Will Olaplex Save Your Hair From Falling Off? (let's test it) 

Hii♥

Im exited!!

Sounds like an amazing product

I’m ready!!!! ♥️

You've made my curly girl hair so damn happy! 😭

DJmcb123 YES

That’d be coool!!! I have super thick hair and never use heat protectant. Whenever I get my hair done, my stylist always tells me I have thick healthy strong hair sooo

That's already been done by another popular youtuber: milabu

Lee Bug you still need to protect your hair regardless or else eventually all the heat damage is gonna add up, especially if you either use heat often or don’t cut your hair regularly (meaning every 4-8 weeks)

Lee Bug same I dye my hair and never ever use heat protectant and my hair is fine

Your such a beauty queen !!!!!!!

princessbbyxo. of coarse your beautiful... your a princess!!!

You are though, I mean just look at you!

What??? Have you looked in the mirror?? You’re gorgeous!!!! I hope you’re having s great day/night!

You ARE beautiful, whether anyone tells you or not! But he just wants our money in my opinion.

What do you think about the brand Monat who claims to be vegan and doesn’t use chemicals? I feel as if your hair needs some chemicals in order for it not to break off..

Stephy D Nortino good question!

@@stephanienorton5289 I've heard bad things about it from fellow cosmetologist. Use protien masks, heat protection, and olaplex if you can. Also use professional products to avoid wax build up on the hair, wax in cheap products will prevent your hair from absorbing what it needs.

Kelsey Morford no

@@mellissacrystel8777 no to what?

THANK you. That's one of the things I was saying in my comment too. This only shows the immediate day one "feel" of the hair after its first bleaching, and not what happens over time with styling and whatnot, OR what happens through the upkeep that goes along with keeping dark hair blonde.

@JJ Email Ummm....no. I've tried EVERY miracle treatment so the placebo effect should've worked a long time ago. Olaplex gave me hair I never had before after the first treatment. How can you call VISIBLE less breakage, softness, and shine placebo effect?🙄 You obviously don't know the meaning of the term.

@JJ Email lol nah

@@cfoster6804 i agree. I hv used Olaplex no 3 on my curly hair and I can tell the difference.

That's interesting, I found it made my hair grow quicker, used it many times, but it's never made my hair silky soft, and my hair is harder to style when I use it 😊

L H I felt that

So accurate :(

Same :(

SAME sad days

Felt that 😭😩

LOL. You go, gurl. Save that money.

Some of y'all are funny 🤣

How'd it go

The Non Binary Who Did Like Musicals it went great actually i’ve done it before it’s fun to me lol

@@elynnr love that! Ya. I have fun with my own hair as well. (It's different then my pic)

It hurts my wallet 😥

Doesn't any color make you shed ?

Bleach is the devil.

Doing God’s work over here 🙏 thank you queen

@@noemiechevalier4373 dyes that contain ammonia. Yes it will shed your hair but BLEACHING your hair will always shed it.

Ashley Johnston my hair is damaged from heat. I dont dye my hair. Do you think it’ll be worst investing in this? I’ll appreciate your opinion. Thank you 🤗

Sahira Rodriguez yes!! Any damage x

Sahira Rodriguez heat can break bonds that hold together the hair just as badly as chemicals do. It’s a great investment ESPECIALLY if you’re a daily heat user! If your hair is going through any kind of “creative abuse” then it’s a good idea lol. Just remember it’s not a moisturizing mask, it’s a hair bonding agent so if you have dry brittle hair, use something that’s going to hydrate your hair as well because heat both breaks disulfide bonds as well as dry out the hair.

abi everett thank you 💕

Ashley Johnston thank you very much for explaining it to me. Its much more clear now. Once again thank you 🤗💕

It won't. My hair was severely damaged when I first got it bleached from black to silver three years back and even Olaplex treatments couldn't stop it from breaking off. Olaplex is a fucking miracle for preventing damage and keeping hair as healthy as possible while doing/after chemical processes, but once the hair is at a point where it's truly overprocessed, even Olaplex isn't going to bring it back.

There’s no such thing as “coming back” after over processing. Even with olaplex.

My hair was literally breaking off when brushed, no matter how gentle, and Olaplex literally saved my hair. My daughter's hair was dyed blue (she was Corpse Bride for Halloween, and since her gown was made with real pearls and Victorian era lace, a very high-end gown, we decided to go big with her hair instead of the wig we got) with a temp Ion dye we didn't know was notorious for not coming out. Her hair is blonde. The blue didn't come out. We dyed it brown to try to cover the blue. The permanent brown faded before the blue did. We finally had to bleach her hair several times and Malibu it several times. We're talking hair on an 8-year-old's head. Her hair should have been fried by the time we did what was supposed to be impossible. We used Olaplex. It's still incredibly soft. So. Yes. This stuff works. ("We" refers to me fretting while her professional-hair-styling aunt, who chastised me for not consulting her before dying my munchkin's hair, did her work.)

