Spotlight on Olaplex

Olaplex has become somewhat of a haircare hero in recent years, with users across the UK and beyond heralding its potency and effectiveness in coloured, damaged, and normal hair.

The fact is that from influencers to celebrities, hair stylists and everyday users, Olaplex is now a go-to with a broad range of products – many of which boast specific uses and benefits while others are for more general use. And in this blog post, we’re sharing some of our favourites – providing you with the insight and advice you need to go out and make sure you pick up the products that will be most effective for your hair.

How does Olaplex work?

Olaplex sits at the top of the haircare market for one simple reason – instead of simply plastering over hair breakage and weak bonds, it works to fix them. By strengthening the hair from its core, Olaplex helps to restore the health of individual hair follicles as well as the aesthetic and look of your full style – using the patented Olaplex ingredient called Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate.

This may seem like a long and overly complex ingredient name, but what it does is bind the bonds of your hair back together – healing rather than plastering over damage caused by heat and external factors.

Featured Olaplex Products

Below are a selection of fantastic Olaplex products, many of which you can find in the Boilerhouse online shop as individual products for sale, within the Olaplex Bond Maintenance System Kit or the Olaplex Complete Hair Care System pack.

No.0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment

If you’re not already familiar with the Olaplex brand then you may not know that every product has its own number, and that different packages are available which combine the numbers designed to work together and complement each other’s core purpose. No.0 is the at-home version of the original Olaplex No.2, which is the bond perfector used by salons.

What this particular No.0 product does is give consumers and haircare lovers a way to nurture and care for their hair in between salon appointments – making it one of our recommended treatments for those who visit us here at Boilerhouse. When used correctly and left on dry hair for around 10 minutes before applying a layer of the No.3 product, this bond building treatment leaves you with smooth and shiny hair.

No.3 Hair Perfector

Mentioned as part and parcel of the treatment you should indulge in with No.0, the No.3 Hair Perfector is another pre-wash treatment which can further help to fix damaged hair and give hair strands extra strength. Once applied and left to work its magic, this treatment should be washed out of their hair as per your usual washing routine.

No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner

We’re on a bit of a roll with the bond protecting and maintenance treatments here – but bear with us because these are the products that will get you the highest quality finish and the most luxurious experience outside of a salon.

This bond maintenance conditioner works to repair and nourish the hair post-washing – not only protecting the strength of the hair itself but also supporting the maintenance of dye in coloured hair.

No.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum

Less is more when it comes to this nourishing hair serum, which is designed to be applied to and left in dry hair to protect it from heat styling and other external influences – including pollution and the elements.

One of the benefits of this particular serum is that it can be used effectively straight after washing or on those days when you want to give your hair a break and simply opt for a simple style – injecting a new lease of life into the hair instantly.

No.4 Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo

Finally, to one of our favourite shampoos in the Olaplex collection – and this is one which appeals to us because of its accessible structure and the fact that it protects the hair from impurities, product build up, chlorine, pollutants, and harsh water chemicals.

One of the newest products in the Olaplex collection, this shampoo is sure to become a big seller as customers herald its ability to leave their hair clean and perfectly smooth, without stripping away the natural oils or over-drying the hair.
