Love your hair tucked behind your ears Nadine. Especially love you not having to keep pushing your fringe out of your way. Fabulous explanation of the whole Olaplex system. Thanks.
I appear to have confused some of you with this video / please don’t think that there are eight steps to this treatment, there are only two at most, but eight products now available within the range. Salon steps 1 & 2 are my favourites but st home 0 & 3 are a close second. These both really work. The others you can choose to use or not. I am also aware that the company recommends using 0 and 3 on dry hair but if like me you have longish hair then I find they go further and work just as well in shampooed and squeezed dry hair so no need to shampoo a second time but just to rinse well. Hope that clears up all of your queries 💗
@@shaut9120 I’m guessing it may be because I have the North American products & they made a typo on the UK editions , but that’s only a guess. It’s strange.
You were right on point with the description in the video. Excellent & practical product user information !!! Have you tried the Joico moisture recovery products?
I was so happy when they brought the 0 out. I used 1 and 2 when I colored my hair at home (I bought it online) but I when I went back to the salon for color, e didn’t use it. I have been using 3 all along and have not suffered visible damage without 1 and 2 but I nevertheless am really thrilled about having the 0 now. I have not bothered with the shampoo and conditioner. Number 6 did nothing for me...frizz all over...and I decluttered it. I had a sample of the oil and it seemed to work well but I already had hair oil in my stash and the Olaplex did not seem revolutionary enough to displace what’s already in my drawer. I read LabMuffin’s blog post when it first was published. I was really impressed how she pulled the patent application in order to see the science. I think it’s great that you are giving her a shoutout.
I have used #3 for years at home in between salon visits. I mix #7 the oil with my Redken anti snap as a leave in before I blowdry my hair and bought #0 as soon as it launched....love it. I mostly use it once a month before I go to the salon when dying or highlighting my hair. They truly do work!!! Didn't care for the shampoo or conditioner either, I have much cheaper products that worked better for my hair. But the rest are amazing!!
So pleased to hear about this as I’m having this treatment in two weeks because highlights don’t last very long and I was told this would prepare my hair for colour.
Hi Nadine, I bought 0 and 3 based on your recommendation (I used 3 before and wasn't that impressed and only used it twice). I used 0 and 3 last week for the first time and I'm so shocked at the difference in my hair, it's almost unbelievable, it's no longer stretchy when it's wet and not breaking or snapping. I have very long, very thick bleached hair and I'll only get two uses out of the bottle of 0 but I've already ordered a second one, I think I'll be using this forever!
I have been using olaplex shampoo and conditioner for at least a year now and I have the no. 3 treatment and the styling creme. I am not consistent with the no. 3 or the creme at all. I bought the zero and used that once. I think they are all lovely products. The best thing I have noticed from use over time with the shampoo and conditioner that I am losing / shedding much much much less hair than I ever normally did. Also I have a ton of regrowth. I already have a lot of hair and thinning hair / losing hair isn’t an issue with me. I get the Brazilian blowout done on my hair at least twice at most three times a year. I heat style my hair - blow it out - after I wash it and I’ll go in with a curling iron every other day or so to refresh a style. That’s my experience with all of these products and I really recommend these products. I enjoyed your review of this brand! Thank you!
Wow!! Thank you so much for producing this video. I have steps 3-7 at home but didn't realise the active ingredient needs wet hair. This has literally given me a light bulb moment and makes complete sense. I've been using step 3 as a leave in overnight! I'm definitely going to ask for 1&2 when I have a colour in salon. Thank you, so so helpful ☺
For some reason none of the high end salons near me offer Olaplex treatments. The closet place is a rundown salon in a strip mall and they have bad reviews online. I've been waiting for years to see if they would come up with a stronger at home step. Really excited to try this!
Thank you so much for giving us the in depth understanding of Olaplex. My hair turned in broomstick. Now my hair is getting softer and the shine is getting back. Olaplex ❤️
I really appreciate this honest review. I have the 3.4.5 and 6 of the Olaplex. I have followed instructions and I find that my hair is drier on the ends, the colour has gone more brassy and my head feels itchy. I think that there are other products out there which do a better job at this price point such as Kerastase. Interesting what you say about silicones having a bad rep - my hairdresser wants me to avoid using silicones and SLS but I think it trashes my hair.
I’m using 1 and 2 in salon, 3 at home and just started to use the oil. I had been putting the oil on dry hair before straightening but I won’t bother now! Thanks Nadine x
I thought i was the only one. Granted my hair was extremely damaged but ive seen testimonies of people with gummy hair getting repair with the no. 3 and that just was not my experience.
