What Is Olaplex Treatment?

Olaplex treatment is designed to restore compromised hair to help maintain overall hair health. The Olaplex treatment system works to stop and rebuild hair that has been damaged during a hair chemical process. Hair can be easily damaged after chemically bleaching or highlights, Olaplex works to rebuild and strengthen the hair to bring it back to its natural healthy condition.

Olaplex is a favourite for many colorists as they can maintain the optimum condition of their client’s hair during chemical treated colouring. Over time, chemically treated colouring can be destructive on the hair’s health and Olaplex is the saving grace to help maintain healthy hair that is stronger and shinier.  

How Does Olaplex Work?

Olaplex works inside the hair molecule to strengthen and repair the structure that has been previously compromised. During the colour process or standalone treatment, Olaplex aims to seek out damaged and broken bonds in the hair, and links them back together which allows hair to feel healthier, thicker, stronger, and fuller once the treatment is complete. 

The treatment can be the saviour your hair needs and consists of several parts that combine a salon treatment and home based treatment. Below is a breakdown of how the Olaplex treatment works, and the products available to purchase for the home based treatment.

Olaplex FAQ

When Should I Get The Olaplex Treatment?

The time to get the Olaplex treatment is if you think your hair may be damaged after years of bleaching, or maybe you wish to add extra strength to your hair with added shine. At the Lounge Hair Studio, Olaplex is also used while clients get their hair colored to help minimize damage to the hair.

What Is The Process Of The Olaplex In Salon Treatment?

At the Lounge Hair Studio, one of our hair specialists will saturate your hair with Olaplex #1 that is used to identify broken bonds in the hair. This process is designed to find the bonds and then build new connections in the hair. After a few minutes has passed, Olaplex #2 will be applied and layered on to the hair starting at the roots to the tips. Once 20 minutes has passed, the products will be rinsed off with shampoo and conditioner. 

How Do I Apply Olaplex At Home?

Olaplex #3 to #6 can be applied at home and are designed for ongoing protection to help maintain your hair’s health and strength. Olaplex #3 (Hair Perfector) is not a shampoo or conditioner and is not meant to be left in the hair for a long period of time.

Olaplex #3 should be applied to towel dry hair ,and left in for only 20 minutes before being rinsed out. The next step after Olaplex #3 is rinsed out is to apply the Olaplex Shampoo #4 and Olaplex Conditioner #5, followed by the Olaplex Bond Smoother #6.
