feel like the treatment is so good at repair that my relaxed hair gains it’s natural wave again!
That product is a miracle!! I leave it overnight it has repaired my hair when it was bleached and colored ash blond for several years, now colored back black I keep using it, by the 3 treatment it look like virgin jet black hair silky and bouncy. Purchase at Sephora for $28. Now they made a bigger size for $56.
Y'all I purchased this along with the bond maintenance shampoo and conditioner. It made my hair sooooo soft. Like from dry brittle and breaking to soft and shiny. I still need a trim and only used it once so I'm still seeing shedding but I'm going to use once a week for a month to see if I can save my hair without a big chop. If you have money to spare buy it!!!
My hairdresser is a wizard and she uses this on all of us! After my relaxers, I get it done every other week for a month afterward. No breakage and my hair is so soft! I can only get #1 & #2 from her since you need to have a license to buy it but it is well worth it. If you can get your hands on #1 & #2 you will be truly pleased :)
@@narrington7453 Hi, she is not :( I live in the D.C. area. Although I lived in New York and I found a ton of great hair stylist options via Instagram!
@@gemruby41 Hi, my hair dresser does an assessment at every appointment for about a month or two after my relaxer. She will determine if I need it or not based on the state of my hair. But I suppose you could! I have the at home kit and I will do a treatment at the very least once a month to keep it healthy!
Im glad people r getring put on to olaplex for relaxed hair ... The moment the product came out .. I was like wow perfect .. But there wanst much info online for relaxed people unless u understannd thr science behind it ...been using it for years
I saw the Olaplex No. 3 in Sephora today but could not justify the $28 for that small bottle. You are the second person I've seen use it so maybe I will try it.
Im going to try this but I'm sticking to the instructions to the T and see how that works first. Especially being my first time using it. It's when you deviate from instructions you start running into issues a hair stylist told me.
I have been seeing a lot of reviews on this product, I know for sure that one UA-camr uses it and the name is withLove-lisa I'm not sure what volume it is but I do know she uses it oh, this would be a great investment for relaxed hair, your hair is beautiful and it looks full oh, thank you ever so kindly God bless you🙏❤
Just make you to use a deep conditioner and leave it in for at least 15-30 after. Don't just slap some deep conditioner on your head, comb it through and wash it out 5 minutes later...make sure it get into the follicles by applying heat (whether with a hooded dryer or steamer or intense body heat). Protein damage is devastating!
Liam Smith Yes sir! I always leave my deep conditioner on forever anyways. In the summer, I’ll slather my hair in it, wrap it up in a plastic bag, put on a hat and go for a run! Lol! I look crazy but my hair will look amazing afterwards! 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Just bought Olaplex No.3, can't wait to try it on my next wash day! I'm looking to bounce back from my latest set back/big trim with nice and healthy hair :)
Thank you for this video. What does Olaplex smell like? I've been hearing a lot about Olaplex 3 but never really understood what the heck it is. Now I know! I first have to say I've been watching your videos for roughly 6 months. Because if your tips and tricks I was able to grow my pixie cut neck length which is a major accomplishment. My hair never grew past my ears in almost 10 years! I did however suffer a major setback and lost most of my edges and nape last month so I had to start over. I believe it was due to stress. So I went on UA-cam and came across the rice water challenge. I've done it twice so far and I'm having excellent results in hair growth. Maybe I'll invest in Olaplex once I get back to neck length.
Mercedes Gilligan Hi Mercedes! Olaplex smells really great! Kinda flowery. Very subtle and pretty. I’m so sorry to read about your setback. How sad! I’m glad the rice water is helping. I’m seeing it everywhere! I’m really happy my tips are helping you. Keep watching, girl, and stay in touch!
I think Olaplex is a protein treatment with added moisturizers like the oils, if it repairs the di-sulphur bonds of the hair. I wouldnt add anymore, too soon.
It's not a protein treatment. You should watch labmuffin's video on olaplex, she has a PhD im chemistry and she breaks down the science behind it. It does not add protein to the hair but it uses a chemical that can penetrate your hair follicle to link disulfide bonds back together (bleaching and relaxing breaks and weakens your disulfide bonds). Her video explains it much better than me.
Hi. Yes had a set back, i used olaplex 3 it's amazing. Now I use 4 is shampoo and 5 conditioner very good products. My hair is very dry.. protein deep conditioner to vary my routine. Love videos.
My hair was in a mess last year when I tried the Brazilian blowout so after a while it started cutting off. A friend introduced me to olaplex and this product saved my hair. The breakage stopped and it got smooth and soft. Olaplex is the best also number 4 and 5 that just came out conditioner and shampoo love them
I don’t really rate the Elasticiser. Really didn’t make any difference in my hair. I find that Phyto hair products work best for me. Shame because I really wanted to love Philip Kingsley.
S A Yeah sure . I have high porosity hair type so need that protein boost. I use their Phytokératine Extréme Exceptional Mask, this tends to stop shedding for me in an instant and makes my hair feel super soft and very lightweight. They have a pre poo too that I alternate for ultra dry hair called PhytoElixir. To ensure my hair stays moisturised after styling and on a daily I used either Phyto 7 or Phyto 9 depending on how dry my hair feels. I deal with their Baobab oil, which gives great sheen as well as locking in the moisture without making the hair look greasy and leaves that flow and movement. When I feel my hair is overrun with product build up I use their detox shampoo but I also use their one for coloured hair as I dye mine to cover my pesky greys. Hope that helps any. Best of luck on your hair care journey.
