The problem is influencers go on and on about a product and by the time some of us can afford to buy it, you all have moved on to something else. Plus I fell for the Rice water thing only to find out that wasn't great . It is frustrating.
I agree I feel like I’m very behind. Live and learn I guess.
I haven’t heard. What’s wrong with rice water rinses? I did it for at least a year a while back (fell of the wagon recently) and had great results.
@@Misabelle It causes protein overload for some
@@bunnyenloe ah, makes sense. That’s expected for any protein, not just rice water, if it’s not being balanced with moisture, being done too often, or if that person doesn’t need protein at all.
Omg right? I was so going to run out and buy olaplex but then I saw it’s INSANELY expensive for something I have heard iffy stuff about. Glad I didn’t because now I’m hearing how horrible it is. I’ll stick with coconut oil I guess. Everyone hates coconut oil now, but at least it’s only like $5-8 a container
The reason I am obsessed with the N7 oil, has nothing to do with the bond repair. Really, it’s because of multiple reasons. 1) It is the only hair oil I have used that didn’t weigh down my super super fine hair strands. 2) I can put a few drops on every day, without looking greasy. 3) It makes brushing my hair without breakage so much easier. 4) My hair always looks glossy and healthy. 5) The bottle makes it so you don’t over use it, coming out only one drop at a time. So any fine hair girls, I recommend to at least give it a try, it amazing. I have had it for 3 months and have gone through probably 1/8th of the bottle, if not less. It is the only product Olaplex I use.
huge agree! my hair is fine and curly, but i straighten it a lot, and the no. 7 is the only oil i can use without looking like i dipped my hair in a grease vat lol. i love mixing it with a little bit of no. 6 for heat protection!
I loooove this oil as a fine hair girly. I remember being skeptical at first due to the price vs the size. I just didn't think it could be magical enough to warrant that price point, but I've had the same bottle for months and months and it doesn't weigh down my hair and I get compliments on the shine. A winner for me!
I have very fine wavy hair, and the olaplex is still too heavy for me. The Ouai hair oil is the only one I can use.
It’s main oil is CORN oil..smh… idk any hair care that uses corn oil ..it is most likely GMO and has no real great benefit to the hair out of all the amazing oils that can be used I’m sure it’s just the cheapest…
I’ve been using the same bottle for around three years. I co-sign your observations.
Just because they have a huge line up of products it doesn’t mean you have to use them all. I’ve found the group of olaplex products that work for me and I stick to those. I’ve never found another brand that’s given me the same results. My hair breaks less, it’s healthier, fuller and just generally better than it’s ever been.
This! I use the shampoo alternating with another brand. The number 6&7, and 1&2. That’s it. Works great for my dry processed hair.
yes, #3 is the essential in my routine
I have been using both Olaplex and K18 together for a couple months now and my hair has never been so healthy - my hairdresser was actually amazed my the results
I use both too. I’ve had great results
Same! Dynamite duo. My hair dresser also commented on how great my hair felt and looked.
Same here 🙋🏼♀️
Same! K18 and olaplex can’t be compared they don’t do the same thing but together they’re the dream team
❤ How are you all combining the two…just using the Olaplex shampoo and k18 conditioner or in a different combination??
I think people forget Olaplex is just a range. You don’t have to use every single product!!! It’s like thinking you have to use every single Redken product. Just use the products you like.
Hair type also matters so we have to take Abbey’s experience with a grain of salt unless we have exactly the same hair type. My hair is coarse and thick and it loves no 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8. I prefer using no 3 on days I want bouncy, light waves and I use k18 when I want slick smooth straight hair. K18 weighs my hair down more than Olaplex does so I use it only when I want a certain look.
OF COURSE Olaplex is a brand trying to make money. Like every single hair are brand that exists.
Amen to that. I have androgenetic alopecia and use Olaplex 0, 2, 6, and 7 (I can use the 2 instead of the 3 because of the starter kits we can buy at the hairdressers in Italy) and my hair (bleached several times to become blonde) have never been better. I also have k18, both the mask and the professional spray. I sometimes use first Olaplex n 2, then rinse after a few hours and add k18, or I alternate. No breakage or any side effects. Plus, I don't get the thing about creating a whole line. This is the silliest remark I've ever heard. Redken has a whole line. K18 will have it soon enough. Or people think they are doing it just because. Of course, they make money. Duh. Plus, Abby uses affiliate links, which t me is totally fine but guess which product gives her the better commission? Not saying this is the reason for this sudden shift, but one has to wonder...
