Thanks for sharing the scientific information behind OLAPLEX! So glad you're enjoying our moisturizing products! ❤️
I just spent $150 at Ulta!!! So excited 🎉❤
You should sponsor her ❤️
I’m purchasing based on this video! 🎉 I’ve been back and forth about it for a while but this was super helpful
I feel so informed. I love seeing black women scientist! Much love to you. 🎉❣️
Thank you hun! We are trying out here🤍🤍
Thank you for this informative video! I’ve been using olaplex for almost a year now and my natural hair is the healthiest it’s ever been in the 6 years I’ve been natural. I decided to give it a try as my last resort before I was going to cut all my hair off because it was so damaged and falling out in chucks!! Now it’s a lot thicker and stronger, less breakage and I’m sooo happy!! I bought the whole line and sticking to it.
I wish I knew about this before I cut my hair off again
Thank you so much for your video. As a fellow chemistry grad and black woman, I LOVE the fact that you're tailoring this information in a way which I can understand and get behind. Definitely have a new subscriber.
I currently use the number 1,3,6,8 and the serum ooh the oil as well. I love the deep mask #8. Can’t live without that one. I blow dry once every two to three weeks and no breakage. I also include with my #8 the Mizani deep condition. My hair has been thriving
Yesss no.8 is just perfection! Glas it works for you xx
Black guy here. I love the science angle. I actually just found out ouidad has some ingredients that seem to counteract "moisturizing".
This video deserves way more views. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!🤍🥺
Black woman in science 🧪 ❤
I just want to say I can see you spent a lot of time and effort on this video! Its amazingly informative! Thank you
Aww thank you so much 🥹🤍
I’m a Natural Nadine fan! I love all of this education on natural hair and products that is based in science! I will check out olaplex moisture mask for next wash day. I would love a review on K18 which is starting to gain popularity in natural community and hair salons.
Awww thank you !🤍🤍
Yes I second that! I love k18 and would love to see a review
You are simply EXCELLENT. I am sure your parents are proud of a smart girl like you
I really appreciate this content. You gave an excellent visual explanation about our hair and exactly what the olaplex product does. I was confused about this hair care system at first but now I have a better understanding. Thank you so much!!!
I used 9 as a leave in under a foam and that was a pretty bomb wash and go :). I got the whole system for my birthday and it's been great I love it.
Wooow I might actually try this but I’m scared I’ll like it now I have to spend £25 on a leave in conditioner every time 🤣🤣🤣
@@naturalnadinee well the good news is I only needed like 1 maybe 2 full pumps for my whole head! apply to your soaking wet hair and it spreads pretty far. I was really impressed. (I'm pusher... lol jk)
Thanks for this. My hair does good with Olaplex 1 and 2 at the salon. Have used 0 and 3 and don't recall any big difference. Bought 3 again recently to use on a section of my hair that seems damaged. Now, that you say 8 is better, I am returning it and getting 8! I can use some moisture as the damaged hair seems a little dry.
You’re so intelligent and beautiful! Great video, thank you so much for posting. This is exactly what I was looking for ❤
Love this video beautiful! Love seeing black scientists! 🥺💗💗💕
Thank you! 🤍 yes ma’am black women in STEM all theeee way!!
I have serious beef with disulfide bonds. I'm ready to square up. Couple with the fact that humidity encourages them and I live in Miami means straightening my hair is almost useless
🤣🤣🤣 right!! Any smell of moisture in the air and they’ve already started reforming😩 && but you live in Miami so a win is a win! 🤣
I straighten my hair about 4 times a year and I use 0 and 3 before and after. My kinky coily hair has done well with it. Now I use it once a month without any issues. Love it. Thinking about adding #8 because I need a good mask. Thanks for the awesome video.
I snatched my hair tie out so quick 😂 Thank you. I wanted to invest in this product during the Sephora sale but wanted to make sure 😅it’s worth it. Awesome and informative.
Thank you for this informative video. My stylist suggested no 3 for my natural hair that is not damaged. My hair is fine. I was skeptical but now understand the science. She believes an olaplex treatment can last 6 weeks with no 3 at home maintenance but it appears no O makes more sense.
Thank you for breaking this down for me! I’ve been asking around and no one could explain it to me
No problem thank you 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you for this very much for this excellent and informative video, definitely going to try Olaplex!
hope you like it!xxx
@naturalnadinee I did and so did my two friends, we are going to order olaplex. We live in Curacao an island in the Caribbean so it will take us a while to receive it.
This is very informative. The background music is distracting.
Olaplex did break my hair and I didn't use henna. I think the bond builder became too much for my hair. After 5 washes, one per week, my hair began to feel like dry grass, very stiff and knotted.
Thanks for sharing, do you know what porosity your hair is?
