Why you should request Olaplex with your next Hair Salon appointment

It's no secret that every chemical services can be harsh on our hair. Bleach, perm, dye... all those treatments give us the hair we've always wanted to have but with time they can also seriously damage them.
​However, there is one product that allow you to minimize those damages and keep relatively healthy hair while having any chemical services: Olaplex.

I personally discovered Olaplex watching this video from Guy Tang, taking the FX makeup artist Mykie fried hair to silky smooth hair while dyeing them orange, pink and red. ​

Ok, you have to give credit to the wonderful artist that is Guy Tang, but still, I found the result incredible so I started researching that product he was talking about in his video.

​Guy Tang is a big fan of Olaplex because it allows him to express his full creativity without compromising his client's hair integrity.

Olaplex is based on one single ingredient. Yes, only one. The formula was found by two PHD's in Materials and Chemistry. Their discovery allow to link broken bonds in the hair during and after chemical services making them stronger than they were before.

​Ok so you may be like "that's impossible, that's magic, that's not real". If you don't believe me, just check Olaplex's instagram account and see the magic!

My experience using Olaplex

So far, I have used Olaplex 3 times. First, I got it as a treatment only (yes you can do that) in orther to give strenght to my hair. At the time, I knew I wanted to go back to my natural hair color, which would involve a couple of dye jobs but my hair was really damaged. I also did not want to cut them because...well I like my hair extra long :)

​I had a blowout after and I was impressed by my hair quality (usually blowout makes them extra-dry). They were shiny, easy to brush and extra soft, especially at the ends!

A month later I came back to my hair salon in order to dye my hair back to it's natural color. Again I requested Olaplex and the result was just as fantastic. 

Third times was another dye job, because the color faded quite fast after my trip to Sri Lanka because of the sun and sea.

Today, I am very happy that I chose to have Olaplaex. I won't lie, my hair is not like brand new but I can tell they are much better, stronger and shiner
