1 month of olaplex has altered my hair in the best way

After 1 month of using Olaplex, I can say that i'm honestly seeing an improvement in the health and elasticity of my curls. I love when a product does what it claims to do.

We are so happy you are loving the OLAPLEX system! Your curls are looking so beautiful and healthy! 😍

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank you 🥰

[@Olaplex]

@@BrittanyMia You’re welcome! 🥰

[@lindav7158]

olaplex is not a joke. Its the best thing that has happened to my hair ---hands down

[@BrittanyMia]

🙌🏾

[@cyrenepierre7324]

They do offer liter sized bottles of the olaplex shampoo and conditioner. It's about $100 per bottle, however that is cheaper than buying the little sizes every few months. I personally am encouraged to see this video and am now super excited to use Olaplex on my next wash day. So often I see people use the olaplex system before straightening their hair. I haven't seen anyone really use it on healthy hair or keep their hair curly after using it.

[@hijegeueu]

I use it on my natural hair, and especially before I straighten it. I don't notice much of a difference when wearing it natural. There is a bit more shine and curl definition, but I think that's also due to no longer air drying. However for me it seems like I can really tell the difference when I straighten my hair. Then I can really tell it's shiny and stronger.

[@Iwasonceanonionwithnolayers]

I use it for my natural hair. I haven't blown my hair out in 2 years, whoops

[@creboski]

Glad to see you efforts have work in getting your hair back to the way you want it to be.

[@GirlDanceTonight]

I love the denman D38! It defines my curls so nicely.

[@1GoldenBreeze]

I like Olaplex also. I've been using No. 0, 3, & 4P. Somewhere between bra strap and waist length, my coils started doing something funky from mid-shaft to ends. It wasn't breaking or anything but the coils were just different. My cousin is a stylist and she told me to start using Olaplex No. 3 at that time they didn't have No. 0. Sometimes I don't use No. 0, and I can't tell much of a difference. I've had a Mallen Streak since I was little and got my first grey hair at age 10. So the No. 4P keeps them looking bright and not yellow or brassy.

[@SheReaDelSol]

Your curls look so good! I really wish more of us would try and use Olaplex. It’s worth it!

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank you! Yes, most definitely worth it.

[@msf8297]

We're broke 😭😭😭😭 but I love the science around it.

Thank you!! ❤️

[@comelitekang8873]

Olaplex works really well. I have type 4C hair and the Olaplex system had changed my hair game. Wash say us a breeze. I love it🥰💕

[@BrittanyMia]

That part!

[@viviancalender453]

Olaplex is great. It's one of my 3 core brands. 4 years and counting and my hair has improved greatly. far less breakage in the beginning; and nearly none after trimming off damaged ends (could not do a big chop). I have 4B/4C fine, coily hair

[@butterflydecollette2688]

You make me wanna use this on my 4c hair!

[@BrittanyMia]

Do it!

[@coilyloxs9696]

I’ve only used #3 and LOVE IT! I want to see how the entire collection works for my coils, next sale it’s mine 😝

[@hijegeueu]

Definitely buy No. 8! Especially if you straighten or blow out your hair.

[@xngala]

Omg you got the brush! It's the best!

[@BrittanyMia]

It's so good!

[@xngala]

@@BrittanyMia use the brush vertical to detangle

[@RabielleParfait]

So relaxing to watch. 😍I started incorporating Olaplex into my routine last summer, but only use No. 3 & 4c as staple. I started with No. 0 but thought it needs to be applied on clean, dry hair. Bec I clarified, let it dry and then do the treatments the next day, I didn't find it convenient. But starting already with wet & clean makes it so much easier!

[@BrittanyMia]

Oh yeah, that sounds super inconvenient for sure. I don’t blame you for dropping that treatment. Starting out on with clean hair really does help!

[@ossier2796]

I like your paddle brush.

[@denyshadials5702]

I was soooooo happy to see you finally switch to a paddle brush 😍 I love the D38 it’s just a pain to use in the shower. So I mainly use it outside the shower for the occasional prepoo or protective style. I prefer to use the Unbrush in the shower-so simple and easy to clean.

[@GirlDanceTonight]

What do you find difficult about using it in the shower? I use mine in the shower with ease.

[@denyshadials5702]

@@GirlDanceTonight It fills with water and I can’t hang it or set it anywhere convenient the way my bathroom is set up. I also wash my hair frequently and I like my tools to completely dry out after I wash them. Sometimes it’s not, because it only has that tiny air hole.

[@BrittanyMia]

I hadn’t heard of the Unbrush. I’ve seen it before though and I agree. Water can get in the D38 brush, and it can be hard to get it to fully dry for the next wash day. I’m eventually going to have to give that brush a try. I love a good tool ❤️

[@positive647]

I also started combining my rinse out with my deep conditioner, which to my surprise gave me a boost to the moisture. I sit under a hair steamer, which I have incorporated in my routine for years and simply enjoy. I also like the No. 38 paddle brush, I just recently switched to the Charlotte Mensah Medium Paddle Brush, which my hair enjoys more than the No. 38.

