OLAPLEX RUINED MY HAIR and THIS is how I'm fixing it. 

Our No. 1 priority is to develop and formulate scientifically proven products for the health and the well-being of our customers. OLAPLEX products have been tested by independent third parties in accordance with industry standard dermatological studies. That testing confirmed that OLAPLEX products, when used as directed, do not lead to any reactions or sensitivities associated with hair loss or breakage.

My hair was DESTROYED by Olaplex. Thank you for raising awareness

Olaplex made my hair so thin that my hairstylist told me it looked like some trauma had happened to my body/ that’s the only reason for such drastic hair loss in a short amount of time. Sooooo sorry for everyone who’s experienced this too but sooo happy people are speaking up about it. Also, for everyone saying you’re only supposed to use it every so often, etc- NOWHERE on their website says that. It says their shampoo and conditioners are formulated for every day use for ALL HAIR TYPES. Absolute insanity!! 💔

I have blonde highlights, bleached hair basically, and I have noticed that every time I use the Olaplex 3 my hair gets so dry and damaged. And it takes so long for my hair to recover. I have decided I am not using it anymore. I thought I was the only person experiencing this. I’m glad someone is honest and brave enough to say the truth. That’s why I love your Chanel.

To all the morons saying Olaplex is a protein....Olaplex is NOT a protein so it's not a protein issue. My friend hair fell out from using Olaplex . Many women suffered from hair fall out from using this product. There's now a lawsuit. I never jumped on bandwagons. When you finally find something that works stick with it. If it's not broken don't fix it. I'm glad your hair is bouncing back...it looks nice :).

Great video. Marketing is a bitch to consumers. I’m a Kerastase user and tried Olaplex last week. After the first usage I noticed hairloss, but loved the shine. I used it for the second time today and now my hair is like straw and it’s falling out even more. I’m so done with it. Money wasted! Hopefully my hair grows back fast.

Just wanted to say that I’m loving your recent videos after “the big change “ lol you’re lovely to listen to and watch so keep it up!!👍

Olaplex ruined my hair too; I had to take 7 inches off and I have curly hair. Protein fills in gaps in hair (these gaps can occur from any type of damage). Olaplex repairs broken disulfide bonds; the only way disulfide bonds break are through chemical processes such as dying, perming, or relaxing. Both can cause the hair to become too strong and break (elasticity and some softness is necessary to maintain its integrity). Its about a balance and its tricky to find. The manufacturer/brand should stop proclaiming its for everyone for sure, but I knew that as its how science works. I just did not think it would be possible that using it just a few times would have done that much damage. I figured that I would see it doing damage before breakage would be possible just like with products that contain protein, but its a very strong product.

oh my goodness. My heart just broke. I’ve been using olaplex since 2021. I’ve been fine until the last 2 months. I have never been so depressed….. I took a picture and you can SEE the balding. I have been thinking my hormones have been out of control because like you, my hair is SUPER oily at the scalp and the rest of my hair is DRY, BROKEN, and staticky! I’m so torn. I used to have THICK luscious hair and now it’s ugly.

This is almost my exact experience with Olaplex. My hair is color treated (brown/black) and I followed the instructions of ALL the products with a timer and/or actually used them less than directed. My hair is severely damaged. It will take years to grow out. Never again! Olaplex has been contacted numerous times by our group. The only response we get is the bot. They have not reached out to us at all. They are however, reaching out to all the big hair influencers. This whole situation is just so sad. Ps. You are beautiful and have gorgeous hair. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Thank you for being brave and sharing your experience. ❤️

you're so passionate, it was a pleasure to watch you. thank you for the story and advice!

Came here to see If I was the only one. After using the whole line for three years, I have massive amounts of broken hair. I haven't even put any color on it in over a year, due to the fact my hair is in such bad shape now. I've even had to cut "12 INCHES"!!!!! I absolutely believe its something to do with some ingredients in this product. I have colored my hair for over 15 years and use expensive products to keep it healthy, that is until my "OLD" hairstylist recommended the line to me. I have since fired her. I will be trying another line. Just my two cents.

Olaplex DESTROYED my hair. 8 months post usage and still shedding and breaking like never experienced by anything before in my life. I lost 50% of my hair.

