After my cancer treatment with chemo, I had a lot of hair fallen out and the hair that I still got was very fine and my curls were not curled together but all separated, so very plushie looking. Now , after 3 months using olaplex 3 to 6, my curls are all beautiful bonded again, they shine and my hair grows like a baby. So happy with this products!
Me too! I had rad treatment but I lost hair after the surgery; then after radiation from being so anemic and malnourished. I use the 0, 3, 6 and despite platinum highlights have the best hair of my adult life. Hope you're doing well. FuckCancer.
Fun fact: Number 0 and number 3 are just diluted versions of number 1 and number 2 that stylists use in salons. Number 0/1 is what actually rebuilds the bonds in your hair and number 2/3 is what sets that process with a little additional bond building. That’s why your stylist gives you number 3 to take home (because it’s a diluted version of step 2). She puts step 1 in your color or bleach (or can be used as a stand-alone treatment with water) and then layers step 2 over it. As the effects of step 2 begin to break down during the weeks between your salon visits, the step 3 home treatment is like a bandaid that helps keep it going until the next time you go to the salon. Tip for applying number 0- close your bathroom sink drain, cover your bathroom sink with a layer of plastic/Saran wrap and then flip your head/hair over into the sink and apply it that way. Any bit that isn’t absorbed by your hair fast enough will be caught by the plastic/Saran wrap and you can kinda mush your hair into it after to make sure you don’t waste a drop
When ever I went to the salon to have my hair colored they never gave me any olaplex products to take home not all salons give you olaplex for home use. I went to ULTA to get my hair colored
This was VERY helpful! Thank you so much! I bought #1, 2 and 3 I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY Olaplex is so secretive about how to use their products. I don't think they provide enough information about their products and those infos should be on their bottles.
I could not agree more!!! They just went public, stock market AND the lack of user information is the only reason I don't want to invest with them. Blech....need new marketing folks!
I use #3 during my workouts 1-2 days a week. Weird hack but I swear by it! I use a spray bottle to dampen my hair, apply #3, toss in a ballerina bun, head to the gym and I’m masking while I’m training! Kinda gross, but I think my sweat + body heat during training keeps my hair damp much longer and I find this time window works well for me. I wash out while showering post workout. Yep I’m in public with a hair mask on, nope I don’t care what my hair looks like while I’m hip thrusting. Booty and hair gains at the same time?! Yes ma’am!!
You can wrap your hair in a few “buns”- then just squirt the #0 into the bun of hair and squeeze the bun to saturate the hair. Then let the bun down and comb through it / continue to bun up segments until your hair is saturated. This makes it very easy to apply to your hair and no waste.
brushing your hair while wet/damp will actually cause more breakage. you can't "hack" hair. either do it properly, with care or don't do it at all. don't blame the company later when your hair looks the same if not worse...
I just appreciate that you admit you only wash once a week and have been using it for a year instead of a very platinum blonde saying she used it once and it changed her life.
Good hair is an investment and anyone that says a product does the job in the first go is lying😂 you gotta invest and continuously use (at your own rate) xx
My hair is about the same length and trying 0 and 3 for the first time. I can't wait to see the results. I also only wash mine about once a week unless it gets incredibly dirty when working.
As a cosmetologist I really appreciate the effort that went into making this video accurate. Thank you for taking the time to correctly info people. Great video
Hey! I have been using only n°3 and it has saved my hair so much ❤️ I now use it this way: instead of leaving it on over night and let the product dry and therefore loses its efficiency, I apply it in the morning, on a day I know I'll stay at home for few hours, and cover my wet hair saturated of olaplex with a shower cap to keep the moisture as long as possible and allow the product to keep working for a longer period on my hair. I have seen a massive difference since I started using this method. I hope this was useful 😃
i've read it's pretty unnecessary to leave it on longer than the suggested time of 10 minutes or so. There's only so much absorption your hair can do - and then it's just hanging out, lol.
Me too with furry cap 45 plus minutes. Finally got the shampoo and oil. Because after a few months my frazzeled thin bang stuff quit breaking off and i have hope!
i right now am using multiple shower caps, and a microfiber towel to insulate (keep the heat). i have no 0 and 3 in rn, and its my first time trying it
I only really use number 3. But I had serious, serious damage as a result of a salon mistake around a year ago. I always shampoo first, then apply number 3, put a shower cap over it for a couple of hours and then wash out and condition. It only took one bottle to see amazing results, breakage stopped and shine came back. I'm not crazy about the other products, but I really can't rave about number 3 enough.
My stylist told me I can use no 3 like I would with a leave in conditioner and it has helped my hair so much. I had a super dead section of hair that framed my face and it's so healthy now using no 3 with the leave-in method. I just put it on my ends/damaged pieces after I shower!
Wow this really opened up my eyes to the importance of using hair products properly for the maximum benefit. Usually I just apply products as I wish without even considering it’s intended use . Thank you so much for this video !
Since it only works while the hair’s wet, I’ve seen someone recommend to just spray down your hair as it dries throughout a day when you’re not doing much/at home, and I’ve found that way more helpful than leaving overnight.
No you don’t wash it the next day. As long as you don’t saturate your hair. Just apply it as if you were going to style it. But also mix the 7 oil with it for best results
@C. Hellard because if it’s overnight it just nourishes your hair without styling it or the elements of the outside. Kinda like using face products overnight so that they soak in and are more effective
Since no 3 only works while hair is wet, I load my hair with no 0, then add no 3 after a half hour, then I put my hair up in a shower cap or wrap it with cling wrap and put a beanie over it. I sleep with it wrapped up. The 0/3 combo works most effectively on my hair that way.
Currently sitting with No.3is my hair for the first time, before trying No.8, 6 and 7. Very informative and helpful video. You’ve covered all questions that I had about the products. Hoping for good results 😊
So, my hair stylist uses Olaplex on my hair and I have been using it for so long. She actually recommended this and this is what I do now, is use no. 3 as a leave in conditioner after I shower. Promise it is a game changer. Hair is clean, open for saturation and does not leave my hair weighed down/greasy. Would def recommend :)
@@vidhijain3150 leave in means you don't wash it anymore...as she said in the video of number 6 and no 7 oil...you just use them and leave it like that. Not sure how it works with nr3 as should be use on wet hair before you use no4 and then no 5
I would not do this. Companies have instructions for a reason. You'll be the one suing Olaplex for hairloss in a year because you and your stylist didn't follow directions.
In the salon when we offer the #3 treatment as an add on we use a shower cap! Helps to hold in the moisture.. like you said this product works best when the hair is wet so the shower cap helps to hold all that moisture in!
I’ve never tried Olaplex but with my keratin treatment being over due, I’ve been using more heat tools lately and I noticed that my fine, thin hair is a little more sad and brittle. A friend, whose a hairstylist mentioned the brand so after a quick review, I bought the No.3. Like others, I found the ‘how to use’ part a little vague so I was looking for more information on how to use it. Your video was perfect, thank you!
I just started using Olaplex about a month ago, I have very thick, super curly, red hair...and frizz is my mortal enemy, as is dry hair...and OMFG the huge difference it has made!!! My hair is super strong, looks great, and feels amazing. I highly recommend it.
@@mayapintoiazzouguen4818 I use 3, 4, 5, and 6. I only use #3 once a week. Numbers 4, 5, and 6 just about every other day, sometimes less. It's been huge. I was ready to cut off my entire hair...just shave it off and start new...but now I don't have to. It's doing well.
The way I use No3 is: wash my hair with shampoo - put No3 in wet hair - put wash cap and towel over it and hold it like that for 60min/90min - rinse No3 - wash hair with shampoo - put conditioner - styling products.
A big thank you for your research on these products! I've been using the whole line for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it. Trying to really work on hair care so my hair can be thick, healthy and strong. Your videos have been so informative and a great help 🥰
I use the number 3 and then put a bag on my head for a few hours. That way it doesn't dry right away. I put it on while I'm doing my skincare routine and then leave it on while I'm relaxing in bed or around the house. Then I just remove the bag when I go to sleep, and leave it on overnight. That makes a huge difference!
This was really helpful! I had only used no.3 up until now, just took the plunge and brought the complete set. I was nervous and didn’t want to waste the products by not using them properly. I had looked on olaplexs website but this was way more comprehensive and it was nice you went through them in sequence. Thank you!!!
