Is Olaplex worth the money for girls with natural hair?? 🤔 

Hey hey! The Olaplex products and Bond Bar products that I use are all linked here in my Amazon Storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/simonenicolee__/list/NHUIK2GT7EL1?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfsimonenicolee___0M0QNKF11EF6WZ6G42CB

Aphogee! Is a cheaper alternative! I had head damage and after one treatment my curls are poppin!!!

I think people who have issues with Olaplex are due to user error. They are following tips which the product was not meant to do, like leaving no.3 on overnight . It can work on natural hair but it's not meant to be used as frequently as someone with chemicals on their hair. I have relaxed hair and I use it weekly/biweekly and love it! It helps my hair to not tangle, fixed the porosity, I can go much longer without a touch-up, and my hair retains moisture much better. Only one product that does all the work is no. 3.... No. 5 and 6 are good, but the rest are optional

I saw that women were losing their hair from using olaplex. I'm not messing with it, period.

4Z girlie here ( meaning I’m a real 4c girl fr) and I’ve used olaplex on my color treated “natural” hair and it worked wonders for keeping my color and preventing breakage. But it’s really not that special if you are just looking for something hydrating/moisturizing for the hair. But a necessity for bleached, permed, transitioning hair because it will keep the integrity of the hair strong. Also I like it for the girls who have protein sensitivities and don’t respond well to protein treatments. Psa: you don’t need the whole line just pick the products that will blend into your already existing routine!

I cannot speak for anyone else's experience; however, I have been natural for over 18 years. I have tried many of the big name products for natural hair on the market. Last year, I began using the Olaplex line. It has been a game changer for my hair. My hair is more manageable, retains more moisture, splits less, I have better curl definition, and my hair bounces back from heat sooooo much better than it did with any of the products I've tried before. I LOOOOVE Olaplex!! I have combined Olaplex with Camille Roses Curl Love and all I can say is LIFE is GOOD!!

Olaplex isn’t for natural hair, it’s for chemically treated hair. It repairs disulfide bonds that can only be broken by chemical processes. This is why it works on your color treated hair. Disulfide bonds are the hardest bonds to break, not even heat can break them. They can only be broken with chemicals. Please learn about the products you’re using before slapping them in your hair. Olaplex isn’t meant for natural hair, unless you’ve chemically treated it with color for instance, in which case it is no longer natural in reality. People need to do their research instead of just buying products with no idea of what it is meant for. By the way, all that I’ve said can be easily found on the company’s website if anyone bothered to look into it.

I have 4c hair and have been natural for at least 8 years. There was a point in time where my hair was damaged and was growing out straight and brittle, mind you I also don't use any heat on my hair so I'm still unsure of what was going on with my hair. I've only used the Olaplex hair protector and honestly didn't believe it would work for my hair type, but it helped bring my hair back to life! Even after my first time using it, my hair quickly bounced back to its natural state.

I use Olaplex and Curlsmith. I damaged my hair with color last year in April and my curls were gone. I am 3C/4A and my curls came back after 1 month of using Olaplex weekly. I plan to use Bond Bar once I run out of my other products.

olaplex is salon grade and for all hair types. olaplex is not an everyday shampoo or conditioner, it's way too strong. it's mainly used to test damage hair or for treatments. I use to work in a salon and hearing people say they use olaplex everyday hurts my soul

I believe Olaplex works best for hair that has been damaged by bleach. It works well for me, but I will not be using it if I ever stop highlighting my hair.

Olaplex reversed my severely heat damaged hair

I was skeptical too, but Olaplex No. 3 seems to work for me. I’ve been transitioning from relaxed to natural (a mix of types 3 and 4) for two years now. About an inch or so of my natural hair, just above the demarcation line, was getting rougher over time despite giving it lots of attention and moisture. I decided to try No. 3 on a small section of my hair after I saw a few natural RU-vidrs review it, and what do you know-that section of my hair is now much smoother after one use 🤷🏾‍♀️ I tried it on another small section (different texture and curl pattern) during my last wash day, and that part is no longer rough either. I have the 4-piece kit, but I think I really only need No. 3 and maaaaybe No. 0 because I don’t heat style or dye my hair. To anyone interested but nervous, I recommend trying it on a small section of hair, not using any of the products on your scalp/roots, and buying it from an authenticated retailer with a good return policy. Edit: This RU-vidr (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7nQr0qIP3K0.html) explains the need for bond repair on Black hair pretty well. Green Beauty also made a video a couple years back explaining the different types of damage otherwise healthy looking Black hair can have.