Exactly! People are slow. I use only one product from the Olaplex line, and my hair is thriving.
I think she’s promoting k18.. that’s what I could sense from the video, thus undermining Olaplex…
I remember when life was simple and I had amazing hair with a $1 shampoo 😂 now I’m putting every different product recommended trying to find the one
Man I am so so tired of Olaplex drama. It’s FINE.
Me too. I literally see people suggesting it should be “taken off the shelves”. I ain’t giving up Olaplex because it didn’t work for other people!! So so sick of hearing about it.
@@angelab5349it is “trendy”. Everyone should do what works for them instead of listening to every single recommendation out there. A couple of Olaplex products work great for me and haven’t found anything better. Could care less if anyone says not to buy them. It’s just weird how some people jump so quickly into the hate wagon. It’s exhausting.
It saved my hair!!!! I only us 6, and 7 weekly and I did use 3, 4 and 5 for when my hair was very damaged. Otherwise, I just the styling products to help me manage my frizz.
And you are right that Olaplex 4 and 5 are heavy. They absolutely are. They are just for helping with repairing damage. They will weigh your hair down.
YES I will continue to always use Olaplex, I use No 3, No 6 and No 7. And of course, if you use too much with ANY brand it will leave your hair feeling weighed down. I use very little No 6 with the 7 it is MAGIC! I use the No 3 ONCE a MONTH its perfect. And I find it so interesting how these "influencers" Give their opinion when they are using SEVERAL products at the same time!! So do you roll the dice and say oh it was THAT ONE that caused all of my problems. Dont take what these people say too seriously this is what they do for a living, and they move on from product to product like they change their underwear! Use it yourself and get your own feel for something. I will say I have used K18 and hated it, I especially do not like the fact that you can't use conditioner before you use it and after you put it on it is VERY hard to comb thru.
The same experience as yours. Love this brand. Made all the difference in growing out pixie style along with whole plant based lifestyle vegan of course exercise. I am thankful. 💜
Agree. The combo is a must for me after each wash.
I used the olaplex purple shampoo when I was platinum blond and it was the best one I’ve found. So it’s definitely great for when you do want to take out yellow/ brass tones
Gray hair too! 🥰
I use Olaplex 6 and 7 after every wash including my K18 wash days! My hair looks and feels so healthy! I noticed I am retaining length much better.
I think Olaplex is a great brand and yes, worked for my hair for a long time. However, after going gray (with blue highlights), I found my hair much more dry and stiff. I also then had a total hysterectomy, changing my hormones and making my skin and hair more dry than before. I started using K18 which worked much better for my hair and routine.
Thank you for all your hard work, much appreciated!!
Many blessings!💖💖💖
So basically this video is sponsored by K18 and not Olaplex! 😅
And she misleads people on purpose. You are supposed to wash your hair and then put 0 on when it's dry.
She is misleading 👎
I really love using a pump of #6+ a few sprinkles of#7 together in my wet hair, it’s so great on my hair.
Olaplex has saved my hair and I won’t stop using it. I tried K18 and it left so much residue and it was just weighed down
Yes!! K18 leaves my hair tangly and feeling awful. Olaplex leaves it soft and light
I like no3, 6 and 7. Those are great. No8 didn’t do as much for me, but 4 and 5 I use. I just prefer Kerastase Blond Absolu and Magistral. I alsouse K18, so who knows what the future brings. I intentionally bleached my hair from level 5 to 9/10 😅😉
I actually LOVE the clarifying shampoo. Every other week, I do No3, rinse, and then do 4C(clarifying) and let it sit for 5ish minutes, then No8. It takes a long time, but I use that time to shave and be alone.
I always use the No9 as my "prep" product after washing as it has heat protection and is lightweight enough for my super fine hair that I can use it followed with a gel and then diffuse.