Thank u....this is great! I was using no. 3 and it did nothing for my hair. I’m going to get no. 0 and try that! Also......have you ever tried the Redken Lamellar Water?! That is the product that EVERYONE is raving about doe blondes and it’s supposed to be a miracle. Would love to know if you have tried that!!
It does work! I've repaired my hair at home with the shampoo/conditioner, 3, 6, and bond oil. I just wish the packaging was easier to use, getting the Nr. 6 out of the bottle is very hard, I have to use the end of an unused toothbrush.
Very interesting. I did not realise it was not going to make my hair feel conditioned and was just repairing it. Had given up because of that. Thank you for explanation. Will try No. 0 now. Thank you.
Your hair is looking great. I use products with Silicon too. Not all the time, but honestly my hair just looks, feels, and styles so much better for it. Thanks for the heads up with the Olaplex Zero. Have you had a look at Knight and Wilson Pureplex? You can get it in Boots. Its a four step system and it's a fraction of the price of Olaplex. The ingredients may not be the same but it does a damn good job! Oh, and Bonacure Peptide Repair Rescue Sealed Ends is a fantastic leave in. Ignore the name, it undersells itself. It does it all.
Thanks Nadine. Still confused. So let's break it down (not mentioning 1 and 2 because they are not at home products) Sooo. First shampoo and condition (4 and 5) Towel dry hair and add Olaplex 0, wait ten minutes then add 3, wait another ten minutes and rinse. Add Olaplex 6 (leave in conditioner) and Olaplex 7 then blow dry and be happy Please let me know if I have this correct? Thanks so much
I’ve had the salon treatment in colouring and noticed a difference the first time but not subsequently. Shampoo/Conditioner really foamy and irritating my scalp (live up north & softer water?) Leave in is nice but think it’s a tad over priced and hyped, some of our salons have switched to Davines or Kevin Murphy instead.
Hi Nadine, I’m interested by you saying to apply 0 to wet / damp hair. I recall the instructions said to apply it to dry hair and saturate with the product. I used it this way and was very underwhelmed. I have long-ish very thick hair and it took half the bottle to saturate and the applicator made it very time consuming! Would using it on wet hair make a difference to the result? Love your TH-cam and Instagram! X
same! I felt I had to apply loads to saturate and hate the bottle, would rather it be a spray tbh! Might use on slightly damp next time so see if any difference! X
I really appreciate you explaining why the hair needs to be wet!! I love no.3. So we get our hair wet and use 0 and 3 let it set and then wash out and shampoo? Or do we shampoo before zero? Thank you!
Using the 3 saved a really damaging highlight job I had last year. This year I’ve gone platinum and now use 3, 4, 5 & 6. I love the shampoo and conditioner. You only need a tiny bit of each. My hairdresser used 1& 2 when bleaching and my hair still feels so healthy.
I’ve only used the home products and they have been a game changer for me. Not too sure no1 does anything, not not keen on the shampoo, nos 6 and 7, but I find even if I leave no 2 or no 3 in for 5 mins in the shower they make a big difference. My hair is just past shoulder length, fine and straightish but years of dodgy home colouring and highlighting have left it battered, split and breaking up. I do use about 5 pumps of any serum afterwards though but the serum on its own doesn’t work the same.
And weirdly I have learnt that it’s important for my straight hair to comb the wet hair through before and after putting it on, otherwise i can look like I’ve got a wet perm after towel drying it! It dries straight but it’s a bit alarming if ever I forget.
I have pretty healthy, virgin hair but I swim a lot so in the summer it gets a bit meh. This year, I started using olaplex 3 every couple of weeks and it was a gamechanger!
olaplex has been the saviour of my hair after lockdown meant no cuts and it all broke off. been using all the steps for 8 weeks and i cant believe the improvement. and the shampoo goes for miles, i used 1/3 shampoo to one bottle conditioner
Olaplex is great! I’ve been using it continuously for 3 years. I get a trim to even out my hair, but I don’t have noticeable split ends anymore. My hair is chemically straightened. I’ve been using 0 for over a month. I haven’t noticed anything, but that’s a good thing. I alternate with using a night moisturizing treatment to balance the improved structure with softness. Ahhh! My hair has never been more tangly! I’m an African-mixed with everyone, and even my natural hair was never so tangled! I don’t fight it. I don’t try to comb it out until after a few minutes with conditioner. I started with a short bob and bangs, but my hair is past my shoulders, now. Could you recommend some shampoo and conditioners with silicone?