Hi Porschea! I totally forgot to add the lipstick colour to the description box! I meant to! It's Tom Ford "Adora". Here's a link to it: shopstyle.it/l/Zrqf
I know an excellent protein treatment that you can use weekly! It a light protein conditioner by ORS. Have you heard of this product called, "ORS Replenishing Conditioner?" It is really good for relaxed hair!!! I use it once a week. I use it because I don't want to use a heavy protein treatment. Because, my hair isn't damaged or weak from using chemicals. Plus, my hair doesn't like too much protein. It likes moisture more. You can the ORS Replenishing Conditioner at Sally's as well.
Thanks Dominique, never heard of Olaplex until I saw your video.. I have bought Olaplex 4,5,6,7 had my first tried this week.. I hope it will help my hair.Thanks
@Black Chynas hello, my hair look and feel thicker and stronger definitely more resistant... I would say keep using the product consistently.. best wishes
If ya'll know a licensed hairdresser or nail tech or someone licensed that can buy this for you, see if they will. There is an 8.5 oz bottle of the product that's sold to beauticians and other techs, and the cost is just $28.00.
Hope you're still taking comments on this video, but I have really long permed hair and just looking for solutions for damage. Have you used it after a perm, like perm your hair, don't shampoo, then use it before shampooing? Thanks.
@nalini's world hi there! I am one of your subbies! Anyhoo, I believe, per one of the other comments, you should use a clarifying shampoo first, towel dry your hair well, then apply the olapex, leave it on for 10 min, or longer if you like and then proceed with your normal shampoo and conditioning routine... I think that may answer your question 🤷🏾♀️
I remember when you could only by that at hair salons (there is a one and two that is supposed to be only used in salons). It's funny how things are sold only in special stores and then they end up everywhere. I also loves Mo Knows Hair; if I ever decide to go natural, I will use her as my guide.
lpgilber Me too! I remember when only hair stylists had access to it and they made it sound so “oh - you have to be trained to use it”. Hahaha! Thanks for watching, babe!
Can you do a video on how you do the "wash and go bun". Would you say your hair is high or low porosity? My hair is high porosity but tends to be a bit protein sensitive. This makes it hard to figure out what I should be using on my hair. Does anyone have any advice??? Btw, Great video. Hi Reese!!
I know someone who applied Olaplex No. 3 to her bleached hair, then a virgin relaxer, rinsed the relaxer, neutralized, applied No. 3 again for 15 mins., proceeded with the remaining Olaplex products and did not lose hair with the bleached virgin relaxer. She had been natural for many years. I'm not trying it (LOL) but if anyone here does please let me know. 😊
Thanks for reviewing this product. I've been curious about it as i have relaxed hair as well. This sounds like a good protein treatment for post relaxer re-touches. I can be protein sensitive so I'm not sure how it will turn out on my hair
Olaplex 3 is now on QVC as a special you get 8 oz. For $39. Not sure how long this special will be on this is the first time they have had it .just sayin
Hello. I was wondering if you used olaplex on your new growth and how did the relaxer tale on your next relaxer? Because i did and my relaxer didnt take wich led to a lot of breakage...i do relax my self because in my area (brussels) there is no good hair stylist... What would you recommand? Go for a stronger relaxer or increase the time i leave my relaxer on? Thank you very much and than you for the review
I don’t believe there’s paraben or sulfates in it. I just started using 3 and 4. The salon I went to damaged my hair with watered down relaxer. My hair is strong and still butt length but it’s gotten extremely thin and excessive tangles. Just horrible. Anyways I’m going to continue with 3 and 4. But I’m also looking for a leave in conditioner, I blowdry my hair on low heat but I don’t use curling or flat irons. I think simplicity has always been best for me..
Fab as always Dom! Set back you say? how much tie do you have? The most recent one was protein over load which quickly became moisture overload when I tried to reverse it (sigh! its a never ending cycle). Well, my 2 staples that helped me recover is the TGIN Honey mask for my deep conditions and the nexus polymedic emergency reconstructor (its a protein treatment but NOT the cause of the 'original' protein overload set), + a proper trim! Also ladies, a roller set can be you friend (I swear! she can be just as cute as a 'flat iron'). This is my routine and my hair is bouncy and healthy. You just have to get over the initial 'church lady curls', when you first take out the rollers, but after a nice wrap and few hours later and WHA-LA!!!!!.....ua-cam.com/video/mjcAwLhyZn8/v-deo.htmlThanks for another great video! xoxo
Liam Smith Liam - you’re the best. I always look forward to your comments! Lol! For years, I did roller sets and my hair thrived! I just didn’t like the look! I ended up looking kinda granny-ish and I could never “tame” the massive volume! Lol! I also love the TGIN Honey Mask! I was using that too a lot a couple of years ago during the summer when I was washing and going (a lot). I have some lying around somewhere. I should dig it out. Ok - I’m also going to look out for the Nexus stuff you’re suggesting. Sounds amazing! 😉😉😉
My hair is not real damaged. I only flat ironed once....with a couple touch ups for 2 weeks. But now I see split ends😢 would this product be too harsh for my hair or good to use?
I have it. It didn’t make much difference to my hair at all. Maybe because it’s not really damaged. It just likes to shed from the root. 😩. Which is worse. Yeah you can use Olaplex more sparingly they just want you to buy it again sooner.

