Today I rinsed my hair. Used 3, shampooed with 4, used the mask 8 and rinsed. 6 and 7 to style no other products and my coarse thick curly hair was butter soft and easy to detangle. I absolutely LOVE 8 and will used again.
Great video Abbey! This is what is confusing about Olaplex No. 3 - so many people refer to it as a 'pre-shampoo treatment,' but yet the company itself recommends to put it on 'after' you shampoo. Also, my advice for application of these products is to just apply them after you get out of the shower. Do some things around the house and then rinse them out. Ten minutes in the shower is a long time! Thanks again.
I learnt my lesson! I thought I'd save abit of money and buy off ebay. Never again! They are fake. Ill just go to space nk and buy,atleast I don't have to wait for post!
If you ever do, you should do the full Olaplex routine 0-8. I did it this week and the damage and dryness were just about non-existent. I used everything but their conditioner since I had their mask.
@@jakebeauchamp3com YES!!! 👏👏👏❤️ Since #8 came out, and after experimenting a little bit with it on its own, this is now the only way I’ll use it!!! Using #0 thru #8 in succession the way they recommend, really does optimize the patented proprietary benefits!!! But I do double/triple the time to leave it in than is recommended by the manufacturer, with a disposable cap on with each product to keep them moist longer because if you let it dry the active ingredient stops working. And I add heat for half of the time each product is in my hair, my theory is that it’ll help open the cuticle more or faster in order ensure it’s penetrating into the hair strand deeper and for longer. So this is my Olaplex routine: #0 with cap on for 10 minutes under heat, then another 10 minutes without heat to cool down. But I do wet my roots with water, as virgin hair isn’t damaged and so I don’t want to waste #0 on that particular area. I rather use it smarter and sparingly, this isn’t cheap stuff! I target my application on the actual damage in my hair. Then I add #3 w/cap on for 20 minutes under heat, 20 minutes w/o heat to cool down. This again I concentrate on mids to ends as that’s where the bulk of my damage is and only the tiniest bit gets on the roots when I comb it through to make sure there is even distribution. Wash & condition with #4 as directed. Then #8 cap on, under heat for 15 minutes, 15 w/o heat to cool down. Once again mids to ends and again the tiniest bit gets on the roots with a comb through to ensure even distribution. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and style with #6. DONE!! My hair feels healthier than it has in YEARS!!! Thicker, fuller and so much stronger, that’s what Olaplex has done for me!!! It’s really amazing stuff. Magical sorcery!!! 🥰♥️
Legit one of the most underrated TH-cam creators. I’ve been following you for about a year and honestly I don’t understand how you do not have a bigger following!! Your videos are so thorough and honest and I always get excited when you post.
I thought no 3 was for before shampooing? Lol. I do no 0 for 10 mins, don't rinse and put no 3 for around 20 mins. Then rinse shampoo, I put no 5 conditioner on the top of my hair and no 8 on the bottom for 10 mins, then rinse and towel dry, then some no 6 and a bit of no 7. Isn't that what the instructions indicate? 🤷♀️
I love number 3 and I'm tempted by 8 but I'll probably just stick with number 3. It makes my hair super soft and healthy as it is and I just use regular shampoo and conditioner
I have seen full-on doctors on here that don't go as in-depth as you do. Thank you so much for this; I plan to purchase at least one of these when my "organic" hair masks run out (great concept but weak effectiveness). (I have hoarded haircare with the last 2 years that needs to be finished first). Side note, your channel is GOING TO BLOW UP. Seriously, you are amazing! So helpful, and your content is super high quality. I can tell you spend a TON of time on these. It also helps to receive "beauty tips" from someone who walks the walk; you are beautiful, so that "halo effect" goes a long way here.
I loved your video! This video, and the other one were so helpful on how to use the products. It also helped me decide which products to buy first. I just bought No 3 and No 8. I will be rinsing No3 out in a few minutes and applying No 8 after that! I am looking forward to seeing a change in my hair. I am a healthcare worker who works in one of the hospitals in my city. Since the COVID pandemic, I have felt like I needed to wash my hair daily so that I didn't risk getting sick. I feel that the daily washing has helped me stay healthy but it has taken a toll on my hair, causing it to become dry and brittle with a fair amount of breakage. Again, thank you very much for the video, it was very informative. I look forward to trying out No 0 next once I see how No 3 (and No 8) impacts my hair.
