I like Olaplex but K18 has blown my mind. Whilst it hasn't made my chemically treated hair feel like virgin hair, it feels exponentially healthier than it did before. It makes my hair wash days so easy too. Your hair does actually need to be damaged to actually get something out of K18.

I completely agree! I hate to disagree with Chris. But I used Olaplex for over a year and it’s good. But I bit the bullet and got the K18… and there is no comparison!! K18 blows Olaplex out of the water. I don’t buy Olaplex anymore. It’s truly unbelievable the results you get with K18… they didn’t like K18 bc how it felt on the hair. Tells me they used too much. Too many pumps. I have hair down to my waist and K 18 has made my hair so manageable. It use to take me up an 1hr to detangle my hair even using Olaplex. K18 and I’m like who’s hair is this. It’s insane. I use two pumps on each side of K18 for my waist long hair. Let it set for 4 mins and then I wet my hair again and use conditioner.

I think not using conditioner afterwards is what people don’t like about K18. Longs story short after seeing feedback from K18, it is actually safe to use conditioner or a mask after waiting the 4 minutes, and that makes a world of difference. K18 is superior for sure.

K18 felt nice on my hair for the first few tries, but then it started to feel weird and more dried out. I stopped using it and now i do once a month and it’s fine, but not the best for me

He is totally right on new Olaplex products. Olaplex was bought by private equity and that’s when they expanded the product range to increase the ARPU (average revenue per person) but the founding products i.e. No. 3 is the only really innovative product made by the original CEO and team

As someone who hates wash day, K18 was a game changer for me. I no longer despise washing my hair. I'm in the shower for so much less time and my hair is so much less damaged without having to leave treatments in my hair for ages and then jump back in the shower to rinse it out. If you like low maintenance products, K18 every single time.

If you have curls I recommend adding gel and heat protectant for your hair type if you diffuse. If you still need more definition I recommend the Redken Curvaceous Ringlet layered under gel and always finish with your oil after diffusing. It’s super lightweight and they have another one called Redken Curvaceous Curl Refiner found on Ulta. I personally don’t like their Full Swirl product, its a bit dryer.

Same feelings here. I’ve tried all three products- olaplex for at a year, redken acidic bonding concentrate for 3 months and k18 for 5 months. K-18 was the second one I tried and gave me the best results. I went back to it after trying redken. It took me a while to figure out the best way to comb out my very wavy/semi curly hair without using conditioner first but I just go very slowly with a wide tooth comb. I’m so glad I stuck with it. I love it. Olaplex was just okay but I used it for so long because that was the only repair product I knew about back then. redken was okay as well, just not as good as k-18.

I have been using k18 for over a year and it did much more for my hair than olaplex 3 😅 but K18 has now said that AS LONG AS YOU WAIT THE 4 MINUTES for it to process, you CAN use a conditioner. So I use the k18 mask, wait the 4 minutes and then apply my deep conditioning hair mask over it, wait 10 minutes, and rinse. And it still works (per the company). I feel like your stylists probably didn’t like the feeling of it because they went without conditioner- god knows I CANT skip conditioning!!!! ♥️ but I wouldn’t swear it off- K18 truly has benefited my hair, and I used Olaplex 3 for 1 year prior.

K18 made a massive difference for me and I was using olaplex regularly. I think k18 steers you wrong by telling you not to use a conditioner or leave in after the treatment time is up. Our hair is damaged, you still need to add moisture to your hair. No wonder people felt like k18 wasn’t working.

I have used all three in an attempt to repair my hair after excessive damage. For 14 months, I went through multiple bottles of 0, 3, shampoo and conditioner then 6 & 7. Then I used the Redken system and was very impressed on the first wash. I only used the K18 treatment twice, just being fair. Ultimately, I recommend the Redken system.

One the the best videos I’ve seen on YT. Thank you so much for your wonderful advice and detailed descriptions of the most effective products, saving us time and money.A game changer.

I used to use olaplex no 3 but have been absolutely astonished by the K18 repair mask. Now K18 is in my regular routine and I ditched olaplex completely, my hair has never been better.