Thank you! I currently use No. 6 and 7. I use 6 right after I wash my hair whether I straighten it or not. Although it s not for repairing the hair, I have noticed a huge difference since I started using it. When I do straighten my hair I apply this first, a little less than pea size, let it sit. I follow it with the Moroccan oil smooth lotion for Blow-dry, about the same amount. By this point my hair smells Amazing! And then I follow it with this like very generic heat protectant spray my salon lady uses ( I will admit once this finishes I plan to buy a professional one) I like to do about 3 sprays ON MY HANDS, i don’t like to spray directly on my hair, and honestly, my blow dry last Long time and I get nice shine. Once I am done blow drying it ( I use Lange blow dry brush) I do apply No 7 to my ends and reapply it my third day. I am currently pregnant and get really hot, and sweaty, so I expect this styling to last me a little longer once I give birth. I have natural curly hair, my hair is up to my trapezoids and it’s color treated. Honestly this routine has been the best one I found. I have learned recently Moroccan Oil products are best for Coarse hair, but I’d you have thin to medium hair just use VERY LITTLE, or don’t use it at all. I hope this helps someone :)
Hi...my daughter got me the entire collection and thank God I found you, because it's a lot to take in. Just followed this video to start using No. 0 and No. 3. Thank you!
I believe that inhalation might be the issue with putting No.0 in a spray bottle. I recently watched some girl here on youtube spraying the No.0 on her hair and she was almost choking. So that might be the reason why they don't recommend it :)
I just love using no.3 as part of a pamper routine, I wash my hair with a purple shampoo & conditioner to tone, then apply no.3 all over and put up in a scrunchie, fake tan and off to sleep to wake up like a goddess!
Same ! Im using it right now on my me day.. i washed it and tone my hair already too so its super clean i have olaplex on it now .. do i need to shampoo again?
Recently found your channel. I am a 57 year old post menopausal woman with hair and skin concerns and you have been helpful. Can I just say that when you are in your shower or otherwise with no makeup, you look like a 14 year old! So when you are 80, you will look 50. And now Olaplex puts the number 0 in a spray bottle. Thanks for all of your hard work with all of your videos!
Perfect timing! Just decided I need to get on a serious Olaplex regimen instead of just using no. 3 every couple months. Oily scalp/color treated dry ends-the struggle is real!
@@iwillstom I see. I tried olaplex no 3 yesterday and it did wonders to my hair. It doesn’t really “moisturize”, it repairs. It gives certain strength and elasticity to the hair. I’ve tried many moisturizing treatments and the effect goes away after a few washes. I guess this is actually repairing the hair. Ive read it takes 4-5 treatments to see noticeable results so I’m looking forward to it. It already feels great after one treatment!
Little suggestion: If you want use olaplex N0 Wash your hair with head down, this won't only give you more volume, but after the shampoo I take N0 and I put it on my dumped hair always with head down. This method help me a lot to don't lose product and the water that it's already on the hair help to spread better the product on all the shaft. Furthermore I squeeze a little the hair in a but to make sure that all product it's spread evenly on the hair. I put it in a bun with plastic wrap and I went for the heating cuff ( I purchased it on Amazon, it's amazing for hair treatments). After 15 minutes I apply in the same way the number 3 : bun, plastic wrap and heating cuff but for 30 minutes to 1 hour if I have a lot of time. This will let the treatment go deeper inside the hair shaft, and it's like 3 hours of treatment on. After that, I apply shea moisture mask and I go for another heating cuff for at least 30 minutes. My hair at the end are Amazing, and this is my key to let them growing sooo long and strong, with a lot of volume and no split or dry ends. Obviously do a trim every 6 months. (Girls, I know it's a lot of time but it's my "hair day treatment" and I take all the time to take care of myself and my hair✨let's share some love to our hair together🤍✨)
This is the comment i was looking for!! 👀🔥🔥 so true!!!! This now opens a new set of questions: did they change the formula for it to be airborne (probably not); were they being untruthful answering her question (who knows 🤷🏻♀️), will they keep using the old AND new packaging so that we have more choices of which one we prefer more… we will see.
But have you used the new spray bottle? It sprays in a stream, not a nice dispersing spray like a typical spray bottle. It's almost harder to apply. It comes out faster and that's about it.
Oh em geee! Thank you for this video! I have type 4 kinky- curly, high porosity, FINE hair, low to medium density. I loooove Olaplex, but have had these EXACT questions. Really appreciate the effort you put into getting these answers. 🙋🏾♀️ 😩🥰
I put number 0 in a spray bottle and wear a face mask while spraying my hair.. That way I have more control of how much product I use.. So far it works for me.. Just got number 8 can’t wait to use it..
I leave No 1 for an hour, and number 3 for like 2 hours while I play video games. Olaplex really worked well in improving the condition of my bleached damaged hair
@@mercedesobrien7661 It really helped a lot. It doesn't get your hair back to pre-bleach condition, but it did repair it by at least 50% and made my hair more manageable.
@@annie-eq2ye my hair was gummy after a perm and I used Aphogee 2 steps process and it worked wonders. I also have all of the olaplex and other products, but I will say the Aphogee 2 step application helped my hair from having to cut my hair off. I got my perm on St Patty's day and after doing much research about hair care my hair feels and looks soooo much better!!!! I also follow Mel a you tuber for curly hair and what to do with damage. She is awesome!!
This is SO helpful! One of the top 2 best reviews I've seen yet on TH-cam. Thank you so much for making this and explaining each product so well, as well as checking with Olaplex to debunk anything that isn't necessary/true! Definitely going to try more products now!
I had to come back to thank you... Saw this video, it helped answer a lot of questions I had about olaplex products but the main takeaway was the tip about using the styling cream 6 and the oil 7 together on your day 3 ends and leave it overnight. I have fine, high-porosity, wavy/curly, bleached ends that get dry, coarse and brittle by day 3. I started washing more frequently because it's too fine to be able to add much to it after the initial wash day products and my ends were suffering too much waiting a week for more conditioner. I tried your recommendation and OH MY GOD! it is pretty tricky to get the amounts right with fine but dry hair, but once I figured it out, it's amazing. Add a little dry shampoo to the roots, and its fabulous. I also started using #8 and idk if it's just all the dimethicone or what but wow, I have tried most of the moisture masks out there and this one left my hair softer than ever times a million. Thanks for all the advice!
I’m such a huge Olaplex fan, and I only discovered it about 5 months ago! Can I just say my hair has been completely reborn! I use #4 and #5 each time I shampoo, once to twice a week. Then once a week I skip the #5 and after shampooing, I put on a generous amount of #3, throw my hair in a bun, let it sit for 30-60 minutes, rinse and style. The cost is well worth it to me, because I am desperate to undo years of damage!
I discovered Olaplex about a month ago and they are by far the best hair products I have ever used in my 38 years. I noticed a massive difference in the reduction of hair loss straight away. I used to wake up with a pillow full of hair. Now there are none! Highly recommended. I prime with No.0, then No.3 straight on top for about 15 mins. Shampoo and Condition with Olaplex also. then No.6 and 7 mixed overnight like you suggested. I'm glad i'm doing it right. Thanks for the vid!
If you put a plastic cap on after applying #3, you can leave it on longer or overnight because it will keep it from drying out. That's what I do and it works for me.
I was given n.3 after going plat blonde, my poor hair was pretty damaged and I had some breakage that worried me immensely. after using n.3 twice I can definitely see improvement! I leave it on for an hour or two and just wash it off with my shampoo and conditioner. I recently got 0, 4, & 5 since my hair is in a desperate need of repair, can't wait to try it :)
I've just started using Olaplex after I heavily bleached my hair about 2 months ago. It's pretty damaged as my natural hair is a deep shade of black and I wanted to go to a blonde type colour. My hair is now straw like with split ends but I don't want to cut it as I don't want my hair any shorter than it is now. So I've decided to give Olaplex a try. This review is comprehensive and clear so really has helped me understand the products more. And, Olaplex No.0 now has a spray bottle version as well as that squeezy bottle.