I prefer no. 3 only because it's easier to use, as I put it one and them do other stuff like watch TV or cook my dinner. While with No.8 you have to just stand there in the shower for 10 mins... this seems ok if you are a bath person but as a shower person, 10 mins feels awfully long when you are just standing there wet in the shower.
As dude coming from cheap shampoos and conditioners Olaplex’s numbering system is super confusing so I just ordered #3,4,5,6 and 8 haha. My hair is currently super frizzy and split so I really hope all the hype around the olaplex brand is worth it😅
Thank you for this information. I have been using olaplex for about 6 months now. I LOVE Olaplex my hair was dead it has come back to life. I do plan on trying #8 I can't wait to try it out. I have implemented some of your suggestions from other videos and it has helped with my hairs health.
I use both of these products was wondering all these things! Especially how long to keep #8 on my hair for max repair. Can always count on you to clear things up. Thanks!
Use all of them.. that’s what I do. My hair has never been more amazing. Before using Olaplex, my hair was falling out like crazy from Covid 3 months prior. I use conditioner prior to the deep conditioner so my hair isn’t so tangled and I can comb my fingers through
Please answer if you can, a stylist told me Olaplex will begin to dry out your hair if you leave it on more than 10 minutes. I have the entire line and they all say 10 minutes or a minimum of… Did Olaplex say anything to you about over processing? Thank you!
Thank you so much! I love the #3, hair oil and leave in so I will try the mask! These products have saved my frizzy, damaged bleached hair more than anything🙏🏻
Aren't you supposed to shampoo your hair after no. 3 as well? Or you can skip that and go directly with the conditioner or mask? Thank you for the video!!!
This was super helpful but I’ve been using 3-6 for a while and it’s really annoying to hear you should use 3 AFTER 4 even though their label tells you to following 3 with 4 😅 feels like I wasted that whole first bottle of 3 so if they take feedback I’d share that
Sooo where does No.0 fit in with that? It has to be on dry hair. So they’re saying, wash hair with No.4, skip No.5 if planning to use No.8. Dry your clean hair to then use No.0 followed by No.3 as that one has to be on damp hair 🤯 I’ve been using their whole range for 3-4 weeks now. I was having CRAZY amounts of breakage and noticed in my 2nd week my hair felt thicker and stronger, and noticed this last week I have next to no breakage when brushing my hair (I am seriously overdue a haircut too though!) If anyone’s interested, my routine is as follows (I keep the products on ONLY for the time specified on their bottles), Start with dry hair. Use No.0. Use No.3 on top without washing first. Use their shampoo TWICE. Rinse thoroughly before using the conditioner. Rinse thoroughly again. Use No.8. When that’s washed off I use my Aquis towel to get excess water out before adding No.6 with a few drops of their oil. Additional tips I’ve added in this time thanks to Abbey are: 1. Water filter in my shower because I have VERY hard water in my area. 2. Use and Aquis turban. 3. Use a tangle teaser wet brush. 4. Try washing less. I usually wash every 5-7 days
Please that would be a great video! I was wondering how to use the olaplex 0. I used the #3. And I want to add the 0 and 8 to my routine. Would be great if you make a video of how to use the system.
I start with n0 (wait 10 min aprox), next n3 (leave it for around 2 hours) then n4 and n5 (once a week I replace n5 with n8). Finally I always finish with n6 and n7 ❤️
@@clarac9296 I don’t use 4/5, but I use 8 as a hair mask in between shampooing and conditioning so the conditioner and cold water lock in the moisture! I just replaced the Ouai Hair Mask with Olaplex 8 and I’m obsessed
Great review as always! Well done. I did put it on my list not long after first watch this review. I already use the 3, 6,7. I like it for the strength but like less for visible results. K18 on the other hand. I bleached my naturally curly hair a year and a bit ago. tried a ton of products along with olaplaex trio, but it wasn't until I recently got the k18 and my girls are better than ever. Bounce, shine, volume. Thrilled. I have gone without olaplaex for 1 month and no difference, but 3 months, huge difference so continued to use and will continue to use alternating with the k18. Pricewise, the same. You need a good mask with olaplaex, but no mask needed with k18. Tmrw I will be trying loaplex 8 mask. Excited. Have you tried the curl smith bond? Some (Manes by Mel) say its another version?