K18 has saved my hair from damage after it got overprocessed from multiple types of treatments (the pandemic was a problem). I had to dilute the concentrate in water in a spray bottle to get it properly distributed throughout my hair. I find that now that my hair is in pretty good shape it doesn't seem to do as much but it makes tons of difference if I use it right after getting a perm. It also doesn't work if I don't use a clarifying shampoo(neutrogena not theirs). Olaplex seems to work best when my hair is basically healthy. The redken seems to work the same as other products with that same pH range. Each of the products has a different mechanism of action (disulfide bond repair, peptide chain replacement, ionic (pH) bond strengthening) so I alternate use and get really fabulous results. But I definitely notice variability in how a product works, some weeks are great others not and I don't really know why that is.

Thank you!! I’ve recently experienced hair damage and finding accurate info as well as figuring out which products work has been a major challenge. Super grateful I came across your channel xo.

Dear Chris, I've been following you and your advice for a while now and I've finally started to love my hair. I have been dependent on hairdressers for decades because only then was my hair neat and tidy. The comment was always "well, your hair is dry and there's nothing you can do about it". And then when I found you, things changed drastically. You explain everything so well and give concrete advice that now I can do my hair at home myself and make my hair neat and beautiful. It also stopped growing, that is, it was tearing at a certain length, which is no longer the case, thanks to you. I just wanted to thank you because you have done more for my hair than anyone so far, and that only with your selfless advice, knowledge and experience. A big thank you!

The Redken ABC is amazing! Thank you for the recommendation! I’m about 8 weeks in and my hair hasn’t looked this good in years. I was in the salon yesterday, stylist was amazed at the difference. She said “keep doing whatever you’re doing because it’s working”. Please keep the fun and informative coming.

The best and most sincere recommendation I have ever seen, the world needs more stylists like you, thank you very much.

Love the K18 - it totally saved my hair after a bad bleach job. Maybe I'm using it wrong? I shampoo then towel dry my hair, add 4 pumps of product to my mid length hair and comb it through. Then I put on a shower cap to keep it from getting wet. After 4 minutes I take off the shower cap, put on the Redken dark purple conditioner and comb it through. Shower cap goes back on for 5 to 10 minutes depending on what else I have left to do. Rinse my hair off, out of shower, and put a t shirt on my hair to dry it and my hair turns out gorgeous - like strangers compliment me on it.

I was so confused between these products. Thank you for making it simple and being honest. You’re hilarious😂your videos are so entertaining!

Professor, thank you so much. I moved from a totally differently damaging Siberia to Florida. Also moving to the US made it affordable for me to buy all these products. With your explanations I achieved perfect results. Then overdid with sun and pool and here again to choose a product to support hair again.

Thank you!!! I stumbled across your channel recently and binge-watched, then bought the recommended products and my hair has never felt better! I'm in my forties and I have hormone issues and iron issues and at one point in my late 30s I actually kept my head shaved for a few years, but now I'm confident that I can get my long hair back! ❤❤❤ps and yes I use this Redken product 🎉

I have dry, coarse afro hair, and prefer k18 as it saves me time (I’m super lazy). I just use a leave in afterwards, it took about 4 washes to really notice the difference. I can’t get the redken but have used the elvive equivalent which was good but for me more effort. Since stumbling across your channel I have been able to simplify my routine and my hair is shedding less, less split ends, detangling is practically non existent and it’s waayy more softer

So glad I came across this bc I was legit going down a rabbit hole. I don't color, perm, or really even blow dry or curl my hair but it's just lost luster. I used to just wash and air dry my hair to straight perfection and now it's stringy looking. Thank you for the advise.

Just brilliant advice! So clear and concise. Will be getting everything for my fine hair,as you are the only person,I have heard who actually understands how one should proceed if your fine hair is so so different to all the people you know,who have long luxurious locks. So happy to have found you on you tube. Thank you so much.

I watched this video then ran and bought the Redken treatment. Just used it, and wow! You can seriously tell an immediate difference after using it. My hair was starting to look slightly damaged where I got my highlights a while back and now it’s super smooth and shiny. No trace of damage. Thank you, Chris!

Loved this video! I’m currently using K18 only I use it a little differently. After it sits on my hair for the 4 minutes the brand says to, I re-wet my hair and condition. I did my research and the brand says as long as it is on your hair for the full four minutes it’s already penetrated your hair and you can rinse your hair and add conditioner. My hair feels SO much better after only three treatments.

