Leading bond-building haircare brand Olaplex has just launched two new products designed to not only strengthen and repair fine hair but also add volume and bounce
Olaplex hair products – in particular the iconic No.3 Hair Perfector treatment – are loved worldwide for their ability to strength, repair and rebuild strands, especially if you regular colour or heat-style your hair. Olaplex also makes a brilliant shampoo and conditioner for everyday upkeep, but those with fine or flat hair who've tried it may have found it to be a little heavy for their hair. Now, however, there's a new solution.
Olaplex has just launched new versions of its shampoo and conditioner specially designed for fine hair. No.4 Fine Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner cost £14 for little 100ml bottles and £28 for 250ml bottles, and contain low molecular weight hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate and soften hair, plus a 'Hydra-Balancing Matrix' that cleanses and conditions tresses, without weighing them down.
Additionally (and different to the original shampoo and conditioner), there are also flexible polymers in the formula, which help to give the hair volume and lift from the roots.
As someone with long, fine hair myself that's prone to looking limp and flat – yet is also regularly bleached – I'm super excited to try out this new hair-washing duo. I have used and loved the original Olaplex shampoo and conditioner in the past but do find it a little rich for my thin hair, so these new launches sound like they're exactly what my haircare routine has been missing.
I've also recently been using Olaplex's No.5 Leave In Moisturize and Mend Leave In Conditioner, £30, on the ends of my hair, which I think is doing wonders for my straggly strands.
I also always have a bottle of the brand's hero product, No.3 Hair Perfector, in my bathroom for intense treatments after it's been coloured – and right now the cheapest you'll find it is at Amazon, where a 100ml bottle is down from £28 to £19.50.
Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector Repairing Hair Treatment is suitable for all hair types, but those with dry or damaged hair will particularly benefit from its repairing properties. It contains hydrating and nourishing ingredients such as glycerin, panthenol and jojoba seed oil to give your hair the boost it needs.
Although some confuse it with a conditioner or hair mask, Olaplex No.3 actually works from the inside out on every strand, helping to repair bonds that have been broken by things like heat styling, bleaching and wear and tear. Over time your hair will start to look and feel softer and stronger, and be less prone to breakage or split ends.
If you're after a cheaper alternative, L'Oréal Paris' Elvive Bond Repair range is a great option, and with bundles often hugely reduced in price; for example, you can now buy the four-piece Full Routine Bundle for £31.99 on Lookfantastic instead of the usual price of £57.96 – a saving of 45%.
And if thinning hair or hair loss is more of a concern, we've been impressed by the before and after results from Hairburst's Advanced+ Hair Formula, which costs £55.99 for a month's supply.