4c girl here also bought it with my money 😂. Olaplex changed the relationship I have with my hair. Years of color, relaxing, braids undid after one treatment. I would just recommend you use it the way it instructs you

I love olaplex for my bleached/colored 4a/4b locs

I love it. I have a mix of low porosity 3C-4B hair and it’s done great with my hair. Usually I’m super protein sensitive (low porosity hair doesn’t really need protein treatments like that) but usually I like to do one every six months during my shed cycles and I’ve definitely noticed a difference. Of course, I do what works for my hair because the gatekeeping of products is way too expensive for me to keep up with. But I will say that my hair loves OLAPLEX. It doesn’t strip my hair and surprisingly, I don’t have to get out of the shower to detangle in between the shampoo and conditioner process which is always nice. I’m a Mielle girl through and through but OLAPLEX has won me over. I’ve been reaching for these products more than my Mielle products (that pomegranate honey line has me in a chokehold). Buy the travel size ones first before you commit. That’s how I got started a year ago. For reference, I have never dyed my natural hair. The only chemical treatments I have done were relaxers (I’m 5 years natural now). I do use protective styling and get scalp injections for my psoriasis.

I’m 4c and I swearrrr by olaplex

I have 4c I've used the Olaplex #3 at home and have had the whole line used at the salon the most important thing is following it up with a hydrating treatment, conditioner something to add the moisture/hydration back into your hair.

As far as olaplex, you really only need the 0 and the 3, but i strongly recommend 8. To reduce the amt of product going to waste, i clarify my hair with a clarifying cleanser, towel dry, section and apply 0. Wait 10 min, apply 3. You really won't need much that way. I highly recommend olaplex used this way. Have not tried bondbar yet though. Not sure how my hair would react to switching bonding product😅

Aphogee for damage hair ❤ seriously 😊

I would say you’re leaning towards 4A hair

Your hair deffo does not look like 4b it's giving possibly 4a or maybe a 3c/4a

I have colored treated hair, and I believe Olaplex has been breaking my hair and causing it to fall out. It’s a long story and am still monitoring my hair. I shaved it all off, re-colored it n it’s been about 2 months and my hair hasn’t been falling out so.... I’ll keep y’all posted. I’ll probably do a video

I am natural, I am a black woman, I use Olaplex… (because I have bleached hair) and I’m a licensed Hairstylist. Now Don’t y’all go using Olaplex when you don’t have broken hair or need bonds rebuilt… IT WILL NOT DO YOUR HAIR ANY GOOD…if you can,invest in the best products or all natural products for your hair to be healthy…

I’ve used quite a few of their (Olaplex) products and they work for my low porosity type 4 hair. People also have to understand you’re not supposed to use 0 and 3 every wash day. It’s considered a treatment (bond repair). Correct me if I’m wrong🤷🏽‍♀️. I’ve been using them interchangeably (O, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9) and my hair loves it. I’ll pay the price for quality👌🏾

I like using Olaplex No.3 before blow drying my hair, before putting braids/twist with extentions in my hair, when I take down my braids. And this is on wash days. It works wonders on minimizing breakage and tangles even for the next wash day when I don't use it. I have all the 4types in my hair, fine hair with multiple porosities and protein senstive. It's not good on healthy hair becuz it's for damage hair or b4 you are about to do a style that can be damaging. I still use protein but I can use lower protein treatments now instead of harsh heavy protein treatments that make my hair super dry and brittle. Olaplex is great if you don't use it every wash day to extend the life

If we’re not watching the 4c girls, we won’t see the content come up. Plenty of creators have posted about olaplex. TressesofAlexis, Faye in the city, and Shereadelsol have all done videos on it

I have used it for 2 years on and off and I love it. If bondbar is similar I'll give it a try, but I try not to fix what's not broken 😄

10 Toes Down for TGIN the Shampoo & Conditioner & all products for 4C Thick Hair Girls is EVERRRRRR THING!!❤❤

Thank you so much for this boo! As a curly girl I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for clearing it up!

This is why NON HAIR STYLIST should leave professional products alone if u don’t know how, why, or when to use them. OLAPLEX IS GOLD and does wonders on hair while lightening.

Still not the least bit convinced. She wants to see someone with her hair type. I want to see someone with damaged hair actually bounce back using this. Haven’t. On any hair type. So I’m not convinced.