In general I’m have been applying you methods of combing washing coloring and hydrating my hair and i can see my hair getting better every day i very much appreciate your charisma and very insightful information and tips your definitely my number 1 I’m in Europe but when I go to the states I would love to go to your salon!!!

I just bought olaplex 0 & 3, so i'm super excited to try it, but I've been using k18 for 6 months and my dry colour-treated waist-length hair feels soo much healthier, I don't think I'll ever give it up because of how simple it is. I just double-shampoo and hop out of the shower before dispersing 3 pumps thru all my hair. Quickest, easiest, most transformative hair product ever. I scored a sample of the redkin though so I'm excited to try that too.

Chris I am a groupie and your advice has helped my hair sooo much. I found K18 is the best product for my hair, after using Olaplex and Redken acidic bonders. I have coarse, curly, shoulder lengthed hair and color it every 3-4 weeks. Perhaps it’s my hair type but you need to test it and add to your repertoire. Cathy

You saved my life with your videos, my hair is shoulders length and was about to give up, it is very thick, frizzy and crazy and hard to maintain, been watching your videos for the last month, followed your steps and now my hair is crazy amazing I go for a week without washing and styling and looks amazing, it look fresh and light every day, people keep telling me how amazing my hair is, thank you so much

I re-visited it a few years later by clarifying my hair, using LESS product (biggest change!) and it completely changed my mind and transformed my hair.

Thank you for this video. I bought the redken months ago and just used it this past weekend for the first time. My hair is extremely damaged and chunks of hair rip off each time I shower or brush my hair (Im surprised I’m not bald yet). I did wash it first but now I know I can wash it after leaving it in. Which makes it easier than sitting in the shower with it. Yes I did that. I’ve been using your recommended products from your quiz as well. Just the video I needed! 👍 I wanted to add that my hair felt SO soft after using the redken repair treatment once. I cannot believe I waited so long to use it. Also, I have the redken white bottle conditioner from a while ago, I’ve been using the pink bottle shampoo and conditioner but my hair never felt healthy, and while traveling I took the white bottle left over conditioner and my hair did feel much softer with than one over the volume pink bottle. With damaged hair I’d say the white bottle conditioner is better even if it doesn’t actually repair. At least that’s the case for my thin damaged hair.

Love your videos and your honesty. Thanks for testing out products for us! 👏👏

Hairstylist here! Thank you so much for this. I use olaplex in my salon. I carry some of their products… the 3, 6, 9, and the oil… ha… I agree with you on you throughts on their product line! 😂. I tried the k18 salon system, as a trial on MY OWN HAIR, I had been using the olaplex system in my own coloring services, and I had half of my hair break off when using the K18 color bonding system. Never again. I also just received the Redken acidic bonding treatment, and gave it to a client to try on their own hair… and they LOVE IT! Good info! Thanks so much for your work.

I really loved K18. Whereas I thought olaplex was just ok. I can't believe others don't love K18. Made a huge difference to my hair immediately.

Where have you been all my life? So glad I found your channel! Immediately subscribed. Thank you!

Hi Chris! I just used the Redken one because of your recommendation, and it worked great! It was really easy to use. I was a little worried after all you are “just another KZreadr”, but your advise actually worked, so THANK YOU SO MUCH! After one use I noticed a significant difference! Thank you again❤

*Yes!* ☺️ I‘m always looking forward to watch a new upload!

I saved a lot of money skipping the olaplex set! 😊

k18 is better used when doing intense hair colouring services vs take home. Travel size of the redken is only $12 at ulta if anyone is thinking of trying it out.

Came across your channel . Very thorough and to the point . Thank you

Thank you for this! I was struggling to find a good bonding treatment to test and thanks to you I just purchased the Redken. Look forward to the results.

Definitely prefer the redken bonding treatment over olaplex3 Can you make a video of how to tell damaged hair to healthy hair like what to look for?

Redken Bonding Treatment was the one that helped my hair the least! I had to give it away, and I really gave it a try over months. My favourite is the K18!