If you want an awesome comparison on what olaplex can really do you should check our guy tang from pubes to paradise. He uses it to fix RU-vidr glam and gore’s hair, her hair was literally so ruined she wore wigs for over a year because it was just a rats nest she couldn’t do anything to it because she fried it so bad.

Overprocessed hair is dead hair meaning it’s dead and it won’t come back there’s no saving it. You can make it feel and look better but in reality it’s still in the same condition

Reese Asbury 🙌

You're a HERO 💙

You’re so cool.

The shade....also thank you!

i didnt thank you

Jessey Casey YES Brad, please see this, it would be really fascinating to see!

Your wife could do this too olaplex is in most professional stores

Pleeeease do this!!

@@starvazquez5445 but it's expensive and in most places you can only buy it with a license

Amelia Díaz Cortez uhhhhh if someone has a salon and is doing coloring on hair, you’re supposed to have a license. It’s illegal otherwise

Oh my goodness. I am in the same boat. I have always had fine hair but my hair stylist constantly commented about how much hair I had. Tons! I am now 60 and it started thinning massive amounts. I leave long strands of hair everywhere and globes in the shower. I have 1/3 the hair I used to and am ready to cry. My hair has also become dry and frizzy.

@@paisley1134 I feel the same way lately!! I’ve been using olaplex (what led me to this video, though I don’t color my hair) and keep seeing these “hair loss treatment” products that contain minoxidil. I haven’t purchased any yet but I think I might. I am only 36 but have noticed my hair coming out in clumps every time I brush or shower. At first, I thought it was just because I always had my hair in a ponytail, but I’ve gotten a lot better about that and it still seems so much thinner. I was forced to have a hysterectomy in 2018 due to chronic pelvic issues and things have been much better for the pain and issues, but I think the difference in hormones has contribute a lot.

SillySmiley94 yesss

Scalpymesuse a little goes a long way if you foam it up a lot it it spreads way better

Belle Br this is very true!! If you use a little bit of shampoo, just keep adding little bits of water in your hand and it will foam a lot!!

@@aleah.bashaa can't do that with conditioner though I go through bottles of conditioner in two weeks and I wash my hair three times a week

Anna Webb this isn’t like a normal shampoo and conditioner a little goes a longggg way. My sister has a lot of long very thick frizzy hair and what she does is she uses it once a week kinda like a hair mask thing and it work well if you think you are wasting product.

@@bellebr9844 The product isn't even out yet. How is she using it?

This is satire right?

@@echastee why do you think it is? Just asking of curiousity, I never used olaplex.

You are beautiful

You are beautiful, gorgeous, a radiant being.

Gabby Wright enrjsjwkdjdj thank you!! 🥺💕

Bookworm 678 thank you!

aww these comments are soo nice and positive💕 you are beautifuuul

Exactly! And maybe one time with plain bleach etc you’ll be fine, but repeated bleaching AND the feeling on your scalp, that’s when you notice a difference! I stan olaplex

do you use the no 6 cause that’ll make your hair softer after showering! it’s a leave in/ bond builder :)

@@autumnmarie8976 I haven't used it yet! I did just order the new No. 7 bonding oil from Sephora though. It's also a leave in

Julie McLean I want to try the oil so bad! I recommend no 6 though it’s amazing and has made my split ends look less visible I love it.

@@autumnmarie8976 I love the oil. Have yet to try no 6 but a rep from Olaplex said to cocktail 6 and 7 for amazing results. I have yet to try but really want to soon.

The 'difference' was a GOOD result for you?

I am not OP but yes, absolutely for me. I have type 2B curls and I completely lost my curl pattern due to hair dye, failing to take care of my hair properly, etc. My hair was also very brittle and felt straw-like. Olaplex 3 is the only product that restores my hair and makes it soft again. Nothing else works. I've literally tried all the expensive and cheap haircare products (including natural hair products) and nothing works like Olaplex.

@@nabarizvi9 You're very privileged to be using olaplex on the regular. I bet you spend $500 a month on your hair which is very sad.

