  1. Can you write a post on Olaplex? Your thoughts etc. I want to try it on my natural hair. Some ladies on the forum are saying it reversed their heat damage.

    1. Sure. I will be working on the Olaplex topic for a future post! Olaplex is a conditioning additive that has been around for at least a year. I felt it was a trend that would not last long, but it seems to be still in full effect. As far as the definition of reversing heat damage, I assume that the meaning is that straight pieces of hair are becoming more curly. I will revisit the technology behind Olaplex again.

  2. Olaplex is described as a multi-bonder. I often find that pure protein treatments often boost the curl pattern in natural hair. I assume that Olaplex does about the same thing. From my understanding the results only last until the Olaplex treatment wears off. Damaged hair will return to damaged hair. I still do not plan to invest in the Olaplex at this time. I think that it is very safe to try especially if a protein treatment does not achieve the desired results.
