Personally the way I saw the devacurl damage lawsuit back then is... When a brand gets bigger and bought by a bigger corporation, there will be changes made somewhere along the production line to accommodate for the extra demand. I don't think it's unlikely that something went wrong (maybe a bad supplier? An accident with improper storage? Something else?) and that some batches of products actually did get spoiled and cause damage. I remember many people assuming it was all simply hair loss caused by buildup but it's really difficult to armchair diagnose such a thing if you haven't seen someone's daily routine up close. Olaplex, on the other hand, is a specialty product that requires at least a basic understanding of hair science to use properly - THAT is a product I can believe that people are using improperly and causing damage as a result. I still don't like siding with companies over consumers (because in the end most companies will come out of a lawsuit with little more than a fine and a slap on the wrist), but at least I can see how this could have been caused by improper product use

THANK YOU. I use Olapex daily and have for 4 years because I bleach my hair platinum and have curly hair. MY 👏 HAIR 👏 IS 👏 HEALTHIER 👏 BECAUSE 👏 OF 👏 IT 👏 These are alleged injuries right now, so before everyone goes alllllll crazy accusing Olaplex for damaging peoples hair WAIT TO SEE IF THE LAWSUIT STICKS. This product has been used thousands and thousands of times and 30 people have said it damaged their hair? If it turns out to be that they bought their products on discount from Amazon and NOT from a certified retailer I'm going to lose it. Devacurls lawsuit did actually turn into a settlement so.... I'm just saying 🤷 (I also use Devacurls products) Just wait until the lawsuit is finished before publicly ridiculing the company

Yea I don’t think the Deva Curl lawsuit is a fair comparison to Olaplex. I used to be a hair stylist of 7 years and I definitely think it should’ve only remained available to professionals because of the reasons you stated. There was 100% something wrong on the manufacturer’s end at Deva Curl because you don’t need a hair stylist to use their products. Also, they blamed customers hair build up when they had a clarifying product so that’s dumb. I lost about 1/3 of my hair to DC products and also had scalp irritation. I’m good now but literally thousands of women have the same and worse chronic issues due to DC products. There’s no other explanation and it’s so annoying that their products are still sold in stores.

She does this with seasonal routine updates. She’ll use these products as a “Spring routine” because it’s sponsored and then I will never see her use them again. It’s very frustrating

I think what I most dislike about my curly hair journey is the money and time spent on ineffective products. I have donated manyvand still have a drawer full of stuff I wont ever use. What I like best is figuring out what products give the best results at any point in time. I finally realized that just because something worked beautifully last year doesn't mean I should buy multiples because things change...including how my hair behaves.

I got sucked into using olaplex by some curly hair videos. But I have low porosity hair and I instantly realized it did absolutely nothing for me. It’s a product for people with damaged and high porosity hair. It’s very important to know what type of hair you have and buy products based on that. Don’t just buy whatever an influencer is using.

I know I am a bit late on this comment, but thank you for addressing your hair changing. I always identified with my very curly hair. One day someone said my hair was more wavy than curly! I went home and cried and realized just how much my hair had changed. You are right that we need to change up our routines to suit our current hair. I totally quit coloring several years ago and now have super white hair with nice big curls. My routine is very different now and suits my fine white hair and enhances the curl. never get tired of the compliments.

Regarding the olaplex lawsuit, I will say this: People *will* have allergic reactions to otherwise safe products. I've had this experience twice and it is super frustrating when it happens, but it isn't necessarily on the manufacturerer. If you're someone who tends to get reactions, it is absolutely vital to patchtest any new products, be they hair care, skin care, make up or literally anything that goes on your body.

I then finish with the AG mousse gel or liquid effect gel. Then I diffuse. I personally don’t do much brush styling because my hair has a tendency to clump into giant curls and the mousse seems to encourage good clumping. I use ghost verb oil to scrunch out the crunch and on non-wash days to tame a little frizz. If I need to refresh, I just use a little water and the mousse (the NYM curl talk mousse is also great)

Dear All/Mell, I bought the Denman detangling brush (for fine fragile hair) and in my opinion it is much kinder and effective than the Tangle Teaser or Wet brush. It can be used on wet or dry hair. My hair is elderly, fine, coloured and thinning so I am paranoid about losing the few strands that I have left, however, this brush is so gentled glides through my knotty hair. I bought on the recommendation of my hairdresser.

It's so funny because I actually finally got olaplex for the first time *after* I heard about the lawsuit. I have wavy hair and I'm altogether too lazy to try to maintain waves/curls between wash days, so my hair takes a ton of mechanical and heat damage because of my preferred styling methods. I could tell after the first use that I won't need to use olaplex 3 more than once a week, and may end up going down to twice a month. But I could also tell there was an immediate difference. I think it'll be a staple for me, at least for a while.

