Olaplex, the Original Bond Builder!

4 min read

 

A completely innovative brand that has revolutionized the world of hair care, particularly the repair of damaged hair. 

An uncomplicated and complete answer, at the same time. Developed in detail to restore vitality, health, and shine to damaged hair, Olaplex holds the greatest promise: the bonding and repair of hair bonds damaged for various causes!

How does Olaplex complex work?


Olaplex

Our hair shaft is composed of a number of disulfide bonds that ensure the integrity of the hair shaft. When we detect that, by running our hand through our hair, smaller strands fall out on our desk or brush, we are facing a hair breakage, which can be caused by several agents. 

When hair is damaged by thermal, chemical, mechanical, or environmental factors, these bonds are broken, resulting in single-sulfur hydrogen bonds.

The differentiating factor, its patented active chemical: Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. A single molecule that works on a molecular level, visibly improves hair strength, protects from the inside, and gives immediate results for all hair types.

Is this a moisturizing treatment?


No, this is a complete reconstruction treatment! Let's look at the difference:

While protein and hydration treatments are more superficial and do not reach deep into the hair, Olaplex acts at the cellular level, inside the hair shaft, rebuilding the disulfide bonds.

Who is Olaplex for?


Olpalex is beneficial for all hair types, and the brand itself approaches its customers that way! Whether your hair is virgin, colored, straightened, thick, thin, frizzy, without volume or even for those who use hair extensions, this treatment repairs the damage caused by all technical procedures or everyday actions such as heat sources or even climatic factors such as wind...

Does it contain sulfates?


No! The entire Olaplex line does not contain sulfates, phthalates, DEA, aldehydes, formaldehyde, gluten, parabens, known as aggressive components that damage hair.

We believe that, among other things, this is the reason why no allergic reactions to any component of the treatment have been reported yet! 

Is it an ecologically responsible brand?


For Olaplex the environment comes first! Its mission is to develop and maintain sustainable products with environmental, social and economic benefits, while protecting public health and the environment throughout the entire life cycle.