This product is absolutely magical, I've seen dramatic changes in my hair since using Olaplex 3.
Dramatic changes for me too. Try Olaplaex 1 and 2. You can get the "Traveling Stylist Kit" on Amazon or Overstock and it has one bottle of Olaplaex 1 and two bottles of Olaplaex 2. In my last treatment I applied Olaplaex 1 and left it in for 10 minutes and then worked Olaplaex 2 in on top of that and left in for 30 more minutes. I learned that process from olaplex.com. No heat necessary. Fabulous treatment. I usually use just the 2. I have 3 but I don't use it much since I discovered 1 and 2.
Just had my hair relaxed again after 3 years natural. My stylist added Olaplex No. 1 to the relaxer and used No. 2 during the wash out phase. This stuff is a game changer! I used to relax consistently when I was younger and my hair has never felt this healthy after a relaxer. It's silky and soft and I am just so happy. It was expensive (an additional $60 on top of the relaxer) but I would never do a virgin relaxer again without it. Olaplex is the bomb!
I started using Olaplex no1 and no 2 on relaxer day, adding no 1 to the relaxer as per the instructions on the Olaplex website then no 2 after neutralizing, my stylists says she notices a difference during application. I use no 3, and the rest of the line(shampoo,conditioner and leave in). My last touch up was in January and I had been noticing more shedding. Now that I'm being consistent with using Olaplex for a month now (before I'd use it when I remembered) AND doing rollersets under a hooded dryer and not flat ironing except for the newgrowth if I'm wearing my hair down, I notice less shedding, and my hair feels stronger and its elasticity has improved. Oh and I recommend Redken extreme CAT for a protein treatment, and redken anti snap for a leave in. I've also been using Kerastase Resistance line(shampoo, mssk and serum and I like it)
Just to u

What type of hairdryer are you using?. My hairdryer doesn't dry my hair any longer because it's long. Also what type of rollers are you using. I've been using magnetic for years. I think that might be part of the problem. But I need a heavy duty hairdryer. Let me know if you know of one.
Thanks
So, honestly, I spent the last 4 weeks depressed cause my overprocessed relaxed earlobe length hair was shedding beyond belief. I decided to try step 1 and 2 Olaplex 2 weeks ago and saw much improvement. Then, a week later, I used the #3 before shampooing. I followed up with Keracare Humecto and have seen a significant improvement. Honestly, I wish I knew about this sooner. Going forward, I will continue to use before each wash, especially in the winter when my hair is super dry and fragile. 😘
DivaDlux121 That’s awesome! I’m so glad you found something that works for you! Just to be safe, do some research to see if you should be using Olaplex weekly for long periods of time, ok? Take care and thanks for watching!
DivaDlux121 Did the Olaplex 3 make your relaxed hair slightly back to normal as in not being as relaxed before using it? I want my hair soft and moisturized after relaxing it, but I’m worried it’ll make my hair slightly un-relaxed after.
How often do you use the system
Hey all! I started using this product due to a UA-cam recommendation/tutorial from another UA-camr. During the pandemic (which we aren’t out of here in the US as of this writing), I decided to go for my “COVID Color” and take my naturally dark, curly hair to platinum blonde. (I know some of you are cringing already.) It took me some time to work up the nerve to finally color my hair-even after extensive research and having purchased all the products. First time turned out great. Second time? I suffered breakage and I noticed when I combed my hair that there were amounts coming out-even as a man with short hair I didn’t want to be bald. No bueno. I stumbled upon a hair bleaching video that touted Olaplex #3. I broke down and bought it. BEST DECISION EVER! My local store only charged $28, but that’s still expensive. My hair is back to being as soft as it was before (even with bleaching-which I’ll stop soon) and when I come my curls through, I’m not seeing lots of hair in the teeth of the comb. I plan to continue to use this product and even told my boyfriend (who likes to use all my stuff) NOT to use this at all since it costs so much. Btw, I usually leave it on for 30 minutes and I follow-up with the Aphogee Reconstructer after shampooing-which I leave on for AT LEAST 10 minutes.
I love your accent , very classy.
As a French speaking , i practice my english repeating after you
It's a Canadian accent, very simply.
@@m.munroe9506 Eeehhh?
There's no difference between a Canadian and American accent lol. Actually thought she was the latter initially.
Thank You for this little gem!!! I’ve used O3 twice now and let me tell you, this is the FIRST product I have tried on my hair where I can honestly say, there was a huge noticeable difference with the very first application. I have very weak and damaged relaxed hair, and this product is definitely salvaging the perceived unsalvageable. I know it’s pricey (and trust, I am not happy about that!), But definitely worth it if you have stressed or chemically treated hair that needs some TLC. My only pet peeve is that I can only get my hands on the more potent No.1 and No.2 formula if I go to a salon (which I choose not to do for various reasons). I wouldn’t trust the authenticity of those bottles from Amazon🤷🏾♀️
Ulta beauty & Sally's carries it.
thank u R Mobley!
Love, love, Love Olaplex. It stopped my shedding and breakage with the very first use. Almost no hair in the drain on wash day. No additional split ends (nothing permanently seals already split ends). I was stunned! I use Olaplex, moisturizing shampoo and instant conditioner then Aphogee 2 minute protein. I’m a flat ironed natural and my hair is like “butta”. I get 4 or 5 uses out of the bottle. Olaplex is truly my holy grail product!