No. 3 did nothing for my virgin type 3b 3c curly hair, I thought it would repair heat damage but my hair just looked straight on top with hardly a bend or wave. However, I went to the salon and had no 1 and 2 done twice a month apart and it completely transformed my curls I've literally seen like 80% improvement my hair has started to form ringlets on top. At home I use the kerastase curl manifesto line and Kerastase is supreme for me but I will continue to use olaplex no 1 and 2 every now and then at the salon. I don't plan to try olaplex shampoo and conditioner it seems most complaints are about these products

I've died my hair red for years and Olaplex made my hair like straw! I did exactly as directed and its like absolute straw and does not hold moisture at all and to comb it after a wash with a large tooth comb is a nightmare as well its like trying to come dry seaweed in how it mats together. My hair is past my waist so when I say I dye my hair I mean I am that careful with it. Never in my life have I seen anything like this. I have normally Disney princess hair in thickness and in breakage I've lost like 50 of the thickness to my hair. I had lab work done - saw my hematologist, had iron infusion, more labs, saw my GP, went to a dermatologist, to be told nothing is wrong with the hair follicles and that it might be stress. What stress??? My life isn't stressed at all the only thing new in my life was Olaplex and I did this treatment with No. 3 a year and a half ago and the hair fall on this has been crushing to see happen and I've never seen anything like this in my life and I was NEVER a Diva Curl product buyer. The only new to cause this level of damage was and is Olaplex. Also I've never done a protein treatment in my life either.

Thank you very much for your honest review, you saved me ! This video was very helpful!

Thanks for the video! In August I bleached my hair 3 times. I wanted to go back from black to blonde, like it always was. My hair was literally elastic like noodles. I have been using all olaplex products for 3 months and my hair is back to how it used to be! So happy with it! But unfortunately after a few weeks I notice that my hair is thinning and falling out. When I use other shampoos and conditioners, the hair loss seems to have disappeared as well. I only use no6 and no7 and it works really well for my hair! But unfortunately no more shampoo and conditioner from olaplex. I've spotted a lot of baby hair and I don't want it to break any further.. Thank you for your experience!

I came back to this video. Yesterday I saw on the news Olaplex is being sued for hairloss. They still deny the allegations and say their product is safe. It’s not. They are hoping it goes away. Thankfully I never did it. I have enough issues with hair loss from anemia and thyroid issues. Staying away from all chemicals for my health.

Olaplex made a bunch of my hair fall out. There’s a lawsuit against Olaplex in Canada right now. This stuff should NOT be in stores.

I used Olaplex #6, 3x, and my hair is ruined! I am losing my hair so badly and have been for over a month now. I just hope I can find something that works and stops the loss of hair!!

OMG my hair was destroyed by Olaplex, I had to go to the doctor to see what the fuck was happening! I tell all my friends to not use this shit

I am heartbroken to find a community where the same thing horrible thing happened to ALL OF US! I used Olaplex for 2 years religiously. My hair was so thick, healthy, and beautiful. I've lost about half of my hair and have the same exact problem. Broken hairs of all lengths, those stubborn baby hairs (if that is what I can even call them) barely framing my face, and brittle dead looking hair. I am so distressed and appreciate you posting what has helped you get through this.

This is the 2nd report against Olaplex I’ve seen lately. Until now, I’ve heard stylists rave about how great it is... yet when I bought it, used it once, I didn’t like the feel, so I never used it again. I was confused as to why it didn’t feel and sit right on my hair, but now I know why.

I have a lot of hair and have never had hair loss like I've been having since using Olaplex. I've been using it 3 months and only wash once a week and it's not always with Olaplex but was wondering what the heck was going on!! And half of my hair is gone now! Absolute nightmare!!! Olaplex is a poison.

I started using olaplex a few months ago for the first time. I used the hair mask maybe twice but was using the bonding oil alot. I wanted to strengthen my hair since I got alot of highlights. Since then, I have lost 8 INCHES OF HAIR. My hair is so THIN in the area where I would use the oil. I thought it was my hairdresser [when she was doing my hair] that caused this. NOPE! Reading all these comments - describes exactly what happend to me. DRY/BRITTLE thinning hair. I had to cut some inches off just to have a "full look". My hair looked like a broom missing 75% of the bristles. I would never recommend any of their products. My co-worker who started using the products and a friend of mine around the same time - HAD THE SAMEEE ISSUE. There is no way 3 of us had the same issue at the same time randomly.

