I believe Olaplex is used to either prevent damage when bleaching or if used as a separate treatmeant it'll do its best to restore your hair follicle to the way it would be in its virgin state. So if your virgin hair is naturally like that, then Olaplex won't really smooth it out because it's not a topical, silicone solution.
It’s basically meant to be a bond builder to repair damage to your hair whether bleach, tension damage, etc. but yeah it’s not gonna make your air dry smoothly or anything, it’s just meant to repair damage to the hair and make it feel more moisturized, smooth and shiny
Their website says you can use olaplex on virgin hair. There are other factors that come into damage such as heat styling and weather conditions, and olaplex can help keep the bond in tact to prevent any unnecessary splitting.
Great video! So the Olaplex Number 3 is a treatment that helps to re link the broken bonds in our hair that break due to coloring, heat styling, and mechanical styling (brushing), Olaplex themselves state that Number 3 is not a traditional conditioning treatment, that you would use after shampooing your hair which may be why you may not be seeing the results you’re looking for. I think you would really like Olaplex Number 6, which is a bond smoothing leave in conditioner! You can leave it in your hair to air dry or blow dry with it. If you mix it with a little of the Number 7 Oil from Olaplex, it works as a heat protectant as well against blow drying, and really helps to smooth out the cuticle of the hair from frizz. It can be quite heavy so a little of it goes a long way, but I think you would really like it, and see more noticeable results!
The highest percentage of the active compound bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate outside of the salon only Olaplex 1 and 2 is in 0. 6 and 7 will help a little and keep the hair smoother but 0 and 3 together actually reform the hair bonds.
That makes sense as to why it didnt work for me, cause I dye my hair with henna and henna fills in those damaged gaps in my hair. It worked for my mum though, who is in her 50s and she has started to get very dry and thick hair cuz of the hormonal changes as comes with ageing.
Olaplex is a line that works over time. It strengthens your hair so that the things that usually damage it won't affect it as much. But you don't see results right away or until your do drastic damage like bleaching your hair
Try using olaplex 0 and 3 together works amazing And multiple times a week! One treatment isn’t going to do anything and most people use the oil and number 6 to get the maximum results.
I found something called “hair gloss” which it’s basically hair dye without pigment, it makes your hair shiny, but it may not work on your hair the same because of texture. It may be worth a try, though!!
The best results I had with olaplex was leaving it in for most of the day. My hair was bleached and it worked a treat repairing that damage a bond builder. Because it's not a conditioning treatment I don't think it will do much else other than help with damage x
@@tatiana1994cr her hair isn’t dry... dry hair is how much water is in your hair. Humidity controls that. Her hair is not exactly damaged but i think the keratin treatment played a role. Plus olaplex cannot fix damaged hair. The only thing that fixes split ends is scissors.

For me, Olaplex No 3 shows the best results when I wear it curly afterwards. It’s soo bouncy and more spirally, even better than with a protein treatment 😊
To be honest when my hair was always drying frizzy, I used to just apply a hair styler and braid my hair and I always slept in braids. You’ll have beautiful wavy hair by the end of it but it might not be your ideal hair look.
@@IsabellaDemarko if you're aiming for heatless straight hair, you can just put a kardoune on (Idk if it's available in the US but you never know lol). It's a ribbon we use here in Algeria, you wrap it aaaaaall around your strands to protect them from friction.
Nope not always. I have the exact same hair with isabella and even though when i do the cgm it is better and a lot curlier, its still frizzy when air dryed!
