As per the brand's site, "You can utilize Olaplex to reestablish bargained hair, or add it to another help to give a definitive breakage protection." But what precisely does that mean?

The Olaplex item you find in stores is the Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector, which contains the littlest measure of the dynamic fixing, says Hammer, alongside a combination of molding specialists.
It doesn't add a lot of time to the shading cycle, particularly when No.1 Bond Multiplier is added straightforwardly to the tone or fade, as Outen inclines toward in light of the fact that that permits it to be taken straightforwardly into the center of the hair strands. At that point, "No.2 Bond Perfector will be applied to the hair when the sanitizer or shading is washed off and left on for 20 minutes," Outen clarifies.