Thanks Nadine. I would just say that I've used Olaplex on and off from its earliest days, and have often glopped 2 or 3 on my dry hair, left 30mins, shampooed and conditioned ... Voila, hair like a child, soft, shiny - almost too soft. Can't explain that, but thought I would just throw it into the mix! Oh, I got the idea from someone here on youtube who is always bleaching and dyeing her hair. Can't remember her now, but think she may have been Chinese. X
To use No.0, simply: Apply the No.0 to clean dry hair. Comb the product through to ensure saturation. Wait 10 minutes, then apply OLAPLEX No.3 Hair Perfector directly on top of No.0. Comb again to saturate thoroughly, then let the treatment sit for another ten minutes. This treatment is a minimum of 20 minutes, though, just like the No.3 on its own, more significant results occur when keeping it on longer! Once completed, rinse, shampoo, and condition. We recommend the OLAPLEX No. 4 Shampoo and OLAPLEX No.5 Conditioner.
I thought I was going crazy, everytime I used my Olaplex 3-5 my hair would get frizzy and dry. I switched to Virtue shampoo and conditioner and my hair became silky again. I wonder if I was doing it wrong...I don’t know if it’s worth spending more money on this range to get it to “work”. Maybe the more damage the better it works?
Same thing happened to my hair. I think some products are just not meant for some people's hair. This is the first time I've spent so much money on a product that does not work. Not a happy consumer here.
I’m mixed race, curly thick hair and I love olaplex maybe it works really well on me as my hair takes an age to dry! I always condition my hair afterwards as it still needs moisture, then I get lovely curl definition. I can’t use silicons on my hair as they seal the shaft which means I can’t add moisture to my hair afterwards and products just sit on the top of my hair, but it’s a great product for someone with Nadine’s type of hair as it makes it sleek and shiny. It’s the same with sulphates in shampoo.. I wouldn’t use them as l’ve got dry curly hair ... it’s really just a question of using what’s appropriate for you, there’s no need to demonise something just cos it’s not for you.
Just buy it. I bought it a few months ago. Its really good. I bought the No3. Make sure that you use it BEFORE you shampoo. As a treatment I love the shampoo (no 4 I think.) You use the tiniest amount. I need to now buy stepb1 and 2.
3 was great when I was bleaching my short hair. Now I’ve grown out the colour, I use it once a month or so as it seems to spring my curls up. Haven’t tried any of the others as don’t need them.
I’m surprised you say that you don’t see immediate results- I have so far only used shampoo, conditioner, and 6, and they alone have made a big difference! I have natural blonde + highlighted to death hair. I just haven’t done No. 3 yet because it requires time and effort, but it’s in my bathroom waiting!
Awesome review! I didn't know it works with water! 0 is supposed to be applied to dry hair according to instructions...I wonder why? Seems to me you would utterly and essentially be wasting the product to apply it that way. I'm getting a steamer to see if this helps it. Excellent review thank you! Smiles and blessings...
If it's cheaper I'll check it out because I love olaplex for my curly hair. It used to always break and now my hair is fuller just because it does not break as much.
@Zeyna Nd Please don’t waste your money on Ion. I know this is anecdotal evidence but it (Ion) didn’t do *anything* for my hair whereas Olaplex did after a while. Ion doesn’t have the patented ingredient (Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate); it just contains proteins & emulsifiers. You most likely will be as severely disappointed as I was. Take care!✌️😚
Great video Nadine, thanks! So you would apply 0 on damp hair and then follow with 3, how long do you leave it in? Do you rinse it afterwards with just water or shampoo?
Hello! I just wondered why you start with wet hair when the official instructions say dry hair. Also, I've read else where that if you leave it on longer than 10 mins it has no/detrimental effects especially on blondes who colour their hair. Could you let me know what you think? Thank you x
Would love to hear your thoughts on Phillip Kingsley Elasticizer. Also, any reviews/thoughts on light therapy for the scalp? Thinking of investing but need more data. Thanks
Thank you I have the line and was using it wrong. I didn't wet my hair and that is the issue. I will correct. I will sat my hair is the longest it has ever grown. It is shocking. But because I did somethings wrong it has some breakage but no split ends and I used to always have split ends. I will do it right and fix my error. Thanks!!
I'm confused (easy done, sorry). So, when you say it "only works on wet hair" and "once your hair is dry, the BADD stops working", does that mean it becomes ineffective completely? I mean, surely the BADD, that's already in the hair shaft, has done it's job and is, therefore, permanent. Or, does the hair revert to back to it's previous dry, damaged mess, once it has been shampooed? Again, apologies for my ridiculous state of confusion. 💗
Obviously, the hair will not go back to its previous state, but I am sure you already know that. So the product works while the hair is wet (10 mins application), then rinse. Then condition (or not) and dry your hair. Boom, done.
I use the whole range of OLAPLEX along with PHILIP KINGSLEY ELASTICIZER. My hair has never got that long that fast and that is because it has stopped breaking.
