Lidl's new Olaplex dupes are £50 cheaper & ‘transform hair in 4 washes' as shoppers say dry locks are now ‘soft & shiny'

The Irish Sun19-05-2025

DRY strands, split ends, flyaways, frizziness and unrelenting tangling - they're all signs of damaged hair.
And while some people spend hundreds - sometimes even thousands - on restoring their tresses, one woman has claimed that Lidl's latest haircare dupes will 'transform' brittle strands in just four washes.

Samantha Roobottom, a content creator, revealed in an Instagram reel that the budget supermarket's Olaplex dupes are worth their weight in gold.
She picked up the Bond Repair No 1 shampoo and No 2 conditioner, which cost just £3.29 each.
And once she'd taken them for a shower spin, Samantha deduced that they worked better than Olaplex's £28 original versions.
'I randomly picked this shampoo and conditioner up from Lidl and thought that it looked similar to the Olaplex ones,' she penned in the caption.

'Having been so happy with my dupe soaps and diffusers from there, I decided to give it a go - and oh my goodness.
'My dry hair has completely transformed in just four washes.
'I can't get over how soft, manageable and shiny it is!
'I don't want to gatekeep this - I want to scream it from the rooftops.'

Samantha added that she 'can't believe the condition' of her hair.
Both of the Lidl dupes cost £6.58 to buy together, while the Olaplex originals cost £56 to buy as a pair, meaning a saving of £49.42.
Olaplex was originally a professional-only product used in salons during colour treatments - namely for those with bleach damage - which made it feel very exclusive.
Over time, the brand expanded into retail, offering its products for at-home use.
But with most products from the luxury brand's Bond Treatment System costing over £20, it wasn't long before
Other brands with Bond dupes are Aldi and Primark.

Tesco's Irish and UK sales growth accelerates in first quarter

Tesco has reported a pick-up in underlying sales growth in its first quarter and won market share from rivals, saying improvements in value, product quality and service had chimed with consumers. The group, whose share of Britain's grocery market has grown this year to 28%, a level not seen since 2016, said today its UK like-for-like sales rose 5.1% in the 13 weeks to May 24, having been up 4.3% in the previous quarter. Its Irish sales rose by 5.5% to £772m and it said it continued to see growth in market share to reach 23.3% - which marked 40 consecutive four-week periods of share gains. Tesco said its Irish food sales rose by 5.8%, with volume growth supported by continued investment in its fresh proposition. Its Irish fresh food range received 10 Monde Selection awards, it added. The retailer said it saw growth across all channels in Ireland, led by online with sales up 19.8% on the back of the launch of same-day Click & Collect and home delivery last year Tesco said its group sales were £16.4 billion, up 4.6% on a like-for-like basis. "Our continued commitment to delivering great value, quality and service for our customers has contributed to like-for-like sales growth across all parts of the Group," CEO Ken Murphy said. But he cautioned that the market "remains intensely competitive". Tesco said it still expected to report adjusted operating profit of between £2.7 billion and £3 billion in the year ending February 2026, down from the £3.13 billion achieved in 2024/25. The group said in April it expected profit to fall in its 2025/26 year as it set aside cash to deal with a step up in the "competitive intensity" of the UK grocery market. This marked a reference to a pledge of sustained price cuts from Asda, Britain's third biggest supermarket group, which has been losing market share. Most analysts think Tesco's strategy of matching the prices of discounter Aldi on hundreds of key items, together with heavy promotion of its Clubcard loyalty scheme, which provides lower prices for members, is working well. Tesco is also becoming increasingly digital, stepping up personalised engagement with customers and developing growth avenues such as its online Marketplace platform and retail media. Shares in Tesco are up 27% over the last year.