BrokerKaren Ahhh Karen! That’s great! So happy it worked for you. I have to get some Aphogee too!
Alia Alia Oooh. Not sure. I have no experience with hennaed hair. 🤷🏾♀️
I am trying to transition from relaxed to natural without doing ANOTHER big chop. My hair was breaking off even when I simply just touched it! So discouraging. I came across your channel and you list tons of great products specifically for my problem and I am sooooo grateful! My hair is doing so much better!
I have subscribed to so many natural hair channel for my daughter. I don't have any for relaxed channels for myself. I am so happy I found you. Even better you cover more then hair so I'm even more happier. I'm based in London UK and can never find all the products you get in Canada and USA (truly frustrating)! I'm thoroughly enjoying your clips. My hair is thick and corse and can be hard to retain length plus having 2 children has destroyed my hair specifically my edges.
In the words of Annie "I think I'm gonna like here!"
Belle Kay Awwww! Babe! I’m so glad we found each other! It’s too bad that you can’t find the products across the pond. That is frustrating. Maybe you should come visit! I hear that a lot - that pregnancy changes your hair. My pregnant girlfriend’s hair had gotten thicker and she’s worried about it thinning out afterwards. Sigh. The human body is a bit of a crazy thing! Anyways - glad to have you enjoying my little corner of the internet! Much love! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm really loving your corner it's soooo cosy.
Pregnancy was great my hair was fabulously luscious especially while pregnant with my daughter. I love Canada, I spent 6 weeks there in my teens during in the summer with family. I didn't want to come back to England. I will definitely return with my family one day.
Found most of the products you recommend on Amazon. Just hope they are genuine. I currently use Mizani and have done for many years. I buy the products from my hairdresser who I trust. I feel a change is required.
Stay beautiful and blessed! Have a great week!
For me investing 30-38 dolls on a product is a big one, in Nigeria that's approximately 18,000 -23,000. That's like half of my monthly salary. I really enjoyed this video but I will do more research so I don't regret it. Thanks for providing this information. I definitely love your glasses!!!
Hi Adeola - thank you!
That review was fantastic Dominique, thanks for the video. In my opinion you're a glam woman with a lot of style so I think you can attend some events with your bun, it looks sophisticated so you don't have to wear you hair down and use too much heat, just choose the right clothes that go well with your bun, just try it, you look great and people will love it.
JA C SA You’re welcome! So glad you enjoyed it and, J - that is the best advice I’ve received in a while. Will do!!! And thank you for watching ❤️❤️❤️
I like to use Joico Reconstructor. It has really turned my damaged relaxed hair around.
I have this product! I should dig it out!
@@StyleDomination can you compare olaplex with the reconstructor?
I started using Olaplex No. 3 three weeks ago. Fantastic results, my hair stopped breaking after the first use. Great product, will keep in my weekly routine.
Donna Anthony That’s so great, Donna!! I’m adding it to my routine too!!!
I use Olaplex 3 twice already and I loveeeee it. Planning to try the shampoo and the conditioner. Olaplex 3 help me a lot after a heat damage
What exactly does it do? I have a free sample
I definitely need to get this. Im tired of my hair shedding! Im bob length and have been naturally for 6-7 months, it looks the same length all this time because it sheds so much and I buy cheap products! Im going into ulta for high end products tomorrow. You get what you pay for
My favorite protein go to is by Redken. Their CAT line is great. I use extreme cat protien spray after I shampoo. It's a powerful treatment; I leave it in for like five minutes. Then after I condition I use the cat anti snap before I blow dry. It works great at keeping the strength in my hair. I use the protein spray only once a month and I use anti snap after every wash :)
Thank you for your review and walk through your experience with olaplex. I just started using olaplex last week after getting a hair cut, I use two times a week and tomorrow will be the third use of no. 3. I have noticed since using olaplex, my hair is more manageable when brushing and use very soft to touch. You are very beautiful and positive that I needed to see what you thought of olaplex especially because your hair is straight. Keep up with the great vids.
I just bought Olaplex 3 and I love it!! Sephora will get my money. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny. My hair feels great. Paired with the Hair La Vie vitamins.
I frequent Sephora for almost everything and have been wondering about this brand and how to use it on relaxed hair. Thanks so much for sharing
The comments are more helpful than the workers at cosmoprof 😂 She told me to checkout YT 😂🤣💀
Thanks y’all! ☺️
Your hair will be back to normal in no time! I’m going to try Olaplex as well! Great video sis 😘😘
If you care about the science behind it, watch labmuffin's video on olaplex. She has a PhD in chemistry and she breaks down the chemical processes behind olaplex.
bbappzz98 DEFINITELY care!!! Thank you for this!
Used affirm relaxer system and olaplex after the neutralizer - no 3 then shampoo mask conditioner . Virtually no hair loss or breakage. ❤
I just ordered Olaplex 1,2 &3. I'm so excited to try it! I have relaxed extremely high porosity hair. My hair breaks like spider webs. I'm finally taking the plunge after researching it for a few weeks.
Hi Charlotte, how did you get to to order Olaplex 1, 2? Are you licensed, I would love to purchase them but i haven't found a way.
How did it it work? I'm high porosity as well.
I love olaplex been using it since last year. It definitely does what it says it will do.