I bought Olaplex a few months ago but was nervous because the reviews on Sephoras site and Tiktok seemed so polarizing. I wasn't disappointed though. I loveeee the N3, N4, and N5. I ended up purchasing N7 as well afterwards. My hair has never looked better. For anyone thinking about buying it but you're unsure of the cost -- yes, they are pricy but a little goes a long way. I bought the mini shampoo and conditioner in January or December and have lotssss left. I have very long thick hair also.
I have natural curly 3B/3c, grey hair. I wash my hair once a week, and blowout for style. I use a sulphate free shampoo clarifier kinky curly come clean or Mielle pomegranate and honey shampoo to clarify (monthly). Allow hair to dry to a slight damp. I saturate hair number number 0&3. Put on a plastic cap along with a silver processing cap… I will leave it in for 3hours up to bedtime… shampoo out with a lite poo (TGIN rose water or Pattern hydration or, any general sulphate&silicone free poo)..THEN I use Briogeo deep cond (any or all work) and mix with living proof intense moisturizer. Do the clear plastic cap over night and Rince. This is my Sunday to Monday hair day event. Again Olaplex is added to the routine every two weeks or monthly.
I bought the pureology shampoo based on your recommendation and OMG my hair has never stayed clean this long. I'm on day 6 post wash and it's the first day I've needed dry shampoo!
@Ashley OK thanks for that! I check those ones out! Such a struggle! 🤣 Abbey should do series where people give their hair concerns and she gives them products and a routine! Would be so handy!
Thank you so so sooooo much for this video. I've been wanting to use olaplex for so long, but I'm weary of home treatments from bad experiences (protein 😪). This product is expensive and I want to get the most benefits. The fact you got your information from the source make all the difference. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
When I sleep in #3 I will saturate my hair, put it in a top bun, and then cover my head with a shower cap. The shower cap keeps my hair wet so that the olaplex can keep working. I've tested this method against the 30-40 minute time when I'm in a hurry and the overnight treatment ALWAYS turns out so much better than the 30-40 minute treatment. I think the trick is probably keeping the hair wet....?
never would have thought to use #6 on dry hair overnight since it's heavy on fine hair I thought it would leave it greasy. I tried it on dry hair and it does work to leave hair soft and isn't greasy... what a good tip. plus I can use my lighter leave-ins on wet hair and can use up all of these products!
I’ve just found you. This is so helpful thank you. The salon uses them on my hair. I had a trial kit from them & liked but ive over bleached in lockdown so I got another but I now want full size products so this is a great help as I never know how to use them.
I use no 0 in a little spray bottle to apply, but first I wash my hair and get it into a towel to just only damp my hair. Then I apply no 0, take a transparent supermarket bag and put it on my head. I wait 30 minutes and then apply heat with a dryer. The plastic bag won't let your hair to dry. Then I apply no 3 and put again the bag. Then I wash my hair lightly again after a half hour, then I apply no 8 and put again the bag and wait and put the dryer to it and after an hour or two, I just rinse my hair and with damp hair I apply 6 and 7 together. And let it dry. I don't apply more heat I usually do this on sundays I have enough time to!
#7 Bonding oil is my overnight treat. It alone works for my dry, wavy hair so it’s a bit bouncier and shiny in the morning. Definitely needs the added hours to be absorbed and seal bonds.
My hair is baby fine and the same colors as yours. Olaplex has saved my hair. Otherwise I could never blonde it at all (platinum to hide the silver LOL) I use 0 under a cap for about 10 minutes, add the 3, wrap my hair up and sleep in it. It's still slightly damp in the am. Rinse add the 6 from the ends up and voila! The silkiest, strongest hair of my life. No/low frizz and I live in the tropics.
I use a shower cap and leave #3 on for 3 hours once a week. The hair stays damp. Then use #4 and #5 and hair oil. That works for me 😊 Thank you for a great video
I apply Olaplex N0 with a tint brush & bowl. I didn’t see any results when I first started using it as it’s so tricky to apply, but you can apply evenly with a tint brush & target the ends which always need more attention 👍🏻
I put number 0 into a spray bottle that has an adjustable stream..I put my hair in about 10 sections...ball up each section and spray the section while it sits in my hand. I don’t spray it like a can of hair spray. And then I pour the rest back into the bottle. So much easier and waste wayyyyy less! So...Num.0 (spray bottle) Num.3 ,then deep conditioner then shampoo and then moisturizing conditioner. It’s a lot of steps but my hair rarely tangles,stopped shedding profusely and feels amazing!!!
Put #2 or#3 on clean damp hair. Comb thru and put your hair on top of your head. Wrap your hair with saran cling wrap to keep it wet. Cover with a knit hat if desired. I leave it on at least 3 hrs. I often go to bed like this. The result is awesome! Rinse well.
Super helpful! I have fine hair too so this was really connecting with me and thank you so much for contacting the company and doing all this work for us!
❣️ Abbey❣️I’ve just tried the No3 as you’ve suggested and I’m soooo happy❣️I washed my hair, put it in my Turbie-Twist to remove excess water, applied No3 to all of damp hair, put damp Turbie-Twist back on for 45 min. Rinsed No 3 out, applied No5 conditioner and rinsed just prior to getting out of the shower. Dried and styled…..UN-FRIGGIN-BELIEVABLE…. I HAVE NEW HAIR❣️❤️ I’m interested to see how long this lasts until I need another treatment. I’ve also purchased the Amina The Kure conditioner on your recommendation, so will also be giving that a go soon. I’ve learned so much from your videos and research…..THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO❣️❣️❤️❤️💋
Yes! I typically shampoo my hair before no. 3, since I’m someone who uses rich conditioners/masks, leave in conditioners, oils/serums, etc. I just don’t want a barrier between the treatment and my dead ass hair 🤣🤣 I want what I paid for with each use!
Just a suggestion.. when you have #0 on and then add #3. If I leave it on longer than 30 minutes I just add some water threw it with my hands. Then it doesn’t dry out. Also putting a shower cap on and a wrap towel seems to help also. I’m blonde like you are and these products are amazing. 💖
I know my comment is many months later, but I find it interesting that Olaplex told you they were against the spray bottle for the use of No 0. I went to Sephora last week to stock up on 3,4,5 and saw that 0 was in a spray bottle!! This may be old news that Im just finding out, but thought I should share. I bought it and it is quicker than the other style, to be expected
I fell in love with olaplex last year. I currently use no3 on damp hair overnight and then no6 on my ends once washed and damp and then a tiny bit more once dry to smooth down the ends. My hair is super dry from bleaching it over the past 10 years so I'm trying to get it in a better condition and olaplex has certainly helped. I usually put a bit of no6 in every few days when the ends feel dry. I've just ordered the Olaplex oil today... hope that will be as good! Thanks for your video, very helpful as always.
Great tips 🙌 I used No0 and No3 tonight for the first time and my hair feels fabulous. I rewashed my hair and applied No8 and rinsed. Its silky soft and definitely something I will use monthly and the No8 weekly. I'm sold 👌
I used product 0-7 of olaplex for about 3 months and it ended up causing something like protein overload in my hair. They say olaplex has no protein and it can't cause protein overload but it seals the hair shaft in the same way. When the hair shift is sealed no protein or moisture can get in. My hair started to fall out after 3 months. Many others have had this experience. If you're going to use it make sure to keep up your moisturizing and protein products on the side. Contrary to what their website says it CAN be overused.
I am a hairstylist and actually did add 0 to a spray bottle, just for use on my own hair. While it does definitely saturate better and I feel like makes the product last longer, it literally makes me cough 😳 Soooo yeah.... There's definitely a reason why it doesn't just get retailed in a spray bottle.
I put mine in a spray bottle even though you really aren’t suppose to. But it definitely helps a lot. I just make sure I have my bathroom window and fan going when I put it in and it doesn’t affect me.
You sold me on these products, and let me tell you, my hair looks different after using them, my hair is super damaged and this products are my hair life savers❣️ I don’t write much usually, but I would say, thank you so much for these VERY helpful videos, new subscriber here😍
Hey Abby, love your work. Just seen that the Inkylist has released a PCA bond repair product that’s supposed to fix damaged bonds like the OLAPLEX system. Just wondering if you’d consider giving it a try in an upcoming video? X
i tried both and honestly prefer the inkey list by a LOT! olaplex didn't really do anything for me but with the pca bond repair i feel it kind of coats my hair without making it oily or stiff,just gives every hair a nice smooth texture and it looks healthier overall. i'm very impressed. bear in mind,i have extremely thick,dry,long hair with bleached highlights (balayage).
