What Does Doctor Think Of Olaplex? Does it actually cause HAIR LOSS?!

  • The luxe haircare brand Olaplex, billed as an antidote for broken and damaged hair, has been accused of causing many of its customers to go bald and blister.
    “Olaplex makes several more intensive treatments that are not meant to be used daily but rather as an add-on treatment once or up to a couple of times each week. The No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment, a spray that coats the hair in the company's patented bond-building compound, should be used at most a few times per week on dry hair.
    The No. 9 hair serum and the No. 6 Bond Smoother leave-in treatments meanwhile can be applied every time after you wash and condition your hair 'to give your hair every last dose of definition and smoothness.' The bonding oil is similar in that it smooths hair but is applied as a final step.”
    If you think that Olaplex is breaking your hair, it could be that your hair may have already sustained severe damage.
    Olaplex made its three-step hair-care procedure available to the general public in response to market demand. The instructions are still rather detailed, so those who might not have the patience or unable to understand them properly would probably get unfavourable outcomes.
    DO NOT OVER USE X
    DO NOT LET IT SIT X
    If you're using the product too much it is likely it will have the opposite effects
    However, it is important to stop using the Olaplex products and SEEK EXPERT ADVICE if you strongly believe that it is the cause of more damage!!

    I am a hairdresser and Olaplex damaged my hair. The first thing I noticed was excessive amounts of hair shedding with washing, then came the hair breakage and extreme dryness. After meeting with my own hairdresser and hearing a similar experience with her, I stopped using all Olaplex products 3 months ago. My hair is starting to grow back, the amount of hair shedding had decreased by 1/2-3/4 (normal shedding) and the breakage and dryness has also decreased by 90% (it’s winter and my hair is highlighted, so I expect some dryness and breakage). The breakage however should continue to decrease once the Olaplex damage has been cut out of my hair. This is a long game and I’m expecting my hair to be back to its full and shiny state by summer 2024. If anyone needs tips on products that I believe are helping my hair, I would be happy to recommend.

This is a pre-shampoo treatment. Wet your hair apply the product, leave on for 10 minutes, rinse, then shampoo and condition as normal. After my shower I spray in a leave in conditioner Redken One United or Amika hydro rush. If you can only purchase 1 of the products I suggested the Redken 10min weekly treatment.

    Any hair treatment that has biotin and keratin or a bonding agent should not be used long term. The hair will eventually not have any flexibility and will snap off. These are meant to be used as a treatment to repair and then work with a product that provides extensive moisture thereafter.

      Funny you say that b/c Olaplex gave my hair the flexibility that it didn’t have before by repairing those bonds (4c natural). My hair was like a steel wool before, you’d move my hair in a direction and it wouldn’t move back, it would just stay there. Now my hair is so pliable which I didn’t even believe a hair type like mine could be. Maybe what you’re saying is true when overused or for other brands but the tech behind Olaplex is what sets them apart. They repair disulfide bonds (the strongest of the bonds) where as it seems like other brands only repair the salt or hydrogen bonds. All I know is that my hair hasn’t seen anything better.

Do not use this mess. I’ve gotten a minimal ingredient shampoo bar with castor oil and doubling my collagen intake to repair. My hair was so thick a year ago, now it’s dull, limp, lifeless and 40% less thick

    • @SashaStowers

      Sweet heart, you were using a clarifying shampoo twice a week? For seven months?! Bless your heart! A simple Google search would have told you that clarifying shampoo should be used max like once or twice a month. Clarifying shampoo is the harshest shampoo available. It is stripping, and should only be used if you have a massive amount of build up that a normal shampoo cannot handle. It makes sense that your hair is weak and damaged now. I wish you the best and that your hair recovers.

It is very hard to find completely unscented stuff so I try to find mild natural sourced scents (as some essential oils still bother me) vanilla can be ok etc if its truly natural. There are more brands willing to use natural products now vs 15 years ago!