Jem Leech yes

Stop copying other comments

Laura #honeybooboo I don’t see this comment anywhere else, and I genuinely just thought of it because I’m going to be bleaching my virgin hair and I’ve only ever bleached my hair when it’s been coloured... as if comment copying is a thing now omg 😂😭

I think it didn't repair it or sth, just make it smoother bc dead hair stays dead but I'm not a specialist.

All hair is dead.

Agreed

Right!!! I dont do hair, or anything with fashion or makeup really, but i still watch his videos almost daily. Lol

There are some puzzle pieces here- his dad owned a salon when he was a kid and he first colored/had his hair changed when he was five or so: There were stylists at the salon who messed his hair up frequently

What's it called?

angellerde Ion absolute perfection booster.. I believe.

Low key great idea for a video. As professionals once you have your license and can buy from Cosmoprof, SalonCentric, and StateBeauty supply stores, Sally’s is no longer desirable in ANY way. However I would love to see how it stands up to Olaplex.

Momma2thewilds apparently the new formula of olaplex no longer needs to bump the developer up, since you now use way less olaplex than you used to

fun fact about olaplex, it’s a patented technology. so no one can replicate its formula and the L’oréal smart blonde is actually being taken off cosmo prof shelves because they took olaplex’s forumla so they got sued. anyways, any “dupes” of olaplex will never do what olaplex does! their technology is insane! very bias towards olaplex because olaplex is my life and savour 🙄

I'm CTFU because this is so me too 😂

Well that's not normal 😂

I’ve been there my friend! Do an herbal parasite cleanse, I swear it helps 😉

Omg same, I got mine done today and I am in pain

I got my tooth out for my braces today ;-;

I got mine out a week ago and i can say it gets better hang in there

I want it too

Yeah cause 25 dollars for 300 ml it's crazy anyway

Giacomo Carnevale not to the average middle class American

@Makeup Minion I'm classified as middle class and I dont have the money to buy a shampoo that size for that price with my hair length and type lmao. Wouldn't last me a month so as much as I love him I dont want to spend that all the time

Ladies, just for educational purposes, most professional shampoo/conditioner lines are typically retailed somewhere between $15-$30, for a bottle this size. The reason being that the ingredients are much more concentrated, so when used properly, you will use about 1/3 of what you might need from a drugstore brand.

@@domiroy3752 This isn't completely true. My hair esp will suck anything and everything up so whatever they recommend to use I usually have to double or triple it (in both name brand and drug store) it also goes without saying that with any professional brand you're also paying for the name as well. And while I'm sure they are fantastic products it's just not worth it in the long run when a cheaper alternative that does the same if not better exists.

Yes you can, I have bleach my hair for over 12 years now, the thing that's important is to. change the products up, one /one wash whit Olaplex and the other week use Moisturizer mask - Shampoo and conditioner 🙋🏼‍♀️ That's saved my hair and I have alot of it and down to my under bubs 🙌🏼😇😄 If you only use products whit protein it will break of in the end 😫 so it's very important to switch them around moister one time or more and then a wash whit the proteins 🥰🙌🏼

😂 😂

Ha haaa

I DONT GET IT

@@2b00bsjohnson hair strands are basically just dead cells bonded by two types of bonds, sulfyde bonds (the one that make permanent change) and hydrogen bonds (temporal chanes when your hair is wet)

@Allison A sulphide bonds are too small to see with a microscope

Allison A You could see the atoms with an electron microscope but not the actual bonds and those things are hella expensive. Hair also some contains big ass molecules (like proteins) it would be hard to distinguish which atom is which with an electron microscope.

@@liliveliz4153 there are even some more bonds like the covalent isopeptide bonds and ionic bonds eg.

I love thoughtful people like u. Thank u

basically LOL if it's not falling off-go for it haha

Kodi Carlson lol that’s what i heard

Kodi C girl no oml your hair is gonna fall out

Don't do it!

He's stated before that he doesn't believe that giving your hair a "rest day" between bleaching will really do anything. And I mean... What WOULD it do? Any oil will just stay at your scalp, and hair is dead anyway, so it's not like it needs a break to breathe or regenerate or anything. It all depends on genetically how fragile your hair is. If it's strong and can stay bonded while bleach has to "break through" to lift pigment out, then great. If it's thin and brittle and will break while bleach breaks through to lift pigment, then it doesn't matter how many days of rest you give your hair, it was just built to break. :(

As opposed to... ? You realise the majority of shampoo and conditioners, especially those in salons, are developed by hairdressers?

Yes! This comment should have way more 👍

Great idea! Don’t need a scientist though. Just a microscope.