I use them once a week. Once Olaplex and the second the Elasticizer as I wash twice a week. I haven’t used the elasticizer more than five times I bought it last month and I bought yhe 150 ml but I liked it so now I bought the 500ml. I think they both work well.
Caterina Iona I think that you’ll like it, I’ve used it for many years and the elasticizer is the one I alway come back to. I used it last night and the blow dry I did with my Dyson air wrap worked so well. I tend to chop and change between several brands ,x
Many thanks. Last time I looked the 0 wasn’t available, but am delighted it now is. As far as I can see cult beauty have the two step kit and space nk only the 0. For exactly the same price 🤷♀️Unless I misunderstood. Anyway I’ve ordered from cult beauty. In my 60s and growing my hair, so need any help I can get!
I really like your hair like this at the front but I hope you’ve not styled it like this due to that nasty comment about you fiddling with your hair. Jo Good always gets the same thing and it’s not nice.
Hi All, just a quick feedback on this as I found it to be a little confusing. The stated percentage of the "BADD" in the different products is slightly off. Also N3 it is not a "at home conditioning treatment" but a Pre-Shampoo. The reason is that it is very highly proteinised and if used incorrectly it can damage the hair further (just like any protein products from any brand). Olaplex N1 must always be followed by N2 for it to be fully working. One is the new bonds creator and the other is the new bonds sealer. Not sure of what Nadine means by "Steaming the product" but that is all fluff to make money. They just work wonderfully at the backwash with no extra heat or anything. I love the rest of the line and I use it myself everyday. PS: I am a professional hairstylist who works with this products everyday multiple times a day and I am particularly attached to ingredients and formulations. PPS: I Love `Nadine and respect her very much (would not be subscribed otherwise) but I just found it all a little unclear xx
I have had 1/2 at the back basin and with gentle steam (just to keep it moist I think). Both worked well. I use N3 as a leave on mask for twenty mins once a week but just rinse well as I found no results with shampooing it out x no one knows the official % btw as even Olaplex don’t release them, so I based my guesses on lab muffin x
Nadine Baggott thank you so much for your response. I guess the steaming is used just to open up the cuticle a bit more although it wouldn’t make sense if it was after colour as that would make the fade quicker. Thank you again for the reply xx
Your hair looks amazing for no styling products. Did you just dry your hair after using Olaplex? If so what number did you use. Great video as always 😘
Not a fan of the dimethicone. My hair does not love it at all. I love step 3, but when I purchased the the full holiday set last year my hair was smooth but horrifically dry. I knew immediately, before I checked the ingredients that it had silicone in it- coupled with the alcohol it made my hair mat up in about 24 hours. I had to take a steamer and some tried and true products to my hair to save it. I love number 3 and I will definitely try #0, but kinky/ coily ladies may want to stay FAAAAR away from the rest of the line.
FANTASTIC VIDEO, ONE OF THE MOST INFORMATIVE I HAVE EVER SEEEN!!!🥇🤩🍹THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! What do you think about No8? You definitely have a new group of subs coming your way!!!🤗
I don’t have a problem with slogans in my skin care however for curly girls, silicones can confuse the curl pattern and build up. I love Olaplex 3 now I am going to add 0!
Hi Nadine, totally unrelated to this video (!!) but I wonder if you could recommend a moisturising SPF please? I currently use Your good skin at the moment, but I feel I need something more moisturising ( I’m 61 by the way!) thank you x
I can find the “0” kit in the U.K. from CultBeauty and Sally’s but nowhere else - yet - any idea if we’re going to start seeing it in Boots’s or Superdrug (or Amazon) any time soon as I prefer to buy in the shops or all from one company as I don’t like having accounts with 200 different companies.
So there is ways of getting the salon step 1/2. How would this be used? In the same way as step 0? Some Hairdressers sell it on depop. Deffo will be getting step 0 though
You dilute step one buy 9/1 with water and apply to dry hair leave for ten mins and apply 2 and then wrap in plastic cap and wait an hour then shampoo x
I would love to buy this line but it's so expensive. Anyone know a site where it goes on sale once in a while? The few sites I've tried that send out coupons always excludes Olaplex from their discount codes. 😢
When Sephora has sales they usually include olaplex products in their 2 major sales of the year. Dermstore recently did a 3x bonus points for Olaplex products.
@@hollymorgan7420 Thanks so much! I'll watch out for the Sephora sales. Didn't even know they sold Olaplex ... thought they just had make-up and skincare products.
