What is it and what is it for?<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few sentences on the <strong>Olaplex<\/strong>procedure that I promised earlier.<\/p>\n<p>For the sake of clarity and simplicity, I will avoid using technical language and do my best to explain everything in plain English.<\/p>\n<p>1. One might choose from Olaplex 1, 2, or 3.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n2. <strong>The Olaplex treatment<\/strong> consists of two parts, <strong>phases 1<\/strong> and <strong> 2<\/strong> which are applied in the salon. The duration of the procedure ranges from 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the severity of the damage. Any less than that, and its full potential will not be realized. Only the <strong>Olaplex therapy<\/strong> can reach the hair&#8217;s cortex and repair (rebind) broken <strong>disulfide bonds<\/strong>. Dyeing, blow drying, ironing, etc. all result in the breaking of disulfide bonds. When dyeing hair, an <strong>Olaplex treatment<\/strong> is also utilized as a pre-treatment. In order to prepare your hair for dyeing, you can lighten your current colour by completing one <strong>Olaplex treatment<\/strong> if your hair is already damaged. When the client takes the time to prepare the hair for colouring, we achieve excellent results. <strong>The difference is obvious.<\/strong><br \/>\nIn addition, once a month is all we suggest for the <strong>Olaplex treatment<\/strong> for relatively damaged hair. Two or three treatments spread out over the course of a month may be required if your hair is <strong>severely<\/strong> damaged. Extremely damaged and dry hair responds best to a combination of <strong>Olaplex and hydration treatment<\/strong> (which I will elaborate on in a future post). It&#8217;s been mentioned to me on a few occasions that some women report feeling \u201cspiky\u201d or \u201cuncooperative\u201d after receiving an <strong>Olaplex treatment<\/strong>; this is a <strong>positive sign that the therapy is effective<\/strong>. When disulfide bonds are joined, the hair becomes unmanageable and dry; as a result, it requires a hydrating treatment that will restore its natural state.<br \/>\n3. Olaplex is not a hair dye.<br \/>\n4. You can&#8217;t use Olaplex 3 (home care) to repair your hair; it&#8217;s only for colour maintenance. (Number 3 is a waste of money; invest in high-quality packaging instead)<br \/>\n5. Olaplex has an important role in maintaining your colour. Women who routinely use <strong>Olaplex<\/strong> to preserve their dyed hair colour never have to worry about it fading too quickly.<br \/>\n6.