Washing once a week ... Every week 🥴 Try washing less. That's probably why it feels dry! That's wayyy too much washing for your hair. You're washing the natural oils out washing that often. Don't mess with your hair too too much . Plus I'm sure you have no filter on your shower when you wash. All those metals and chemicals in our water (hard water) breaks it terribly !! And you're washing every week 😬 Get a filter. Can't have clean hair .. washing it with dirty water . (Shower Filter on Amazon for sink and shower 💯) 👍🏽 and you can't have moisturized hair washing it that often 💯 = prone to breakage
Wow this was SUPER INFORMATIVE!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!! ❤
Thank you 🤍🤍
Thank you kindly for being so informative! This helped make my decision on what to purchase!! 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you so much🤍🤍
Loved this video and answered a lot of questions, you have a new subscriber!
Thank you so much! & welcomeeee 🥳🤍
Thanks for the video! It was so informative! What you recommend the frequency of use for someone who has bleach and coloured hair? And I’m guessing using no.0 or no.3
Thank you!🤍 & I would say every wash day if you can as your hair gets healthier etc you can get away with using less frequently xxxx
Thank you so much for this video!! Exactly what I was looking for!! Love your channel!
whew...I'm glad to hear the positives becasue I just spent$$$ on the oleplex system for my color treated hair. Should we implement the ACV over no.8 moister mask?
This was fascinating, thank you! Subscribed.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed xx
Thanks soo much. You are soo informative. I watched your part 1 and 2 about porosity hair.
Thank you i hope it helped!🤍🤍
Thank you for sharing your scientific knowledge with us! ❤
How about olaplex for heat damaged hair? Is it worth it? I bought the stand alone treatment but wondering if I should use it.
No.0 is one of the best heat damage treatments I’ve ever used! Did a video on this and no.8
OLAPLEX NO.0 on type 4 natural hair with heat damage | Natural Nadine
th-cam.com/video/k1oSsxnM1Nw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! I will check out your other video.
No. 0 is not necessary but you can use it. No. 3 I saw a huge difference within the first use. The next 2 weeks I was still working even though I didn't use it. My hair was smoother and was 50% less tangled. I don't use it every wash day but maybe once a month
@@rjones181 No.0 is only necessary for damaged hair don’t think the average person needs a treatment that strong.
No 3 didn’t do much for me with regards heat damage I think it’s a better preventative treatment just to overall strengthen the hair than for heat damage
Thanks so much for this brilliant video - super informative! I often use a steamer when using conditioners/treatments on my hair and experience much better results. I wondered, can you apply 0 and 3 and then steam? Do you think that would interfere with the BADD/chemical process in a negative way? Thanks 💗
I have keratin in my hair to avoid puffiness with the weather changes and humidity in Florida. With this product help with puffiness and do I use these product and steps every week I wash my hair
Very informative, but music’s a bit too loud.
Thanks for letting me know! My newer videos have no music because it never exported properly :(
Super informative video! Thank you!
I Loved the video I learned a lot. I would like to know what you think about the k18 hair mask?
Overpriced is what I think 🤣 save your coins xx
Thanks darling 😂 I really I want to save some coins lol
Excellent overview of Olaplex
Under U.S. law, cosmetic products and ingredients do not need FDA approval before they go on the market. The one exception is color additives (other than coloring materials used in coal-tar hair dyes), which must be approved for their intended use. Btw doll do they show how much percentage is in their products?
Yep sounds right! & no they don’t which is kind of annoying it would be so helpful to select a product that way!xx
Thanks for sharing your sharing your information I’m going to purchase #8
Sure informative! Thanks for the science behind this!
Thank you hun!🤍🤍
What is your opinion on the recent lawsuits against olaplex saying its totally wrecked thousands of peoples hair? I'm in a group with 5.8 K ppl whose hair and been broken, fried, snapped at the root, thinned excessive shedding and the only products they've used are olaplex. Some the whole range others just 0 or 3 or 4 and 5 and have followed the directions to the letter. Some of the ladies have only had the in salon treatments. The pictures and stories are heartbreaking and there's no doubt its been olaplex that's done the damage. What is your take on that as someone who really knows their stuff?
They probably didn’t need to use olaplex in the 1st place ….
Thanks for information thanks so much for sharing have a wonderful blessed day today in Christ Jesus our Lord God and savior of our soul bye 👋
Thank you! God bless you🤍🤍
Do you put ACV over the conditioner??
Yep! Always xx
I was thinking about using their heat protectant for when I flat iron; I think it's #9 and was on the fence because they have recently come under fire for people going bald, so I was like, "Oh gracious".
I wouldnt recommend no.9 as a heat protectant , it’s oil based so potential to fry the hair in my opinion , stick with silicone based heat protectants to be safe xxx
You should add the 4 in 1 affiliated link
Thank you ! Love the science
Thank you! 🤍🤍
Thank you for this message.