Hi Nadine - my mum has been diagnosed with alopecia and is loosing her hair rapidly. She’s in Norway and it doesn’t seem like they are giving her anything to treat it. I’m in the US and it seems like there are some things I can buy. Do you have any idea about any of this ? What can I do to help her? I feel so bad for her and it happened out of nowhere 😞
How does this compare with Brazilian keratin treatments ? Have you reviewed those at all and in particular any at home treatments as it so expensive in salon
I really enjoy your videos, but for the last wee while, that toy behind you with (what I thought) was a big long nose freaked me out coz it reminds me of that horrible scene in clockwork orange! 😱. However, on closer inspection today, turns out its a wee cat 🐈 🤣🤣 What a tit I am 🤣 xxx
I was so annoyed this didn’t work for my hair - turned my hair frizzy & awful - my hairdresser told me it was too much protein for my hair to cope with!
My hair didn't turn frizzy but dry as tinder, which it wasn't before. Their website claims your hair will feel "silky soft". Have used it 3 times in 3 weeks: numbers 3, 4 and 5. Applied really good hair masks in between (I wash my hair twice a week). My hair is like straw now. SO disappointed with this product.
Nadine .. I bought the Olaplex 0 and it states to apply to dry hair ???? Saturate, leave for 10 mins then apply no 3 and leave for another 10 mins. Rinse and shampoo.

same! I felt I had to apply loads to saturate and hate the bottle, would rather it be a spray tbh! Might use on slightly damp next time so see if any difference! X
TheElfin24 I bought a spray bottle from the hair accessories section in Boots to apply it- saves wastage
exactly the same for me. My hair is so thick I couldn't get it all saturated. i might try towel dried hair instead
@@bettybreeze78 yes was thinking of decanting and doing the same!! X
I really appreciate you explaining why the hair needs to be wet!! I love no.3. So we get our hair wet and use 0 and 3 let it set and then wash out and shampoo? Or do we shampoo before zero? Thank you!
Apply zero then apply 3 leave on over night, then use the shampoo and conditioner in the morning.
Using the 3 saved a really damaging highlight job I had last year. This year I’ve gone platinum and now use 3, 4, 5 & 6. I love the shampoo and conditioner. You only need a tiny bit of each. My hairdresser used 1& 2 when bleaching and my hair still feels so healthy.
I’ve only used the home products and they have been a game changer for me. Not too sure no1 does anything, not not keen on the shampoo, nos 6 and 7, but I find even if I leave no 2 or no 3 in for 5 mins in the shower they make a big difference. My hair is just past shoulder length, fine and straightish but years of dodgy home colouring and highlighting have left it battered, split and breaking up. I do use about 5 pumps of any serum afterwards though but the serum on its own doesn’t work the same.
And weirdly I have learnt that it’s important for my straight hair to comb the wet hair through before and after putting it on, otherwise i can look like I’ve got a wet perm after towel drying it! It dries straight but it’s a bit alarming if ever I forget.
I have pretty healthy, virgin hair but I swim a lot so in the summer it gets a bit meh. This year, I started using olaplex 3 every couple of weeks and it was a gamechanger!
olaplex has been the saviour of my hair after lockdown meant no cuts and it all broke off. been using all the steps for 8 weeks and i cant believe the improvement. and the shampoo goes for miles, i used 1/3 shampoo to one bottle conditioner
Free layers, nice :) your hair looks great 🖤
Thanks for your video - please could you do a video on types of beauty advent calendars
You are so clever - everything u post I adore 🥰
Great vid and info Nadine! Got the No.3 in a bundle of products and been itching to try it. Wanted to find info about it so thank you ♥️
Thank you! I had bought the zero and had no idea what it was all about!
Olaplex is great! I’ve been using it continuously for 3 years. I get a trim to even out my hair, but I don’t have noticeable split ends anymore. My hair is chemically straightened. I’ve been using 0 for over a month. I haven’t noticed anything, but that’s a good thing. I alternate with using a night moisturizing treatment to balance the improved structure with softness. Ahhh! My hair has never been more tangly! I’m an African-mixed with everyone, and even my natural hair was never so tangled! I don’t fight it. I don’t try to comb it out until after a few minutes with conditioner. I started with a short bob and bangs, but my hair is past my shoulders, now. Could you recommend some shampoo and conditioners with silicone?
Yes I need my silicones too ♥️
I see such a big difference with the at home products. I've got wavy hair that is dry and damaged. I had never tried it before I could get No. 0.