Thank you Olaplex also ruined my hair!

My hair normally grows at the speed of light and ever since the "Plex" trend, where it's hard to find a product without a version of "Plex" in it. I'm looking like Cynthia from the rug rats. Mass produced, dermatologically approved drug store shampoos are going to save my hair from Plex plague

Been waiting for this video!!!!

Thank you for sharing this. I have natural hair and it's been shedding like crazy! I've been using Olaplex for 2 years now. My normally thick full healthy hair is weak and thining. I thought it was hormones, and have gone through so many tests! I've been using it for 2 years now. I'm just discovering that it all started around the time I started using Olaplex. My hair was so healthy! I am stopping immediately. Will it grow back?

Thanks for posting this because I thought it was me not doing it right or having enough of their products. So annoying! Thank you again for sharing and saving our monies!

Hi 👋 Chemically treated hair here and mine also got SUPER DAMAGED. Started shedding like crazy after using Olaplex. Had breakage, straw hair, the whole 9. This company is garbage and I wouldn’t recommend anyone do anything with it except throw it in the garbage. I’m currently taking hair vitamins, collagen & trying to salvage my once beautiful hair 😣

I went from keratase to olaplex and my hair became course and started falling out. I dye my hair and it was in great condition using only keratase. I’ve used keratase off and on for 25 years and will never change again!

This is such a timely video for me! I was just planning on ordering the whole Olaplex line. I bought the small 1 oz bottles to see if I liked it - I did/do. But, after seeing this, it's a hard pass for me. Thanks Sara!

I experienced the exact same thing and started using a clarifying Shampoo to help which it did!! I have mad breakage too 😭😭 but now I’m going to try the kerastase and report back on the progress 🤞🏼Also I used maximum once a week as directed! I think that even though they say it’s for all hair types it is best suited for chemically processed hair!!!

Thank you for this. I have been finding the same problems. I have also had so much added hair fall. I've stopped using it and I could really use some advice and help. I didn't have chemically treated hair. I also followed all of the instructions.

I'm lying in the bathtub right now soaking my hair in clarifying shampoo. I just ordered all the products to you recommended. Thank you so much. I will update with my progress and results. You are the best! I wish I'd seen this last year when you posted it.

I've been using Olaplex for a long time & I've also recently noticed the breakage and product buildup AND I also just caught on to clarifying shampoo. I did not realize the breakage was from the Olaplex, tho. My hairdresser mentioned she didn't like Olaplex, but I didn't listen. Defo gonna stop using it. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏽

I used olaplex line for 3 months, I ended up with extreme breakage and hair fall 😣

I have chemically treated hair and used no. 3 and my hair felt like wire! I was so confused. Never had a product make my hair feel so bad.

I can't believe there's no warning on the bottle. I followed the instructions perfectly and on my 3rd use my hair completey changed. The bottom layer of my hair looks completely fried now... And interestingly, the section of my hair that I used as a test strand is the worst (it technically went though 4 treatments)... I heard of this happening before I tried it and I completely ignored people's warnings because so many people were adamant about it being 'impossible' to damage your hair with Olaplex. Lesson learned. 😔

Thank you for your info I also used their 4c clarifying shampoo which just made things worse My hair never felt so bad 😭

Hi! I have been using the Olaplex #6 and the #7 oil. My hair is long and was much fuller until I got Covid last September. Then poof! The thickness disappeared. :( So I was hoping the Olaplex #6 would keep it moisturized and the #7 oil would lock in the moisture. I honestly haven't noticed any benefit. And I agree with some below about breakage and fly aways. My question is........... if this is bad, then what are you all using now? For a thick moisturizer, etc?

