The best-selling hair treatment in the Olaplex line-up, this product uses the brand’s bond-building patented and ground-breaking hair tech. So we don’t lose you in the science of it, in the most simplified form it works by infusing strands and repairing broken bonds that go to make up the hair structure.
These bonds are often damaged from salon trips and daily aggressors, manifesting in frizz, dryness, breakage and so on. By doing so, it promises to repair damage, strengthen strands and reduce breakage in all hair types.

It’s a pre-shampoo treatment, so you apply it to damp hair before shampooing – leaving a generous amount of the creamy product combed through for 10-minutes. This makes it much more convenient to use than standard masks and treatments, as you can apply and go about your daily routine without any shower time-wasting while it gets to work.
Our tester has long been a fan of this product but hasn’t used it in a while. After re-introducing it back into her routine, she had forgotten how much stronger her hair feels when using it at least once a week. Dry, brittle strands started to feel softer and look healthier the more we used it, and the same goes for less breakage and shower fallout.