Thanks Nadine. I would just say that I've used Olaplex on and off from its earliest days, and have often glopped 2 or 3 on my dry hair, left 30mins, shampooed and conditioned ... Voila, hair like a child, soft, shiny - almost too soft. Can't explain that, but thought I would just throw it into the mix! Oh, I got the idea from someone here on youtube who is always bleaching and dyeing her hair. Can't remember her now, but think she may have been Chinese. X
To use No.0, simply: Apply the No.0 to clean dry hair. Comb the product through to ensure saturation. Wait 10 minutes, then apply OLAPLEX No.3 Hair Perfector directly on top of No.0. Comb again to saturate thoroughly, then let the treatment sit for another ten minutes. This treatment is a minimum of 20 minutes, though, just like the No.3 on its own, more significant results occur when keeping it on longer! Once completed, rinse, shampoo, and condition. We recommend the OLAPLEX No. 4 Shampoo and OLAPLEX No.5 Conditioner.
I thought I was going crazy, everytime I used my Olaplex 3-5 my hair would get frizzy and dry. I switched to Virtue shampoo and conditioner and my hair became silky again. I wonder if I was doing it wrong...I don’t know if it’s worth spending more money on this range to get it to “work”. Maybe the more damage the better it works?
Same thing happened to my hair. I think some products are just not meant for some people's hair. This is the first time I've spent so much money on a product that does not work. Not a happy consumer here.
I’m using the 3 since a while! I bought the entire line!!
I’m mixed race, curly thick hair and I love olaplex maybe it works really well on me as my hair takes an age to dry!
I always condition my hair afterwards as it still needs moisture, then I get lovely curl definition.
I can’t use silicons on my hair as they seal the shaft which means I can’t add moisture to my hair afterwards and products just sit on the top of my hair, but it’s a great product for someone with Nadine’s type of hair as it makes it sleek and shiny.
It’s the same with sulphates in shampoo.. I wouldn’t use them as l’ve got dry curly hair ... it’s really just a question of using what’s appropriate for you, there’s no need to demonise something just cos it’s not for you.
I've got steps 0-5 and 7, gues I need to get 6 too! I definitely feel the difference on breakages from it.
I love the new 0 range it’s amazing on my bleached hair 💕
Literally came at the right time, I was considering getting this, my hair has been so brittle and dead!
Just buy it.
I bought it a few months ago.
Its really good.
I bought the No3.
Make sure that you use it BEFORE you shampoo.
As a treatment I love the shampoo (no 4 I think.)
You use the tiniest amount.
I need to now buy stepb1 and 2.
Great video. Thankyou. But the active is actually ‘Bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate’
I have 0 and 3-7!! I absolutely love them. Do you personally put 7 on dry or wet hair? I sometimes mix 6 and 7 together which works so well.
I use it on damp hair but now I’m going to mix them x
Highly interested to see how it works. Thank you.
I've used olaplex in salon for years and now the salon shifted to inalox foam , it's doing the same thing I guess. Do you have any idea?
3 was great when I was bleaching my short hair. Now I’ve grown out the colour, I use it once a month or so as it seems to spring my curls up. Haven’t tried any of the others as don’t need them.
I’m surprised you say that you don’t see immediate results- I have so far only used shampoo, conditioner, and 6, and they alone have made a big difference! I have natural blonde + highlighted to death hair. I just haven’t done No. 3 yet because it requires time and effort, but it’s in my bathroom waiting!
Can you show how you style your hair, Nadine? So effortlessly chic and classic.
Cassie Wicklund she did a blow dry video step by step ages ago if you search. She made it look effortless
Awesome review! I didn't know it works with water! 0 is supposed to be applied to dry hair according to instructions...I wonder why? Seems to me you would utterly and essentially be wasting the product to apply it that way. I'm getting a steamer to see if this helps it. Excellent review thank you! Smiles and blessings...
In the US you can get the dupes at Sally Beauty from Ion, Absolute Perfection Steps 1 & 2. Works great! 😘
There are no exact dupes as it’s patented but yet there are a few copies that use a similar but not the same molecule x
If it's cheaper I'll check it out because I love olaplex for my curly hair. It used to always break and now my hair is fuller just because it does not break as much.
@Zeyna Nd Please don’t waste your money on Ion. I know this is anecdotal evidence but it (Ion) didn’t do *anything* for my hair whereas Olaplex did after a while. Ion doesn’t have the patented ingredient (Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate); it just contains proteins & emulsifiers. You most likely will be as severely disappointed as I was.
Take care!✌️😚
Great video Nadine, thanks! So you would apply 0 on damp hair and then follow with 3, how long do you leave it in? Do you rinse it afterwards with just water or shampoo?
I leave for up to an hour then just rinse well x I think my way is easier and the product goes further if your hair is long
Lab Muffin is brilliant
Hello! I just wondered why you start with wet hair when the official instructions say dry hair. Also, I've read else where that if you leave it on longer than 10 mins it has no/detrimental effects especially on blondes who colour their hair. Could you let me know what you think? Thank you x
Thanks so much for sharing this! We appreciate your attention to detail and support!