Thank you for your work on this channel. Your channel is helping me a lot to accept myself and my hair. I have wavy hair and the same hair problems as you. Your hair really looks just like mine, it's crazy because I never saw a person with the same hair problems as me. My hair doesn't look good whatever I do with them. The only way to go outside without feeling of shame was to pin up my hair tightly or to straighten them. Those weren't good solutions because I was demaging my hair. I tried Curly Girl Method for more than a year and didn't see any results. Thanks to you I started accepting that my hair will be never just like hair of other girls but it's not a bad thing. I stopped CG method and I'm trying to stop worring about my hair. It really helps with my menthal health. Thanks you, you really helped me a lot
As a hairdresser I can say that this product is made to rebuild the hair rather than smooth hair that is just naturally not particularly smooth. Some people may see smoothing effects from olaplex no3 if their frizz is caused by damage though x
When I had bleach and heat damage, olaplex no.3 restored my hair and only a few months!!! Now I have all my curls back and it’s CRAZYYYY, i never thought I would have curly hair like this
Frizzy girl here! Just wanted to share some things I've learned/realized lately about my hair. I've learned a lot actually from watch sarah ingle's videos since she has read this whole textbook on hair chemistry and it's fascinating! i've realized my hair hates moisture and that's why it's frizzy. I've tried the curly girl method of using liquid conditioner then oil and i just never got the results i wanted. i did however mix up once and put the oil first and then water and conditioner after and it gave me much better results. that was my first clue. for frizzy hair, you need protectants. u did a whole video on silicones and it was great! you mentioned oiling and i wonder why that's not in your routine more it seems like? choosing the right type of oil for your hair is important though. i realized i need to put oil on my dry hair everyday in order to protect it from the elements. that's why the top layer of my hair is frizzier than the underneath layer. but the key is to get the balance of oil right because using too much will lead you to using too much shampoo. and that's the other thing. unless shampoo has a really low ph (3.5 for curly-5 for straight) it's bad!! i can shampoo only once a week, and i have to immediately deep condition my hair after for at least 10 min. sometimes I even have to put oil on my hair first or a pre-poo to protect it but it's hard to go down the no poo road idk if i would recommend that. i also like acv rinses bc it helps the ph of your hair and close the shafts. and green tea rinses or rice water rinses. but after deep conditioning I put oil on and finding the right amount to use here is very key bc u just took a shower and u don't want to slip and get it greasy looking again. so go easy start little by little and as it dries see if u need a little more. when it's almost dry i'll wrap all my hair around my head to make it a little straighter, more wavy for me bc my hair is 2c. and that's it. I need to sleep with protective styles more, get a microfiber towel and a better silk pillowcase though. my hair hasn't recovered from when i stopped oiling during quarantine bc i didn't have to see anyone i rly let myself go :/
also if anyone is looking for a rly good hair oil i suggest this one i found on etsy it's kind of pricey bc i like organic products. www.etsy.com/listing/241740703/organic-happy-hair-oil-raw-vegan-leave?ref=hp_rf-2&frs=1 and there's another one i haven't tried but want to with "vegetable silicone" they call it but it's just a blend of specific oils. www.etsy.com/listing/228637789/sleek-shine-anti-frizz-hair-oil-12-spf?ref=hp_rf-3
also forgot to mention that after washing and deep conditioning, I really try to get as much water out of my hair with a microfiber towel and then put oil on. basically water-based moisture is really not ideal for my hair. Mostly when people say their hair needs moisture what they really mean is conditioning. conditioning is what makes your hair look and feel soft and healthy. even though water has a balanced ph, it's still too high for hair. oil doesn't affect the ph of hair and it's what helps to condition it. my skin scalp and hair are all combination oily and dry. it's been really tricky to figure out how to balance it, especially my scalp bc i still haven't figured out dandruff (if anyone has any tips! besides the basic stuff i probably tried it all) i think oil is really key though in terms of oil balancing. sounds simple enough. having a hybrid hair type can be really fun and look beautiful once you get the hang of your routine I am learning to embrace it more. My hair can be straighter or curlier depending on how I do it, without using any heat ever. If I wear my hair wrapped around my head when it's a little damp while i sleep it's much straighter. when I wear it up in a bun to sleep it makes my 2c curls looser and look more wavy and also volumized! but the downside is if I wear it in a hairstyle it can keep that shape for a while and look weird lol. but overall it's great, we've just never learned to properly care for it bc of all the misleading information out there from the hair industry and people with different hair types than us. people need to start talking about hybrid hair more! idk if it's really the right term, or what is, but it's not the same as curly or straight hair care.
I use No 3 usually the day before a wash as almost a hair mask but just to help slick my hair back (ballet bun / pony / plait) as it’s great for creating these hair styles and getting all the baby hairs under control without using hairspray or gel etc x
I’ve been using Olaplex n 3 followed by Olaplex n 6 and I can tell you that of course you can’t see immediate results, but after one year using it...omg I can’t even explain Newborn hair!
I've been using olaplex for a while now and I definitely started see really great results after the 2nd or 3rd use so I'd recommend continuing to use it and see how you go
@@metoo7593 I initially used it twice a week for around 3 weeks then I went down to once a week for several months. Now my hair is pretty healthy I use it once a fortnight or when I remember
I feel like one of the other olaplaex products would likely have been more suited for you needs. I have sort of similar hair to you and number 6 made the most difference for me. Also to spite the small bottle it last so long. Though I 100% get that stuff is different for everyone and olaplaex is a bit expensive for something that might not work.
i don't have super damaged hair, mostly just frizzy - but olaplex works WONDERS on my hair. i know a lot of people saying it's only good for damaged hair, but i find it works really well for me with just generally frizzy hair!
Do you also use no 0 with no 3? I am asking because a lot of people have commented that they saw better results when they started using them together 💛
I have similar hair to you and I started to notice more of a difference using it regularly. Its also not a conditioner, your hair wont feel softer, it just helps keep it stronger :)
Olaplex definitely is good for your hair since you like heat styling it :) It'll help protect your hair and strengthen the bonds from the damage heat styling does.