Definitely get a chemist so they can explain the bonds/mechanisms/what that means for the hair. I'd be all over that video 😁

But you will need an electron transmission microscope or an electron scanning microscope to get an adequate magnification. With a light microscopes or even a digital LM you will not see much of the hair (you barely can see that there are cuticle cells overlapping). Those electron microscopes cost several million bucks. 🙃 But I guess you will just see deposited conditioning material of No2 and 3 if you try.

@@7kadenza762 I could explain the function and limits, but I have not much time atm. And I am no native speaker. 😉 I can try to translate a few main points from my original posts and give you some cross references from patents and literature.

Its one thing to reverse damage its another thing to create it. Olaplex doesnt reverse damage thats already there. But it prevents serious damage being inlficted but all hair bleaching is damaging regardless

miz erie it doesn’t though. It’s a water based diluted formula. It allows your hair to become damaged and “reconnects” the bonds with their step two... you have to use the entire system to see results. But once your hair is damaged getting a cut is truly the only way to prevent more breakage. I say it’s like putting on a bandage it will only hold together for so long if your try to fix it with products.

Olaplex can’t rebuild disulfide bonds if there’s nothing to build. It’s a great help, but it’s not a miracle if the hair is that abused.

brad says often that there is no way to repair the hair after bleach, once it's done it's done

@@Kuriousspirit I know. But, seems like he needs to show those people. Because he always posts videos of people bleaching past repare and they get mad because they used it and it didn't "save their hair" and he needs to show them that it doesn't save the hair once its fried.

Relatable

Oh i heard of that , im not really sure though

I always use coconut oil when I’m bleaching my hair 😊

Olaplex replaces bonds that are broken during the lightening process, any oil just coats the hair which makes the bleach just a LITTLE less abrasive bc it's an extra layer on top of the cuticle

I don't bleach my hair - but I used to use coconut oil when I coloured my hair, or when I had damaged hair, and it doesn't really work that well. The main thing that it did for me was that my hair grew faster. I switched to olaplex and use a small amount each week (so that I can use a bottle at least 4-6 weeks) and it works way better. The last time I cut my hair was in April, and while I do have some split ends, it is 1/10 of what it used to be (I had issues with hair breakage)

From personal experience I'd day the coconut oil helps with lessening the damage and olaplex repairs the hair. It does two different things. The coconut oil definitely helps though. I have a lot less breakage when lightening with it

Yes i agree, a test needs to be done on damaged hair too.

Same girl

Doesn’t look luxury to me

the extensions were pre coloured. meaning. damaged

I use it and I bleach my hair all the time and it doesn’t work unfortunately

🙄

@@AAA-hz7fh how often do you bleach your hair tho? everything needs time to see the full effect, restoring damaged chemical bonds doesn't sound like it happens overnight. also not helpful if you bleach your hair often, bc you basically destroy those chemical bonds before olaplex could help to even reform them.

Csilla I usually bleach it every 6 months to a year. When I use Olaplex 2-5 it made my scalp really itchy and oily. I’m not too sure if it’s an allergic reaction or something

Yeah, that's a much better explanation

That's what I got out of it too. Good explanation!

BrownSugaRush yeah pretty much lol

Yeah basically

Ye but I used it to lighten my hair

My damaged hair looks better after flat ironing, it looks it's worst after I blow dry it 😭😂

joslyn Not sure of your hair type, but it’s kinda different if you have Afro hair. I have curly 3c hair and when my hair was damaged and I straightened it, the split ends stood out a lot as the breakage was at different lengths causing my hair to look choppy. When my hair was curly and damaged, it all blended in and my hair looked healthy. Same with others I know, tbh.

@@sauucedsuubliminals7185 - I am somewhat the same. I have this awful texture of cotton candy. 70% curls and the damaged ends blend, but the frizz! The other 30% just looks limp and tired and the frizz! I have yet to find *anything* to help with the frizz for more than an hour post shower. I have been flat ironing when I have the patience, but honestly, my hair is always up. No one knows how long it is. Even my mom will ask once in a while. Do you know of anything? What is curly 3c? How do I find out what I have? Sorry for such a lengthy comment! =)