I don't want or desire any of the other Olaplex products, but those ones I love ❤️
Blah blah people sue for anything and everything these days. Can’t fart next to someone without them retaining an attorney for pain and suffering… 😂
I laughed but this is so ridiculously true. It's astounding. 😆
😂😂😂
So true
Seen the smallest wreak yesterday i don’t even think there was damage on either car and here comes the ambulance…. 🫢😂
Just spat out my peppermint tea a little laughing at this comment hahahahahaha 👏👏😂
I bleach my hair excessively and I feel like I always need something in it to repair. I'm glad they have so many options with styling products
I adore the number 3, the clarifying shampoo and the number 9 serum - they make my hair amazing! I believe everyone's hair is different and different products work for different people (for example, my hair hates coconut oil and yet that works wonders for others)
Same. My hair hatessss coconut oil!
Same, my hair also hates coconut oil!🇬🇧
Thank you for another haircare video ❤ Would you be open to reviewing Function of Beauty again now that you know more about hair and you’d be able to select goals better suited to your needs? I’m curious to know your updated thoughts on that too ☺️ Especially since they now carry a styling primer which they did not have the first time around!
the ones at target are so good, i love the mousse and the straight hair line straightens my hair
@@xoxorosequartz unfortunately I don’t live in the US and I can only order from their website 😅
I am a solid Oribe and K18 girl. I buy both brands in the largest quantity available. I still would use some of the Olaplex #3, #7, and #8 that I have in the cabinet if I run out of the others, but I like the lightness, the smell, and soft feel of the other two far more than the Olaplex.
Thank you for your honest thoughts and healthy skepticism! ❤
I have only tried the shampoo and conditioner from Olaplex and I havent experienced any issues in the past, but I also dont reach for it as much as I do with my redkin acidic line or pureology strength cure line. I just prefer those and over Olaplex they have less work and are easy to incorporate and dont require so many steps. Overall I do not hate the brand or against it I just feel like I can get similar results or maybe even better with other lines that dont have an overwhelming amount of products that the brand says you need.
so K18 brand isn't making money & expanding its product line?
TY I also went down the same road, from Olaplex to Redken to K18 and am loving K18 post wash mask. I love it and using the oil (still on fence with oil for repair) but love the leave in mask!!!
Great thorough review! Thank You! ❤
I’ve used most of the products for a few years now, and definitely think the k18 made more of a difference as far as stopping breakage. The oil smells amazing, and I enjoy it, but there are better ones out there (nothing beats Moroccan oil for me). The mask is great and I continue to use. I think the purple shampoo is better than any other I have tried, especially I because it isn’t drying like most others.
I love the purple shampoo too
Isn't k18 like 80 bucks? That's how much it was in my salon
@@faithtrout1181 you can buy the travel size version to see if it works for your hair and is worth it. I think the travel size is around $25
(I'm Tom's wife too🤣) The best purple shampoo I ever tried was by OGX in the opaque lavender bottle. Not the current see-thru one now. It didn't leave any purple cast, and only brightened & moisturized my level 10 hair. The new one isn't nearly as good. OGX Moroccan Argan oil in the spray is my holy grail. K18 oil is a splurge for me, I'm saving up for it.
Thank you for the video, olaplex really saved my hair and adore all olaplex products but I have to say that me too when I used K18 it's does better work in my hair, now I found the perfect routine for my fine frizzy hair, I use K18 and after I use little bit of olaplex no 9 and no 6 and 7 and it's really tame my frizzy hair and my hair look healthy now.
Thanks for the video again ❤️
That was my exact issue with using #0. I used to wash my hair one afternoon, apply #0 and #3 as an overnight treatment, then shampoo and condition my hair the next morning. That was the only way I could make it work for me. It was a hassle and K18 works so much better for my hair anyway.
