What is an Olaplex treatment and is it worth it?

Olaplex has transformed the hairdressing industry, but many clients still wonder: what exactly does it do?

The Science of Olaplex

Unlike traditional conditioning treatments that simply coat the hair in silicones or oils, Olaplex works on a molecular level. It seeks out and repairs broken disulfide bonds in the hair—the bonds that give your hair its structure and strength. These bonds are routinely broken by heat styling, chemical services (like bleaching), and environmental damage.

When Do You Need It?

An Olaplex treatment is particularly crucial if you undergo regular lightening, balayage, or full head colour. It allows colourists to push the envelope and achieve lighter, brighter results without compromising the integrity of the hair strand.

Is It Worth the Investment?

Absolutely. At Obsessive Hair Salon, we strongly recommend incorporating Olaplex into our colouring services to ensure your hair remains strong and healthy. If you're traveling to us from within Hampshire or beyond, adding a stand-alone Olaplex treatment is absolutely worth the investment for the long-term health and resilience of your hair.