I have been using Olaplex 6 for about a month and a half and it's been great, but I am worried. I have the 3 as well, which doesn't seem to do anything much. I am wondering if it is the shampoo and conditioner? My thought is it might start at the scalp. Can people state if they were using either and this happened. Definitely nervous about continuing to use any of them. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for this information ❤❤❤

I'm a hairstylist/colourist and I've been using olaplex religiously for the past year and started to notice major breakage a couple of months ago out of nowhere. I know it wasn't from being coloured or lightened because I haven't done that! So I was confused. My hair is breaking from high up the hair shaft. I've never experienced this and I'm pissed! It wasn't until watching videos of other people experiencing what seems like the same thing, that I made the connection that it was the olaplex!!! I stopped immediately and have purchased kerastase in hopes that I can get my healthy, long hair back🤞

What foundation do u use girl and shade its beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Omg!!! Thank you for the information on Orbie. I used Olaplex a month ago 1 time and in the rinse process my hair instantly started to fallout and has felt like straw since. I am so exited to get my hair feeling normal again. I am only using a natural shampoo bar now and a little biosilk conditioner on my ends. I really want my hair back. Thanks for the information on the detangler too.

I experienced the same damage after using the Olaplex Healthy Hair system twice this month. The first time my hair felt extremely dry, fizzy and tangled, so I thought perhaps I did not leave the No. 0 and No. 3 combo on long enough before I used the Olaplex shampoo and conditioner, or needed to use the mask. So about 9 days later I used it all again, and followed the instructions to the letter, along with No. 4 shampoo, No. 8 intense moisture mask, No. 7 oil and No. 9 bond protector serum. My hair was literally destroyed. I do not mean figuratively, but literally. So much of my hair fell out. Some from the roots, but a lot broken. The amount of hair left in my various brushes and shower drain is shocking and scary. I had a mass of tangles at the roots of my hair and down the entire length (my hair is half way down my back.) For the next two days my hair was so dry and brittle and tangled that I resorted to various 40 minute hair restoration masks like olive oil, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt and honey mixtures. I have been using large amounts of hair oils like coconut and awapuhi that have helped. One of the worst things are the sores I have on my scalp that developed after the 2nd use of Olaplex. It has been three weeks and they have not healed and a few new ones have formed since then. I understand that a lot of people love Olaplex and get amazing results, but it is not for my hair type. Which is fine, a little wavy and chemically processed. It will take years for me to outgrow this damage. I hope my scalp and hair follicles recover in order to regrow my hair. I hope the problem is a coating on my hair (as mentioned in the video above.) To me it feels like it is something that has soaked into the hair, or destroyed it from within. I used the products because of their great reviews and because my hair was feeling a little dry from the chemical processing. It is so much worse now, I had no idea what real damage could be done. I have the same one- to three- inch long pieces that stick straight up all over my head, and some are wirey and kinky. The oils that I am using on my hair do make it look presentable and allow me to carefully brush my hair, however, as soon as I wet my hair in the shower it feels like course, matted straw all over again and it makes me realize that the products are merely covering up the damage, not helping to truly correct it. I will try a clarifying shampoo followed by another intense mask as you suggested and see if it helps. I will also try the Unite 7 detangler. My hair has never been this tangled ever. Thank you, Sara. PS- I have requested a refund from Olaplex and will mail back everything I purchased from them today. This was the worst $130 I have ever spent.

My hair is down to my behind ( youtube politeness lol ) and any time I use any shampoo besides head and shoulders it wrecks my hair , I have looked into olaplex and others but just wasn't convinced 😅 so ty for such a great explication of your experience xx

It doesn't matter what brand you use, if you over load with protein ( strengthening) you will get straw like brittle hair. You need to stop with the protien and moisturise!!!

But your hair looks fine, like I can’t see the damage you’re talking about.

Been using Olaplex no 4 and 5 for a year and stopped about a month ago .. my hair thinned out SO much and the shedding was insane!!! I'm now hoping to recover everything that has been lost with this terrible brand!!! I am starting to use Nioxin shampoo and conditioner as well as a collagen treatment to help rebuild my hair health!

I also have mostly virgin hair, I have spent last 2 years growing out my blonde colour and switched to Olaplex at the start as I wanted to use good quality products on my new natural hair. Olaplex do state their products are good to maintain the health & integrity of virgin hair. Recently my hair has become very dry, brittle & straw like. Its gone really thin & breaking, I have only used Olaplex shampoo & conditioner. I have just stopped using it and clarified with Head and Shoulders and now using a Pantene range for fine & thinning hair so I hope my hair will indeed recover. Its early days yet ...

I just got an olaplex treatment in salon (1,2 and 4in 1 mask) during my Demi-permanent hair color service,should I be worried about consequences??