Don't you love it when products actually work? LOL!
I was natural for about 7 years until the maintenance needed for a fro of that size just became impractical. I made the decision to relax again but I knew I had to do something different if I didn't want to incur the breakage that inevitably comes with chemical processing. One night I was watching Guy Tang (because oooh pretty colors lol) and I noticed that he RAAAAVED about olaplex in every video. He would bleach the living shit out of some of these girl's heads and somehow they'd always come out the other end of it looking great. I'd never heard of olaplex before so I did a bit of research on what it was and its claims. I really liked the idea that it was a protein rebuilder more than an actual protein treatment but I really did NOT like the pricetag. It's DUMB expensive. Somewhere in the ballpark of $300 expensive. But I was a dog with a bone now and I had to try it for myself. There were fortunately travel sized kits available for sale online which, tho also still dumb expensive, were at a more manageable price point. So I purchased the full kit with all of the steps which was around $70 I think.
I wanted to start my new relaxed hair journey with the best odds possible and mitigate any damage as best I could right out of the gate. So around July of 2018 I (with the help of my angel of a mother) applied a virgin relaxer treatment. I bought a salon grade mild relaxer off amazon because I didn't wanna go bone straight; I still wanted texture to my hair and the results came out looking more like a texturizer than a straight perm. Which was fine by me. After washing and neutralizing, I did the full olaplex treatment, deep conditioned and flat ironed. My hair had never felt that good. I had virtually zero shedding or breakage throughout conditioning/styling. My strands felt strong and silky soft.
I'd planned to, and I still do, stretch my relaxers, so olaplex is awesome for reinforcing that line of demarcation, quelling breakage and keeping your ends in tip top shape. It's been the better part of a year since I applied the virgin relaxer and my hair is at a nice full midback length now when flatironed (I'm shooting for tailbone length) and for the first time in my hair journey I feel that my goal length might actually be reached in the next year or so.
So yes, it's pricey af. But it really does work wonders so I consider it $ well spent. If you already have good Black hair care practices, olaplex is literally the cheat code for relaxed hair. I'd encourage anyone to save your pennies and invest in the full system, you won't regret it. 🖤
Pro Tip: Don't use this treatment with high heat a la a heating cap or steamer, high heat actually degrades the protein bonding process and makes it less effective, all you need to do is make sure that you thoroughly work each step's product through your strands and don't shortcut on the times for each product given in the directions (exceeding the suggested times is a good thing in this case as it actually allows the product more time to work). Also, there's no need to be heavy handed with the product, a little goes a long way! I get about 4-5 applications out of the travel sized kit and I have a LOT of hair.
OliveSaysLove Olive - I cannot thank you enough for this informative and thorough comment! You’ve convinced me to go ahead and buy more, including the shampoo and conditioner!
Thanks also for letting me know that s little goes a long way. I was thinking that maybe I used too much. Lol!
And thanks also for the tip about not using high heat with Olaplex. I did not know that!! Really happy you are reaching your hair goals. Good for you!!!
I always thought that you needed some heat to open the hair cuticle, so that the product can be absorbed?Not disagreeing with OliveSaysLove, but I known when you heat protein in your food supply that theory is true. You will kill some of the nutrients (I don't know about you but I'm not eating a cow when it 'mooing' so it's gonna be damn near burnt, so I'm okay with less nutrients in my protein), but in the case as it applies to protein for the hair - Dunno?? (*scratches head*). Dom, this sounds like a question for Gloria?
How often do you use the treatment? Also did you do no. 1-3 or just no. 3?
Olaplex 1 is the main treatment olaplex 3 is just a maintenance for olaplex 1. Like when you have a keratin treatment you have a mask that maintains the keratin till it fades away. The difference here is that Olaplex is not a protein but focus on the hair bonds.
Really cool to watch a youtuber with my kind of hair. Helpful and entertaining. Try putting your hair in a cap during the process
I like how she has reviewed the product and I’m looking forward to trying this prior to meeting with my dermatologist
I've used it for the past 2 weeks. I loved it. My rollersets were bomb lol I plan to use it every week I don't do protein, which is about every other week for me.
Corine, no need to do anymore treatments for a while. That can lead to protein overload. Once the disulfide bonds in the hair has been restored, anything more will cause the strands to break. Wait for a few months then re-introduce (and only if your hair needs it!). It is much harder to recover from protein overload than it is moisture overload.
@@liamsmith3290 thanks for the tip 😄
Got my hair braided and it tore out my edges and I'm feeling so said. My hair has been breaking and is so thin dull and lifeless. Think I might buy this
I always do a protein wash day with my AG products before a flat iron. I also use aphogee products for protein on a regular basis. I had a setback 2yrs ago from pure laziness but I've since upgraded all my products to salon and make sure I wash & deep condition weekly and I feel like it made a huge difference. Thanks for this review, there aren't many relaxed hair reviews on this product. I definitely plan on trying it this summer. 💜
That's great, Kalisha! I noticed the same - not too many relaxed hair/Olaplex reviews. Why are you waiting until the summer to try Olaplex? Just curious...
@@StyleDomination Mainly because I just recently purchased a lot of stuff. ULTA had their liter sale (33.8oz sizes were anywhere between $14.99 & $19.99) and then Joico was bogo half off right after that so needless to say I have a lot of products, lol. Also I live in Fl so summer comes early here and by then I'll be ready to try something new. 💜
kalisha jones Ooooh! Gotcha! Th warm weather starts in May here. Sigh. Canada is so cold!!!
