Colouring your hair is a chemical process that can take its toll, especially if the hair has been dyed repeatedly. If you don’t look after your hair properly after your treatments, it can become damaged. In this blog, I want to look at the warning signs that your hair is damaged, and how Olaplex can help restore its health and strength.
Signs that your hair is damaged:
- You have split ends
- It’s brittle and dry
- It’s shedding
- It lacks shine
- Your colour is fading
How to repair damaged hair
Get a haircut: This can restore the hair’s body and general condition.
Start a hair care regime: Use restoring shampoos, conditioners, treatment masks, and replenishing oils to restore the health of the hair.
Avoid heat styling wherever possible: Let your hair dry naturally whenever you can, and if you must style your hair, always use heat protection products.
Wash your hair wisely: Avoid using hot water and give the hair a cold rinse to seal the cuticle and boost shine.
Protect your hair in the pool and in the sun: Apply a leave in conditioner before you hit the pool to protect your hair from chlorine and use a leave- in sunscreen or wear a hat to protect your hair from the sun’s damaging rays.
Look after your health: Being in good health overall will keep your hair healthy. Drink plenty of water, and eat a diet rich in protein, fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, and low fat dairy products to keep your hair happy and healthy.
Olaplex: The hair restorer
If you really want to have your best hair ever, it’s time to consider using Olaplex.
Olaplex isn’t just a conditioning treatment, it’s a haircare system that permanently repairs hair bonds that have been broken during the chemical treatment process. So if you’ve over-bleached your hair or used other chemical treatments for years, it will really help to strengthen your hair from the inside out.
How does it work?

Colouring your hair strips away its protein reserves and the hair’s bonds are split. This means the hair becomes weaker and more prone to damage. Olaplex repairs the bonds and leaves hair sleeker and shinier.
The process
Olaplex is a 3-stage treatment.
Olaplex Number 1: This is the Bond Multiplier, and it can be used either as a standalone treatment or mixed with your colour.
Olaplex Number 2: The Bond Perfector is then applied to the hair once the colour is rinsed out. This stage is left on for around 20 minutes to work its magic.
Olaplex Number 3: This is the Hair Perfector, a take home treatment that we recommend you use once per week to keep your hair healthy and your colour lustrous and shiny.
The benefits of Olaplex
- It repairs breakage and split ends
- Your hair is left smoother, softer, and more manageable overall.
How long does Olaplex last?
Olaplex lasts until you get your hair coloured again because it doesn’t wash out.
