OLAPLEX No.6 Bond Smoother, 100ml

Product Information

Olaplex is world-famous for its almost magical abilities to repair extremely damaged hair caused by excessive colouring, bleaching and heat styling. In a 12-week clinical trial of 33 people using LASHBOND™ Building Serum, participants reported the following after four weeks: It does have heat protectant in it, but it isn’t rated for 450 degrees. So we find that Olaplex No.6 is ideal for protecting when blow drying.’ People found that they could now brush through it when it’s wet, instead of it being tangled, and their hair has stopped breaking off and has started growing at a faster rate due to the healthy condition that it’s now in. If you’re unsure about purchasing an Olaplex alternative, but aren’t sure that you want to fork out for the real thing, purchasing a gift set can be a good way to try Olaplex and see if it’s suitable for you before committing to a full bottle.

Discover how patented OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology™ works at a molecular level to dramatically improve hair strength, repair damage and protect all hair types. OLAPLEX rebuilds, restructures and improves moisture retention to curls that have lost their shape. OLAPLEX infuses curly hair with added moisture and condition for beautiful bouncy, resilient curls. Fragile curly hair has more lightening and chemical service options when OLAPLEX is used. Tip: It’s best to use this treatment 2-3 times a week, as using too much protein can actually harm your hair if it doesn’t need it, so best to use it after every other wash (depending on how often you wash your hair). We provide the results of our human repeat insult patch tests (HRIPT), which are the standard human clinical test used for personal care and pharmaceutical products and test for irritation and sensitization. The results of those tests can be found here. I’ve also found that it reduces the static in my hair when I wear a hat in the winter, as my hair no longer has any broken fly-aways and is a lot healthier, when I take off my wooly hat my hair is just as smooth as it was before I put the hat on! Pros:YES! Olaplex 6 has the Clean at Sephora stamp which means that there are none of the nasty fillers in Olaplex products. This is so important for your hair! Olaplex 6 is vegan, sulfate free, paraben free, gluten free, nut free, phosphate free and phthalte free.

Another salon favourite, this Extreme Treatment by Redken contains exclusive Interbond conditioning technology that delivers a unique 3D repair complex of proteins, Ceramides and Lipids that repairs and reinforces the hair cuticle, whilst protecting the hair from any future damage too. OLAPLEX will strengthen straight hair, improving manageability, movement and shine. The condition of the hair won’t be compromised using thermal styling options such as curling irons, hot rollers, etc. when the hair is treated prior with OLAPLEX. OLAPLEX products No. 4 and No. 6 contain minimal hydrolyzed vegetable protein, also known as peptides, at very low levels (0.0025% in No. 4 and 0.000625% in No. 6). Our other products do not contain any forms of protein. Peptides such as those in OLAPLEX’s No. 4 and No. 6 are chemically very different than standard proteins, and therefore do not weigh down hair. After reading this article, I hope that you’ve found what you’re looking for and can make an informed decision on how to repair your hair.Flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers all cause damage due to the high levels of heat being used.