@@StyleDomination We've had our cool days but recently it's been 80 degrees and our hot weather usually starts up around march/april.
You are BEAUTIFUL. You are welcome. I have been looking for video like yours. Glad it popped out of my recommendations.
Off topic I know but you have amazing skin Dom, omg! Stay blessed and thanks for the informative video.💕🙂
Wow! Thank you so much, Helen!!! What a kind compliment!
The olaplex no 4 shampoo is great to use afterwards. I haven’t tried the conditioner yet. You only need a small amount.
Olaplex No2 is a more concentrated version and magical. I almost feel like the treatment is so good at repair that my relaxed hair gains it’s natural wave again!
That product is a miracle!! I leave it overnight it has repaired my hair when it was bleached and colored ash blond for several years, now colored back black I keep using it, by the 3 treatment it look like virgin jet black hair silky and bouncy. Purchase at Sephora for $28. Now they made a bigger size for $56.
In only concerned about the chemical fragrance and parfums. Does the smell stat in your hair or does it wash out easily?
Thank you for this video! I have been considering trying Olaplex because I’ve heard great things about it
Hi Ericka! You're so welcome! Go ahead and get yourself some Olaplex. I'm really happy with the results!
best part of this video is when you say "Hold on..." you quietly open the door behind you...and say "dog." 🥰loved that part!
Y'all I purchased this along with the bond maintenance shampoo and conditioner. It made my hair sooooo soft. Like from dry brittle and breaking to soft and shiny. I still need a trim and only used it once so I'm still seeing shedding but I'm going to use once a week for a month to see if I can save my hair without a big chop. If you have money to spare buy it!!!
My hairdresser is a wizard and she uses this on all of us! After my relaxers, I get it done every other week for a month afterward. No breakage and my hair is so soft! I can only get #1 & #2 from her since you need to have a license to buy it but it is well worth it. If you can get your hands on #1 & #2 you will be truly pleased :)
@Lisette Rossman Do you have the No 1 & No 2 done every 2 weeks?
Is your hairstylist in the NYC area?
@@narrington7453 Hi, she is not :( I live in the D.C. area. Although I lived in New York and I found a ton of great hair stylist options via Instagram!
@@gemruby41 Hi, my hair dresser does an assessment at every appointment for about a month or two after my relaxer. She will determine if I need it or not based on the state of my hair. But I suppose you could! I have the at home kit and I will do a treatment at the very least once a month to keep it healthy!
You can buy their products from the website. I get free shipping too. I use the olaplex 3.
Please try all of the olaplex line 0 through 8!
I promise you will be amazed!!!
Im glad people r getring put on to olaplex for relaxed hair ... The moment the product came out .. I was like wow perfect .. But there wanst much info online for relaxed people unless u understannd thr science behind it ...been using it for years
I saw the Olaplex No. 3 in Sephora today but could not justify the $28 for that small bottle. You are the second person I've seen use it so maybe I will try it.
I agree. Its too much!
Im going to try this but I'm sticking to the instructions to the T and see how that works first. Especially being my first time using it. It's when you deviate from instructions you start running into issues a hair stylist told me.
Olaplex is the truth!! Just started using it a month ago and it’s now a staple product.
I have been seeing a lot of reviews on this product, I know for sure that one UA-camr uses it and the name is withLove-lisa I'm not sure what volume it is but I do know she uses it oh, this would be a great investment for relaxed hair, your hair is beautiful and it looks full oh, thank you ever so kindly God bless you🙏❤
Sapphire relaxed hair Thanks, luv! Your hair is doing great, btw! Yes - I highly recommend this product!!!
I really want to give it a try! Thanks for the review!
Deidre D You’re welcome! xo
Olaplex actually almost undid the relaxing in my hair. It started curling again, but now it is only wavy, not curly.
😲
Oleplex leaves my natural hair very soft and strong.
I'm still giving apHogee a chance. Not sure if I am protein sensitive or not. Still testing my strands. Will give this a go soon too.
Just make you to use a deep conditioner and leave it in for at least 15-30 after. Don't just slap some deep conditioner on your head, comb it through and wash it out 5 minutes later...make sure it get into the follicles by applying heat (whether with a hooded dryer or steamer or intense body heat). Protein damage is devastating!
Lilmisskandi Let me know how it goes!
Liam Smith Yes sir! I always leave my deep conditioner on forever anyways. In the summer, I’ll slather my hair in it, wrap it up in a plastic bag, put on a hat and go for a run! Lol! I look crazy but my hair will look amazing afterwards! 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Liam is a masculine name I know, but I am a Ma'am babeeee! :)
Just bought Olaplex No.3, can't wait to try it on my next wash day! I'm looking to bounce back from my latest set back/big trim with nice and healthy hair :)
Girl I’ve been trying to find your review on Olaplex 3, found it 😊. The Gospel ❤❤
How do you achieve your bun? I'm really not good at doing hair. Love your channel by the way!
Love this video sis! This was so helpful!
Thank you for this video. What does Olaplex smell like? I've been hearing a lot about Olaplex 3 but never really understood what the heck it is. Now I know! I first have to say I've been watching your videos for roughly 6 months. Because if your tips and tricks I was able to grow my pixie cut neck length which is a major accomplishment. My hair never grew past my ears in almost 10 years! I did however suffer a major setback and lost most of my edges and nape last month so I had to start over. I believe it was due to stress. So I went on UA-cam and came across the rice water challenge. I've done it twice so far and I'm having excellent results in hair growth. Maybe I'll invest in Olaplex once I get back to neck length.