Hi Abbey I use the no 3 once or twice a month - wash hair first, apply and leave on for 30 to 40 mins and then shampoo/condition/leave in/curl cream/gel as usual. I makes my curls spring up and I like it. The top layers of our hair get more weathering from the elements and it tends to make those form better curl clumps. My hair need a lot of moisture and just a small bit of protein (thick, course textured and curly hair), so many of my products are moisture focussed. I try not to use a lot of protein in my products, so as to avoid protein overload. This is not a protein treatment in my mind - it's a bond builder and curly hair already has broken bonds in the hair from the kinks in the strands. It works for me and I can usually get it on a good deal from salon services with my pro card. The K18 is so much more expensive and I cannot go without conditioner - jeez my hair would be like a wire brush without conditioner lol and I would never get a comb through it. I know you can use leave in/curl cream with it, but nope I still need the conditioner. The living proof version is also twice the price for a smaller amount, so same budget constraints apply. I don't have many highlights left in my hair and I don't use much heat etc, so I don't have brittle/breaking hair. I do have naturally very dry/course/curly hair and I'm fully menopausal, so I also have some whites growing in. The olaplex is working for my hair, but it is of course an individual thing for us all. Best wishes.
The Denatured alcohol in k18 dried the heck out of my curly hair and it took me six weeks or so to get my hair back to normal after a couple of hair mask and Olaplex 03.
Try the #8 I love it for my curls. I also do #3 once or twice a month. But #8 after Redken cleansing Cream just gives me great curls I use #8 once a week.
@@acerone1 Oh dear glad I didn't try it now. x
@@kathleendorsam5324 Thanks x
I use olaplex no3 , no4 , no 5 , and mix no 6 and no 7 together and it works amazing that way and I also use k18 hair treatment leave in . I must say when my hair got chemically damage olaplex wasn’t helping my hair at all I needed something stronger so my hair dresser and the lady at salon centric recommended I use the k18 for a a few months than use the olaplex with it and my hair is back being healthy.
Thank you for your detailed experience report! The fact that the biggest effect of Olaplex is that the hair feels soft fits with research findings (Di Foggia et al. 2021, DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.11.194): "• S-S *disulfide bridges* content in the cortex *does not increase* • No direct evidence of the sulfa-Michael reaction/cross-linking in the cortex. • Upon treatment more regular hair surface and more imbricated scales at SEM."
So all in all, only cortex and cuticle are changed, which helps, but there is no repair of the disulfide bridges - it's just good marketing.
Very beautiful and stunning job, Abbey!❤❤
Can you please review the aveda botanical repair line and explain what the active ingredient is doing to the hair? fiberHance™ (Hydroxypropylgluconamide, Hydroxypropylammonium Gluconate)
I love that your baby girl is in every video! ❤🐾
Good video. I think they have some good products. I guess it’s good that number 3 can be used with out having to use all their other products.
So everyone and their mama used to praise the hell out of them and no we dump them. Ok
Cancel culture lol
I love olaplex...HOLY GRAIL
Different sponsors. They all work for someone.
Thanks Abby. Also, have you seen the Coco peptide from Pacifica? Can you do a review of that, please.
My hair is alot better having stopped olaplex. The purple shampoo dried my hair out like crazy. I love the illumin8 one by De Lorenzo, it's just as pigmented and leaves my hair really soft and about half the price. I use k18 too. The olaplex oil still left my hair dry and made my bleached hair dull and brassy. The original oil by kerastase is the best, half a pump over styled hair is enough. I ended up throwing out the olaplex shampoo and conditioner, for the price and what they claim it didn't deliver. I've tried nearly everything by olaplex and was underwhelmed by it all.
Hi, new sub here! Thank you for this video. How long did it take for you to see a change after using K18? I’m experiencing a lot of breakage as well and I’ve been using Olaplex #3 for a while now but it’s not helping my breakage. Ty!
Hi Abbey great video! I am a licensed hairstylist who used the whole range on myself (except the number 0 and purple shampoo)for about 8 months. I stopped using them for a few reasons= 1 while it never caused breakage it my hair it did feel that it slowed down my hair growth a lot
2. It never felt like it was actually doing anything for me, I lightened my hair quite a lot to a dark blonde and it never felt "strengthened" while using. And like you said I felt I had to layer every product to see best results. Really want to try k18 but it's so expensive.