I’m a natural redhead and I used that line. Not only did it break my hair but it made my hair FALL OUT!! Like bald spots!! Horrible

I used to have really long hair to my waist and lots of it. I have bleached my hair for years and just used standard drug store shampoo and conditioner (pantene mostly). Went to a different hair dresser for a bleaching who used olaplex on my hair. Within 4 months half my hair was gone. I tried all sorts of masks, treatments, bonding this and that and nothing made any difference. 2 years on, still thin and shedding and damaged. Many people say these things are great and they love them, I tend to think they will not really see the damage until they stop using them completely. I will never put any bonding product on my hair ever again.

This is happening to me right now because of olaplex 😢 I finally caught onto it - hopefully not too late. I will try ur tips thank u!

My hair just broke off almost to the root after using Olaplex 3 ! So frustrating and kind of embarrassing tbh. I’ve never had short hair and since it’s curly it’s really hard to style now. After this happened I had a few people tell me they have heard alot of people say this. It will be years before my hair gets back to normal length. This is unacceptable @Olaplex

Olaplex broke my naturally fine hair as well. I started using it to try to strengthen my locks which are prone to breakage as a proactive preventative measure and boy did it do a number on my hair. Had to abandon it and resort to clarifying and even purchased a water filter for my shower to try to alleviate the damage. In fact because sooooo many people were raving about Olaplex I decided to give it another try because I thought it could not have been the Olaplex must have been something else I did. But second time and my hair became dry and brittle and started self trimming again I eventually had to trim off 4 inches to get to some semblance of healthy hair. I’m now on a recovery journey. ☹️

I use a Clarifying shampoo because like you I don't wash my hair daily. And it just cleans my scalp really well. I've used Not Your Mother's but that one is stripping. Right now I'm using one from Revolution, yes the makeup line! And I really like it.

I have the Olaplex styling products but not the shampoo or conditioner. I dye my hair every 6 weeks! So it's damaged 🙂 I've never had a problem yet? 😁

My hair became brittle and broke off. I'm devastated.

What about K18? How long can we use?

In between you use the clarify use a second shampoo also before conditioner,it really helps to smooth/hydrate xxx❤

Thank you so much for making this video! I experienced the same issues with Olaplex that you and so many others have had. My hair is graying, so I color it. I decided to try Olaplex because I wanted to take extra good care of my hair. I followed all of the directions to a tee. My hair felt great at first, but after a few months, it became very tangly, was breaking off like crazy, and felt like straw. I lost so much hair on the top front part of my head, I no longer have enough left to have bangs. I just recently read comments from many other people having the same sort of issues after using Olaplex. I immediately stopped using Olaplex products. Since then, I've washed my hair twice with an inexpensive shampoo and used an apple cider vinegar rinse (cheap clarifier!) both times. Although it's going to take a very long time for my hair to recover from Olaplex, it's already less tangly and feels a little bit less like straw. Definitely no more Olaplex!

My hair didn’t fall out, but I have a highlight lowlight situation, and cover my grey roots monthly. Every time I’d go in my stylist would do an olaplaex treatment, I did have broken hair and thought it was new hair growth. And it changed the color that went on, and made it so flat and weird looking, flat, and limp. I’ve been using Aveeno a grocery store brand to clarify and it’s helped a lot! I could NOT figure out why my hair looked so crappy after seeing this new stylist.

Girl, I thought I had dandruff and I was wondering why dandruff shampoos wasnt working. It wasn't dandruff it was build up. I started using a clarifying shampoo 2 times a week starting out and now 1 time a week . Now my scalp is super clean no issues.

I think the thing people don't realize is that with any strengthening/repair hair treatment, especially Olaplex, you must follow up with a conditioning treatment every time or your hair will become straw-like, brittle, dry, etc.and breakoff tremendously. You can't just use it as your stand alone conditioner. Always follow up with a moisturizing mask.

I don't use price as an indicator of quality. I do however try to stay away from silicones as I know my hair doesn't really like them. I don't use really harsh shampoos with SLS or clarifying shampoos either as they really dry my hair out.

Heard nothing but great things about Olaplex. Not going to try it though, especially after this video. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Ive used the shampoo and conditioner for years. I never bought the number three, I did buy the number 7 oil but didn't really care for it. The last year I have had extreme hair loss and saw a dermatologist for it. Theres something different in the last year. When I take a break from olaplaex the hair loss stops, when I use it again it takes about a week and the hair loss starts again. Took me awhile to figure out what was causing it. My hair dresser said she has been phasing it out as it no longer seems consistent.