@@christinearters3769Yes, exactly. My first shampoo I use something else I like that cleans my hair really good. Such as Redken all soft or AG smooth. I have long bleached blonde hair and only wash it once a week so it might be why olaplex shampoo weren’t cutting it for me and I need that prewash before no 3?
I’m confused again. I thought you shampoo after using 3. It makes sense that you want to use it on clean hair, so if you shampoo and then put in 3, you only have to rinse, you don’t have to shampoo?
This is confusing that they told you to use number three after shampooing because it says to use before shampooing on the label. I have always used it before shampooing and have been underwhelmed, so maybe I will try after shampooing instead now.
As far as I know, you should shampoo your hair before Olaplex 3 if it’s quite dirty or with products buildup which would prevent it to “penetrate” your hair
Soooo... i purchased no 3,6, and 7 then 8 based on your recommendations to fix my hair issues and honestly I didn’t see big changes. I have bleached, dry, split ends and hair breakage. Then I saw you protein overload video and realized it’s what I have. So now I’m on no protein products hoping I can get rid of this soon. How long did it take you? And after that how long until you went back to leave in products or masks that contain protein??
I LOVE Olaplex 3, but I don't follow their directions. I apply to dry hair before shampooing. My hair is really healthy. I tried 0 but didn't really care for how my hair looked after using it. LOVE 3!!!
Thank u so much for making this very informative and helpful video I just picked up Olaplex #8 and watching this video am glad I bought it. Great content loved ur beautiful hair & smile blessings❤
Hey Abbey I had a question, So it is known that Olaplex No 0 is a primer for No 3. How then would you add it too this routine? Is it simply, shampoo, rinse, use No 0, Use No 3, rinse after 10min, then use No 8, rinse after 10min?
Thanks for making these videos because I love Olaplex and I always notice a difference when i use them on my hair. My daughter doesn;t like it for her hair she prefers 10
@@lupecastillo1066 amino acids are the building blocks of protein. They are extremely small molecules so you may not have an issue with them, but if you are completely avoiding any protein you will probably want to avoid them.
Protein sensitivity girl here!🙋🏼♀️ I've used Olaplex 3 for the recommended amount of time (I shampoo then apply for 10mins then shampoo again followed by deep condition) and it's turned out great. However, I applied it overnight before after being told it was okay to do & my hair broke off. I had a mullet for months 😩 I've since seen many complaints of similar stories. Too much of #3 for too long is no good for people with our hair type but it's awesome when used correctly.
Holy Moly! I just tried the 8 for the first time - paired with 0 and 3 and I'm 💯 blown away! My hair is dry and I live in a super dry climate.. #gamechanger
Thank you for this video! Very helpful. I’ve been using number 3 for years and not on clean hair eeepp, so I’m going to try that now. I just brought 8 and 5. I also topped up on my usual purchase of 3. I only wash my hair once a week and tend to use number3 and a hair treatment once a week. Should I use the number 5 or spend my pennies on something else? Xx
Love Aveda too! I have fine, color treated hair & bought the Olaplex no7 oil but I'm returning it without even trying it out. I instead repurchased my favorite Aveda dry remedy oil (I'd like to try their Replenish oil too) . When I saw Olaplex oil's FIRST ingredient is Dimethicone I know it might feel great at first but it eventually causes damage to my hair. It tends to coat my hair & cause it to dry out & sometimes even break. Not sure what your hair type is but I thought I'd share.
@@melanie.c25 Thanks so much! My hair is thick and coarse. I might try the Olaplex just to see - doubtful I'm willing to permanently give up the smell of my Aveda though. :)
@@DebbieHerbert I would definitely give it a go with your hair type. I've read the oil works best when mixed with the no6 bond smoother & applied together. If you buy from Nordstrom it's easy to return if they don't work for you. Maybe you could still apply a little Aveda for the smell! 😉
I've used hair masks in the past that you use a heat hood with. It's nowhere near as hot as an hairdryer or other heat styling tools, but I was wondering if heat will make #8 more effective, since it is a mask?
Just took a long bath this morning with both of these products. I’m literally obsessed. I got a sample of the no. 8 from Sephora, so I’ve been doing this regimen for 3 weeks and my dry brittle hair is already sooo much more healthy. I’ll never stray. 😂
Love your Olaplex videos! You do an excellent and thorough job explaining everything. Also... i LOVE your lipstick color! Would you please share what brand/shade it is? Thank you!