I wish I had 4b hair instead of 4c like it’s so beautiful don’t get me wrong but sheesh you should see how some braiders act when they see my hair mind u my hair is trained and easy to manage but it’s the disrespect for me

Olaplex is a professional brand that is good for any hair type. 🤷🏾‍♀️

4a hair and I love olaplex…..it’s best on natural hair that’s color treated….this is a treatment product not something you use so often. Only when your hair is in need of a good repair

I think it’s a bit over hyped i kept using it all the products and wasn’t blown away. I have waist length 3c hair although not 4c I know how to style all natural hair. I feel like it hasn’t done anything any different maybe for colored hair tho.

You only NEED the #3 and the #6 leave in. The rest of the line is overkill

Olaplex worked wonders for my hair. I had postpartum shedding, iron and Vitamin D deficiency. It helped my hair recover so much. I use it every other month now and before silk presses. When it was damaged, I was using it two to three times a week (directions said it was perfectly safe) until the shedding and breakage stopped. I just cut about six inches of hair off.. because my hair was layered and I wanted a blunt cut. I still have about 12-14 inches of hair on my head. It’s healthier now more than it was when I was waist length (wasn’t using olapex then). You have to know what you’re doing. It is pricey, I’m experimenting with other high end products.. but on average I don’t think it should be used all of the time.

Your hair is beautiful!

These products are amazing! You’re not supposed to use them in your weekly regimen unless your hair is colored, relaxed, or bleached. I use it every two weeks or as needed and it works great for my natural hair. My hair is not color treated but it’s high porosity.

Olaplex 0 and 3 are essential for me. I have 3c/4a hair type. Will look for this new brand. Thanks.

Another cheap alternative to a lot of Olaplex products is The Inkey List which is really underrated as most people only know them for their skincare but not their haircare but they have bond treatments, other protein treatments, hydration treatments, scalp clarifying treatments, scalp exfoliating treatments and hair growth stimulating treatments so generally it’s just a nice line for targeted haircare and is a lot cheaper than other companies with similar treatments like Olaplex

My and I both love the Olaplex Hair mask #5. And yes he has #4 texture hair. If you dont like it, it's simple dont use it. Bogus claim, it does not make your hair fall out. That's the competitors whining cause Olaplex is a far superior product. Jealous haters. My hair has never felt so good.

4c, i use olaplex 3 before/after protective styling and once a month as a preventative measure. My hair is doing good but also always deep condition on the wash day i use it.

Thanks because i started using Olaplex on our hair and i love it but, had been waiting to restock because of the price. Thanks for the rec👍🏿

I have 4c Hair and I’ve been using the products for two years now, and I love it. They are a bit pricey but it’s worth it. It’s for the good of my hair.

Your skin ie everything ❤

As a girl with type 4 hair no you definitely are 3c type 4 tresses don’t glide through combs like that

I use olaplex number 3 only on my 4a hair i foloow it up with aphogee 3 minute protein and then deep condition. I shampoo and condition before all of this

Soooo pretty 😍❤️ I love your hair

I’ve used olaplex before and I think it works pretty well, but I’ve never heard of bond bar so I definitely need to try it out, thanks!

THANK YOU for this!!!!

I like the Bonding oil. Holy grail. However, I’m pretty sure those other products made my hair fall out. I literally had to do big chop.

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve been waiting to use Olaplex. Good to see this brand that’s cheaper but I still want to try Olaplex bc I’ve seen so many videos where it’s shows how amazing it is on our hair and it works fast. Some things are similar but just can’t do everything that the other can.👌🏽 Ill be looking out for your review of it. How long did you use Olaplex?

I have 4a hair and have been using it for a year. And my hair is SO damaged. My scalp is always dry and I lost significant amounts. There are lots of people having the same problems. If you’re going to use it just pay attention to how your hair reacts. Stay on top of it

Beautiful young lady.. this was great to watch, but goodness, it's giving me anxiety remembering stressing about hair..lol..Locd❤

I only use the repair products, i.e the pre treatment. They saved my 4a/b hair from damage. They are expensive, but a little goes a long way

Thanks girl !!!

I like olaplex condish! It works well

I have natural hair but very thin, (sometimes breakage) sensitive and always greasy, I have tried out a lot of hair products and nothing seemed to work for my hair. I tried olaplex and this rlly made my hair smooth and not-greasy though I recommend looking at your hair and see if you even need it since as a lot of people pointed out, this product is rlly good for people that have chemical-ish hair (bleaching, coloring, heat damage things like that) and yes, I have tried other cheaper products (from my local drugstore) these did not do good for my hair. My routine for olaplex is: I use a light shampoo, do a quick drying with my towel so it's damp but not soaked then I put in 0.3, ( after application of 0.3 ) put my hair up in a bun and leave in for 10-15 mins and rinse then I just use the shampoo and conditioner. I use the 0.3 once a week and same for the oil 0.7 also once a week. (I wash my hair 2x a week bc greasy hair) and then I just blow dry it and be done with it!

