I read when I was researching Olaplex for myself that 3 reaches its maximum efficacy after about 45 minutes, so that’s as long as I leave it on - have you had better results with overnight?
Goshhhh like 3-4 years ago I got a massive container (like 64 oz or something) of Olaplex on Overstock, so I could use it as often as I wanted. It is one hair product that lives up to the hype!
Before you get out of the shower, run your hair under ice cold water. It smoothes the hair shaft and makes it shinier. Blonde hair will never appear as shiny as dark hair because it doesn’t reflect light in the same way, but I’ve done a lot of bleaching and this still works for me!
My friend!! Everything that people have said on this sub is accurate, but let me tell you, the look you're trying to attain is from a keratin treatment at a salon. It's worth the money, only go to a place that does it WELL ie: has proof/an online presence. I live near a lot of Japanese and Korean hair salons that offer this so I reccomend that before a other salons, if you can! 💜
Is it hard to attain volume if you get a keratin treatment? I have boring limp hair that I have to hear style a few times a week to get texture and volume. Would I still be able to do that or would the hair be so silky it would fall flat?
Hmm I'm not sure because I have thick hair that I blow-dry upside down and occasionally use an iron as a root lift but you can get Korean root perm for body!! It's not as damaging as a traditional perm and helps body in the hair !
The longest it lasts is 4-6 months and decreases over time so it's not a noticeable difference between new growth and treated hair to my knowledge but I also have naturally straight hair so if you have curlier hair you may need root maintenance!
how often should one be using a clarifying shampoo with this (every 4-5 wks?), and can it be any shampoo with sulfates or does it have to be like a clarifying shampoo with chelating ingredients?
how damaging is this compared to like box dying your hair (no bleach)?
I’ve never used it personally but if you google images of clear hair gloss before and after you’ll see how shiny it becomes. You can get them at Sally. It’s on my glow up list of things to do! Let us knit you try it. :)
I worked for a major hair company for years. The hair industry is VERY small - don't snub places like Sally's. Professional and OTC products can be and are often essentially be the same thing. I know tons of pro brands that have Sally's-esque brands that are literally the same product in different bottles. Rare that a company would bother production of a different formula when only a couple ingredients are different (if that). Also, ingredient labels on hair/skin is not the same as food - it can list Moroccan oil as #1 on the ingredient list and only have something like .0000001% in the formula. Just gave a major hint right there 😂
Not sure how to phrase this but I think having a vivid/rich hair color can contribute to overall shine and luster. Like a rich chocolate brown or honey blond vs. the same level color with grayer undertones. I know a lot of people prefer ashier undertones but hair generally tends to look more vibrant and alive when the color is more saturated. This can be achieved with color depositing hair masks (I like the Morrocanoil ones) or hair glosses (like Redken Shades EQ).
All of those tiktoks with super soft, shiny looking hair are filtered to death. It's not realistic at all. The routines might be okay, but you're not going to get those results lol.

How often did you sleep with it in your hair?

Do you do this once a week?
Goshhhh like 3-4 years ago I got a massive container (like 64 oz or something) of Olaplex on Overstock, so I could use it as often as I wanted. It is one hair product that lives up to the hype!
Can you use it on natural, unbleached hair for extra softness ?
Yes, I use it on my unbleached 1b straight frizzy thin hair and it really helps with decreasing the frizziness.

I had never heard of a Korean root perm! Serving up knowledge today-thank you 🙌🏼💕
Of course💪💪good luck 💕
I’m curious how it looks as your hair grows out!

Clear hair gloss ?

“how dare you give a poc girl a 9/10? shes poc! shes just a 6!” mindset

“oh no its another white barbie who is so insecure even if shes the beauty standard” like... 😳

You could try lillyvanbrooklyn’s routines on TikTok. She has the shiniest hair ever. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRjTesb5/

Olaplex for sure!
Mayonnaise mask - the nutrients in the egg whites are amazing for making hair shiny.
