Thank you for this informative video! I’ve been using olaplex for almost a year now and my natural hair is the healthiest it’s ever been in the 6 years I’ve been natural. I decided to give it a try as my last resort before I was going to cut all my hair off because it was so damaged and falling out in chucks!! Now it’s a lot thicker and stronger, less breakage and I’m sooo happy!! I bought the whole line and sticking to it.

Thanks for this. My hair does good with Olaplex 1 and 2 at the salon. Have used 0 and 3 and don't recall any big difference. Bought 3 again recently to use on a section of my hair that seems damaged. Now, that you say 8 is better, I am returning it and getting 8! I can use some moisture as the damaged hair seems a little dry.
Thank you for this informative video. My stylist suggested no 3 for my natural hair that is not damaged. My hair is fine. I was skeptical but now understand the science. She believes an olaplex treatment can last 6 weeks with no 3 at home maintenance but it appears no O makes more sense.
Thanks soo much. You are soo informative. I watched your part 1 and 2 about porosity hair.

Excellent overview of Olaplex
I currently use the number 1,3,6,8 and the serum ooh the oil as well. I love the deep mask #8. Can’t live without that one. I blow dry once every two to three weeks and no breakage. I also include with my #8 the Mizani deep condition. My hair has been thriving

Thanks so much for this brilliant video - super informative! I often use a steamer when using conditioners/treatments on my hair and experience much better results. I wondered, can you apply 0 and 3 and then steam? Do you think that would interfere with the BADD/chemical process in a negative way? Thanks 💗
whew...I'm glad to hear the positives becasue I just spent$$$ on the oleplex system for my color treated hair. Should we implement the ACV over no.8 moister mask?
Thank you for this message.
I straighten my hair about 4 times a year and I use 0 and 3 before and after. My kinky coily hair has done well with it. Now I use it once a month without any issues. Love it. Thinking about adding #8 because I need a good mask. Thanks for the awesome video.
I used 9 as a leave in under a foam and that was a pretty bomb wash and go :). I got the whole system for my birthday and it's been great I love it.

Under U.S. law, cosmetic products and ingredients do not need FDA approval before they go on the market. The one exception is color additives (other than coloring materials used in coal-tar hair dyes), which must be approved for their intended use. Btw doll do they show how much percentage is in their products?

Washing once a week ... Every week 🥴 Try washing less. That's probably why it feels dry! That's wayyy too much washing for your hair. You're washing the natural oils out washing that often. Don't mess with your hair too too much . Plus I'm sure you have no filter on your shower when you wash. All those metals and chemicals in our water (hard water) breaks it terribly !! And you're washing every week 😬 Get a filter. Can't have clean hair .. washing it with dirty water . (Shower Filter on Amazon for sink and shower 💯) 👍🏽 and you can't have moisturized hair washing it that often 💯 = prone to breakage

What is your opinion on the recent lawsuits against olaplex saying its totally wrecked thousands of peoples hair? I'm in a group with 5.8 K ppl whose hair and been broken, fried, snapped at the root, thinned excessive shedding and the only products they've used are olaplex. Some the whole range others just 0 or 3 or 4 and 5 and have followed the directions to the letter. Some of the ladies have only had the in salon treatments. The pictures and stories are heartbreaking and there's no doubt its been olaplex that's done the damage. What is your take on that as someone who really knows their stuff?

An ingredient that accounts for less that 1% of the formulation AND has barely any evidence for infertility is not worth the outrage, same with the Honey Pot outrage it was all for nothing😭 let’s make the outrage count!