I purchased the #3 and #6 from eBay and I think it is counterfeit. Any way to tell? The #3 smells different and I hadn't tried the #6 yet. Thought I was saving $20 but it looks like I wasted $40. Beware! :)
If you’re buying it at half the price off of eBay (or anywhere), it’s always going to be either counterfeit or expired/spoiled. You’d think by now people would be smarter about this kind of thing 🤷♀️
there should be a code you can scan on the back to check if its authentic! i only purchase directly from sephora to be safe.. cant trust anyone these days even Walmart sells counterfeit olaplex. olaplex outted Walmart publically for selling knock offs, whats worse is Walmart sells it for full price... I don't trust amazon either, 80 percent of the reviews are people complaining they are knock offs... if you want to make sure its authentic only purchase from sephora or olaplex directly..i know its expensive but at least you know exactly what you are getting... i like to wait until there is a sale on.
Just love your hair reviews especially. You spell everything out. Very informative. I have been using Olaplex3 for quite awhile. I just started incorporating 0 with it and do like that. I just used the 8 mask today but no 0 and 3 before. I used the 4 shampoo and just 8 for 10 min. It was really nice and definitely feels like an Olaplex product on my hair. Very smooth and hydrated. I also used a minimal amount of Pureology Fanatic and then # 7 oil. I think it’s a winner.❤️
Do you use purple shampoo? I don't use purple shampoo as my main shampoo so what I do is wash my hair with purple shampoo the night before an actual wash (1-2x a week). Where would this fit in? Should I purple shampoo then No.3, then No. 8 the night before a wash? Or would No. 8 go after my morning shampoo? I am so confused :)
I have been facing immense hair fall since start of using olaplex range. I am not sure why this is for me as the reviews are so wildly positive. Anybody else facing the same issue ?
Dimethcone is also a bad silicone, I’m so confused please help all of these products have silicone that builds up on the hair and cause breakage and dry hair. I’m so upset I just don’t know how to fix my damaged, frizzy fine hair anymore. I was looking into olaplex and ended up getting joico defy damage line. And they also have silicone 😩😩😫😫😫 please help maybe you can do a video on these silicones my hair gets greasy at the roots and frizzy mid shaft to ends I give up every hair product I own has silicone and most have multiple in each 😱
So silicone is the 2nd after water on the inc list of Olaplex 8. wow. no thank you. I love number 3 and I have the impression that it works as long as the hair is moist. I sometimes wash hair, then apply no 3 and put plastic bag on my head and sleep in it. SO can someone tell me does this really stop working after 45 minutes?!!
Please compare the Olaplex treatment to the Elizavecca Cer-100 Collagen Ceramide Coating Protein Treatment as I’ve heard it’s a dupe for less than $15!
I got the mask and do like it. Prefer the Pureology hair mask in the purple tube. I do LOVE the Olaplex bond/oil combo though. My hair feels so soft when using it!
What’s the difference in this than the redken acidic shampoo and conditioner? I noticed you use that too in other videos?I hearing your need a mask if you use no3 or redken one because it will make it drier?
Abbey. You are literally going to make me go broke! 🤣 now I feel like I need BOTH. Also, what are your recs for exfoliation/cleansing in the bikini area? I’m at a loss for that lately
Can you do a video about lamellar water? Its a new-patent-pending technology by the L'Oréal group. I tried it yesterday in the Elvive 8 sec Wonder Water and it's truly something else!!!
I still don't understand 0 - my hair is very short but so damaged and 1/3 of the bottle hardly made my hair damp, so I don't get if you should put 0 on, then 3 or shampoo and put 3 on towel-dried hair
I have two questions. How are you reaching olaplex, email or phone? Also I wanted to know if number 1 comes in a larger size like #2 (#2 largest size 2000ml).
Love that you reach out to the company to see what they recommend!
Today I rinsed my hair. Used 3, shampooed with 4, used the mask 8 and rinsed. 6 and 7 to style no other products and my coarse thick curly hair was butter soft and easy to detangle. I absolutely LOVE 8 and will used again.
Do you use conditioner after no8?
You’re supposed to use number three on clean hair
Abbey said shampoo, #3, rinse #8, rinse so do I not have to shampoo after 3?

