Nothing strains and damages our hair more than any form of bleaching or color treatment. The result is often dry, brittle hair, split ends, and even breakage. A little over ten years ago, the brand Olaplex realized that there had to be another way, specializing in haircare products that protect, repair, and strengthen chemically bleached hair from within, both during the process and between salon visits.

Since healthy hair begins with washing, Olaplex shampoos are particularly popular. Booster products enhance the care effect. The most popular include conditioners, a leave-in (no rinse), or a "hair perfector" used once a week. Below, you'll learn about the different options available and which one is right for you.

• Why we love it : Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo is the original hero product. It's a nourishing shampoo that rebuilds damaged hair and protects it from everyday stressors like heat, styling products, and more. Thanks to its unique, patented formula, even the driest, most brittle hair becomes shiny and resilient again. It repairs these bonds, making hair easier to manage and even healthier and stronger with every use.
• For whom : Suitable for bleached and color-treated hair, but also for very dry and frizz- prone hair that has been treated with too much heat, for example.

• Why we love it : The unscented "N°4C Clarifying Shampoo" has a deep yet gentle cleansing action. It removes buildup and residue from styling products – factors that can dry out hair, clog pores, and thus cause oily hair . The shampoo gently removes mineral deposits, heavy metals, and chlorine. Strongly formulated detox shampoos can irritate the scalp and have the opposite effect, namely brittle and straw-like hair.
• Who it's for : Particularly sensitive scalps that are easily irritated and dry and itchy from strong detox shampoos. Also suitable for those who tend to have greasy roots or who frequently use styling products and want to carefully remove residue.

• Why we love it : The innovation for fine hair: the shampoo for extra fine hair with a lightweight formula that doesn't weigh it down or dry it out. On the contrary, it adds volume; at the same time, it strengthens, repairs, and protects sensitive, thin hair. Leaving you with clean, smooth hair with more body and bounce.
• For whom : fine, thin, sensitive hair that needs special care and an extra boost of volume

• Why we love it : The feeling of freshly bleached hair that's vibrant, vibrant, and radiant, without any yellow or brassy tones? That's what Olaplex's "N°4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo" promises. The purple-pigmented shampoo counteracts unwanted discoloration and ensures a cool blonde tone with every wash. It also moisturizes, repairs blonde strands, and gives them a salon-like shine.
• For whom : ideal for chemically lightened hair between salon visits and also suitable for grey hair.

Complementary products for the best Olaplex shampoo routine

• Why we love it : The No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner makes hair "more manageable, shinier, and healthier with every use." Many people agree. Its formula, which contains glycerin, protects and repairs damaged hair, split ends, and frizz by reconnecting broken bonds. And while this conditioner is highly nourishing, it's also suitable for fine hair because it doesn't weigh down strands.
• For whom: for color-treated hair, hair types with frizz, split ends and rough hair textures

• Why we love it: This No. 3 treatment is neither a mask nor a conditioner. Hair Perfector is an exclusive treatment that you should use once a week, regardless of your hair type. The promise? A small amount of it repairs even the most damaged hair to reduce breakage, while simultaneously strengthening the hair to restore shine and softness.
• For: Extremely damaged hair, use as a treatment once a week as the first step in a hair wash. Rinse out. Follow with Bond Maintenance Shampoo No. 4 for even more moisture.

• Why we love it: If frizzy and flyaway hair is your biggest problem, you should incorporate the Bond Smoother into your hair care routine. The Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother is ideal for all hair types, even color-treated and chemically treated hair. This product also ends up in my shopping cart.
• For: For frizzy hair and coarse curls as a leave-in treatment. Apply to dry hair to smooth stubborn flyaways.

• Why we love it: Considered one of the best hair oils, No. 7 Bonding Hair Oil is enriched with anti-aging grape seed and green tea oils. It adds shine, softness, and enhances color vibrancy. Additionally, No. 7 is formulated with the brand's Bonding System to reduce flyaways and frizz while providing UV and heat protection.
• For whom: Can be used daily on wet and dry hair, or before heat styling. For all hair types – be careful with greasy roots – apply hair oil to the lengths of your hair as usual. Combine with No. 6 Cream to accelerate hair drying with a shine effect.

When Olaplex was founded by two scientists in 2014, no one could have imagined the hype the Los Angeles-based hair care brand's products would generate. Olaplex revolutionized the market with an innovative bonding formula that magically protects and repairs bleached and bleached hair—that is, hair that is highly porous, damaged, and prone to split ends and breakage. Initially used only in professional salons , Olaplex gradually launched products for personal use at home.

With its haircare products , Olaplex offers an effective solution for repairing the so-called disulfide bonds, or bonds in English, that are broken during the bleaching process. These bonds are responsible for the structure, stability, and strength of the hair. If these bonds are damaged or weakened, it leads to hair breakage. This is where Olaplex products come in, restoring these bonds and ensuring stronger, smoother hair – despite aggressive color treatments.

Olaplex shampoos are free of harmful DEA, aldehydes, and formaldehyde, and are paraben-free, sulfate-free, phosphate-free, and phthalate-free. The superhero in Olaplex shampoo, as in the brand's other products, is bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate. This molecule rebuilds hair from the inside out with virtually instant results. What's left is silky, resilient hair – with every wash.