FinallY!!! Thank you so much girl. Spill the T

I also had a ton of breakage!! And I boohoo'ed too because my hair was doing pretty well after a year of going absolutely clean shampoo/conditioner. My crown like yours was a mass of broken hair, and I have fine hair and I am totally careful and use lo lo heat tools and anyway sister so sad. Well, I'm hopeful now thx to you because I've been doing heavy gels to keep the fly aways down but I hate it and it takes alot to get it off so I'm just happy to have found this video!! gracias

It completely destroyed my beautiful long hair.It’s become so knotty and wirey that i had to cut it very short :/. Only used TWICE with lots of follow up moisture.

This is my experience with Olaplex a few years ago. I have only ever used Olaplex 1 and 2. These are the most potent formulas of Olaplex. They saved my hair. I'll summarize my crazy situation: I had started with hair that had been previously highlighted. Then I bleached my entire head with 40 volume developer and high lift bleach. I didn't like it, so I dyed my hair brown. It was too dark so I bleach bathed it. Then I dyed it with high lift blonde dye. I did all of this within a couple of weeks. I did stand alone Olaplex treatments followed by deep conditioning treatments before and after each bleaching/dye, as well as putting Olaplex in each bleach/dye formula. My hair did not break, fall out, or have nearly the damage you would expect. My hair was a little dry, but nothing major even after all of that abuse. I don't know anything about the other Olaplex products, but I credit #1 and #2 for saving my hair.

Can I ask how your hair is going and is the damage reversing? I have been wondering why my hair is so short in places and why it’s so brittle and now I have an answer. Would love your updates on this.

I've almost used the whole bottle of number 3 and my hair is getting gummier

Sounds nice but so expensive got any advise for clarifying at a bit of a lower price point 😊

The breakage & hair loss from Olaplex is specifically from the very strong silicones in all of their products (w/ the exception of No. 0 & 1). How has no one figured this out?!?? It boggles my mind. I am a Black girl, with natural virgin 4c hair & use Olaplex and have been fine. Why? Because just like you said, and you were spot on- we have to CLARIFY. Detox even!! And no there’s no protein in it.. I think just like with Wen, DevaCurl, etc.. this is why ppl are losing hair & experiencing dryness, breakage, etc. If ppl are relying on Olaplex as their sole shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, etc, then they’re in trouble. So much more I can say from some ppl being allergic to the phenoxyethanol in it, to ppl buying fake Olaplex products that appear to be the real thing on Amazon (who is not a authorized retailer of it) to how No 3 is really the only product one needs (color-treated or not) to how you only should use No. 4 & 5 for if you plan on heat styling! Alas, I’ll save the rest for if someone has a question.. But feel free to copy & paste my reply on any forum, Tik Tok, etc.

I am blonde chemically treated hair.. i am using olaplex N4 and i have noticed last few weeks my hair is dry and ends are all damaged.. i have stopped using it immediately and switched to Loreal professional repare shampoo 🤞

Great video. Thank you. Everything that has been discussed here is exactly what has been happening to me. Olaplex definitely the worst thing I have ever done. I switched to Redken a few months ago but that hasn’t changed a thing sadly, so I will try the products mentioned here. 💕👍😊

I thought I was the only one! Thank you for posting this. Olaplex wreaked havoc on my blond hair.

I haven’t used olaplex enough but I’m curious how long you’ve been using the new product you showed for? U said olaplex and it was great for 6 months.

I also had issues right at 6 month mark. I started with hair mask for few months then added the whole line other than bonding oil. I have lost so much hair that I am down to about 33 percent and seeing scalp. I use to use purador and aveda no issues. Hopefully can turn it around. I didnt know about this being a issue until i bought a bottle smelled like wet basememt and did google search.

I'm going through this now and just saw all these videos! I'm horrified! My hair is so brittle and broken. I hope I can find something to help 😢 thank you for your video.

I’m pretty sure olaplex caused me to have blisters on my scalp. It itched so bad. Also my hair broke near my scalp as well. I didn’t realize it was olaplex at first and then it dawned on me. But I also used the olaplex clarifying shampoo as directed. I have all their products and used them exactly according to directions and I had problems.