@@selinakyle156 that’s great to know, as I ordered it an hour ago 😂 I was clearly way too impatient to wait. Plus, I liked the idea that it was an ‘end’ product that didn’t need you to wait and wash etc. Do you have any tips?
@@hannahbanana6261 oh,great,i hope you'll like it ☺️ nothing special,it's really easy to use,i just spray it onto towel dried hair and comb through with a wide tooth comb before blow drying. the nozzle is a bit stubborn at first,it will take a few pumps but don't worry😂
Love Love Love this video.!!! Thank you so much.! ⭐️ quick question on the n6 and n7 overnight treatment, do you style regularly the next morning.? Or is it better to wash it.? Ty ✨✨✨
Love this stuff. I started with the 3,4,5 system and noticed my hair fall out decrease . Went back today to buy the complete system for $176. I am excited! Ready for my hair to grow
I use 4-7. I have a dupe for 3 from Amazon that’s less than $10. It’s called Elizavecca CER-100. Works exactly the same, imo. 6&7 I have used overnight and I agree it works great. I usually put it in on non-wash days, plus dry shampoo and then run my blow dryer through again. I always mix 6&7 together. My hair is incredibly soft and healthy after being crazy damaged.
Olaplex saved my hair when having major issues due to health issues and because I get blonde highlights. I started using it about 2 years ago. Love it! Thanks for sharing this info because I learned a few tips.
@@irenekxm1278 I use the shampoo (and have for about a year and love it), the No 0 and No 3 which are used together but I’ve only tried that once so far, and the leave in hair cream which is what I noticed made the most difference. I also just got the oil. I haven’t used it long enough to decide if I like it or not.
Thank you Abbey! I didnt think i had any questions until i watched you. I was at Sephora yeaterday and i passed on the no. 0 yay me and i had no idea they made no. 6 and how much i need it!! Thanks again! I just subscribed and excited to learn hair tricks to grow my 54 year old hair down to my booty!
I know you didn't talk about n°8 in this video, but a hack I do everytime I use n°0 and n°3 is that I also apply n°8 right after I applied n°3 and let them process together. My hair is heavenly smooth after that and it's less time consuming, because I also wash my hair once a week. I don't know if it's good or not in reality, but I have really good results from doing that.
Thank you so much for the super helpful video! I purchased everything except number zero and I’m so excited to start using my products today. I have blonde hair and have been bleaching it for about six years now. Although my hair is super strong and thick, I’m starting to see the effects of bleaching. Can’t wait to see the results!
Oh my god what a great video! I just bought 0,3,4,5,6 and 7 because of many reviews but as I’m waiting for my order to arrive I’ve been questioning many of the questions you answered in this video, brilliant 👏🏻
Such an informative video! I've slept with no. 3 in before and liked the results, but now I want to try your no. 6/no. 7 combo! Your hair looked amazing in that clip!! ❤️ P.S. I just recently stumbled across your channel and have been enjoying all of your hair care vids. ❤️❤️
Thanks for the clarifications as well as the official recommendations from manufacturer. Happy I found your channel and look forward to future content.
after my shampoo, when i get out of the shower, i used to apply the oil heat protection. It make my hair so shiny and beautiful and after 4 month my hair got longer.
Okay so i was one of those people that put it in a spray bottle and it was a Horrible idea. I kept coughing and it made my eyes water. Do not do it. Secondly, i do put #3 in my hair overnight and I get around the 'drying' part by adding in some other conditioner and water to make it soupy. That makes it easier to apply and ensure a good amount of moisture. Then I put a shower cap on and it keeps it damp till morning. And yes, mixing it with a paraben free conditioner totally still let's it work. Highly recommend!
Thank you for this video! I'm so glad I found it. I'm relatively new to your channel and like you I'm an Olaplex fan hardcore - it's my ride or die hair care. I use 4, 5 & 6 as my regular routine. I've got wavy hair and #6 really helped with my frizzies. I've been SO CURIOUS about #0, #3 and #7. I can't wait to try your overnight trick with #6 and #7 together!
Somehow your hair videos were on my recommendations list after I searched for Olaplex, lol. I recently bleached my hair and it has been a mess. Hopefully using your tips and methods will make as beautiful as yours!
After my cancer treatment with chemo, I had a lot of hair fallen out and the hair that I still got was very fine and my curls were not curled together but all separated, so very plushie looking. Now , after 3 months using olaplex 3 to 6, my curls are all beautiful bonded again, they shine and my hair grows like a baby. So happy with this products!
Take care ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@lindseyaliceford Thank u! I'm doing fine for now :-)
Me too! I had rad treatment but I lost hair after the surgery; then after radiation from being so anemic and malnourished. I use the 0, 3, 6 and despite platinum highlights have the best hair of my adult life. Hope you're doing well. FuckCancer.
@@rrogers6631 So glad to hear that you are also on the ment and got your beautiful hair back! We are strong and beat the beast :-)
Congrats! I’m so happy for you and I’m glad your doing well. 💕💕💕
Fun fact: Number 0 and number 3 are just diluted versions of number 1 and number 2 that stylists use in salons. Number 0/1 is what actually rebuilds the bonds in your hair and number 2/3 is what sets that process with a little additional bond building. That’s why your stylist gives you number 3 to take home (because it’s a diluted version of step 2). She puts step 1 in your color or bleach (or can be used as a stand-alone treatment with water) and then layers step 2 over it. As the effects of step 2 begin to break down during the weeks between your salon visits, the step 3 home treatment is like a bandaid that helps keep it going until the next time you go to the salon.
Tip for applying number 0- close your bathroom sink drain, cover your bathroom sink with a layer of plastic/Saran wrap and then flip your head/hair over into the sink and apply it that way. Any bit that isn’t absorbed by your hair fast enough will be caught by the plastic/Saran wrap and you can kinda mush your hair into it after to make sure you don’t waste a drop
Is there a way to get the stuff the stylists use? O.o
@@goodiegoodygumdrops this is the stuff the stylists use
When ever I went to the salon to have my hair colored they never gave me any olaplex products to take home not all salons give you olaplex for home use. I went to ULTA to get my hair colored
@@learninginaz8198 I mean the undiluted versions the salon has. XD
@@goodiegoodygumdrops unless you have a cosmetology license, then no. Lol
Healthy hair is happy hair! Thanks for your support!
I’ve heard allot of people saying recently that olaplex should not be used every wash lately?? Is this true??
@@Dickerson94 All of our products are safe for daily use. We only recommend using No. 0 and No. 3 1-2 times per week.
@@Olaplex thank you for your reply
@@Dickerson94 Our pleasure!
@@Dickerson94 Our pleasure!
This was VERY helpful! Thank you so much!
I bought #1, 2 and 3
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY Olaplex is so secretive about how to use their products. I don't think they provide enough information about their products and those infos should be on their bottles.
I could not agree more!!! They just went public, stock market AND the lack of user information is the only reason I don't want to invest with them. Blech....need new marketing folks!
I use #3 during my workouts 1-2 days a week. Weird hack but I swear by it!
I use a spray bottle to dampen my hair, apply #3, toss in a ballerina bun, head to the gym and I’m masking while I’m training! Kinda gross, but I think my sweat + body heat during training keeps my hair damp much longer and I find this time window works well for me. I wash out while showering post workout. Yep I’m in public with a hair mask on, nope I don’t care what my hair looks like while I’m hip thrusting. Booty and hair gains at the same time?! Yes ma’am!!
Booty and hair gains I love it 😂🙌🏻
@@AbbeyYung 🙈😂❤️
I actually do the same thing (when I remember to use it)!
@@AbbeyYung can you buy this on Amazon is it the authentic thing on Amazon
You are too funny!😂
You can wrap your hair in a few “buns”- then just squirt the #0 into the bun of hair and squeeze the bun to saturate the hair. Then let the bun down and comb through it / continue to bun up segments until your hair is saturated.
This makes it very easy to apply to your hair and no waste.