If shine is what your looking for the gisou serum is bombb it doesn’t make your hair greasy and leaves it shiny after your blow dry also lasts a long time
My hair will also air dry really frizzy but then will calm down a few hours later! Like maybe some oil comes back or something? Mine also holds a curl really well so i will just keep twisting it until dry and it forms curls that look like they were done from a curling iron!
Same but I keep mine braided. Like if it airdries after I wash it, yeah it's frizzy. But give it a few hours and it's looking very nice. That's why I mostly wash it at night, so it takes its time being frizzy when I sleep and then be very nice the next day.
What you describe here means you girls have wavy hair. You can get beautifully defined waves with minimum frizz if you follow wavy girl method (not curly)
Oh my god finally yes! My hair texture is wavy and I struggle with frizz just like you and finding the right products so I religiously follow your hair routine so much
Girl i was born with silky soft hair, but for the past few years has been frizzy and dry my mom got me Tragacanth in the form of a gel and i swear it fixed it like magic ! please try it
When I was little, I had always had straight hair. When I had a dramatic cut, it turned curly. I would honestly recommend to cut it all off and start over again. Sorry, this may not be what you want. I also recommend not using as many products. The girls you see on social media with straighter hair either have genetically silky hair, or they straighten it.
I bleached my hair a few days ago and used olaplex Nr. 3 over last night, looks quite good so far and I haven’t noticed any damage from bleaching it yet... will continue with the treatment and hope for the best 🤞🏽
Well if u just brush and air dry your hair its gonna air dry frizzy because your hair doesn’t wanna be straight. That’s not the olaplex not doing its job its just the hair type so thats a little misinformative but otherwise your hair looks super healthy and I love your videos!
@@cutekitten4668 no you’re taking my words out of context she dried her hair wrong for her texture and olaplex isn’t gonna change that so im saying its unfair to judge a product on that specific front.
This isn't a deep conditioner , it's a bonding treatment.. I sleep with this in then shampoo twice and deep condition the I use the olaplex leave in and the oil... try the curlsmith purple line it's a bonding line
@@taylor11111 coming from someone with curly hair, this is not an obsession this is reality. maybe you don't put this much time & effort in ur hair but theres a bunch of curly & coily folks that do.
@@taylor11111 Honestly after so much experimenting I think it's either her diet or hard water that's causing frizz. Easier to check them out first as possible causes before spending lots of money, time and effort on various products.
You have to get the olaplex no 4,5,6 as well.. The shampoo (no.4) lasts forever and its a holy grail. You only need the tiniest amount and it goes a long way. The conditioner (no.5) runs out quicker, but the leave in treatment (no.6) also lasts very long and it's amazing.
Does it also have bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate? if not it's just an expensive conditioner, not a bond restructuring product. A good conditioner I'm sure as he's a trichologist but a conditioner nonetheless.
@@milly6858 Fair enough. You know 3 is designed to be used with 0? 3 alone won't do much as it's 0 that has the most active ingredient (outside of number 1 salon product). I used 3 first and it did nothing but then with 0 was the game changer. :)
Thank you thank you and a thousand thanks to you because you are super honest and explains everything very well without adding out of topic talking and talking and more annoying blah blah. You are great! You are also not imitating the kardashian accent but being genuine and that’s what makes you better than the rest.
Thanks Isabella! I have exactly the same hair as you (sadly not the same colour though!) and have been trying all sorts of things including the Curly Girl Method. I’ve seen Olaplex mentioned over and over in the Long Hair Community Facebook group so I’ve been thinking of giving it a try. I’m not sure I will now, although a friend swears by No. 6!
I use all olaplex line 0-7 , olaplex 0 and 3 once a week , 4 and 5 two or three times a week , number 6 and 7 daily and number 1-2 once a month and my hair is in amazing condition. I think you need to use full range to get a maximum results.
Hey :) i noticed when you were washing your hair you used shampoo on the whole hair im not sure if you did that only because of product build up or if you do this continuously but i would highly highly highly suggest only placing shampoo on the roots of your hair and conditioner on only the ends when you wash it this could help! I stopped putting shampoo in my ends YEARS ago and it made an extremely big difference in moisture
I have been using Olaplex 3 for a year, the thing is that my hair feels soft and amazing the very first day that I wash my hair, but the next days my hair is still a mess all over again, in my case it didn't repair my damaged bleached hair at all
My hair dries exactly the same as yours I use L’Oréal elvive no haircut cream on my hair after I wash (with shampoo and conditions ) when it’s still wet and then brush through maybe that could help it makes a lot of a difference to mine
It is super amazing to see someone with the exact same hair as me! (LOVE your hair btw!) ive learned that I love the volume my hair gives me and I’ve had fun experimenting with products that work for me too 😌
I think if your hair is kind of like how mine used to be - in that its not necessarily wavy, but gets kind of dry/frizzy looking. One thing that I found helped me is switching to shampoo bars, and doing a conditioner only wash once a week (and making sure I really saturated the lengths of my hair, and gave it time to soak in).
