The Ultimate OLAPLEX Hair Treatment Routine
We’ve put together the ultimate OLAPLEX routine to take the guesswork out of using these iconic products. Here’s how to seamlessly incorporate OLAPLEX into your haircare routine:
Step One: Pre-Treatment with OLAPLEX No.0
OLAPLEX No.0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment primes the hair for the rest of the OLAPLEX treatment process, helping it to absorb nourishment and rebuild damaged or broken hair bonds with the highest dose of OLAPLEX technology in any at-home product. No.0 is easy to use, too – only requiring ten minutes to work.
Step Two: Intensive Repair with OLAPLEX No.3
OLAPLEX No.3 Hair Perfector is essential for repairing bonds, strengthening, and smoothing hair. This weekly at-home treatment reverses signs of bleach and chemical damage, permanently rebuilding dry, brittle strands. Learn all about how to use OLAPLEX 3 in our detailed guide, to get the most out of this much-loved product.
No.0 and No.3 are key to your routine but should only be used once a week. Skip these steps if you’ve already used them recently.
Step Three: Cleanse with OLAPLEX No.4
OLAPLEX No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo cleanses and strengthens your hair without stripping moisture. It’s suitable for all hair types and is the perfect follow-up to your bond-building treatments.
It’s also one of the easiest OLAPLEX products to use regularly. If you’re unsure which OLAPLEX is right for you, No.4 and No.5 are always a solid starting point…
Step Four: Condition with OLAPLEX No.5
OLAPLEX No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner delivers deep hydration, reinforces bond repair, and leaves hair stronger. The best way to use this OLAPLEX conditioner is to apply it to the ends to target weak, split ends, and pair it with No.4 for maximum results.
Step Five: Weekly Mask with OLAPLEX No.8
OLAPLEX No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask is a must for deep moisture repair. This highly concentrated formula smooths, adds body, and boosts shine, leaving your hair looking salon-fresh in just 10 minutes. It’s easy to use OLAPLEX No.8 and it works for all hair types, so don’t skip this step—especially if you’re dealing with damage.
Step Six: Styling and Protection with OLAPLEX No.9 or No.7
Finish your OLAPLEX routine with either No.9 or No.7 to protect against environmental damage, boost shine, and safeguard your hair from heat. Use either before heat styling or as a finishing touch for added frizz control and protection.
–OLAPLEX No.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum offers antioxidant-rich protection from pollution and heat for up to 48 hours, adding shine and eliminating static.
–OLAPLEX No.7 Bonding Oil is a weightless, nourishing oil that repairs strands from root to tip while increasing shine and providing heat protection. Learn how to use bonding oil and you’ll see why it’s one of the best hair oils around.
The main difference? No.9 is a hair serum, while No.7 is a hair oil. So, choose the texture you prefer!
For the best results, follow an OLAPLEX routine consistently—no slacking! Hair repair and damage prevention take commitment, but the results will be worth it.
