How to Use Olaplex For the Best Hair Growth Results | Olaplex No 0, Olaplex No 3, Olaplex No 6 & 7

hey guys welcome back to my channel or welcome if you are new here and if that's the case i'm really glad to have you here we're going to be talking about olaplex today and if you have been around for a while or you've watched some of my more recent haircare videos and you probably already know i love olaplex with my whole heart i love this brand they have amazing products for damage repair and i feel like i recommend them to every single person that's in need of that that asks what they should use but even though i love them very very much i do feel like some of their products are a little bit confusing to figure out how to weave into a weekly haircare routine especially if you don't wash your hair every single day like me as a once a week hair washer plus with the rise and popularity of this brand i feel like i've started to see a lot of little hacks pop up for easier ways to use these products and i have been really curious about them so i feel like i've seen so many comments and questions and suggestions about this like is it true that i can leave number three on my hair overnight is that actually going to benefit my hair even more or could that damage my hair is it true that with number seven if you apply that before using heat that that's actually going to fry your hair and make heat damage worse for number zero can you add that to a spray bottle to make it easier to apply so i thought i would just reach out to the brand myself and ask all of these questions plus even more so that is exactly what we're going to be talking through here today this is not going to be a sit-down review of all of all the plexus products because i've already done that so if you haven't seen that yet i will link that below if you want some background this is going to be a follow-up to that talking through the most effective ways to use their products to make sure that you're actually getting bang for your buck and olaplex's thoughts on some of these kind of hacks that have popped up and if they get their stamp of approval or if they say don't apply the products that way so if you want to hear about that you're in the right spot we're going to jump right into that before we do if you like hair care content skincare content or you like just hanging out with me definitely make sure to give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel that really helps to support me and make sure that my videos are recommended to others and you should come hang out with me on instagram and tick tock my username is also abby young on those platforms which is right here for you all right let's talk golaplex okay so we're just gonna go right down the numbered row here we have number zero number three number six and number seven we're not gonna include number four and five in this video that is their shampoo and conditioner those are pretty straightforward can't really mess those up so if you wanna hear my thoughts on those and see the formulation again that's in my previous review but these products right here are definitely the ones that i've seen the most questions on and most kind of suggestions on different ways to use it the hacks if you will so let's start off with number zero so this is called their intensive bond building hair treatment and this is their latest launch and it was specifically designed to be used with number three as a primer for number three so i feel like people were kind of confused about this like what is this even really for do i need that if i'm using number three you don't need it to use number three but it is supposed to make the benefits of number three even better by priming the hair so that number three can be pulled deeper into the hair so again you don't have to use it if you wanted to use number three but if you feel like you're in serious serious need of some intensive damage repair then this could be really helpful to you so how you're supposed to use this is saturate it all over the hair leave it on for 10 minutes and then go ahead and apply number three after that in my opinion this is definitely the trickiest product to use because you're supposed to fully saturate your hair so that it's completely wet for number three to be applied on top of but all you have to work with is this little opening right here the tip of the bottle and it's just really hard to get that evenly all over the hair so the hack that i have seen suggested the most about this product by far is to add it to a spray bottle so i asked olaplex about that can this be added to a spray bottle to spray all over the hair what are your thoughts on that and they actually do not recommend doing that they specifically said that olaplex is not designed to be airborne and that was kind of it on that so they didn't give a lot of color around why exactly that is but i am sure it's some sort of inhalation safety issue eye safety issue so that's all i'm going to say on that i have not tried that for that reason it just makes me nervous i'm like we're not supposed to be spraying that i'm just not gonna mess with it so i don't actually use this product anymore because i feel like i don't need it right now but i think where it could be really helpful is if you've just gotten your hair bleached or you have really severe damage from heat or something else it could be a really nice plus to the number three but i haven't continued to use it because i think it's kind of tricky to use so the other question that i've seen about this is can i just immediately apply number three to the hair after using this do i have to wait the 10 minutes really what's that going to do but yes you do actually have to wait 10 minutes you can't just put this on right away because it needs 10 minutes to fully absorb into the hair so that i can actually work properly so those are the little tips and tricks for number zero not an ideal situation obviously you can do what you would like for application but that is the brand's two cents on that let's move on to number three which is their hair perfector so this is supposed to repair the hair and prevent future breakage and this i would say is the most confusing product to figure out how to use in your weekly hair care routine so what they recommend on the back of the bottle is to use before shampooing and to use it up to three times a week depending on the level of damage that you have or you can just use it once a week if it's not that severe they say to apply it on damp towel dried hair before you shampoo apply a generous amount from scalp to ends until the hair is fully saturated leave it on for a minimum of 10 minutes longer if desired then rinse from the hair follow up with shampoo and conditioner let's just start off with the bang and talk about the hack that everyone seems to be talking about with this product lately which is to leave it on the hair overnight i've seen so many comments saying oh my gosh try leaving that on the hair overnight the results are insane and so much better than if you just leave it on for 10 minutes so the brand is pretty vague about the 10 minutes or how long you should really leave it on the hair because they just say 10 minutes or longer so i asked what does longer mean and what they said is that this actually loses its effectiveness around 30 to 40 minutes and in order for number three to work on the hair the hair needs to be damp or in order for it to work effectively the hair needs to be wet or damp so once it dries that efficacy diminishes so while you can technically leave it on the hair overnight it's not going to damage the hair it shouldn't be doing much more for your hair than if you were to just leave it on for 40 minutes and then rinse it off after so of course if you disagree with that and you feel like you've seen a big difference in leaving it on the hair overnight versus just that 40 minutes then to each their own i'm not here to try to say that