If you want, you can leave it for longer for better results. I reasoned that N✠ only came out years after N✣, and before that N✣ by itself was all the hype, so it alone was probably good enough for a first try.Īccording to the instructions, you should apply Olaplex N✣ on still wet, towel-dry hair and leave it on for at least 10 minutes. Olaplex recommends using N✣ after N✠, as if they were a two-part system, but I only got N✣. N✣ is the ultimate hair care home treatment, made to repair damaged bonds and, as the name may say, perfect your hair.

When the hair is damaged, that means these bonds have broken. To repair this damage, Olaplex created a patented formula using Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. It was not a nourishing treatment, not a protein treatment… it is a bond treatment.Īccording to Olaplex, our hair is made of disulfide bonds. What intrigued me the most about Olaplex is that it didn’t claim to be any of these things. You take turns between moisturizing, nourishing, and strengthening your hair according to its needs.Īfter a while, you figure out the best “chronogram” for you, and that’s how I know my hair is happier with constantly nourishing and with some protein from time to time. If you are a hair aficionado, you might be familiar with the Brazilian “hair chronogram” concept. (But if you are looking for more hair product recommendations, I do have a post with tips on what to buy if you are from outside the US and want to know what is worth buying for your hair in America). So I’m just an ordinary girl who decided to try some popular products to save her hair. If that is also your case, keep reading to find out if Olaplex is worth it for you!

I have wavy, almost curly hair with balayage highlights.

The last time I got a haircut was seven months ago.

I don’t even have a single hair mask at home right now!

I don’t get expensive hair treatments.

The only thing I use on my hair regularly are: shampoo (Tresemme), conditioner (Elvive), and leave– in (Garnier).

A quick reminder that I’m not a beauty or hair influencer.