Salon Centric in y area is carrying now. I would say budget for it and go for it
Thank you so much for this extremely informative video ! When I first started using Olaplex I absolutely loved it(#s 0,3,8, and the oil) and saw results right away…. Then I started using the #6 , which again I loved at first…but then after about a 4-6 weeks of using #6 my fine thin hair started breaking ALL over 😭 what other hair oils do you recommend for fine/thin hair instead of the Olaplex one? I Just ordered K18 after watching your video…fingers crossed it’s able to help repair my baby broken strands 🤞🏼
I just saw a new bond-building oil from Bumble and Bumble, would love to hear your review, and on their products in general!
I've used the #3 for years on my self and my daughter. I think its part of the reason she was able to grow her hair long as a toddler without breakage.
I’m confused as to why a toddler would need Olaplex. It sounds very wrong 😖
@@roselynmvm Small kids have no concept of being gentle with their hair. It rubs against carseats, they pull hats on and off, rip brushes through their hair, play in pools/sun, you get the idea :) Olaplex is not applied to the scalp. I found a small amount applied to my daughter's ends from the time it was shoulder length, did wonders on keeping the wear and tear at bay. Her hair was baby fine, curly, and tangled easily. She's now 7 and her curls are past her bum. Of course I did lots of healthy haircare in addition to olaplex so I'm not saying it is solely responsible for the length, but I think it was a helpful addition to her routine.
@@derrickjenniferwatkins1394 I see. I guess that makes sense. Would have suggested you do more natural ingredients to protect her hair, like an olive oil mask, or over-ripped avocado mask, but I guess your kiddo is getting older already and with healthy hair so that’s all that matters.
@@roselynmvm Huh? It's a hair product for children and adults. It's not chemical. Slow...smh
@@roselynmvm that’s a one way ticket to scalp issues 😬
Curious if since you’re concerned with combining Olaplex and k18 are you also concerned about combining the living proof bond repair with k18? I know in one of your previous videos you mentioned you used them both. Thanks abbey! 😊
I truly only use the oil because it's the first oil I can use that's lightweight enough for my hair! I love that product and I don't think I use enough of it to actually repair bonds or whatever, I just like the texture of it 😂
How do you incorporate the Redken Acidic bonding conditioner with k18? Do you ever use it as a conditioner directly after K18? I love K18 since I started using conditioner after leaving it on for 4 minutes (thanks to you!) and just picked up the Redken Acidic Bonding conditioner per your recommendation. Would love to know how you space them out or if you ever use them together! Since you mentioned you’d be hesitant to use Olaplex and K18 just curious how you feel about the K18 and Redken combo. Btw you’re my hair guru, my hair has actually been transformed since I started consistently following your tips and is healthier than its been since before I started coloring it. Thank you so much!!! ❤❤❤
I totally hear you about switching to k18. I tend to rotate them, as I bought so much olaplex in offers its going to take me a long time to work through it! 😂 but k18 really seems to weigh my hair down. It feels great the wash after it though. I've emulsified, used less...Still get stringy bits in sections- so annoying! If anyone has any tips, let me know! Tried everything 😔
I was allergic to Olaplex 😢 so I will never know how amazing it could have been for my hair. I have tried the redken acidic bonding line and liked that one but didn’t see a huge difference in my hair. I also swung to the drugstore side and tried the L’Oréal Bond Strengthening line and I liked it but didn’t notice a huge improvement in my hair. My hair mostly has heat damage, no bleach or other coloring damage. Still want to try K18 but I am waiting for my friend to get hired there so I can get a discount 😂
What kind of allergic reaction did you have? I got a treatment today with olaplex since she damaged my hair so bad. And it stinks my eyes a bit. Not sure it was allergic or it just got into my eyes 🤔
@@Baenguuu my scalp was super itchy and had red patches all over
I thi k im allergic to the redken one... it fell all over my body and now everything itches like helll..... it feels like I poured acid all over my hair, scalp and body... back to olaplex.
@@lyvsix oh no!! try K18 instead of Olaplex. I keep hearing amazing things
K18 is good.
off topic but what would you pick as the most natural face tanner regardless of price? I'm a guy and I've usually used Loving Tan face and thought it looked natural but someone pointed it out looking slightly orange one day. I've heard people say Tanologist and Isle of Paradise look more natural, but any suggestions for a guy? About the same natural skin tone as you maybe slightly darker.