Your hair looks so pretty! What currently shampoo- cond- etc hair regime - are you using? Ty❣️
Would love to hear your thoughts on Phillip Kingsley Elasticizer. Also, any reviews/thoughts on light therapy for the scalp? Thinking of investing but need more data. Thanks
Heather Dean if you mean the theradome pro, I have one, it’s really helped.
She has talked about Elasticizer. She likes it.
Thank you I have the line and was using it wrong. I didn't wet my hair and that is the issue. I will correct. I will sat my hair is the longest it has ever grown. It is shocking. But because I did somethings wrong it has some breakage but no split ends and I used to always have split ends. I will do it right and fix my error. Thanks!!
I love you snd your videos!!! How often would you recommend to use the 0?
I'm confused (easy done, sorry). So, when you say it "only works on wet hair" and "once your hair is dry, the BADD stops working", does that mean it becomes ineffective completely?
I mean, surely the BADD, that's already in the hair shaft, has done it's job and is, therefore, permanent.
Or, does the hair revert to back to it's previous dry, damaged mess, once it has been shampooed?
Again, apologies for my ridiculous state of confusion. 💗
Obviously, the hair will not go back to its previous state, but I am sure you already know that. So the product works while the hair is wet (10 mins application), then rinse. Then condition (or not) and dry your hair. Boom, done.
I had the shampoo and conditioner and it was okay. I think there are better products out there.
Yes my daughter uses the range in her colours salon in Manchester
I use the whole range of OLAPLEX along with PHILIP KINGSLEY ELASTICIZER. My hair has never got that long that fast and that is because it has stopped breaking.
Caterina Iona same here and Philip Kingsley I’ve used for many years now and it’s great,.
I use them once a week. Once Olaplex and the second the Elasticizer as I wash twice a week. I haven’t used the elasticizer more than five times I bought it last month and I bought yhe 150 ml but I liked it so now I bought the 500ml. I think they both work well.
Caterina Iona I think that you’ll like it, I’ve used it for many years and the elasticizer is the one I alway come back to. I used it last night and the blow dry I did with my Dyson air wrap worked so well. I tend to chop and change between several brands ,x
anna ahlander me too xx
I tried Olapex Shampoo and Conditioner but found the scent overpowering!
If I use No 3 after No 0, do I rinse after. And how long does No 3 need to stay in my hair before rinsing?
Many thanks. Last time I looked the 0 wasn’t available, but am delighted it now is. As far as I can see cult beauty have the two step kit and space nk only the 0. For exactly the same price 🤷♀️Unless I misunderstood. Anyway I’ve ordered from cult beauty. In my 60s and growing my hair, so need any help I can get!
I really like your hair like this at the front but I hope you’ve not styled it like this due to that nasty comment about you fiddling with your hair. Jo Good always gets the same thing and it’s not nice.
Hi All, just a quick feedback on this as I found it to be a little confusing. The stated percentage of the "BADD" in the different products is slightly off. Also N3 it is not a "at home conditioning treatment" but a Pre-Shampoo. The reason is that it is very highly proteinised and if used incorrectly it can damage the hair further (just like any protein products from any brand). Olaplex N1 must always be followed by N2 for it to be fully working. One is the new bonds creator and the other is the new bonds sealer. Not sure of what Nadine means by "Steaming the product" but that is all fluff to make money. They just work wonderfully at the backwash with no extra heat or anything. I love the rest of the line and I use it myself everyday. PS: I am a professional hairstylist who works with this products everyday multiple times a day and I am particularly attached to ingredients and formulations. PPS: I Love `Nadine and respect her very much (would not be subscribed otherwise) but I just found it all a little unclear xx
I have had 1/2 at the back basin and with gentle steam (just to keep it moist I think). Both worked well. I use N3 as a leave on mask for twenty mins once a week but just rinse well as I found no results with shampooing it out x no one knows the official % btw as even Olaplex don’t release them, so I based my guesses on lab muffin x
Nadine Baggott thank you so much for your response. I guess the steaming is used just to open up the cuticle a bit more although it wouldn’t make sense if it was after colour as that would make the fade quicker. Thank you again for the reply xx
Nadine, do you think it would work on grey hair as mine is dry. Your hair is looking beautiful.😊
No 0 is a game changer. Its fantastic stuff.