I had to sub ur videos are so informative. Now I have a video request on this no oil, no butters thing that is going on lol
Aww thank you!😅🤍 & Okayy I’ve been wanting to talk about oils and creams for some time xx
How often should you use Olaplex 0&3
I use it every wash day! But others have experienced dry brittle hair from using olaplex too much so I would tread with caution and see how your hair likes it xx
Great review
What about hair that is greying and breaking off
personally as a black person I find Olaplex to be too light. It doesnt provide enough moisture for every day use. Their conditioners did next to nothing for me, so I make sure I use other conditioners alongside it (my favorite is Iamnubian and my next favorite is Giovanni).
-ps not my account
They are very light compared to the typical heavy products we use, I love No.8 though I don’t know if you’ve tried it but the moisture there is like no deep conditioner I’ve ever tried xxx
@@naturalnadinee I am not sure if I tried No.8 as it was several years ago since I tried the olaplex product line (these days I just occasionally use the conditionerwhich is No.4 i think?)-- but since I have watched several of your vids I realize that I have been incorrectly conditioning my hair for my entire life by not ensuring the cleanliness of my hair beforehand! I will be buying No.8 like you suggested and trying again but this time I will do things right and hopefully it will work better :-)
Have you tried the no.6 leave in? I want to know if that's worth getting.
I actually haven’t! But I don’t use leave in conditioners that often no.8 is an all time fave of mine but it’s a deep conditioner
@@naturalnadinee gotcha! The no. 8 is in my cart. Definitely looking forward to that one.
Thank You. 🙂
Thank you for sharing
No problem 🤍
Random question. I know you mentioned deodorant, which would you suggest I guess from a chemist perspective.
Haha I use Mitchum! But I was more so saying that Aluminium in deodorant doesn’t cause cancer so whichever works for you is fine xx
@@naturalnadinee but do you disagree that it can cause irritation and sensitive underarms?
Hi I’m new to your channel thank you
Would the no.8 moisture mask be suitable to use for someone with locs?
I would say so! Because it’s lightweight makes it easier to work with if you have locs as opposed to some other heavier thick DC’s and you still get the moisture xxx
@@naturalnadinee Thank you so much :)
How do I order the 4in1 moisture mask I went on the website and is 4 in1 & no. 8 the same ?
No they’re not the same , the 4in1 is in a large pump bottle xxx
How do order the jug bottle you talked about on your video , the 4 in 1?

Try these links I’m from the U.K. so not sure how it’ll work for you xxx
so if bad can join back the disulphide bonds can it reverse a perm which is basically breaking the disulphide bonds
Nope, the bond formed is an artificial bond to provide strength to weakened hair strands it cannot manipulate the texture of the hair
No one is saying how /what ORDER to use these products on POC HAIR!!!& can you mix them with other products? Like ppl are talking mostly abt how good it is but not the ingredients 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️I have used 3 only and as far as I see this product bonds the hair but does not hydrate AT ALL!!these products are simply 3 out of 20. It’s just ok not at all great or how some hype it to be.
th-cam.com/video/O7ZgWOhyXN4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kJIfhcqhDlFnGi2p I explain that in this video! Xx
Do not mix olaplex with other products and follow the instructions
Is it safe for pregnant women?
I’m Europe they have the removed the fragrance that allegedly had links to (not proven) infertility and miscarriages in high quantities. So yes it’s safe xxx
How and why is there nothing else in the market? We’ve always lives in a word of copy cat companies
They have patented the bond building ingredient so was difficult for other brands to follow but there are now lots of bond builders on the market
Thank you for this video , when looking at the ingredients list I try to avoid non soluble cones with the ingredients Amodimethicone dimethicone and trideceth -12 ,would you label the shampoo and conditioner as non soluble
Olaplex contains dimethicone x
No
can't wait for you to blow up babe
Awww thank you babe 🥺🤍🥺🤍
Sorry, knowing history, you should never be afraid to have questions about anything going in or on your body! Research and development results are only good as the person preform the tests!!!
100% agree! my point is more so to make informative questions when people are outraged about any and everything it takes away from actual things that matter. An ingredient that accounts for less that 1% of the formulation AND has barely any evidence for infertility is not worth the outrage, same with the Honey Pot outrage it was all for nothing😭 let’s make the outrage count!
Have you tried the olaplex bonding oil?
Nope not yet! I will probably try it when it’s silk press season xx
The top lol😮
I am listening, but you could have worn a better top. Very educated girl.
How do you come off saying you're a scientist but then mention cancer causing ingredients and say you're not going to address then address it anyway with a bunch of maybe this and that while looking up at the ceiling. You went from making a potential customer feel informed, to feeling like whaa, to feeling like girl go sit down somewhere!
Lots of people found this video informative and helpful, sorry you weren’t one of them! Can’t please everyone at the end of the day xx
Really girl???
Why would title this video “safe for the blacks?!” Very insensitive
Because our hair texture is different and products for other cultures may not work the same for us.
That’s What I needed to know.
@@msfit23 Exactly. The people who this video is intended for understand. Those who know, know.
There's always one looking to cause drama. If you don't like the title, don't watch.
Thank you for this my stylist recommended this product so I wanted to do some research and look at some reviews before I do, appreciate this 🫶🏽