Hi Abbey, thank you for the information on Olaplex. We trust you and you save us all a lot of time, energy and our hair benefits greatly. Why do you feel comfortable using the Living Proof bond repair with K18, but not Olaplex no 3 with K18? Would you explain this to us? We always value your opinion and input navigating hair and skin care.
Its just feels
I've tried several olaplex products but have only really liked the no 6 and 7. I agree I like k18 better and use the olaplex products when I don't use k18
I like a few Olaplex products and they did wonders for my hair. I used two bottles of K18 and unfortunately hated it did absolutely nothing for me, so I think Olaplex suits my hair better. I like 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. I didn’t like 0 or the mask 8 which seemed useless. 3 and 6 are by far my faves though, they make the most difference for my hair. I found the clarifying shampoo ok but not repurchasing
what type of hair do you have?
@@caitlingijsbers7636 I have very straight fine short bobbed hair
I just bought No. 3 because it’s so much cheaper than K18 and I’ve been using the oil (No. 7) for a few years because I like it as an oil, not because of the bond repair ingredient. I also can’t believe that all of these products are necessary or beneficial.
My highlighted thick hair is in MUCH better condition since stopping use of Olaplex 2, 4, and 5. Shedding is FAR less
Frustrating because I invested in the whole line last year because of this UA-camr, sad things change so quickly, hard to know who to trust.
Keep using them! They’re great!
The Blowout Professor on UA-cam is really authentic and a professional hair stylist in the US ❤ I like his energy and he recommended Olaplex 3 which is why I'm now going to invest in it
She used Olaplex for years! She explained her severe damage that Olaplex couldn't fix but K18 did! There's nothing misleading about it!
Love No 6- my hair was so bad salon gave me shampoo, conditioner no 8 no 6 and no 7. My hair is so much better. My daughter has sleep rhythmic disorder and virtually has no hair left. I put some on when she comes over(and give her some til next time) and you can see improvement next time she visits. Didnt know that you could buy outside salon but have now done so for both of us. I agree with Abbey about the oily hair- not weighed down but if you dont wash out within 2 days your hair gets oily and weighed down. However, that time in my hair has contributed to improving my hair, working with natural hair oil. I just love this brand- funny no 8 is my least favourite Lol. Thanks Abbey for a fair run down, thanks Olaplex for saving my hair!
Thank you Abbey...but honestly you ask great questions:)
Funny thing but the no 6 was in your top 10 favourite hair products video. So how can it go from like the best thing ever to just it didn’t do anything. I understand that product preferences can change but how can we trust an influencer who one time speaks very highly on something to then later on say the opposite. I’m not having a go at you but maybe you should test a product for longer and compare it to other products before you give your final thoughts and recommend it to other people.
3 or 4 years later anyone is going to be using something different not just Abbey! You act like she used Olaplex for 6 months then gave it up to promote K18! That's NOT what happened!
Hi Abbey, love your channel ❤ I recently tried K18 so thank you for your reviews and tips on using it. Which hair oils would you recommend for long blonde hair with damage from highlights 😊
Same question 😊
Same question as well
Same
Products can penetrate the hair if they are lipophilic or contain lipophilic substances, such as alcohol (it is great for this purpose, not the ones we drink of course). Or if they are alkaline ( which is the case with the hair dyes). Doesn’t matter much if they have build up or oils. You see that with the bleach which is alkaline..and penetrates throughout oily hair anyway. But they penetrate in different ways, the lipophilic substances penetrate threw the cuticule and the cortex, which have ( both) a small % of lipids ( around 3%..small but enough to provide the lipophilic substances entrance).The alkaline products entry after open the cuticules.
I need your hair.. So this lady is listening to you about it all!! Thanks for doing so much research!
I never tried the No. 0; I love the No. 3 and still use it; The No. 4 is probably my favorite shampoo right now; I really like the No. 5 quite a bit; I haven't used the No. 4C or 4P; The No. 6 was OK. Not my favorite leave in; I do love the No. 7 oil but I have several I like and use; I wasn't that impressed with the No. 8; I have not tried the No. 9. Keep in mind that other than the Bond Repair No. 3, I don't necessarily like the other products for their bond repair capabilities. I judge those by how much I like them as a stand alone product. I have not tried the K18 yet but it is on my list. I look forward to seeing if I like it as much as you.