You should try the overnight method I would get in the shower just wet my hair and put the olaplex overnight and then wash it in the morning. I wouldn’t say you need to wash it before but I never tried it that way. Also try it maybe once a week for a couple of months and see how you like it honestly the best thing ever created!
ISABELLA I FOUND SOMETHING!!!!! So, from the looks of your haircut, you have a blunt cut that goes straight across. Believe it or not, the way you get your haircut can lead to more frizz. A layered v shaped haircut (with a face frame) might be better for your hair type. Anyone who knows more about haircuts for hair types PLEASE COMMENT!
I wash my my hair with a biotin and collagen hair shampoo twice before conditioning it with a keratin hair conditioner, and I let it air dry, meanwhile, I brush my hair with a wide tooth comb to make it not tangley, once it dries, I tie it up into a low ponytail, then put a cap on it and leave it either overnight or leave it on for a few hours to tame it. I hope this helps. 🙂
Heyyy Isabella! Your hair Is looking so long and healthy! Olaplex might hace not worked wonders on your hair, but the fact that you switched your mentality from "why ir dries this wayy!!!" To "this Is just the way it Is" Is very healthy for your mental health. I have the same problem and just accepting that this Is the way my hair naturally Is has saved me so many frustrations and bad momentos. BTW your hair blowed dry looks fricking AMAZING, can you do a tutorial on it?? My hair Is also wavy and i would love to make it look straight every now and then to switch it up a bit without the damage from my flat iron. Thank you and keep it up! Love the content
Best results will be achieved as you continue to use it since the results are cumulative. Also, you will see the biggest difference if your hair was previously damaged from heat styling or colouring, not if you have healthy hair. Give it a chance, Olaplex is REVOLUTIONARY!!! Top-notch product for damaged and fragile hair!
Olaplex 3 Is a leave in,I thought . I put it in when my hair's wet ,brush through and blow dry it and I like it ! I then put a dab in my hands and rub them together and put it threw my dry hair and it takes the frizz away ,so I'm all for it,on my hair , anyways!
my experience with olaplex is that it works best when you use it consistently. I use it every other week. As it is a protein hair mask, you need to identify if you even need added protein to your hair, if you don't I don't think it'll give much of a result. But yeah, maybe try to use it a few more times.
it's not meant to be cosmetic, it's for health and strength of the hair, not the shiny or silky. It should be used if you have heat damage or constantly use heat, chemical, coloring or constant brushing/ tight hair do's so on. Just on it's own is not really going to make your hair look nice it needs to be styled but it helps your hair by preventing damage until you do another treatment in a few weeks/ a monthish
Hi Isabella, I understand your hair journey and partly experiencing it on my own.. you can try with Garnier food masks (aloe vera is hidratating) and schwarzkopf bc keratin smooth.. those two helped me very much and the prices are very good because they last very long..
It’s very expensive but I would try the Bb. Air dry products. They work great for my Mum (her hair is similar to yours, maybe a bit shorter) might work for you!
hey im a uk based hairstylist please try the olaplex no6 it is a bond smoother it is amazing for frizzy hair and leaves the hair looking so shiney and healthy i use the whole olaplex range and it is honestly a game changer try using the number 0,3,4,5,6 and 7 for maximum results no 0 is the intese treatment 3 is the treatment you used which can be put over the no 0 for a more intense treatment 4 is a shampoo 5 is a conditioner 6 is the bond smoother and 7 is the oil it is an investment but keep using it and you wont look back xx
I got mine awhile ago. The seller said that no. 3 is a pre treatment hair, so you should only damp your hair then apply it. After an hour you rinse and shampoo ur hair.
When you are shampoo-ing, it's nothing different, BUT when dry, it's gonna be a lot more softer, less frizzy. I hope you find my comment down here, because it works nicely that way on my hair 🥺
@@IsabellaDemarko im sorry if i got this wrong but in the video you shampoo first, while the seller in my area said you should shampoo AFTER the treatment. But maybe it will work after 2 or 3 times. Some also said they leave it for a night. I hope olaplex works better on you! ❤️
@@IsabellaDemarko A treatment where you don't shampoo your hair first as you did. 0 is the primer and supposed to be used first because it has the active compound bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, then you put 3 on top to keep hair wet and intensify 0. And one time use does nothing, you need to use both consistently several times a week to see results.