Thanks for that advice!! I'm sure that a lot of people are thinking "why didn't I think of that?" LoL I was!! 💜
brushing your hair while wet/damp will actually cause more breakage. you can't "hack" hair. either do it properly, with care or don't do it at all. don't blame the company later when your hair looks the same if not worse...
@Lb queen Wow great advice! Thanks so much, this is brilliant.
Ohh great idea!
i’m going to have to try this when i use it today or tomorrow
I just appreciate that you admit you only wash once a week and have been using it for a year instead of a very platinum blonde saying she used it once and it changed her life.
Good hair is an investment and anyone that says a product does the job in the first go is lying😂 you gotta invest and continuously use (at your own rate) xx
My hair is about the same length and trying 0 and 3 for the first time. I can't wait to see the results. I also only wash mine about once a week unless it gets incredibly dirty when working.
@@hairatno.8168 Olaplex actually does give dramatic results after the first use.
@@cfoster6804 yes it does, I totally agree - but it won’t completely fix your hair in one go
she is a very platinum blonde tho 💀
As a cosmetologist I really appreciate the effort that went into making this video accurate. Thank you for taking the time to correctly info people. Great video
olaplaex released a video showing you that you can actually mist your hair first with water then add #0 to help evenly spread the formula.
Hey! I have been using only n°3 and it has saved my hair so much ❤️ I now use it this way: instead of leaving it on over night and let the product dry and therefore loses its efficiency, I apply it in the morning, on a day I know I'll stay at home for few hours, and cover my wet hair saturated of olaplex with a shower cap to keep the moisture as long as possible and allow the product to keep working for a longer period on my hair. I have seen a massive difference since I started using this method. I hope this was useful 😃
i've read it's pretty unnecessary to leave it on longer than the suggested time of 10 minutes or so. There's only so much absorption your hair can do - and then it's just hanging out, lol.
Me too with furry cap 45 plus minutes. Finally got the shampoo and oil. Because after a few months my frazzeled thin bang stuff quit breaking off and i have hope!
i right now am using multiple shower caps, and a microfiber towel to insulate (keep the heat). i have no 0 and 3 in rn, and its my first time trying it
What do you use as shampoo and conditioner afterwards?
can u use n3 everyday?
This is WHITE GOLD. Wow, thank you for going directly to Olaplex to clarify lady!
I only really use number 3. But I had serious, serious damage as a result of a salon mistake around a year ago. I always shampoo first, then apply number 3, put a shower cap over it for a couple of hours and then wash out and condition. It only took one bottle to see amazing results, breakage stopped and shine came back. I'm not crazy about the other products, but I really can't rave about number 3 enough.
What conditioner do you use ? 😊
So do you shampoo again after using 3? No 3 days to wash and condition after using
My stylist told me I can use no 3 like I would with a leave in conditioner and it has helped my hair so much. I had a super dead section of hair that framed my face and it's so healthy now using no 3 with the leave-in method. I just put it on my ends/damaged pieces after I shower!
Does it weigh down your hair or leave it oily when using as a leave in?
It doesn't seem like a customer friendly company.
Wow this really opened up my eyes to the importance of using hair products properly for the maximum benefit. Usually I just apply products as I wish without even considering it’s intended use . Thank you so much for this video !
Since it only works while the hair’s wet, I’ve seen someone recommend to just spray down your hair as it dries throughout a day when you’re not doing much/at home, and I’ve found that way more helpful than leaving overnight.
I do the same thing.
That's a great suggestion!
@Amanda Leon That's a great idea!
Yes !! It is a game changer ! But definitely have to use the correct way otherwise, I
Leaving it in a bun works too! My hair doesn’t try in a bun so it stays pretty damp.
Did what you suggested and used 6&7 together overnight and what a game changer!! Thank you!
Do you wash your hair the next morning after using no 6 overnight?
wanna know too
No you don’t wash it the next day. As long as you don’t saturate your hair. Just apply it as if you were going to style it. But also mix the 7 oil with it for best results
@@christinezumpano you leave it in longer that way
@C. Hellard because if it’s overnight it just nourishes your hair without styling it or the elements of the outside. Kinda like using face products overnight so that they soak in and are more effective
Since no 3 only works while hair is wet, I load my hair with no 0, then add no 3 after a half hour, then I put my hair up in a shower cap or wrap it with cling wrap and put a beanie over it. I sleep with it wrapped up. The 0/3 combo works most effectively on my hair that way.
Katie thanks for your tips. I just purchased 0/3... and was thinking to use them exactly the way you describe.
I added Olaplex 0 once to a spray bottle and it went straight into my lungs hehehe I was coughing for 10 minutes and felt soo stuffy. So DONT do it!
Wear your face mask. Lol We all have them.
Number 0 is not meant to be exposed to air so you should keep it in the bottle it came in
Same here learned that fast lol
Even with a mask it was horrible. I made the big mistske of adding it to a spray bottle aswell. I could not stop coughing
Me too omG.. never again!
Currently sitting with No.3is my hair for the first time, before trying No.8, 6 and 7. Very informative and helpful video. You’ve covered all questions that I had about the products. Hoping for good results 😊
So, my hair stylist uses Olaplex on my hair and I have been using it for so long. She actually recommended this and this is what I do now, is use no. 3 as a leave in conditioner after I shower. Promise it is a game changer. Hair is clean, open for saturation and does not leave my hair weighed down/greasy. Would def recommend :)
What does leave in mean ?
Like after applying the conditioner just rinse it but you should have some conditioner left on your hair ?
@@vidhijain3150 leave in means you don't wash it anymore...as she said in the video of number 6 and no 7 oil...you just use them and leave it like that. Not sure how it works with nr3 as should be use on wet hair before you use no4 and then no 5
I would not do this. Companies have instructions for a reason. You'll be the one suing Olaplex for hairloss in a year because you and your stylist didn't follow directions.
In the salon when we offer the #3 treatment as an add on we use a shower cap! Helps to hold in the moisture.. like you said this product works best when the hair is wet so the shower cap helps to hold all that moisture in!
I’ve never tried Olaplex but with my keratin treatment being over due, I’ve been using more heat tools lately and I noticed that my fine, thin hair is a little more sad and brittle. A friend, whose a hairstylist mentioned the brand so after a quick review, I bought the No.3. Like others, I found the ‘how to use’ part a little vague so I was looking for more information on how to use it. Your video was perfect, thank you!
I just started using Olaplex about a month ago, I have very thick, super curly, red hair...and frizz is my mortal enemy, as is dry hair...and OMFG the huge difference it has made!!! My hair is super strong, looks great, and feels amazing. I highly recommend it.
Which ones do you use?
@@mayapintoiazzouguen4818 I use 3, 4, 5, and 6.
I only use #3 once a week. Numbers 4, 5, and 6 just about every other day, sometimes less. It's been huge. I was ready to cut off my entire hair...just shave it off and start new...but now I don't have to. It's doing well.
The way I use No3 is: wash my hair with shampoo - put No3 in wet hair - put wash cap and towel over it and hold it like that for 60min/90min - rinse No3 - wash hair with shampoo - put conditioner - styling products.
Same!
A big thank you for your research on these products! I've been using the whole line for a couple of weeks now and absolutely love it. Trying to really work on hair care so my hair can be thick, healthy and strong. Your videos have been so informative and a great help 🥰
Of course! I’m so glad to hear that 🥰
Girl same! #hairjourney2021
I use the number 3 and then put a bag on my head for a few hours. That way it doesn't dry right away. I put it on while I'm doing my skincare routine and then leave it on while I'm relaxing in bed or around the house. Then I just remove the bag when I go to sleep, and leave it on overnight. That makes a huge difference!
On dry or wet hair?
@@angelicamatassa7595 always on wet hair
I’m a stylist of 25
Years and since this product came out this is how I have my clients use it.
With great results.
@@Iloveitjeremiah is it okey if I use No 2 at home in the same way as No 3? Buying a big bottle of No 2 is way cheaper
This was really helpful! I had only used no.3 up until now, just took the plunge and brought the complete set. I was nervous and didn’t want to waste the products by not using them properly. I had looked on olaplexs website but this was way more comprehensive and it was nice you went through them in sequence. Thank you!!!