Could you try the Crown Affair product line? so much hype recently so would love to hear your thoughts!
Thanks for this. To be honest I not really sure what exactly olaplex products do. I get an olaplex treatment when I go to my (amazing) salon but I never really see a difference between when I get the treatment and when I don't. There are so many products for bond repair that I can honestly say it confuses me and I never know which one to use. I bought the conditioner and I HATE it .. I can't get the product out of the bottle - total waste of money.
Do you still use epres? I remember you saying that you'd do a follow up video after you used it for awhile
I love olaplaex no.3, no.4 & no.5. I currently have the conditioner in my hair right now the I'm leaving in for a few hours as a mask!
Do you like the brand kerastase?
Love the oil.
Lasts 10 thousand years.
The mask - I still use it because it’s the only one I have at the moment. Dry, my hairs nice. But wet it’s tangly and when I wash it off - my hair doesn’t feel like it’s been conditioned at all 😟
I like it all slippery.
can you make a video about your favorite hair oils and heat protectants? 😊
Hi Abbey, Good honest review of why you're not using any of this brand ❤!
How do you feel about rosewater with mint as a treatment you put it on dry or wet hair every day?
I love to alternate between Olaplex and shea moisture. Because A: Olaplex is expensive and I have other bills to pay that are more important (according to my father lol) then my hair care. And B: sometimes I’m lazy and I just want to wash my hair and not worry about how long a product sits in my hair. K18 is out of my budget and I don’t have crazy damage, I just have curly hair that is high maintenance. I definitely like all the Olaplex products I’ve tried but once I run out I may try something new just to see. I got the ouai birthday gift from Sephora and I’ve really been liking the leave in conditioner so maybe I’ll try that line up next.
I’ve been using olaplex for almost a year and my hair did fall out maybe the product just isn’t for everyone, I definitely stopped using it and the breakage stopped.
I use Olaplex 3 and k18 on same day. I swear I find better results this way. Highly recommend this. Amazing and better than either alone!!
K18 clarifying shampoo then Olaplex 3. Then clarify again then k18. (1 x week)
I totally agree with Olaplex regarding No 6. I’ve always found it lightweight and if I accidentally apply way too much, a quick rinse is literally all you need to make it perfect again.
Re no. 4, I Gotta go ashy because I’m trying to get as much “life” outta these highlights which I get mostly to camouflage my “natural white highlights’” which look kinda gross. Especially with my skin tone! And 4P really cleans 🧼 my hair too! But I agree- using shampoo, letting hair dry all matted and nasty then applying No. 0 is a pain in the a**! But for once every 2-3 months, I find it’s worth it.
I gotta correct you though- I think so many more people have severely damaged hair that’s beyond the breadth of Olaplex than you think…. but I watch a lot of bleach fail vids 😂
I have used Olaplex for years. It really improved my hair. I do have a question. I tried Color Wow Dreamcoat and really like it. However, since it stays in your hair for three shampoos, does it interfere with leave in conditioners such as K18 and Epres?
Hi Abbey, what do you recommend/use instead of Olaplex now? TIA x
Off topic but I'm curious, do you still use IGK prep spray and if so, what about its performance stands out to you?
7:43 I’ve never liked clarifying shampoo ever, but are you supposed to use one? My hair won’t get super duper oily, but I live in a very dry climate. Shampooing more than once in a wash session is often enough to keep buildup at bay for me…
I have found in my numerous years that you need to swap out hair products or they become ineffective and/or drying. Olaplex 3 was great and then wasn't. My question is what to use besides K18? $75? YIKES! And I don't want a leave in either. I am confused at this point and will stick to the Cera 100 until it stops working too.
There is Aphogee 2 step treatment.
Hi Abby I totally appreciate all of your videos. You're doing a great job love them ! I started using Olympics when my hair was going through a saying I'm sure you understand what that means lol I found it did absolutely nothing for my hair it actually made it worse. I felt like I was alone in that situation. I couldn't Find many reviews with the same scenario as mine. I felt that was alone an island. I have been using the K18 and so far so good. The only question I have is that you choose to wash it out after the treatment where they recommend leaving it in . Does that interfere with the process?