Your hair looks amazing for no styling products. Did you just dry your hair after using Olaplex? If so what number did you use. Great video as always 😘
I blow dry then use the jumbo Babyliss tong to flip the ends x
I ordered this from Space NK and they don’t include any of the “3” with the “0”. Rather than a kit as shown here they have to be purchased separately.
cult beauty do the kit
Not a fan of the dimethicone. My hair does not love it at all. I love step 3, but when I purchased the the full holiday set last year my hair was smooth but horrifically dry. I knew immediately, before I checked the ingredients that it had silicone in it- coupled with the alcohol it made my hair mat up in about 24 hours. I had to take a steamer and some tried and true products to my hair to save it.
I love number 3 and I will definitely try #0, but kinky/ coily ladies may want to stay FAAAAR away from the rest of the line.
Love how you explain things. Thanks 💕
Yes, truly truly does.
Hi Nadine, what are your thoughts on loreal Smartbond on how it compares? My hairdresser uses the Loeeal and says it's the same thing?
FANTASTIC VIDEO, ONE OF THE MOST INFORMATIVE I HAVE EVER SEEEN!!!🥇🤩🍹THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!
What do you think about No8? You definitely have a new group of subs coming your way!!!🤗
I don’t have a problem with slogans in my skin care however for curly girls, silicones can confuse the curl pattern and build up. I love Olaplex 3 now I am going to add 0!
I want to know what is the difference between olaplex and Philip Kingsley elasticizer treatment? Are these two different things or same?
Hi Nadine, totally unrelated to this video (!!) but I wonder if you could recommend a moisturising SPF please? I currently use Your good skin at the moment, but I feel I need something more moisturising ( I’m 61 by the way!) thank you x
how safe is it? do we really know?
I love the way you explain the technology.
I can find the “0” kit in the U.K. from CultBeauty and Sally’s but nowhere else - yet - any idea if we’re going to start seeing it in Boots’s or Superdrug (or Amazon) any time soon as I prefer to buy in the shops or all from one company as I don’t like having accounts with 200 different companies.
So there is ways of getting the salon step 1/2. How would this be used? In the same way as step 0? Some Hairdressers sell it on depop.
Deffo will be getting step 0 though
You dilute step one buy 9/1 with water and apply to dry hair leave for ten mins and apply 2 and then wrap in plastic cap and wait an hour then shampoo x
Great video Nadine thanks for sharing.
Badddd, I’d have laughed! It’s funny 😄
Hi! Great!!! But do you put the conditioner (3) on top of 0 and let them.both on for 10 minutes?
You look stunning today Nadine!
I would love to buy this line but it's so expensive. Anyone know a site where it goes on sale once in a while? The few sites I've tried that send out coupons always excludes Olaplex from their discount codes. 😢
Cindy N amazon
When Sephora has sales they usually include olaplex products in their 2 major sales of the year. Dermstore recently did a 3x bonus points for Olaplex products.
@@hollymorgan7420 Thanks so much! I'll watch out for the Sephora sales. Didn't even know they sold Olaplex ... thought they just had make-up and skincare products.
They have bought a try me set for Xmas with small sizes of everything
Hi Nadine - my mum has been diagnosed with alopecia and is loosing her hair rapidly. She’s in Norway and it doesn’t seem like they are giving her anything to treat it. I’m in the US and it seems like there are some things I can buy. Do you have any idea about any of this ? What can I do to help her? I feel so bad for her and it happened out of nowhere 😞
i have dry frizzy curly hair , which products would you reccommend please ? i air dry and dont use any heat
How does this compare with Brazilian keratin treatments ? Have you reviewed those at all and in particular any at home treatments as it so expensive in salon
I really enjoy your videos, but for the last wee while, that toy behind you with (what I thought) was a big long nose freaked me out coz it reminds me of that horrible scene in clockwork orange! 😱. However, on closer inspection today, turns out its a wee cat 🐈 🤣🤣 What a tit I am 🤣 xxx
Wait, so the technology in olaplex 6&7 won’t work if you apply it on dry hair? Even though olaplex says that it can be used that way?
I was so annoyed this didn’t work for my hair - turned my hair frizzy & awful - my hairdresser told me it was too much protein for my hair to cope with!
My hair didn't turn frizzy but dry as tinder, which it wasn't before. Their website claims your hair will feel "silky soft". Have used it 3 times in 3 weeks: numbers 3, 4 and 5. Applied really good hair masks in between (I wash my hair twice a week). My hair is like straw now. SO disappointed with this product.
Nadine .. I bought the Olaplex 0 and it states to apply to dry hair ???? Saturate, leave for 10 mins then apply no 3 and leave for another 10 mins. Rinse and shampoo.
Olaplex says to apply no 0 to dry hair for 10 minutes. Then apply no 3 for 10 min. Rinse shampoo and condition.
I’m lazy and would rather go to salon. What a complicated system and 8 stages?! Goodness me plus negative reviews about the small nozzle...
