OLAPLEX No.6 Bond Smoother, 100ml

Product Information

The secret behind OLAPLEX’s incredible success? The brand’s patented bond building technology and bond maintenance system. Working on a molecular level, the brand’s bond building innovation is the first of its kind, repairing strands’ broken disulphide bonds, caused by heat and colour damage. This active system works by repairing and realigning the torn disulphide links, rather than just increasing the density of the hair, like typical repair systems do.

Whatever you do, do not use their products. I used olaplex years ago and didn’t seem to have any problems that I noticed, however after buying and using it recently I noticed my scalp became extremely red, itchy and irritated. My hair felt so dry and brittle and started thinning and breaking a lot!! Consider your personal hair history, too – if you’ve used chemical dye for years, it’ll unsurprisingly take longer to repair the damage. The verdict: Is Olaplex really worth the money? The bond-repairing technology in these products comes from citric acid so they are quite similar in formula to Redken’s Acidic Bonding Concentrate Shampoo and Conditioner. Image: L’Oreal These Olaplex dupes and alternatives rival Olaplex’s claim that they actively repair hair damage and restore the hair’s strongest bonds to leave it in much better condition.OLAPLEX helps to maintain the integrity of the hair before, during and after all texture services. Texture services last longer, and the hair stays in better condition when OLAPLEX is used correctly. Damage-free Color and Lightening Services performed after any texture service are possible when properly using them with OLAPLEX. OLAPLEX will strengthen straight hair, improving manageability, movement and shine. The condition of the hair won’t be compromised using thermal styling options such as curling irons, hot rollers, etc. when the hair is treated prior with OLAPLEX.

If you want to try them when they’re next available, hurry to your nearest Aldi store before they sell out. OLAPLEX 4 AND 5 DUPES If you’re wondering how to use Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, begin by shampooing your hair and drying it with a towel. Take some of the product into your hands and spread it evenly throughout your hair. Focus on the ends of your hair particularly. Wait a couple of minutes, and then carefully wash all of the conditioner off. Yes! We love a before and after here at Sally Beauty, especially when your results are more than visible. With scientifically proven results of 68% more repair & 3x stronger hair* (*When used as a two-part system in just one use) usingI can’t remember a time when Olaplex wasn’t in my life; even as a financially struggling student, I managed to budget in my fix. So good and hard-working, it was never ever left in the communal bathroom for my housemates to steal.

Of course it contains Olaplex’s famous bond-building technology and at the same time this lightweight, silicone-free serum gives you protection from both heat and pollution (thanks to the addition of antioxidant-rich Red Algae Extract). Olaplex isn’t like other hair treatments. While other hair care brands simply smooth over the problem, the Olaplex formula actually repairs the damage using their patented single ingredient Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. This works on a molecular level to restore your hair. In fact, it is the only patented bond builder in the biz.Editor's note: Olaplex came under fire in 2022 after customers claimed the product caused breakage and hair loss— and a lawsuit alleged that the company didn't disclose the fertility-related health risks linked to an ingredient in the product. Despite using "a trace amount of lilial" at a 0.01% concentration, which the company claims isn't a harmful amount, it has since been phased out of the formula. Apply the No.0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment slowly to dry hair, distributing evenly from root to tip. Having got my mitts on the Olaplex No.8 I decided, for a brief moment, to do exactly what I was told for my hair. I freshly shampooed, applied (a few more than) the recommended 2 pumps, swooned over the delicious scent – not strictly in the instructions but I challenge you not to do the same – and worked the product through my mid-lengths to ends with my fingers. Chemical services can also cause damage. These services include Color, Lighteners, Perms, Relaxers, Keratin Treatments, and Japanese Straighteners/Thermal Reconditioners. Aldi recently brought out its range called Bonded, which comes under the brand’s beauty line Lacura.

UV damage from the sun, humidity, extreme hot/cold weather conditioners, pollution, etc. all have a negative impact on the hair’s bonds. OLAPLEX was created by Dean Christal in his family’s Santa Barbara home garage. Coming from a family of hair experts, Christal worked with scientists to discover the brand’s signature ingredient – Bis-Aminopropyl-Diglycol Dimaleate – which transforms the quality of tresses’ textures, colour and overall strength. This home-grown idea has since evolved to become one of the biggest names in the hair and beauty business – now selling millions of products every year.