Pricewise, the same. You need a good mask with olaplaex, but no mask needed with k18. Tmrw I will be trying loaplex 8 mask. Excited. Have you tried the curl smith bond? Some (Manes by Mel) say its another version?
Can you do a new video now on how you would use all 8 products like a weekly routine
I’m glad you mentioned no3 works better on clean hair. I noticed that on my hair too and have been doing that about a year now.
So you shampoo before and after then condition?
@@christinearters3769Yes, exactly. My first shampoo I use something else I like that cleans my hair really good. Such as Redken all soft or AG smooth. I have long bleached blonde hair and only wash it once a week so it might be why olaplex shampoo weren’t cutting it for me and I need that prewash before no 3?
I so appreciate that you contact Olaplex directly for us!!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you for doing this video. A Saphora employee said she is a hair stylists. She told me they are pretty much the same. I did not believe her.
Thank you! I appreciate you for always looking after us 😊
I’m confused again. I thought you shampoo after using 3. It makes sense that you want to use it on clean hair, so if you shampoo and then put in 3, you only have to rinse, you don’t have to shampoo?
right!
OMG I was using 3 as a condition. I used the 8 once with the 0 and 3 first. OMG, the body in my fine hair.
This is confusing that they told you to use number three after shampooing because it says to use before shampooing on the label. I have always used it before shampooing and have been underwhelmed, so maybe I will try after shampooing instead now.
As far as I know, you should shampoo your hair before Olaplex 3 if it’s quite dirty or with products buildup which would prevent it to “penetrate” your hair
Where does Olaplex 0 come in to play? ’ve used them all and just bought 8.
It does get confusing, but once you do it a time or 2 you don't even think about it. Olaplex sure did turn my hair around! I'm FOREVER grateful
I also use a teeny bit of number 8 on dry hair. Works great at smoothing.
thank you so much!! you truly went above and beyond, Abbey. Thanks for taking the time to reach out to Olaplex' team! wow!
How to use 3 bcz v will have styling products on in hair.i think shud pre shampoo use and shampoo again
Soooo... i purchased no 3,6, and 7 then 8 based on your recommendations to fix my hair issues and honestly I didn’t see big changes. I have bleached, dry, split ends and hair breakage. Then I saw you protein overload video and realized it’s what I have. So now I’m on no protein products hoping I can get rid of this soon. How long did it take you? And after that how long until you went back to leave in products or masks that contain protein??
Can you use a steamer or use a hooded dryer to deep condition with heat while using #8?
Just got a bottle of n3, i have dry ends and breakage from heat damage. Will update with my results
I LOVE Olaplex 3, but I don't follow their directions. I apply to dry hair before shampooing. My hair is really healthy. I tried 0 but didn't really care for how my hair looked after using it. LOVE 3!!!
0 prepares the hair for 3.
Apply 3 to clean, damp hair.
Thank u so much for making this very informative and helpful video I just picked up Olaplex #8 and watching this video am glad I bought it. Great content loved ur beautiful hair & smile blessings❤
This video is super helpful. These are all the questions I had about these two. Liked and subscribed. Thank you!
Hey Abbey I had a question,
So it is known that Olaplex No 0 is a primer for No 3. How then would you add it too this routine?
Is it simply, shampoo, rinse, use No 0, Use No 3, rinse after 10min, then use No 8, rinse after 10min?
So does olaplex nr3 actually repair the hair whereas Nr8 is just a deep conditioner?
Love these types of videos! Could you do a video on Lamellar water...Loreal vs Redken 🥰
I'll add to my list!
I ordered n. 3 and n. 6 and I CAN’T WAIT to try them😍 n. 8 will certainly be the next🙏🏻
What about olaplex 0?! Where does that come into the routine.. this line is so confusing with the numbers.
Thanks for making these videos because I love Olaplex and I always notice a difference when i use them on my hair. My daughter doesn;t like it for her hair she prefers 10
Does olaplex have protein? As far as # 3 or # 8 Which one will be best if you’re trying to avoid protein overload ?
3 has no protein. 8 has amino acids.
Thank you!! So Is amino acids consider a protein?
@@lupecastillo1066 amino acids are the building blocks of protein. They are extremely small molecules so you may not have an issue with them, but if you are completely avoiding any protein you will probably want to avoid them.