Katrina C Katrina C By limp do you mean that you are losing your curl pattern? If so Calcium bentonite Clay (Aztec healing clay) really helped to bring back my curl pattern and it is also a natural resource from the earth and only consists of one ingredient vs the normal 10+ products and if you find it drying, you can add oils to the mixture. If you don’t wanna use bentonite clay, then look into the aphogee 2 step protein treatment as this is very good at reconstructing your curl pattern, too and they are both very good at repairing hair. For frizz, this starts from your wash routine!! Work the shampoo into wet hair in sections, don’t rub your hair together vigorously - just massage it gently. You can also apply oil 20-30mins before shampooing so that your hair isn’t stripped of moisture. Also deep condition with heat!! Whether it’s under a dryer or you use a shower cap to trap the heat in, this will open up your hair strand to allow moisture to get in. My favourite deep conditioners are by Shea moisture. One is the Manuka honey Mafura oil intensive hydration masque and the other is the Shea moisture black Castor oil strengthen and restore treatment mask. I leave the mask on for 1 hour under a shower cap with braided or twisted hair and rinse. Don’t towel try as this can cause breakage and frizz. Instead use a micro fibre towel or an old t-shirt or even let hair air dry. When moisturising, use a liquid such as a leave in conditioning spray, a cream such as a as thicker curl cream that will clump your hair together and then seal the moisture with an oil such as Castor oil. When your curls are clumped together, they are often more defined and less likely to look frizzy, so detangle by hand or find a brush like a denman brush that will smooth your curls together. If you need to separate any huge clumps, wait until your hair is dry so that you don’t disrupt the curl pattern as your hair is drying. Once it’s dry, do NOT attempt to brush it or comb it as this will cause more breakage as we have little to no slip on dry hair. Also, you can find out your curl pattern/hair type through videos on RU-vid or you can go on google images and find reference charts. Also find out your hair porosity! This will help you to figure out what methods and products your hair needs. Im not sure if I’ve missed anything, so feel free to ask more questions! Sorry for the long reply! Hope I’ve helped

Katrina C Also, cut back on flat ironing as you will make your hair concerns worse in the long run!

amanda marie i can give some tips. Im guessing your hair is long, thick and dark. And its not coloured right?

same omg! and i have medium length kinda thick hair so it happens all the time :(

Krr Brr it was long and i kinda have thick hair but not too bad, but i had to cut it shoulder length and rn my hair is naturally like a 5 but i’ve been highlighting it for the last couple of months

MEEEE

amanda marie okay gurl now im giving you my secret. I have the same type of hair as you. First rule is you have to blow dry your hair nicely. Dont let it air dry. Then braid your hair every night. All of your problems ara gonna go away

Yes please!!!!!!!!

I AGREE!!!

Selena Hernandez yes us curly girls need this

Selena Hernandez and boys, be fair .

@@glossymilk942 uh okay i never said guys dont have curly hair. 👀

NyanCatGamer34 YES

No

I got a something from the Aussie brand at Target. It's called "Total Miracle Heat Protecting Spray" It has apricot and macadamia oil in it. It seems to work and smells really good. : )

Yes but it must be applied correctly and cocktail it with other styling products.

macy kennedy YES!!!

macy kennedy I love the ion perfection booster but I did get on the Olaplex band wagon & I still am conflicted about it I just don’t know I havnt seen a change from it much

It’s an amazing dupe & I have used both and honestly I think the ion works better as far as softness and overall health

Alina well maybe my hair is too healthy then because I barely have any damage .. what I’m saying is I have no damage when I use bleach with or without olaplex I just could tell no difference in color texture or the over all feel of the hair afterwards like Brad

Stefany B ok i got it so basically u use it on healthy hair and can’t tell the difference well then that’s a good thing even while ur coloring it. :) I haven’t colored my hair in years and I can’t wait lol! So olaplex will be in my hair most definitely. Have u tried the new line with the smoother and oil?

Kimberly Arlene agreed !!!!!

YESSSSS❤️

Girl yes. Especially since they carry that dupe line for all the hair products! Called Generic Value or something, check it out!!

Doesnt that just mean that olaplex is temporary and the bonds wear out? The patent for the active ingredient says that results will wear out in about 2 weeks to a month. Seems to me like Olaplex just delays breakage until you stop buying.

@@personmcdudeguy Who knows. I haven’t stayed on top of using it on myself at home anymore.. I really just use it in my lightener and right after lightening. My hair has grown like crazy though and is healthier than ever.. no breakage.. and my new growth is still bleached every 6 weeks.

Lana Lana 🐍yesssssssss queen

Honestly, neither do a lot of hairdressers

Anna Bernick unexpected chapters in a Cosmo textbook include but aren’t limited to: chemistry, anatomy, electricity, and history!

hairdye/bleach has a lot of learning with chemicals, but then when ya get to perms/straighteners... oh holy shit the chemical learning. Sometimes there be a fine line between a perfect perm and melting the hair off.