Thank you! I currently use No. 6 and 7. I use 6 right after I wash my hair whether I straighten it or not. Although it s not for repairing the hair, I have noticed a huge difference since I started using it. When I do straighten my hair I apply this first, a little less than pea size, let it sit. I follow it with the Moroccan oil smooth lotion for Blow-dry, about the same amount. By this point my hair smells Amazing! And then I follow it with this like very generic heat protectant spray my salon lady uses ( I will admit once this finishes I plan to buy a professional one) I like to do about 3 sprays ON MY HANDS, i don’t like to spray directly on my hair, and honestly, my blow dry last Long time and I get nice shine. Once I am done blow drying it ( I use Lange blow dry brush) I do apply No 7 to my ends and reapply it my third day. I am currently pregnant and get really hot, and sweaty, so I expect this styling to last me a little longer once I give birth. I have natural curly hair, my hair is up to my trapezoids and it’s color treated. Honestly this routine has been the best one I found. I have learned recently Moroccan Oil products are best for Coarse hair, but I’d you have thin to medium hair just use VERY LITTLE, or don’t use it at all. I hope this helps someone :)
I love the research and time it took to give correct advice instead of assumptions like everyone does. Great video!!
Hi...my daughter got me the entire collection and thank God I found you, because it's a lot to take in. Just followed this video to start using No. 0 and No. 3. Thank you!
I believe that inhalation might be the issue with putting No.0 in a spray bottle. I recently watched some girl here on youtube spraying the No.0 on her hair and she was almost choking. So that might be the reason why they don't recommend it :)
I just love using no.3 as part of a pamper routine, I wash my hair with a purple shampoo & conditioner to tone, then apply no.3 all over and put up in a scrunchie, fake tan and off to sleep to wake up like a goddess!
Same ! Im using it right now on my me day.. i washed it and tone my hair already too so its super clean i have olaplex on it now .. do i need to shampoo again?
I’ve heard it works better without conditioner as you’re stopping it touch the hair shaft
If you have conditioner it does not work and also you need to rinse it our with shampoo and conditioner...
@@nirvanaselic I find it works for me!! ☺️
@@shivonmakeupbiz I don't know how because the logic of the development of the product does not follow that rule
I totally needed an olaplex tutorial like this!!! Now I feel comfortable enough to buy and use the products!!! Thank you so much! You’re so awesome!
Recently found your channel. I am a 57 year old post menopausal woman with hair and skin concerns and you have been helpful. Can I just say that when you are in your shower or otherwise with no makeup, you look like a 14 year old! So when you are 80, you will look 50. And now Olaplex puts the number 0 in a spray bottle. Thanks for all of your hard work with all of your videos!
Perfect timing! Just decided I need to get on a serious Olaplex regimen instead of just using no. 3 every couple months. Oily scalp/color treated dry ends-the struggle is real!
How’s your hair doing?
@@elegant_peasant I actually just ordered some products so I haven’t exactly started “rehab” yet.
@@iwillstom I see. I tried olaplex no 3 yesterday and it did wonders to my hair. It doesn’t really “moisturize”, it repairs. It gives certain strength and elasticity to the hair. I’ve tried many moisturizing treatments and the effect goes away after a few washes. I guess this is actually repairing the hair. Ive read it takes 4-5 treatments to see noticeable results so I’m looking forward to it. It already feels great after one treatment!
@@iwillstom How’s your hair doing now sis?
@@CremedelaCreme777 Lots healthier, doing the routine at least twice a month.
Little suggestion:
If you want use olaplex N0
Wash your hair with head down, this won't only give you more volume, but after the shampoo I take N0 and I put it on my dumped hair always with head down.
This method help me a lot to don't lose product and the water that it's already on the hair help to spread better the product on all the shaft.
Furthermore I squeeze a little the hair in a but to make sure that all product it's spread evenly on the hair. I put it in a bun with plastic wrap and I went for the heating cuff ( I purchased it on Amazon, it's amazing for hair treatments).
After 15 minutes I apply in the same way the number 3 : bun, plastic wrap and heating cuff but for 30 minutes to 1 hour if I have a lot of time.
This will let the treatment go deeper inside the hair shaft, and it's like 3 hours of treatment on.
After that, I apply shea moisture mask and I go for another heating cuff for at least 30 minutes.
My hair at the end are Amazing, and this is my key to let them growing sooo long and strong, with a lot of volume and no split or dry ends.
Obviously do a trim every 6 months.
(Girls, I know it's a lot of time but it's my "hair day treatment" and I take all the time to take care of myself and my hair✨let's share some love to our hair together🤍✨)
That’s funny they recommended it not to be airborne because they actually came out with new packaging for Number 0 and it’s a spray bottle haha
Haaaaaa so there you go
This is the comment i was looking for!! 👀🔥🔥 so true!!!! This now opens a new set of questions: did they change the formula for it to be airborne (probably not); were they being untruthful answering her question (who knows 🤷🏻♀️), will they keep using the old AND new packaging so that we have more choices of which one we prefer more… we will see.
Wondered about that too! 👍
But have you used the new spray bottle? It sprays in a stream, not a nice dispersing spray like a typical spray bottle. It's almost harder to apply. It comes out faster and that's about it.
@@auntielala9 omg I hate the bottle design so I put it in a new bottle that mists instead
Oh em geee! Thank you for this video! I have type 4 kinky- curly, high porosity, FINE hair, low to medium density. I loooove Olaplex, but have had these EXACT questions. Really appreciate the effort you put into getting these answers. 🙋🏾♀️ 😩🥰
Omg we have the same hair, except I have meduim to high density so you use the conditioner?
I put number 0 in a spray bottle and wear a face mask while spraying my hair.. That way I have more control of how much product I use.. So far it works for me.. Just got number 8 can’t wait to use it..
The brand said don’t do that
@@Talpop222 the brand made a spray bottle version so idk why they said that
Just ordered all of these from the Olaplex site! So excited to try
I leave No 1 for an hour, and number 3 for like 2 hours while I play video games. Olaplex really worked well in improving the condition of my bleached damaged hair
my hair is really damaged from bleach. did it help it to break less and grow more?
@@mercedesobrien7661 It really helped a lot. It doesn't get your hair back to pre-bleach condition, but it did repair it by at least 50% and made my hair more manageable.

@@annie-eq2ye get the olaplex no 3 it did wonders to my damaged hair
@@annie-eq2ye my hair was gummy after a perm and I used Aphogee 2 steps process and it worked wonders.

This is SO helpful! One of the top 2 best reviews I've seen yet on TH-cam. Thank you so much for making this and explaining each product so well, as well as checking with Olaplex to debunk anything that isn't necessary/true! Definitely going to try more products now!
Ha! Just bought Olaplex shampoo and conditioner and bonding oil and found your video. Getting the creme and leave in cond. next... Thank you!!
Video starts at 2:10..! I was confused about no. 7, thanks for the info! :)
I had to come back to thank you...
Saw this video, it helped answer a lot of questions I had about olaplex products but the main takeaway was the tip about using the styling cream 6 and the oil 7 together on your day 3 ends and leave it overnight. I have fine, high-porosity, wavy/curly, bleached ends that get dry, coarse and brittle by day 3. I started washing more frequently because it's too fine to be able to add much to it after the initial wash day products and my ends were suffering too much waiting a week for more conditioner. I tried your recommendation and OH MY GOD! it is pretty tricky to get the amounts right with fine but dry hair, but once I figured it out, it's amazing. Add a little dry shampoo to the roots, and its fabulous. I also started using #8 and idk if it's just all the dimethicone or what but wow, I have tried most of the moisture masks out there and this one left my hair softer than ever times a million. Thanks for all the advice!
Would love to see a video about heat protectants you use!
I’m such a huge Olaplex fan, and I only discovered it about 5 months ago! Can I just say my hair has been completely reborn! I use #4 and #5 each time I shampoo, once to twice a week. Then once a week I skip the #5 and after shampooing, I put on a generous amount of #3, throw my hair in a bun, let it sit for 30-60 minutes, rinse and style. The cost is well worth it to me, because I am desperate to undo years of damage!
I discovered Olaplex about a month ago and they are by far the best hair products I have ever used in my 38 years. I noticed a massive difference in the reduction of hair loss straight away. I used to wake up with a pillow full of hair. Now there are none! Highly recommended. I prime with No.0, then No.3 straight on top for about 15 mins. Shampoo and Condition with Olaplex also. then No.6 and 7 mixed overnight like you suggested. I'm glad i'm doing it right. Thanks for the vid!