I did not like it but my daughter loves it. She uses it before shampoo and deep conditioner. I prefer Shea moisture coconut rehydration mask mixed with green beauty real protein treatment. My hair loves this. If it feels too strong afterwards then l use the mask alone to moisturize. The shampoo is also amazing. I also use a little of the melanin leave in conditioner to soften and control frizz. Sometimes I use it as a rinse out conditioner. Hope this helps.
i love your channel dear isabella cuz you show us the truth about every thing of hair world your hair is excellent take care of it and don't cut it any more pls..love you so much💗💗💗💗💖💖😻😻

I need to sleep with protective styles more, get a microfiber towel and a better silk pillowcase though. my hair hasn't recovered from when i stopped oiling during quarantine bc i didn't have to see anyone i rly let myself go :/
also if anyone is looking for a rly good hair oil i suggest this one i found on etsy it's kind of pricey bc i like organic products. www.etsy.com/listing/241740703/organic-happy-hair-oil-raw-vegan-leave?ref=hp_rf-2&frs=1
and there's another one i haven't tried but want to with "vegetable silicone" they call it but it's just a blend of specific oils.
www.etsy.com/listing/228637789/sleek-shine-anti-frizz-hair-oil-12-spf?ref=hp_rf-3
also forgot to mention that after washing and deep conditioning, I really try to get as much water out of my hair with a microfiber towel and then put oil on. basically water-based moisture is really not ideal for my hair. Mostly when people say their hair needs moisture what they really mean is conditioning. conditioning is what makes your hair look and feel soft and healthy. even though water has a balanced ph, it's still too high for hair. oil doesn't affect the ph of hair and it's what helps to condition it. my skin scalp and hair are all combination oily and dry. it's been really tricky to figure out how to balance it, especially my scalp bc i still haven't figured out dandruff (if anyone has any tips! besides the basic stuff i probably tried it all) i think oil is really key though in terms of oil balancing. sounds simple enough. having a hybrid hair type can be really fun and look beautiful once you get the hang of your routine I am learning to embrace it more. My hair can be straighter or curlier depending on how I do it, without using any heat ever. If I wear my hair wrapped around my head when it's a little damp while i sleep it's much straighter. when I wear it up in a bun to sleep it makes my 2c curls looser and look more wavy and also volumized! but the downside is if I wear it in a hairstyle it can keep that shape for a while and look weird lol. but overall it's great, we've just never learned to properly care for it bc of all the misleading information out there from the hair industry and people with different hair types than us. people need to start talking about hybrid hair more! idk if it's really the right term, or what is, but it's not the same as curly or straight hair care.
Youre one of the few youtubers i still watch cause your videos are always so good!!
I use No 3 usually the day before a wash as almost a hair mask but just to help slick my hair back (ballet bun / pony / plait) as it’s great for creating these hair styles and getting all the baby hairs under control without using hairspray or gel etc x
I’ve been using Olaplex n 3 followed by Olaplex n 6 and I can tell you that of course you can’t see immediate results, but after one year using it...omg I can’t even explain
Newborn hair!
I've been using olaplex for a while now and I definitely started see really great results after the 2nd or 3rd use so I'd recommend continuing to use it and see how you go
Did u use it right away or slowly started using it?
@@metoo7593 I initially used it twice a week for around 3 weeks then I went down to once a week for several months. Now my hair is pretty healthy I use it once a fortnight or when I remember
Wow it’s insane how much ur hair has improved over this last year ❤️you look stunning 🤩!!!
Olaplex works really good for me. My hair is more bouncy and heavy. I love it!
i'd love to see you trying olaplex with curly hair routine
I feel like one of the other olaplaex products would likely have been more suited for you needs. I have sort of similar hair to you and number 6 made the most difference for me. Also to spite the small bottle it last so long. Though I 100% get that stuff is different for everyone and olaplaex is a bit expensive for something that might not work.
i don't have super damaged hair, mostly just frizzy - but olaplex works WONDERS on my hair. i know a lot of people saying it's only good for damaged hair, but i find it works really well for me with just generally frizzy hair!
Do you also use no 0 with no 3? I am asking because a lot of people have commented that they saw better results when they started using them together 💛
@@constantinadeli6318 i don't, actually! i only use no 3 :)
I have similar hair to you and I started to notice more of a difference using it regularly. Its also not a conditioner, your hair wont feel softer, it just helps keep it stronger :)
Olaplex definitely is good for your hair since you like heat styling it :) It'll help protect your hair and strengthen the bonds from the damage heat styling does.