that's not true for you but i have tried to leave it on the hair overnight and i don't feel like there is that much of a difference for me the next morning versus if i just use this for about 40 minutes or while my hair is still wet i don't really think i noticed a difference and i have tried it many times so you can keep doing that if you would like to but technically it shouldn't really be doing much more for you the next question with number three is definitely one that i have been the most curious about as a once a week hair washer is okay what if our hair is dirty we have product build up do we have to clean our hair first and shampoo first in order for number three to actually work or is it true that we can just use it before shampooing no matter what like it says on the back of the label so what olaplex said about this is that you don't have to shampoo your hair before olaplex 3 will still work on the hair if the hair has build up but it's going to work the best and most effectively if you do shampoo the hair first so for those of you that were asking in my last hair washing routine if the fact that i apply this on top of the hair oils that i sleep in would affect olaplex number three working on my hair it does it's not going to work as well as it possibly can but that's how i've been using this product for months at this point i feel like almost a year and i feel that i've still seen really really nice results and using it so for what it's worth as someone who washes once a week and uses this on dirty hair it still works for me in that way but again if you feel like you need serious damage repair maybe consider shampooing first then applying it leaving it on for 10 minutes and rinsing it off and then last question for number three is similar to number zero but kind of a three-part question so can you put this in a spray bottle to make it easier to apply i've seen a lot of people suggesting that by either adding a little bit of water or maybe a little bit of number zero to make it slightly more liquidy still no there to the spray bottle thing so that's not just a number zero issue across the board olaplex says don't make our stuff airborne please if you wanted to make this a little bit more liquidy so it's easier for you to evenly spread throughout the hair you can add a little bit of water actually no concerns with that but you don't want to add number zero because this needs to sit on the hair on dry hair for 10 minutes first so that is it for number three let's move on to number six which is their bond smoother so on the back they say to apply a very small amount and to concentrate it on the mid length to ends comb through and style as desired so slightly different than number three and this is something that i used to use when i was first testing it out after i washed my hair and before i blow-dried it as a blow-dry primer i found that in doing that while i didn't hate it i wasn't obsessed with the way that my hair looked on those days because it kind of weighed down my hair a little bit my hair while i have a lot of it is very fine so it's weighed down easily and it makes sense because this is such a concentrated product i mean it's not like a deep conditioning heavyweight mask but for the products that i'm used to using on blow dry day much thicker than that so if you watched my latest favorites video then you already know how i have been loving using this and that is actually overnight oh my goodness i would highly recommend doing that so this is different than number three and the fact that it can be applied to dry hair and it doesn't need to be on damp hair in order to work so i've been using this about i would say mid-week once i hit around day four i'm starting to feel kind of gross and dirty my ends are a little bit frazzled feeling a little bit dry and i need some extra conditioning i have been applying this with a few drops of this which is their number seven bonding oil and that combination makes my hair feel like butter the next day it's amazing and of course aside from it just making my hair feel really good i'm getting the bond repair benefit in there so oh my gosh oh my gosh you have to try using this overnight and then two more quick questions about this the first is if you were to use it on damp hair is this good enough as a heat protectant and while it does give you some heat protection it's actually not all the way up to 450 degrees which is what a lot of blow dryers and curling irons go up to these days so they do recommend using a separate heat protectant with it and then the other question that i've seen for this is can i use it every day if i can use it on dry hair is that going to benefit my hair further and while you can do that there's no reason that you can't it's not going to damage your hair if you do that you aren't necessarily going to see further benefit because this is supposed to work for 72 hours so you shouldn't need to use it every single day every few days will suffice okay and then last is number seven which is their bonding oil definitely not as many questions or comments or suggestions about this one because an oil is definitely more straightforward i think than some of these other products but what i have seen a lot on tik tok about this is that it's actually going to fry your hair if you use it before you use heat styling products i've seen that so many times like don't use that before heat it's going to fry your hair really really damage it but that is not true this is actually a heat protectant and this does provide heat protection up to 450 degrees so if you're able to use these together and make sure that your hair is evenly covered that would give you the heat protection that you need i think that it's a little bit too difficult for me to apply these products evenly all over given the fact that this is so much thicker than i typically would like a product like that to be to make sure that i'm getting adequate heat protection so i always use a spray first you guys know my curology multitasking spray that thing's amazing it's going to detangle but it also adds heat protection just just so that i'm not taking any gambles but if you did use this before styling and you don't feel that it weighs down your hair in combination with number six then false that this is going to fry your hair that is not true it will actually protect your hair from heat damage and if you were to use this before styling you could do the same thing that i do overnight just apply a few drops to this mix it together and i do find that that makes it easier to apply for sure because this adds that little bit of liquid that this needs to just be spread evenly throughout the hair so those are all the questions that i asked olaplex about for you guys i really hope for those of you that have found this a little bit confusing and you weren't fully sure how to properly use these products in your routine that this helped to clear some of that up because i was even confused with some of these products and it's nice to have clear answers straight from the source because i feel like there are so many suggestions online and so many of them contradict one another that i just wanted to hear from olaplex themselves so you definitely can find some of the things that i talked about on their website in their faq section but i still feel like i saw so many of these questions over and over that it would be worth just making a video on and letting you guys know once and for all what willplex had to say so let me know your thoughts in the comments below if you currently use olaplex do you feel like you're going to switch things up a little bit after watching this video or are you going to try oloplex after watching this i'll have all the products listed in my description box below if you are interested in purchasing but other than that that is everything and my next video will be up in a few days so stay tuned for that but until then i hope you have a great few days