Yup, it's too expensive to use more than once a month for me BUT I would use it once a week if I could afford it. That stuff is AMAZING. My hair is color damaged, dry and bleached blonde and Olaplex #3 gave my hair life again. Before I used it my curls were not even curls they looked like I used a crimping iron. After one use of Olaplex 3 I went from 2b/2c to 3A with spirals and ringlets for the first time in my life. Not only that but my hair is soft for first time in my life. I swear by that stuff!

I think the main problem with Olaplex x Deva is that Deva had a lot of plant extracts, which can change, degrade, answer to the environment a lot more than olaplex. From my memory, Olaplex doesn't carry any substance (save it patented molecule) that isn't being used in other products. The problem may have come of new people leaving it too much time on their hair. I know. I once left it on my hair for 24h to see if anything would go different from my usual 1h. I am using mine just fine, but I am moving away to Elizavecca CER-100 because the hype is real for this product. However, let's hope it was a problem with a batch instead of something else.

The thing with olaplex is that it was being recommended to *everyone.* I'm on haircare reddit and no matter what someone's problem was, the top comment was to use olaplex. Split ends? Olaplex. Frizz? Olaplex. Dry ends? Olaplex. Olaplex is great if you have extreme chemical damage, but it is *not* a cure-all. Imo it's not even moisturizing. I'm not surprised people were experiencing breakage and buildup. That's what happens when you overuse repair products on relatively healthy hair.

Omg I wish this had come out 3 weeks ago! I JUST bought a Denman brush and was so excited to start brush styling for the first time ever. Quickly (and painfully) learned it's not for detangling, and still had a lot of comb force on my hair even when styling after totally brushed out! 😭 wondering what to try next... would love one brush that did it all for my fine wavy-curly hair! I have been using a wet brush for detangling....

Great informational video. So true what I used to use before I don’t use because my hair is pretty healthy. I haven’t used Olaplex 3 in over six months. I do love the serum one. I do use that every couple of washes. I guess that’s why I don’t use a lot of my old favorites. Edited to add this: I also stopped using the Denman Brush to style my hair, but since my hair is pretty healthy I use my fingers to rake and praying hands to smooth. Also, since I’ve had major Covid hair loss I want more volume than definition.

Olaplex 3 is the best product for my hair. I swear by it! It's the one product I cannot live without with drastic results for my color damaged, dry and bleached hair. I went from crimped looking dry waves to 3A ringlets and spirals for first time in my life. I would use it more if I could afford it but the price keeps me from overusing. Once a month for me but I need it more often for sure!

Basically, I want the Rouvectin cleanser, but in shampoo form 😂😂

I've been having my hair professionally pre-lightened and direct dyed for almost 7 years now. Unfortunately, during quarantine times, I did it MYSELF AT HOME TWICE over that first year. During the second pre-lightening, I ran out of lightener and had my family member buy me more from the grocery store, and THEN on top of that, found out my cousin was dying. That lightener was on my roots for somewhere between 4-6 HOURS that day. Shockingly, none of my hair broke off that day, or in the first year after, but now those roots are my mid-shaft/ends since I'm a quick-growing wavy girl at shoulder length. I'm constantly trying to find the right balance of products that do equal parts of protection of my Pulp Riot direct dye salon color, repair to my breaking mid-shaft, and improvement of my waves’ definition and shine. Olaplex No. 3 has been in my routine since Christmas, but I don't know if it's helping on its own. I use the conditioner, but the shampoo removes too much of my beloved fashion colors! I really put myself in a pickle.

Everytime I seethe verb reset line, I get PTSD flashbacks to the worst contact dermatitis of my LIFE 😮😬 My scalp had never been so freaking red & raw, with a rash in certain spots.... It was awful. I will say that I left a review about it on the verb website & they gave me a full refund for the reset line even though it was past 30 days (I had held onto the products for a few weeks before using them). Their customer service was top notch but I'm too scared to use any of their other shampoos or conditioners. The stylers (curl cream & curl foaming gel) are fine, I'm just extra careful not to let the cream touch my scalp cuz for all I know it was the synthetic fragrance that did the harm🤷🏽‍♀️(yes I know not to put cream in my scalp anyways, but I'm just saying I'm SUPER careful when scrunching that I'm not accidentally pressing into my scalp with that product on there. I haven't had any issues though)

Great video. I'm still using that orange bonnet. The price is right and it's so comfortable. One of mine has gotten a little too loose and I'm making it tighter with bobby pins till I have a chance to sew it. I haven't found an adjustable bonnet that fits comfortably and doesn't slip over my eyes uncomfortably. Still using my Denman brush, but I've been on the fence about it. I get mixed results styling with it, it's probably partly cause I can't seem to master the technique. 😉 (I use a different brush - or my fingers - for detangling.) Haven't switched cause I don't want to spend a fortune trying different brushes.