If shine is what your looking for the gisou serum is bombb it doesn’t make your hair greasy and leaves it shiny after your blow dry also lasts a long time
I don't wash it out, just rinse and then condition and I love it! I have very wavy, damaged hair and the olaplex works great for me.
My hair will also air dry really frizzy but then will calm down a few hours later! Like maybe some oil comes back or something? Mine also holds a curl really well so i will just keep twisting it until dry and it forms curls that look like they were done from a curling iron!
You should try scrunching in a light gel when it’s wet your hair might respond really well to it! 💖💖💖
Same but I keep mine braided. Like if it airdries after I wash it, yeah it's frizzy. But give it a few hours and it's looking very nice. That's why I mostly wash it at night, so it takes its time being frizzy when I sleep and then be very nice the next day.
What you describe here means you girls have wavy hair. You can get beautifully defined waves with minimum frizz if you follow wavy girl method (not curly)
@@SwavyBlonde yeah i agree they’d love a light cream and gel i think
She is so naturally pretty 😍 her skin is perfect
I love how you experience and kind of studying everything about hair and your so honest and clear about it .... thanks ! My favorite TH-camr 💕
Oh my god finally yes! My hair texture is wavy and I struggle with frizz just like you and finding the right products so I religiously follow your hair routine so much
Girl i was born with silky soft hair, but for the past few years has been frizzy and dry
my mom got me Tragacanth in the form of a gel and i swear it fixed it like magic ! please try it
crush it in dry form and mix it with water it becomes like a gel. leave for an hour or so
When I was little, I had always had straight hair. When I had a dramatic cut, it turned curly. I would honestly recommend to cut it all off and start over again. Sorry, this may not be what you want. I also recommend not using as many products. The girls you see on social media with straighter hair either have genetically silky hair, or they straighten it.
@@jessica.grace.murphy i see; i didn't get into this channel much, but that was just my experience. :)
@@jessica.grace.murphy isn't her natural hair just curly , resulting in the frizz?
Use coconut oil except of jell
I bleached my hair a few days ago and used olaplex Nr. 3 over last night, looks quite good so far and I haven’t noticed any damage from bleaching it yet... will continue with the treatment and hope for the best 🤞🏽
Well if u just brush and air dry your hair its gonna air dry frizzy because your hair doesn’t wanna be straight. That’s not the olaplex not doing its job its just the hair type so thats a little misinformative but otherwise your hair looks super healthy and I love your videos!
I don’t think you understood that part was just an experiment.
@@IsabellaDemarko but its unfair to criticise a product when the experiment is unrelated to the use of the product no need to be condescending
@@Sophassofa Does it say anywhere that you can't brush your hair when using olaplex?
@@cutekitten4668 no you’re taking my words out of context she dried her hair wrong for her texture and olaplex isn’t gonna change that so im saying its unfair to judge a product on that specific front.
@@Sophassofa So you think she'd have better results if she used her wavy hair routine
I leave it in overnight and it works well that way
I love you . U are such an inspiration!! Taking care of yourself is so important!!🥰
Use rice water dear look up tutorials online it will help ur hair
I would love to see you try a protein treatment! I've wanting to try one myself but I would love to see your results!!
This isn't a deep conditioner , it's a bonding treatment.. I sleep with this in then shampoo twice and deep condition the I use the olaplex leave in and the oil... try the curlsmith purple line it's a bonding line
I absolutely love this review and the way you blow dried your hair! Would love to see a blow drying tutorial 💗
I also suggest leaving it on overnight, and instead of shampooing it away in the morning, try just rinsing and following up with conditioner.
Its good for damaged hair I've used it
i love the fact tht uh dont give up on ur hair ❤️
I think it’s a unearthly obsession tbh
@@taylor11111 coming from someone with curly hair, this is not an obsession this is reality. maybe you don't put this much time & effort in ur hair but theres a bunch of curly & coily folks that do.
@@ineffableleanne7090 my hair is curly and I do take care of it, it just isn’t life consuming for me.
@@taylor11111 Honestly after so much experimenting I think it's either her diet or hard water that's causing frizz. Easier to check them out first as possible causes before spending lots of money, time and effort on various products.
@@greenknitter She has checked both but they didn't have an impact on her hair
Your hair has grown so much!!! It looks so good!!!
You have to get the olaplex no 4,5,6 as well.. The shampoo (no.4) lasts forever and its a holy grail. You only need the tiniest amount and it goes a long way. The conditioner (no.5) runs out quicker, but the leave in treatment (no.6) also lasts very long and it's amazing.
Would love it if you could review the 1 and 2. It’s the salon version which is less diluted.
I much prefer the Philip Kinsley Elasticiser! It is supposed to be bond-building as well but it's much more conditioning at the same time x
Does it also have bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate? if not it's just an expensive conditioner, not a bond restructuring product. A good conditioner I'm sure as he's a trichologist but a conditioner nonetheless.