Thank you! I will Definitely stick to number 3. 😊
Protein sensitivity girl here!🙋🏼♀️ I've used Olaplex 3 for the recommended amount of time (I shampoo then apply for 10mins then shampoo again followed by deep condition) and it's turned out great. However, I applied it overnight before after being told it was okay to do & my hair broke off. I had a mullet for months 😩 I've since seen many complaints of similar stories. Too much of #3 for too long is no good for people with our hair type but it's awesome when used correctly.
Holy Moly! I just tried the 8 for the first time - paired with 0 and 3 and I'm 💯 blown away! My hair is dry and I live in a super dry climate.. #gamechanger
Thank you for this video! Very helpful. I’ve been using number 3 for years and not on clean hair eeepp, so I’m going to try that now. I just brought 8 and 5. I also topped up on my usual purchase of 3. I only wash my hair once a week and tend to use number3 and a hair treatment once a week. Should I use the number 5 or spend my pennies on something else? Xx
Do you think the Olaplex oil (no 7) is the best hair oil? I am a bit addicted to the smell of the Aveda hair oil.
Love Aveda too! I have fine, color treated hair & bought the Olaplex no7 oil but I'm returning it without even trying it out. I instead repurchased my favorite Aveda dry remedy oil (I'd like to try their Replenish oil too) . When I saw Olaplex oil's FIRST ingredient is Dimethicone I know it might feel great at first but it eventually causes damage to my hair. It tends to coat my hair & cause it to dry out & sometimes even break. Not sure what your hair type is but I thought I'd share.
@@melanie.c25 Thanks so much! My hair is thick and coarse. I might try the Olaplex just to see - doubtful I'm willing to permanently give up the smell of my Aveda though. :)
@@DebbieHerbert I would definitely give it a go with your hair type. I've read the oil works best when mixed with the no6 bond smoother & applied together. If you buy from Nordstrom it's easy to return if they don't work for you. Maybe you could still apply a little Aveda for the smell! 😉
@@melanie.c25 Perfect - I love to dabble in mixing stuff together. :)
Hi! What mineral sunscreen do u recommend for poc? A good one ? Lightweight? And doesn’t leave much of a cast? 🤍
I've used hair masks in the past that you use a heat hood with. It's nowhere near as hot as an hairdryer or other heat styling tools, but I was wondering if heat will make #8 more effective, since it is a mask?
Just took a long bath this morning with both of these products. I’m literally obsessed. I got a sample of the no. 8 from Sephora, so I’ve been doing this regimen for 3 weeks and my dry brittle hair is already sooo much more healthy. I’ll never stray. 😂
Love your Olaplex videos! You do an excellent and thorough job explaining everything. Also... i LOVE your lipstick color! Would you please share what brand/shade it is? Thank you!
after i rinse out olaplex no. 3 do i use hair conditioner or no? then after olaplex no. 8?
I purchased the #3 and #6 from eBay and I think it is counterfeit. Any way to tell? The #3 smells different and I hadn't tried the #6 yet. Thought I was saving $20 but it looks like I wasted $40. Beware! :)
If you’re buying it at half the price off of eBay (or anywhere), it’s always going to be either counterfeit or expired/spoiled. You’d think by now people would be smarter about this kind of thing 🤷♀️
@@wearelegion1163 Still stupid. 🤔
there should be a code you can scan on the back to check if its authentic! i only purchase directly from sephora to be safe.. cant trust anyone these days even Walmart sells counterfeit olaplex. olaplex outted Walmart publically for selling knock offs, whats worse is Walmart sells it for full price... I don't trust amazon either, 80 percent of the reviews are people complaining they are knock offs... if you want to make sure its authentic only purchase from sephora or olaplex directly..i know its expensive but at least you know exactly what you are getting... i like to wait until there is a sale on.
Just love your hair reviews especially. You spell everything out. Very informative. I have been using Olaplex3 for quite awhile. I just started incorporating 0 with it and do like that. I just used the 8 mask today but no 0 and 3 before. I used the 4 shampoo and just 8 for 10 min. It was really nice and definitely feels like an Olaplex product on my hair. Very smooth and hydrated. I also used a minimal amount of Pureology Fanatic and then # 7 oil. I think it’s a winner.❤️
I'm so glad to hear that!
The Bis-Amioproply is a silicone and I believe it is a non water soluble
Do you use purple shampoo? I don't use purple shampoo as my main shampoo so what I do is wash my hair with purple shampoo the night before an actual wash (1-2x a week). Where would this fit in? Should I purple shampoo then No.3, then No. 8 the night before a wash? Or would No. 8 go after my morning shampoo? I am so confused :)
If you can only afford to buy the 3 or the 8. Which one would you buy ?