I have blonde highlights & Olaplex has been great for my hair. You’re so right, everything doesn’t work for everyone!

I have a small bald spot on back of my hair after using olaplex.Does anybody have same issue? Ever since i heard they banned no.3 because it makes hair fall off.I think that might be it but not sure

oh. my. god. leaving 3-rd comment on your channel today. the point is that's so true. I'm literally shocked now cause that's what I'm experiencing now, but the brand is kerastase and the lineup is for dry and sensitive hair. i always wanted to go for the best for my hair and never wanted to reach for the cheaper products again after using professional cosmetics. i thought I just have unruly and thick hair on my crown area and it becomes less frizzy by growing out. thank you so much for your honest reviews, Sara

I used Olaplex 3 in 2020, it was fantastic. However I used it again January 2023, and in weeks my hair breaking off, dry, brittle and dull, it's all shedding like mad.

I have always had damaged hair and I started using olaplex and my hair has never looked so good before. Maybe it’s not for everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe some hairs just react bad to it because I’ve seen other girls use this brand and it’s been helping them out. Good luck ladies.

Same thing happened with my hair after using Olaplex. Lots of breakage and dryness. It's not for everyone that's for sure!

So happy to hear that I'm not the only one 😢 all of the hair stylist I told looked at me as if I was lying

This product wrecked my thick dark hair as well - horrible!

Using since month from India And I had so many treatments on my hair but I never experienced such massive amount of hair breakage and fall It’s like after every wash a large portion of my hair are falling down. Not sure if I stop using it will it be back to normal or not

Oh no, I just purchased a ton of Olaplex products from their cyber Monday sale. I bought 0,3,4,5,8 and the oil. Luckily they are super small sizes. I have extremely dry damaged bleached blond hair. I hope it won’t totally destroy it. 😢

Can anyone let me know if your hair grew back normally? What products are y’all using? I’m so sorry we’re on the same boat… this is horrible. I literally threw my olaplex out yesterday. I don’t ever want to use their products again

Ola Plex. Where do I Begin? I like you started using it I never had damaged hair, but I did get it colored just dark I went. It’s kind of my natural color and I like you just wanted to use a really good brand of shampoo and conditioner I started out with a Conditioner loved it moved to the shampoo. Oh my goodness my hair felt amazing at first and then boom and then of course couldn’t understand why I was having breakage so then I added the number nine which is supposed to be heat protectant and boy did that do some damage so then I thought OK I’ll add the oil thinking that it was I had no idea not a not a hair person just trying to take care of my my gorgeous hair that I had. I did that oil in and boom. That’s when my hair went down the drain extreme dryness like so dry brittle change the texture of my hair. Basically it ruined the structure of my hairs what it did breaking splitting just a complete nightmare. I’m still trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t honestly . And I was never told you were only supposed to use it if you had damaged hair my hair was never damaged. I was always told how gorgeous it lol and my bottle for direction says use every time you shampoo or after you rinse with all the Plex, number three follow up with Ola Plex, number five, Bon maintenance conditioner, so as far as I’m concerned, the directions on the bottle are fraudulent and that’s how I feel. My stylist never said only use this once a week or once every other week or anything like that so I feel that this is no fault on me. I feel it’s all the Plex his fault I do not feel that they give clear instructions. I do not feel that the stylists are being trained and how to use Ola Plex properly for the most part they’re getting incentives for selling it and using it which OK we all want to make money I got it but their product needs clear and accurate instructions and stylist needs to be trained and who and who not to sell it to that’s my personal opinion on how I feel about Ola Plex there’s an entire group on Facebook that’s growing over 7000 women that are experiencing the same horrific ordeal as you and myself I’m actually part of that group it’s nothing less than devastating, which takes a toll on you mentally physically and emotionally because we like to go out and look nice and feel good about our self and Ola Plex has taken that away and let me also add expense that we have to sit here and incurred, trying to figure out how to fix our damaged hair from their product again they need to be held accountable

like olaplex said using it correctly would be fine for your hair but I’m sure it’s not for everyone since all of us have different hair needs 😊I am sorry you have hair issues tho and hope you are able to fix it 😊 I am taking notes on your new routine . Always looking to learn new things 😊 about the clarifier is it clarifying shampoo ? Sorry still learning 😊