[@friedchicken892]

Do you steam every week? And Yess deep conditioners are good but sometimes I feel their not the best for detangling

[@positive647]

For the most part. I sometimes use a hot conditioning cap. Depending on which conditioner you use (some are more easy to use for detangling than others).

[@BrittanyMia]

It is a great boost to the DC. Like a cocktail conditioner. I’ve never heard of the Charlotte Mensan paddle brush. I’ll have to look into it.

[@lisafunchessrealtor]

Your hair is beautiful

[@BrittanyMia]

🫶🏾

[@Erika-lv6lh]

Happy to see you're enjoying the system. I've only used 0&3. My curls are tighter afterwards. I will eventually try the others once i use more of my stash. As for the brush, next time try to use it vertically to detangle to see if it works better. Good luck.

[@BrittanyMia]

I’ve tried to use the brush vertically on those sections, but the grip is tough when it comes to the top of my head. I’ll keep trying and see how I can use it.

[@lunaflowers7992]

Your hair is gorgeous! I love how Black hair is different on each person. I have a similar haircut to you, but my hair is more wavy and has about 3 different textures on my head. I also have colour so Olaplex is a must for me. Olaplex is really worth it. I have a hard time with the smell of 0. It hits me hard. Perhaps I have a sensitivity. I never sure of how much to spray since the product comes out in one thin stream. 😕

[@BrittanyMia]

Thank you! I know, I love black hair for that reason exactly. We are so different and everything works so differently in our hair and it’s so much fun to test out different things. Same with OlaPlex. I don’t have a sensitivity to the smell but I don’t know how much of the number zero to use so I just use a lot lol.

[@ossier2796]

I left the 0 on for 10min and then I added the 3 and I left it on for 10min. I shampooed with a clarifying shampoo and then my moisturizing shampoo and conditioner then styled with UFD and ICH.

[@venaetheartist8067]

Hmmmmmmm 🤔🤔... you've got me considering looking into Olaplex.... Great video!

[@BrittanyMia]

You should! I’m loving it so far.

[@WhatTheKink]

Using the brush vertically and keeping the hair stretched with your free hand as you brush with the other, may ease a bit of the detangling issues.

[@BrittanyMia]

Thanks for the tip

[@ossier2796]

Was your hair damp when you applied the 0? I used the 0 for the first time today and the 3 on top. I’ve used the 3 alone before. I used it on my 5day wash and go, maybe the next time I’ll wash my hair first.

[@clenasmavanklompenberg6524]

[@psr076]

Hi ! It seems tha Olaplex well works for your hair. I haven't tried any of their products yet. I have this brush and you're right about it beeing diffficult to use in section that are rough (I need to finger detangle before). I've been thinking of purchasing the Felecia's brush (I have an online shop in my city who sells it for 27$, we're in Canada) . Since you tried both brush, do you still prefer the Felecia ?

[@BrittanyMia]

Hey! Yes, I still prefer the FL brush. It's easier to detangle all of my hair, including the crown, than it is with the D38.

[@samanthajones3049]

The shedding from olaplex for me was a full stop. I never will use 3 again, but thr clarifying shampoo is great.

[@BrittanyMia]

I’m sorry that happened to you! I personally have an experienced and a shedding, but I agree, stop immediately If you see shedding.

[@lillymakonnen]

You have pretty hair! I might consider using olaplex products but it seems expensive to have all of them. Have you tried ouidad curl quencher hydrafusion intense curl cream? It’s expensive but makes hair so soft immediately. Moroccan oil curl defining cream does the same, but since I’m poor I stick to my $5 Cantu cream :)

[@BrittanyMia]

Thanks 😊 I think the main products needed are the shampoo, conditioner and the number 3. Not yet I haven’t tried it!

[@lillymakonnen]

@@BrittanyMia You’re welcome!

[@blacksunlight2618]

I've only bought Olaplex 3 & 0 once and used it three times. The outcome on the first two uses was quite impressive although due to the elasticity it restores to the hair it definitely made my hair much tighter which made it a bit of a struggle to take the braids down after I washed my hair. My hair is 4b and quite long. I never use heat or combs in my hair, so in general it's not damaged, but I think it is high porosity. The take down was quite stressful due to the tightness which matted the braids I keep in every time I wash my hair. But once the braids were finally unravelled I felt a massive difference in the integrity of my hair strands, so I thought it was worth it. The second time I only left the products on for 10 minutes and used a moisturising cleanser and moisturising deep conditioner after the treatment. The take down was much easier and my hair felt great afterwards. However the 3rd time was hell and I feel like I won't buy it again and will explore alternatives. The 3rd time my hair was super matted and tangled and I experienced quite a lot of breakage. It was quite scary especially towards the ends of my strands and some weird dreaded knots near the roots. It took me hours to detangle and salvage as much as I could. But after a couple of days of more detangling and moisturising after my hair was dry it seemed that the integrity of my hair strands were restored and I experienced similar benefits to the first couple of times I used it. But I still had to give my ends a good trim and I don't plan to repurchase. It felt like I had severe protein overload, but for the past two years I have stopped using products with protein in between wash days. I would never use two protein rich products at the same time and I would never use it more than once every couple of months. I know Olaplex is not protein, but it has similar effects. So that's my experience. I would caution care wiyh this product for women with long type 4 hair as the longer the hair strands the more susceptibility to tangling when the hair shrinks up on itself, which is what Olaplex does when it restores the elasticity.