I think it depends on what your hair need at the moment
Very informative 🤩 thank you help answering loads of questions
You are the one to watch! Great job, everything so clear an concise!!! thank you!!!
Love your videos abbey! You’ve helped my hair journey so much, been loving pureology and olaplex.
Have you ever tried Bondi Boost?
I have been facing immense hair fall since start of using olaplex range. I am not sure why this is for me as the reviews are so wildly positive. Anybody else facing the same issue ?
Me too! Stopped using IT😩
it’s because of the pH of the shampoo it’s too high.
How frequently can you use olaplex3 and olaplex 8?
Dimethcone is also a bad silicone, I’m so confused please help all of these products have silicone that builds up on the hair and cause breakage and dry hair. I’m so upset I just don’t know how to fix my damaged, frizzy fine hair anymore. I was looking into olaplex and ended up getting joico defy damage line. And they also have silicone 😩😩😫😫😫 please help maybe you can do a video on these silicones my hair gets greasy at the roots and frizzy mid shaft to ends I give up every hair product I own has silicone and most have multiple in each 😱
. If I wanted to buy just one which would you recommend?
Thanks helped alot,my hairdresser said to use it just like you explained however use conditioner after the no 8 to seal.it in
I use No 3 and had NO IDEA it had to be rinsed! 😳 I've used it like a leave-in conditioner.
It's definitely a confusing product! I used to use it wrong too
Get/Use #6 as a leave in.
This was INCREDIBLY helpful! These were my exact questions! Thank you ☺️
So silicone is the 2nd after water on the inc list of Olaplex 8. wow. no thank you. I love number 3 and I have the impression that it works as long as the hair is moist. I sometimes wash hair, then apply no 3 and put plastic bag on my head and sleep in it. SO can someone tell me does this really stop working after 45 minutes?!!
i think as long as your hair remains moist n3 continues to work
You said that they work best with clean hair. For the number 3. You wash with shampoo then apply number 3 then shampoo again and condition?
So does No 8 replace No 5? Using No 5 in between shampoos for the week?
Does Olaplex have protein in the formula? What is pH?
Can you leave numbers 3 and 0 on overnight or for a few hours? will that work better or no different? Thanks x
Not recommended to leave on overnight. It stops working after 45min to a few hours
I'm kind of confused because on the olaplex website it says to shampoo after No. 3 but in your video it simply says to rinse it. Which is correct?
Please compare the Olaplex treatment to the Elizavecca Cer-100 Collagen Ceramide Coating Protein Treatment as I’ve heard it’s a dupe for less than $15!
ohhh I need to try that out!
I would like to know if you can use #8 with a microwave heat cap for the 10 minutes?
Very informative!! Thanks! And your hair is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! Can’t stop looking at it 😍🙏🏻
I got the mask and do like it. Prefer the Pureology hair mask in the purple tube. I do LOVE the Olaplex bond/oil combo though. My hair feels so soft when using it!
Love the pureology mask!!!
What’s the difference in this than the redken acidic shampoo and conditioner? I noticed you use that too in other videos?I hearing your need a mask if you use no3 or redken one because it will make it drier?
So it’s ok to just rinse out #3? Don’t you need to shampoo it out?
Abbey. You are literally going to make me go broke! 🤣 now I feel like I need BOTH. Also, what are your recs for exfoliation/cleansing in the bikini area? I’m at a loss for that lately
Would love to see you do a video trying out/talking about olaplex dupes!
Do you need to put in a leave in conditioner after you finish with the 3 and 8 before styling?
Can you do a video about lamellar water? Its a new-patent-pending technology by the L'Oréal group. I tried it yesterday in the Elvive 8 sec Wonder Water and it's truly something else!!!
I still don't understand 0 - my hair is very short but so damaged and 1/3 of the bottle hardly made my hair damp, so I don't get if you should put 0 on, then 3 or shampoo and put 3 on towel-dried hair
Great video, thank you for posting! Love your make up too. What lipstick are you wearing? ☺️
I have two questions. How are you reaching olaplex, email or phone? Also I wanted to know if number 1 comes in a larger size like #2 (#2 largest size 2000ml).