Great advice as usual here! Thank you! Your recommendation about leave in conditioner and how to actually wash my scalp have transformed my hair. Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Thank you so much! I just added a few OLAPLEX products to my basket but after your video I will only buy #3 because I got a brand new balayage and my hair is very damaged. Glad I didn't waste money on products that don't work :) Big fan of yours!

I use to think I knew a lot about hair UNTIL I watched this channel (stylist back in the 90s)! Excellent truthful information and I LOVE that you are NOT trying to sell products that are Inferior or that you need the ENTIRE line to work! BROVO 👏💜

For anyone here with curly hair, olaplex 0, 3, 8 and 6 work especially well in repairing damaged curls and retaining moisture. I use 0,3 and 8 once to twice a month and the 6 once a week.

I've always hated my coarse curly hair and I've destroyed it by straightening it for 13 years. I've found this channel and I thought "well, let's try these advices. What can go wrong?", so I followed your advices and OH MY GOD!!! I don't even recognize my hair anymore! In just 3 weeks! A huuuuge thank you from me and my hair!!

I used K18 since last October, and i just love it! It got to the stage, wheb my hair does not look better, but I also mix my conditioners, and one of them is Redken Bonding Condinioner and also some Leave-In Stuff from IDHair. Makes hair look the BOMB❤

I took your hair quiz…and was soooo close to buying the redken shampoo and conditioner set but it just made more sense to buy the treatment. I am so happy with the results and I actually look forward to my weekly Monday treatment! I owe to all to you! Thank you 🙏

what shampoo and conditioner are you using in pair with the treatment?

I really like K18, as does my mom, but I cannot use it without using conditioner. My hair always feels amazing if I use K18 correctly, which is not how it says to use it on the bottle. The company has come out to say that you can use conditioner after as long as you wait 4 minutes for the product to sink in and work.

Your channel is amazing, truly. You two are also fun to watch!

You are honest and creative thank you 🙏🏼

I started using Olaplex a couple months ago based on your recommendation and I love it! It's the only thing that's helped my hair so far. I also started your trinity routine & my hair has been looking & behaving so much better.

DUDE!!! I was an OG subber, and you are almost at a half million now. DAYUM, SUPER PIOMP!!

This was sooooooo helpful. Thank you! 🙌

😮 No. 8 makes my dry, damaged, and incredible coarse hair all soft and healthy looking!!! Agreed with No 3 and 6.

You can use conditioner with K18. After shampooing your hair and drying with a towel, you then apply K18, you leave it on for 4 minutes as per advised, then you can add conditioner and leave it for 5-10 minutes and rinse! I actually contacted K18 and they advised me that once the 4 minutes are up, you can add whatever product you want.

As a bleach blonde with REALLY damaged hair, I just used Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate for the first time (literally blow drying my hair rn) and I am AMAZED at the difference after just one application! Thanks Chris!!! Curious to see the results after a few more applications, but for now I am completely impressed!

Hi @lazg9733; recommendation to buy. My hair has never been so soft and smooth to the touch. It's not a miracle, but I definitely see a difference after using it once a week for a few weeks. My hair is softer, smoother and looks almost shiny which is a big deal for my usual straw head...

@@yaddaguitar3636how does it compare to K18 or Olaplex? What is your hair type?

For a while now, I've also stopped bleaching and regrown my natural hair and was looking for best ways to care for them. I took your survey and have been using some of the recommended products (Redken shampoo&conditioner, acidic bonding concentrate, moroccan oil mask) + always do heat protectant and hair oil, and for the first time ever, I got complimented at the hairdresser several times about how healthy my hair looks and "to keep doing what I'm doing". Thank you for all this hair knowledge, it truly does help a lott!!

Thank you for being quick!!!

I like the K18 because its so simple to use. No waiting in the shower for 10 mins or having to get back in etc. I just cant make Olaplex easy to use! I may try the Redken next.

I lightly shampoo my hair over the tub (without getting in) first and then apply Olaplex while watching TV etc. Then just go shower and rise and wash as normal.

I've tried all 3. Had the best result with Olaplex - hair felt smooth and lighter. Also had good results with K18, but my hair felt heavier compared with Olaplex. Redken did absolutely nothing for even though I gave it a good try.