If you put a plastic cap on after applying #3, you can leave it on longer or overnight because it will keep it from drying out. That's what I do and it works for me.
I was given n.3 after going plat blonde, my poor hair was pretty damaged and I had some breakage that worried me immensely. after using n.3 twice I can definitely see improvement! I leave it on for an hour or two and just wash it off with my shampoo and conditioner. I recently got 0, 4, & 5 since my hair is in a desperate need of repair, can't wait to try it :)
I've just started using Olaplex after I heavily bleached my hair about 2 months ago. It's pretty damaged as my natural hair is a deep shade of black and I wanted to go to a blonde type colour. My hair is now straw like with split ends but I don't want to cut it as I don't want my hair any shorter than it is now. So I've decided to give Olaplex a try. This review is comprehensive and clear so really has helped me understand the products more. And, Olaplex No.0 now has a spray bottle version as well as that squeezy bottle.
I bought Olaplex a few months ago but was nervous because the reviews on Sephoras site and Tiktok seemed so polarizing. I wasn't disappointed though. I loveeee the N3, N4, and N5. I ended up purchasing N7 as well afterwards. My hair has never looked better. For anyone thinking about buying it but you're unsure of the cost -- yes, they are pricy but a little goes a long way. I bought the mini shampoo and conditioner in January or December and have lotssss left. I have very long thick hair also.
I have natural curly 3B/3c, grey hair. I wash my hair once a week, and blowout for style. I use a sulphate free shampoo clarifier kinky curly come clean or Mielle pomegranate and honey shampoo to clarify (monthly). Allow hair to dry to a slight damp. I saturate hair number number 0&3. Put on a plastic cap along with a silver processing cap… I will leave it in for 3hours up to bedtime… shampoo out with a lite poo (TGIN rose water or Pattern hydration or, any general sulphate&silicone free poo)..THEN I use Briogeo deep cond (any or all work) and mix with living proof intense moisturizer. Do the clear plastic cap over night and Rince. This is my Sunday to Monday hair day event. Again Olaplex is added to the routine every two weeks or monthly.
I bought the pureology shampoo based on your recommendation and OMG my hair has never stayed clean this long. I'm on day 6 post wash and it's the first day I've needed dry shampoo!
Did you get it recently? Watched all of abbeys videos and had decided to buy it but all the recent reviews said they new formula is terrible!
@Ashley yes!
@Ashley OK thanks for that! I check those ones out! Such a struggle! 🤣 Abbey should do series where people give their hair concerns and she gives them products and a routine! Would be so handy!
Which video was this ? Thanks!
Thank you so so sooooo much for this video. I've been wanting to use olaplex for so long, but I'm weary of home treatments from bad experiences (protein 😪). This product is expensive and I want to get the most benefits. The fact you got your information from the source make all the difference. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
When I sleep in #3 I will saturate my hair, put it in a top bun, and then cover my head with a shower cap. The shower cap keeps my hair wet so that the olaplex can keep working. I've tested this method against the 30-40 minute time when I'm in a hurry and the overnight treatment ALWAYS turns out so much better than the 30-40 minute treatment. I think the trick is probably keeping the hair wet....?
never would have thought to use #6 on dry hair overnight since it's heavy on fine hair I thought it would leave it greasy. I tried it on dry hair and it does work to leave hair soft and isn't greasy... what a good tip. plus I can use my lighter leave-ins on wet hair and can use up all of these products!
These are the questions I've been searching for EVERYWHERE! So glad TH-cam recommended this & i've subscribed ❤️
I’ll definitely use number 3 for 30-40 minutes to get the maximum benefits from it. Great video. Very informative.
I’ve just found you. This is so helpful thank you. The salon uses them on my hair. I had a trial kit from them & liked but ive over bleached in lockdown so I got another but I now want full size products so this is a great help as I never know how to use them.
I use no 0 in a little spray bottle to apply, but first I wash my hair and get it into a towel to just only damp my hair. Then I apply no 0, take a transparent supermarket bag and put it on my head. I wait 30 minutes and then apply heat with a dryer. The plastic bag won't let your hair to dry. Then I apply no 3 and put again the bag. Then I wash my hair lightly again after a half hour, then I apply no 8 and put again the bag and wait and put the dryer to it and after an hour or two, I just rinse my hair and with damp hair I apply 6 and 7 together. And let it dry. I don't apply more heat
I usually do this on sundays I have enough time to!
#7 Bonding oil is my overnight treat. It alone works for my dry, wavy hair so it’s a bit bouncier and shiny in the morning. Definitely needs the added hours to be absorbed and seal bonds.
Do you need to wash your hair after applying no7
My hair is baby fine and the same colors as yours. Olaplex has saved my hair. Otherwise I could never blonde it at all (platinum to hide the silver LOL) I use 0 under a cap for about 10 minutes, add the 3, wrap my hair up and sleep in it. It's still slightly damp in the am. Rinse add the 6 from the ends up and voila! The silkiest, strongest hair of my life. No/low frizz and I live in the tropics.
Ugh, I am SO happy you popped up as suggested! I wasn't even recently looking at hair products online but dear god did I ever need your channel! Xo
I use a shower cap and leave #3 on for 3 hours once a week. The hair stays damp.
Then use #4 and #5 and hair oil.
That works for me 😊
Thank you for a great video
I apply Olaplex N0 with a tint brush & bowl. I didn’t see any results when I first started using it as it’s so tricky to apply, but you can apply evenly with a tint brush & target the ends which always need more attention 👍🏻
Thank you, this is a smart idea!
I put number 0 into a spray bottle that has an adjustable stream..I put my hair in about 10 sections...ball up each section and spray the section while it sits in my hand. I don’t spray it like a can of hair spray. And then I pour the rest back into the bottle. So much easier and waste wayyyyy less!
So...Num.0 (spray bottle)
Num.3 ,then deep conditioner then shampoo and then moisturizing conditioner. It’s a lot of steps but my hair rarely tangles,stopped shedding profusely and feels amazing!!!
Perfect timing! I actually have #3 on my hair right now as I'm watching this, lol
Love it!
Me too🤣🤣🤣 i just wanna check if i am doing right😅
Put #2 or#3 on clean damp hair. Comb thru and put your hair on top of your head. Wrap your hair with saran cling wrap to keep it wet. Cover with a knit hat if desired. I leave it on at least 3 hrs. I often go to bed like this. The result is awesome! Rinse well.
Super helpful! I have fine hair too so this was really connecting with me and thank you so much for contacting the company and doing all this work for us!
❣️ Abbey❣️I’ve just tried the No3 as you’ve suggested and I’m soooo happy❣️I washed my hair, put it in my Turbie-Twist to remove excess water, applied No3 to all of damp hair, put damp Turbie-Twist back on for 45 min. Rinsed No 3 out, applied No5 conditioner and rinsed just prior to getting out of the shower. Dried and styled…..UN-FRIGGIN-BELIEVABLE…. I HAVE NEW HAIR❣️❤️ I’m interested to see how long this lasts until I need another treatment. I’ve also purchased the Amina The Kure conditioner on your recommendation, so will also be giving that a go soon. I’ve learned so much from your videos and research…..THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO❣️❣️❤️❤️💋
Yes! I typically shampoo my hair before no. 3, since I’m someone who uses rich conditioners/masks, leave in conditioners, oils/serums, etc. I just don’t want a barrier between the treatment and my dead ass hair 🤣🤣 I want what I paid for with each use!
Do you wash again after the 10 min or just rinse no3 off your hair?
@@77mirr yeah, I still shampoo the no.3 out and then go in with a conditioner or mask.