@@greenknitter Yeah I know but I was the same and found that olaplex did nothing for my hair so I just prefer the philip kingsley one! x
@@milly6858 Fair enough. You know 3 is designed to be used with 0? 3 alone won't do much as it's 0 that has the most active ingredient (outside of number 1 salon product). I used 3 first and it did nothing but then with 0 was the game changer. :)
Thank you thank you and a thousand thanks to you because you are super honest and explains everything very well without adding out of topic talking and talking and more annoying blah blah. You are great! You are also not imitating the kardashian accent but being genuine and that’s what makes you better than the rest.
try using a protein conditioner followed by an emollient conditioner
I would recommend using olaplex 0 and then 3! Use this a few times! Changes take time’ love you 💞
Your hair has grown so much x
Thanks Isabella! I have exactly the same hair as you (sadly not the same colour though!) and have been trying all sorts of things including the Curly Girl Method. I’ve seen Olaplex mentioned over and over in the Long Hair Community Facebook group so I’ve been thinking of giving it a try. I’m not sure I will now, although a friend swears by No. 6!
You should use the 0 en 3 in combination And use olaplex shampoo, conditioner And styling. Then You will get results
I use all olaplex line 0-7 , olaplex 0 and 3 once a week , 4 and 5 two or three times a week , number 6 and 7 daily and number 1-2 once a month and my hair is in amazing condition. I think you need to use full range to get a maximum results.
your hair has grown SO much!
thank you for beeing honest & authentic all the time :)
Hey :) i noticed when you were washing your hair you used shampoo on the whole hair im not sure if you did that only because of product build up or if you do this continuously but i would highly highly highly suggest only placing shampoo on the roots of your hair and conditioner on only the ends when you wash it this could help! I stopped putting shampoo in my ends YEARS ago and it made an extremely big difference in moisture
Try to braid your hair to dry other than having it down it will help
I have been using Olaplex 3 for a year, the thing is that my hair feels soft and amazing the very first day that I wash my hair, but the next days my hair is still a mess all over again, in my case it didn't repair my damaged bleached hair at all
3 is for use together with 0. 3 alone will not do much for damaged hair.
Same honestly...I didn’t see a great result in the long run
Olapex is best used 2 times a week basically until your hair repairs ! It SAVED my bleached hair but i was strict with it !
My hair dries exactly the same as yours I use L’Oréal elvive no haircut cream on my hair after I wash (with shampoo and conditions ) when it’s still wet and then brush through maybe that could help it makes a lot of a difference to mine
Maybe you should try a protein treatment? I have tried it and it really helped with my fragile frizzy hair... Moisture overload I guess
It is super amazing to see someone with the exact same hair as me! (LOVE your hair btw!) ive learned that I love the volume my hair gives me and I’ve had fun experimenting with products that work for me too 😌
I think if your hair is kind of like how mine used to be - in that its not necessarily wavy, but gets kind of dry/frizzy looking. One thing that I found helped me is switching to shampoo bars, and doing a conditioner only wash once a week (and making sure I really saturated the lengths of my hair, and gave it time to soak in).
You should try the overnight method I would get in the shower just wet my hair and put the olaplex overnight and then wash it in the morning. I wouldn’t say you need to wash it before but I never tried it that way. Also try it maybe once a week for a couple of months and see how you like it honestly the best thing ever created!
Really excited for this💞 I've been wondering if it's worth the money 💵
ISABELLA I FOUND SOMETHING!!!!! So, from the looks of your haircut, you have a blunt cut that goes straight across. Believe it or not, the way you get your haircut can lead to more frizz. A layered v shaped haircut (with a face frame) might be better for your hair type. Anyone who knows more about haircuts for hair types PLEASE COMMENT!
I have a layered v shaped haircut and my hair is as frizzy as hers
When ever you take a shower you have to use cold water for your hair and its better for your body cuz it makes you happier
I wash my my hair with a biotin and collagen hair shampoo twice before conditioning it with a keratin hair conditioner, and I let it air dry, meanwhile, I brush my hair with a wide tooth comb to make it not tangley, once it dries, I tie it up into a low ponytail, then put a cap on it and leave it either overnight or leave it on for a few hours to tame it. I hope this helps. 🙂
Heyyy Isabella! Your hair Is looking so long and healthy! Olaplex might hace not worked wonders on your hair, but the fact that you switched your mentality from "why ir dries this wayy!!!" To "this Is just the way it Is" Is very healthy for your mental health. I have the same problem and just accepting that this Is the way my hair naturally Is has saved me so many frustrations and bad momentos. BTW your hair blowed dry looks fricking AMAZING, can you do a tutorial on it?? My hair Is also wavy and i would love to make it look straight every now and then to switch it up a bit without the damage from my flat iron. Thank you and keep it up! Love the content
My hair was just like that but then I started using a fructis smoothing serum and now my hair dries really nice.
