A little over a year BEFORE Olaplex was available in my country I already knew what it was and how it worked, because I choose to stay relevant, I choose to continue looking for ways to expand my knowledge and skills. I am a hairstylist that has taken the TIME to educate myself properly on Olaplex.

They do not pay me to write about their product. I would also like to add that I am not affiliated with Olaplex, I do not work for them. Why are there stylists who get amazing results, no breakage and healthier hair, and others don’t? Because some use it correctly and others don’t. If there are stylists out there who have only had bad encounters with Olaplex, and completely feel this product is not what it claims to be and it does not work, I am very sorry to say but you have NOT been using it correctly. It allows the hair to stay intact and strong. But I honestly think that apart from all of this, common sense should tell us that you can’t take someone with severely damaged hair, fried ends and then bleach them even more, with or without Olaplex. You may think “What’s the use for Olaplex then?” Olaplex allows you as a stylists to push the limits, it does allow you to bleach one or two times more than you normally would. Just because we are using Olaplex doesn’t mean we must throw our education out the door. We still have to ensure the clients hair is able to receive more chemical services. We STILL have to check the porosity levels. As professional stylists it is OUR job to ensure that the clients hair can handle a chemical service such as bleaching. Your bleach does that part, Olaplex merely assists the bleaching process if used correctly. It does not have the ability to burn or damage hair. It is impossible, as stated in part one it is free of silicone, sulphates, phthalates, DEA, aldehydes, gluten, and it is never tested on animals. Having car insurance won’t prevent you from having a car accident, you have to follow the law of the road to prevent an accident from happening. I think it’s really important to say that Olaplex does not make you immune to breakage, it’s only insurance for your clients hair. Hope you enjoyed part 1, today I want to discuss the mixing ratios of Olaplex, how exactly to use it and how to prevent breakage with Olaplex.