It made my hair shed I like Aphogee products

I’m not 4c more of a 3b but I love it!

It worked really well for me and I am 4c hair type. I’m gone try again

Not Casper the friendly ghost…😂😜

If olaplex doesn’t work use Brigeo for 4c hair it works really well

you have 3C/4A hair but go awf.

I have 4c hair bought olaplex last week and im in love. Rather than buying it all i talked to someone who knows the product and only purchased 0,3 and 8. The shampoos are for if you got the salon olaplex treatment. Idk if I'd trust a tiktok knock off.

Creme of Nature also has a very affordable hair bonding product line.

Beautiful hair btw second person

I HAD BRUTALLY DAMAGED HAIR AND STARTED USING THE REDKIN BOND PRE SHAMPOO TREATMENT, SHAMPOO AND WAS BLOWN AWAY BY HOW AMAZING IT IS BUT THEY SELL A CHEAPER VERSION BY LOREAL AND ITS THE EXACTLY SAME FORMULA JUST A DIFFERENT FRAGRANCE BUT I HAVE TO TRY THIS OUT ASAP! ($9.99 in Canada BC)

Olaplex #3 is all I use it’s like magic in a bottle it has restored my damaged hair from relaxers 😁

I’ve been using olaplex for a few years and it has kept my color treated hair healthy but I don’t abuse the product. I use it when i take down my braids(every 2 months) and when I get my hair dyed(every 4-6months)

Thank you!!!

Olaplex is a hair corrector system…Think thts the confusion for most. It’s to correct and restore/repair

I have 4c-4z hair and I swear by it. 3, 4 and 5 is my goto.

Right, Carlos don’t know nothing about those ppl. Dr H was telling him stuff he didn’t even know.

Done.. It’s over now!

Thank youuuuuuuuuuu 🙏 🙏

Thank ya sis

I see people dogging Olaplex. It’s amazing, it’s just only to be used on chemically/color treated/ heat damaged hair. This line is strictly for bond building and bond maintenance. This means if you have virgin/ natural/ undamaged hair, you will “overbuild” your hair and it will fall out. I have heard so many stylists say that they hate that Olaplex is sold OTC bc people who don’t need it are using it and this is what’s causing the damage. Which they are now facing lawsuits for. Go see a licensed hair stylist before using Olaplex or other bond builders. Only they will be able to tell you if you should start using it and they will be able to tell you which numbers to use and how you should use it. The products are expensive so you wanna make sure you are getting the right ones. And if they do suggest you use it, you should still be mindful of the frequency of use and how you use it. It’s a potent line of products that builds and repairs on a chemical level.

I love the leave in but that’s about it

Thank you!!

Just try it people and if it's not for you then...

Olaplex no.8 is the one! Less breakage and fallout after 1 use

Lemme add .... the Organix line has their version of Olaplex poo & cond' I like it !!!!! Crazy shit is, I found it a Ross 🤦🏽‍♀️ and haven't seen it on na'n store shelf at a retailer. I am completely natural and ion know which "C" my hair is but its curly curly similar to Simone's

I have 4C hair and I love it

What colour hair dye is this?

I did not care for any of the olaplex products. They dried my hair out , and left it in tangles. After conditioning it was still a matted mess. Just my own experience with the product.

Can you please review K18 too!?!?

What brand did she mentioned that was equivalent to Olaplex???

I’ve only ever used Aphogee for damage

I think ppl wanted to see Mell and Marsau and yea Sunni too but dusty swart she’s that girl and she’s the reason this season has ratings. 🤨😜

I remember the day consumers couldn't even purchase olaplex and it was only for professionals. But bond Bae imma look into

Imma try it Out. Yet is it bad to use numerous different products I think is good for my hair. Same products but just different brands. Like you have Ole Plex and then Bond Bar..but you buy both constantly..

Design essentials Avocado line is good.

Its for DAMGED chemically treated hair if your hair is DAMGED it won't work, dry and Damaged is different

Olaplex stopped my hair from breaking so it probably depends on your hair

It’s gonna started weakening ur curl pattern they r in lawsuits now it’s not made for us black women hair

It’s good for our when it’s bleached

What do you think of lamelar waters?