[@BrittanyMia]

Thanks for sharing your experience!! I like hearing how these products work for other people. Sorry to hear about your third experience, hope you didn’t have to trim too much.

[@blacksunlight2618]

@@BrittanyMia thanks for your reply! Luckily I didn't have to do a big chop, but I did have to trim quite a lot, which was quite disappointing. The upside though, is that trimming always makes the hair grow back thicker and stronger, just because when there are more strands that are the same length overall the hair has more integrity. In this instance the added benefit from the olaplex treatment is that because it also works to strengthen the hair generally, it will mean more length retention when it grows back. So from now onwards I will just go for gentler protein treatments on wash day, that have strengthening, detangling and smoothing properties which makes it much easier to take down my braids. In the past I found the l'occitaine body and strength treatment to be excellent for this and the bonus is that it only has to be left on for 3 minutes. I can instantly feel the smoothing detangling effects as soon as it's applied. The other one that is also excellent is the original shea moisture hemp seed and mongongo oil high porosity mask, although this is not so easy to find nowadays. My hair is past my shoulders and the further away the strands grown from the scalp the more care one has to take with the lower ends to minimise breakage, tension and tangling. I'm always amazed when I see women with type 4 hair dragging combs, brushes, tangle teezers etc through the ends of their hair. My hair would just break off and die!

Hi 👋🏾, i have low porosity 4b hair. I was wondering if you could help me with this? After doing a quick wash and go, the too part of my hair seems to always be frizzy and look a hot mess. Is there anything you can share to help with this?

[@BrittanyMia]

From my experience, when I have frizz at the top of my hair that means that I didn’t condition thoroughly, I need to deep condition, or I need to use more water and/or product in that section. I’m not a professional hairstylist by any means, but these are things that have helped me with frizz in the top part of my hair. Hope that helps.

[@morrisahj]

I’m going to start using a few other cheaper “bonding” shampoos/conditioners hopefully with good result also 🤞 They really don’t tend to sell any of them in larger sizes

[@mrod87]

I use a brand called Nutree and they have a bond builder called Hair Botox, i like it a lot. I find it takes the frizz out my hair when used regularly, u do need to use heat on the hair to get it to work.

[@shannonmichelle1485]

Just curious why you didn’t go in with the #4 shampoo after #0&3? Why did you go back in with another round of clarifying, is there a specific reason?

[@BrittanyMia]

No specific reason. I just picked it up without thinking about it.

[@Muslimah33]

What do you use on the weeks that you don’t use olaplex?

[@BrittanyMia]

I’ll either use a protein deep conditioner or a moisturizing deep conditioner. Since the OlaPlex No 8 is moisturizing, in the middle of the week when I wash my hair next I’ll use a protein deep conditioner. Then that next Sunday or Saturday I’ll use a moisturizing deep conditioner again. It just depends on how my hair is feeling though.

[@user-bf5tx2wv5p]

How long do you keep the no 8 on

[@BrittanyMia]

30 minutes to an hour

[@marieree5096]

I thought u use no.0 , then. No.3 and use Shampoo?

[@BrittanyMia]

So I shampoo beforehand, because I don’t feel like the number zero is really doing its job on dirty hair.

[@ladinahendricks8038]

Your hair looks great but you are actually suppose to use steps 0&3 before you wash your hair. Just an fyi for future use. I just started using them and love it

[@BrittanyMia]

Thanks, but that’s not how I use it. The website, says you can use it after shampooing, which would be more advantageous since your hair would be clean and able to accept the product better.

[@Neesha242]

I wonder if it’s because it has silicones and I’m about to start using silicones again since Im more knowledgeable about my hair. I’m trying to get rid of all this product build up and detox hair before I do so my curls can pop

[@BrittanyMia]

Most likely. I don't follow any curly girl methods so i'm down for the silicones. It's all about the formulation of the products, and the OlaPlex NC4 cleanses my hair thoroughly.

[@lisafunchessrealtor]

Have you tried Curlsmith Bond Salve?

Not yet. It’s on my list to purchase, but I won’t be buying it until literally black Friday because I’m stocked up on hella products right now.

@@BrittanyMia It's worth the coins. I use monthly to strengthen my hair. I think it has more slip than Olaplex but I think the results are very similiar with less steps and money. Check out an Ultra sale when available.

Love olaplex but the bottle for the no. 0 is the worst! I’ve been pouring it into a 360 mist bottle before spraying it on my hair. I use a lot less product that way

[@biloushka8437]

Hello! Please don't do that. Olaplex specifically didn't use a mister type bottle to prevent the inhalation of the product. They had released a statement about that.

[@BrittanyMia]

It’s not so bad if you start it directly at the scalp and then work your way down. At first I was wasting it because I was focusing on my mids to ends and it was dripping a lot. Now that I spray directly on my scalp and work my way down I waste a lot less product. Hope that helps.