My hairstylist say same use shampoo before using no 3
Just a suggestion.. when you have #0 on and then add #3. If I leave it on longer than 30 minutes I just add some water threw it with my hands. Then it doesn’t dry out. Also putting a shower cap on and a wrap towel seems to help also. I’m blonde like you are and these products are amazing. 💖
I know my comment is many months later, but I find it interesting that Olaplex told you they were against the spray bottle for the use of No 0. I went to Sephora last week to stock up on 3,4,5 and saw that 0 was in a spray bottle!! This may be old news that Im just finding out, but thought I should share. I bought it and it is quicker than the other style, to be expected
It still comes out in a stream unfortunately
Then they changed the formulation to make it possible. Easy
I fell in love with olaplex last year. I currently use no3 on damp hair overnight and then no6 on my ends once washed and damp and then a tiny bit more once dry to smooth down the ends. My hair is super dry from bleaching it over the past 10 years so I'm trying to get it in a better condition and olaplex has certainly helped. I usually put a bit of no6 in every few days when the ends feel dry. I've just ordered the Olaplex oil today... hope that will be as good! Thanks for your video, very helpful as always.
Great tips 🙌 I used No0 and No3 tonight for the first time and my hair feels fabulous. I rewashed my hair and applied No8 and rinsed. Its silky soft and definitely something I will use monthly and the No8 weekly. I'm sold 👌
Thank you so much for clarifying the product buildup issue before using #3, it's just what I needed answered!
I used product 0-7 of olaplex for about 3 months and it ended up causing something like protein overload in my hair. They say olaplex has no protein and it can't cause protein overload but it seals the hair shaft in the same way. When the hair shift is sealed no protein or moisture can get in. My hair started to fall out after 3 months. Many others have had this experience. If you're going to use it make sure to keep up your moisturizing and protein products on the side. Contrary to what their website says it CAN be overused.
Same thing happened to me
@@lopxxjulie9375 WHAAAAATTTTT? :o What moisturizing and protein products would you suggest?
@@petraformosa6504 ive recently used the brand joico! I really recommend it
@@petraformosa6504 for protein I use olaplex but not for every wash cause it does have a little to much protein it drys out my hair
Wow, wasn’t expecting such a thorough and well done review. Top notch! Definitely giving it a thumbs up! 👍
I am a hairstylist and actually did add 0 to a spray bottle, just for use on my own hair. While it does definitely saturate better and I feel like makes the product last longer, it literally makes me cough 😳 Soooo yeah.... There's definitely a reason why it doesn't just get retailed in a spray bottle.
Yea it made me cough too!!!
I put mine in a spray bottle even though you really aren’t suppose to. But it definitely helps a lot. I just make sure I have my bathroom window and fan going when I put it in and it doesn’t affect me.
Yes, there is a reason it is not in spray bottle, because the fumes NOT suppose to enter your breathing organs. its bad for them.
Do you think if I wear a mask that would be ok?
@@lovelite6737 I think wearing a mask will be fine
You sold me on these products, and let me tell you, my hair looks different after using them, my hair is super damaged and this products are my hair life savers❣️ I don’t write much usually, but I would say, thank you so much for these VERY helpful videos, new subscriber here😍
Hey Abby, love your work. Just seen that the Inkylist has released a PCA bond repair product that’s supposed to fix damaged bonds like the OLAPLEX system. Just wondering if you’d consider giving it a try in an upcoming video? X
Yes it’s on my list to review 😊
i tried both and honestly prefer the inkey list by a LOT! olaplex didn't really do anything for me but with the pca bond repair i feel it kind of coats my hair without making it oily or stiff,just gives every hair a nice smooth texture and it looks healthier overall. i'm very impressed. bear in mind,i have extremely thick,dry,long hair with bleached highlights (balayage).
@@selinakyle156 that’s great to know, as I ordered it an hour ago 😂 I was clearly way too impatient to wait. Plus, I liked the idea that it was an ‘end’ product that didn’t need you to wait and wash etc. Do you have any tips?
@@hannahbanana6261 oh,great,i hope you'll like it ☺️ nothing special,it's really easy to use,i just spray it onto towel dried hair and comb through with a wide tooth comb before blow drying. the nozzle is a bit stubborn at first,it will take a few pumps but don't worry😂
@@selinakyle156 awesome, thanks for the heads up on the nozzle 😊
Love Love Love this video.!!! Thank you so much.! ⭐️ quick question on the n6 and n7 overnight treatment, do you style regularly the next morning.? Or is it better to wash it.? Ty ✨✨✨
Love this stuff. I started with the 3,4,5 system and noticed my hair fall out decrease . Went back today to buy the complete system for $176. I am excited! Ready for my hair to grow
I have a question, do u put in the hair mask before you use shampoo and conditioner ?
I use 4-7. I have a dupe for 3 from Amazon that’s less than $10. It’s called Elizavecca CER-100. Works exactly the same, imo. 6&7 I have used overnight and I agree it works great. I usually put it in on non-wash days, plus dry shampoo and then run my blow dryer through again. I always mix 6&7 together. My hair is incredibly soft and healthy after being crazy damaged.
Olaplex saved my hair when having major issues due to health issues and because I get blonde highlights. I started using it about 2 years ago. Love it! Thanks for sharing this info because I learned a few tips.
Which ones did you use? I also just got my hair bleached.
@@irenekxm1278 I use the shampoo (and have for about a year and love it), the No 0 and No 3 which are used together but I’ve only tried that once so far, and the leave in hair cream which is what I noticed made the most difference. I also just got the oil. I haven’t used it long enough to decide if I like it or not.
Thank you Abbey! I didnt think i had any questions until i watched you. I was at Sephora yeaterday and i passed on the no. 0 yay me and i had no idea they made no. 6 and how much i need it!! Thanks again! I just subscribed and excited to learn hair tricks to grow my 54 year old hair down to my booty!
I know you didn't talk about n°8 in this video, but a hack I do everytime I use n°0 and n°3 is that I also apply n°8 right after I applied n°3 and let them process together. My hair is heavenly smooth after that and it's less time consuming, because I also wash my hair once a week. I don't know if it's good or not in reality, but I have really good results from doing that.
Perfect timing! It's my olaplex wash day 👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽
Yess 🙌🏻
I know, this was so perfect, because I’m dying my hair today, so doing the whole Olaplex routine beforehand!
I have a TON of long, fine hair and put it into 2 braids for #0. Apply over a large bowl to recapture what spills off. No spray, no problem.
do you think n°0 is still useful without number 3?
@@yourebeingridiculous Sorry, never tried it alone :/
Thank you so much for the super helpful video! I purchased everything except number zero and I’m so excited to start using my products today. I have blonde hair and have been bleaching it for about six years now. Although my hair is super strong and thick, I’m starting to see the effects of bleaching. Can’t wait to see the results!
Oh my god what a great video! I just bought 0,3,4,5,6 and 7 because of many reviews but as I’m waiting for my order to arrive I’ve been questioning many of the questions you answered in this video, brilliant 👏🏻
Don't forget 8 lol and 9
Such an informative video! I've slept with no. 3 in before and liked the results, but now I want to try your no. 6/no. 7 combo! Your hair looked amazing in that clip!! ❤️ P.S. I just recently stumbled across your channel and have been enjoying all of your hair care vids. ❤️❤️
Thanks for the clarifications as well as the official recommendations from manufacturer. Happy I found your channel and look forward to future content.
after my shampoo, when i get out of the shower, i used to apply the oil heat protection. It make my hair so shiny and beautiful and after 4 month my hair got longer.
Okay so i was one of those people that put it in a spray bottle and it was a Horrible idea. I kept coughing and it made my eyes water. Do not do it.
Secondly, i do put #3 in my hair overnight and I get around the 'drying' part by adding in some other conditioner and water to make it soupy. That makes it easier to apply and ensure a good amount of moisture. Then I put a shower cap on and it keeps it damp till morning. And yes, mixing it with a paraben free conditioner totally still let's it work. Highly recommend!
I have lots of blonde. I have used #3 as a leave in conditioner for years. I wash twice a week.
Thank you for this video! I'm so glad I found it. I'm relatively new to your channel and like you I'm an Olaplex fan hardcore - it's my ride or die hair care. I use 4, 5 & 6 as my regular routine. I've got wavy hair and #6 really helped with my frizzies. I've been SO CURIOUS about #0, #3 and #7. I can't wait to try your overnight trick with #6 and #7 together!
Somehow your hair videos were on my recommendations list after I searched for Olaplex, lol. I recently bleached my hair and it has been a mess. Hopefully using your tips and methods will make as beautiful as yours!
this is my new favourite channel!
Thank you so much for the tip of mixing the bond smoother and oil, such a good result on curly hair!