Best results will be achieved as you continue to use it since the results are cumulative. Also, you will see the biggest difference if your hair was previously damaged from heat styling or colouring, not if you have healthy hair.
Give it a chance, Olaplex is REVOLUTIONARY!!! Top-notch product for damaged and fragile hair!
I always use heat while it’s in my hair and that’s been my game changer !!!!! Love Olaplex !!!!
Olaplex 3 Is a leave in,I thought .
I put it in when my hair's wet ,brush through and blow dry it and I like it ! I then put a dab in my hands and rub them together and put it threw my dry hair and it takes the frizz away ,so I'm all for it,on my hair , anyways!
my experience with olaplex is that it works best when you use it consistently. I use it every other week. As it is a protein hair mask, you need to identify if you even need added protein to your hair, if you don't I don't think it'll give much of a result. But yeah, maybe try to use it a few more times.
it's not meant to be cosmetic, it's for health and strength of the hair, not the shiny or silky. It should be used if you have heat damage or constantly use heat, chemical, coloring or constant brushing/ tight hair do's so on. Just on it's own is not really going to make your hair look nice it needs to be styled but it helps your hair by preventing damage until you do another treatment in a few weeks/ a monthish
your hair is looking so beautiful in the begining of the video!!
A good thing to try is putting a shower cap over your hair while you're leaving the mask in, the heat helps it penetrate
Please try Aruveda products/powders like alma, fenugreek & henna powders.
It would be really helpful if you shared your experiences again when you use Olaplex No. 0 and 3 together
A tip for your hair is to wash it just with cold water and when you put the shampoo It should only be in the scalp and not the ends
Please try flaxseed gel.. im so curious
She already did
Do you use a hair mist with SPF when you go out? It might help protect your hair from sun damage.
You should see Sarah ingle dry hair video it my help with some of your problems ps love your videos
Hi Isabella, I understand your hair journey and partly experiencing it on my own.. you can try with Garnier food masks (aloe vera is hidratating) and schwarzkopf bc keratin smooth.. those two helped me very much and the prices are very good because they last very long..
Isabella you love experimenting things for your hair,have you ever heard about ARNICA HAIR OIL?
It helps with hair texture and hair loss.
You must try trichup hair products !!
They work amazingly for growth and hydration
It’s very expensive but I would try the Bb. Air dry products. They work great for my Mum (her hair is similar to yours, maybe a bit shorter) might work for you!
hey im a uk based hairstylist please try the olaplex no6 it is a bond smoother it is amazing for frizzy hair and leaves the hair looking so shiney and healthy i use the whole olaplex range and it is honestly a game changer try using the number 0,3,4,5,6 and 7 for maximum results no 0 is the intese treatment 3 is the treatment you used which can be put over the no 0 for a more intense treatment 4 is a shampoo 5 is a conditioner 6 is the bond smoother and 7 is the oil it is an investment but keep using it and you wont look back xx
I got mine awhile ago. The seller said that no. 3 is a pre treatment hair, so you should only damp your hair then apply it. After an hour you rinse and shampoo ur hair.
When you are shampoo-ing, it's nothing different, BUT when dry, it's gonna be a lot more softer, less frizzy. I hope you find my comment down here, because it works nicely that way on my hair 🥺
That’s basically what I did. It’s a treatment
That’s basically what I did. It’s a treatment
@@IsabellaDemarko im sorry if i got this wrong but in the video you shampoo first, while the seller in my area said you should shampoo AFTER the treatment. But maybe it will work after 2 or 3 times. Some also said they leave it for a night. I hope olaplex works better on you! ❤️
@@IsabellaDemarko A treatment where you don't shampoo your hair first as you did. 0 is the primer and supposed to be used first because it has the active compound bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, then you put 3 on top to keep hair wet and intensify 0. And one time use does nothing, you need to use both consistently several times a week to see results.
I did not like it but my daughter loves it. She uses it before shampoo and deep conditioner. I prefer Shea moisture coconut rehydration mask mixed with green beauty real protein treatment. My hair loves this. If it feels too strong afterwards then l use the mask alone to moisturize. The shampoo is also amazing. I also use a little of the melanin leave in conditioner to soften and control frizz. Sometimes I use it as a rinse out conditioner. Hope this helps.
i love your channel dear isabella cuz you show us the truth about every thing of hair world your hair is excellent take care of it and don't cut it any more pls..love you so much💗💗💗💗💖💖😻😻