Mercedes Gilligan Hi Mercedes! Olaplex smells really great! Kinda flowery. Very subtle and pretty. I’m so sorry to read about your setback. How sad! I’m glad the rice water is helping. I’m seeing it everywhere! I’m really happy my tips are helping you. Keep watching, girl, and stay in touch!
I think Olaplex is a protein treatment with added moisturizers like the oils, if it repairs the di-sulphur bonds of the hair. I wouldnt add anymore, too soon.
It's not a protein treatment. You should watch labmuffin's video on olaplex, she has a PhD im chemistry and she breaks down the science behind it. It does not add protein to the hair but it uses a chemical that can penetrate your hair follicle to link disulfide bonds back together (bleaching and relaxing breaks and weakens your disulfide bonds). Her video explains it much better than me.
I've heard so many good things about Olaplex, I've got to try it out. Thanks for doing this video Dominique! Mo Knows Hair is really good to
Hi. Yes had a set back, i used olaplex 3 it's amazing. Now I use 4 is shampoo and 5 conditioner very good products. My hair is very dry.. protein deep conditioner to vary my routine. Love videos.
I love this product. It is worth every dollar.
I agree. So happy I finally got to try it!
My hair was in a mess last year when I tried the Brazilian blowout so after a while it started cutting off. A friend introduced me to olaplex and this product saved my hair. The breakage stopped and it got smooth and soft. Olaplex is the best also number 4 and 5 that just came out conditioner and shampoo love them
Hi babe! So funny - I was *just* on the Sephora website looking to order the shampoo and conditioner. Will do so now. Thanks for the recommendation!
I use Philip Kingsley Elasticizer Extreme. It saved my hair a few times
S A I’ll have to look this up!
I’ve used his product in the past and plan on getting more.
I don’t really rate the Elasticiser. Really didn’t make any difference in my hair. I find that Phyto hair products work best for me. Shame because I really wanted to love Philip Kingsley.
@@francescapowell1538 can you tell me which ones from Phyto are good?
S A Yeah sure . I have high porosity hair type so need that protein boost. I use their Phytokératine Extréme Exceptional Mask, this tends to stop shedding for me in an instant and makes my hair feel super soft and very lightweight.
They have a pre poo too that I alternate for ultra dry hair called PhytoElixir.
To ensure my hair stays moisturised after styling and on a daily I used either Phyto 7 or Phyto 9 depending on how dry my hair feels. I deal with their Baobab oil, which gives great sheen as well as locking in the moisture without making the hair look greasy and leaves that flow and movement.
When I feel my hair is overrun with product build up I use their detox shampoo but I also use their one for coloured hair as I dye mine to cover my pesky greys.
Hope that helps any.
Best of luck on your hair care journey.
Can I use olaplex right after a texturizer?
Please share what lip color you are wearing. It’s so pretty.
Hi Porschea! I totally forgot to add the lipstick colour to the description box! I meant to! It's Tom Ford "Adora". Here's a link to it: shopstyle.it/l/Zrqf
I know an excellent protein treatment that you can use weekly! It a light protein conditioner by ORS. Have you heard of this product called, "ORS Replenishing Conditioner?" It is really good for relaxed hair!!! I use it once a week. I use it because I don't want to use a heavy protein treatment. Because, my hair isn't damaged or weak from using chemicals. Plus, my hair doesn't like too much protein. It likes moisture more. You can the ORS Replenishing Conditioner at Sally's as well.
ShanDomi OMG. THANK YOU!!!!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@StyleDomination I'M SERIOUS!!!!!! YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!
It’s a conditioner- not even remotely the same
Thanks Dominique, never heard of Olaplex until I saw your video.. I have bought Olaplex 4,5,6,7 had my first tried this week.. I hope it will help my hair.Thanks
@Black Chynas hello, my hair look and feel thicker and stronger definitely more resistant... I would say keep using the product consistently.. best wishes
Hey hun, sorry I know it is 6 months, but how often do you use it? I am about to order a kit from it. Just started relaxing my hair.
Just ordered mine, can't wait to try!! Great video Thank You !
I would love to try it but it could be in a bigger bottle for that price! I will try it!
If ya'll know a licensed hairdresser or nail tech or someone licensed that can buy this for you, see if they will. There is an 8.5 oz bottle of the product that's sold to beauticians and other techs, and the cost is just $28.00.
I got mine from Amazon. I will buy it again.
Another terrific video! Your eyebrows look great btw.
Should this be used weekly? Also have you tried no. 4 & 5? The shampoo and conditioner?
I love your review of the product and can’t wait for your collaboration
Hope you're still taking comments on this video, but I have really long permed hair and just looking for solutions for damage. Have you used it after a perm, like perm your hair, don't shampoo, then use it before shampooing? Thanks.