She has such pretty fur! I love that shade! ❤ When you hold her up to your face I always think, "Oh, that color looks good on Abbey too." 😂
I love Olaplex for me it works better than k18 (considering I use Olaplex products daily) my hair isn’t your hair so take it with a grain of salt
When they announced the dry shampoo I rolled my eyes so hard. Theyre a hair treatment brand that is developing more and more styling products that contradict the science behind their reparative ingredient. Like did we really need another dry shampoo?
**Edit: AND NOW THEY HAVE A LASH SERUM??? 😂
Agreed it seems a little gimmicky and I can clearly see what they're trying to do.
@@Lisa-bf4bg What are they trying to do?
Yes you need this dry shampoo. Its the only one that works for me. The rest of their products are not for me.
Olaplex Lash serum and dry shampoo?!? SMH. I can’t agree more.
@@joannmclean6406 I think she means using the Olaplex name to make BS products for a huge profit. What’s next? An Olaplex line for pets? Olaplex makeup?
the only bond building products that actually did anything to my hair (and is not k18 price) is redken acidic bonding concentrate (l’oréal made a legit dupe, the ingredient lists are the same) and the amika the kure line)
The dupe is soooo good!!!
@@lifeoflw84 ikr it is literally the same results for a third of the price
I mean L'Oréal owns Redken so that's a dupe I definitely believe is the same
What is the name of the loreal dupe please?
@@natmya243 l’oréal bond strengthening pre shampoo treatment i think
I love number 6, 7 and 8... number 3 really works for me using not so often
May I what do you use then? I have natural curly hair but it if fine. I also subscribed to your Channel
someone suggestion I tried the OlaPlex 6 and I loved what it did to my hair and I did end up buying the whole line. I have silver gray hair and I bought the Ola Plex 4P and it turned my hair purple and it had only been in my hair for under three minutes And my hair stayed purple and when I went to my hairdresser who is working on my hair, she says it dyed my hair to a darker tint. I paid $30 for that bottle of purple shampoo that I’ll never use again otherwise I do like the Ola Plex products.
Omgggg what do you have on your nails in the dry shampoo clip? 😍
I really liked my hair when I used Olaplex! I'm no longer bleaching (currently trying to embrace my natural color, not aure how long this will last lol) so I didn't feel the need to use it anymore (plus I really like switching things up 😅) so I haven't used for well over a year, but no complaints from me!
For 0 I shampoo with a gentle shampoo and then let air dry, then when it’s like 50% dry I add Olaplex O.
What hair oils would you recommend over number 7?
What hair oil do you recommend? I have very dry natural blonde hair with lots of gray.
I have natural hair, no color all virgin hair but I do use heat a couple of times a month. Does oleplex help with split ends from heat damage and daily damage or for is it supposed to be for color damage? Does using oleplex on virgin hair damage it?
I use #3 and #8.
The #3 is a good, intense treatment for maximum bond repair. #8 is the best all around hair mask I've ever used - the bond repair is good, but the rest of the mask is excellent for my hair as well.
I have no interest in any of their othe rproducts.
the first and only time I used 0 it burnt the skin it came in contact with, when I washed afterwards with 4 it made my scalp so itchy so I stopped using 0. I’ve found my ends got so damaged so much faster since using the whole regime, I had a trim before starting it and my hair was in good condition so unfortunately Olaplex just isn’t for me
I love Olaplex. I have never bought the entire line. I use 4 and 5.
Has anyone used K18 shampoo with Olaplex conditioner? Just wondering if those two together would work
Great video, Abby! Hi Elsie!! ❤🐶
Great I'm a year late! No wonder its been on sale! I wish I had heard about this sooner. I have been using Ola Plex #4 and #5 on rotation for a couple years and loved the results. when I started using twice a week exclusively my head started itching/burning. My hair started falling out in chunks and strands. I kept using more think it was from something else. I discontinued using and returned all recently puchased at Ulta and Sephora Olaplex 4,5,6,& oil products. I have never had an allergic reaction before from any product.