@nalini's world hi there! I am one of your subbies! Anyhoo, I believe, per one of the other comments, you should use a clarifying shampoo first, towel dry your hair well, then apply the olapex, leave it on for 10 min, or longer if you like and then proceed with your normal shampoo and conditioning routine... I think that may answer your question 🤷🏾♀️
I remember when you could only by that at hair salons (there is a one and two that is supposed to be only used in salons). It's funny how things are sold only in special stores and then they end up everywhere. I also loves Mo Knows Hair; if I ever decide to go natural, I will use her as my guide.
lpgilber Me too! I remember when only hair stylists had access to it and they made it sound so “oh - you have to be trained to use it”. Hahaha! Thanks for watching, babe!
Can you do a video on how you do the "wash and go bun". Would you say your hair is high or low porosity? My hair is high porosity but tends to be a bit protein sensitive. This makes it hard to figure out what I should be using on my hair. Does anyone have any advice??? Btw, Great video. Hi Reese!!
I know someone who applied Olaplex No. 3 to her bleached hair, then a virgin relaxer, rinsed the relaxer, neutralized, applied No. 3 again for 15 mins., proceeded with the remaining Olaplex products and did not lose hair with the bleached virgin relaxer. She had been natural for many years. I'm not trying it (LOL) but if anyone here does please let me know. 😊
Oooof. I’m not risking that one.
@@StyleDomination Right... me either! 🤣
This video is so helpful. Thank you. You are very beautiful.
Thanks for reviewing this product. I've been curious about it as i have relaxed hair as well. This sounds like a good protein treatment for post relaxer re-touches. I can be protein sensitive so I'm not sure how it will turn out on my hair
There is no protein in Olaplex. It's a bond builder. NO. 3. I am sure you know by now. I hope your hair is flourishing.
hi dominique, do you have any recommendations for nape hair? im noticing some breakage in that area alone and don't know what i'm doing wrong
kissberrywish Are you getting wet each time you shower? I try to cover mine do it doesn’t get wet and dry out. That helps!
Thanks for the review... I’ve been seeing Olaplex around but wasn’t sure exactly how to use it. And I love Mo Knows Hair.
Olaplex 3 is now on QVC as a special you get 8 oz. For $39. Not sure how long this special will be on this is the first time they have had it .just sayin
YAY!!I KNOW YOU WOULD LIKE IT!!!!
v griffith Hahahahaha! Yes!!!
Hello. I was wondering if you used olaplex on your new growth and how did the relaxer tale on your next relaxer? Because i did and my relaxer didnt take wich led to a lot of breakage...i do relax my self because in my area (brussels) there is no good hair stylist...
What would you recommand? Go for a stronger relaxer or increase the time i leave my relaxer on?
Thank you very much and than you for the review
I really want to try this now thaanks for the review!
Just purchased! Do I use it in place of a shampoo then deep condition?
love your channel
I don’t believe there’s paraben or sulfates in it.
I just started using 3 and 4.
The salon I went to damaged my hair with watered down relaxer.
My hair is strong and still butt length but it’s gotten extremely thin and excessive tangles.
Just horrible.
Anyways I’m going to continue with 3 and 4.
But I’m also looking for a leave in conditioner, I blowdry my hair on low heat but I don’t use curling or flat irons.
I think simplicity has always been best for me..
Chelsea Bella Gallo Same! So sorry about your bad salon experience!
Fab as always Dom! Set back you say? how much tie do you have? The most recent one was protein over load which quickly became moisture overload when I tried to reverse it (sigh! its a never ending cycle). Well, my 2 staples that helped me recover is the TGIN Honey mask for my deep conditions and the nexus polymedic emergency reconstructor (its a protein treatment but NOT the cause of the 'original' protein overload set), + a proper trim! Also ladies, a roller set can be you friend (I swear! she can be just as cute as a 'flat iron'). This is my routine and my hair is bouncy and healthy. You just have to get over the initial 'church lady curls', when you first take out the rollers, but after a nice wrap and few hours later and WHA-LA!!!!!.....ua-cam.com/video/mjcAwLhyZn8/v-deo.htmlThanks for another great video! xoxo
Haha church lady curls!!🤣🤣 I know rollersets are a life saver but I'm always so afraid of looking like Sundays Best 😂
Let the choir say AMEN!
@@liamsmith3290 🤣🤣
Liam Smith Liam - you’re the best. I always look forward to your comments! Lol! For years, I did roller sets and my hair thrived! I just didn’t like the look! I ended up looking kinda granny-ish and I could never “tame” the massive volume! Lol! I also love the TGIN Honey Mask! I was using that too a lot a couple of years ago during the summer when I was washing and going (a lot). I have some lying around somewhere. I should dig it out. Ok - I’m also going to look out for the Nexus stuff you’re suggesting. Sounds amazing! 😉😉😉
Mercedes Gilligan HAHAHAHAHA! I just bust out laughing 👵🏾👵🏾👵🏾
Does the same as Aphogee
My hair is not real damaged. I only flat ironed once....with a couple touch ups for 2 weeks. But now I see split ends😢 would this product be too harsh for my hair or good to use?

Is it safe to leave in Olaplex 3 and then relax the next day
I have it. It didn’t make much difference to my hair at all. Maybe because it’s not really damaged. It just likes to shed from the root. 😩. Which is worse. Yeah you can use Olaplex more sparingly they just want you to buy it again sooner.
Yeah shedding from the root is normal hair behaviour.
I had the full Olaplex salon treatment done a few years ago and honestly didn’t feel or see any difference. I was disappointed after all the hype.
Did u ever find anything that worked? I tried Olaplex 3 and saw no difference. My hair is super tangly after having a professional apply my relaxer.
