I did this procedure more than once in the salon and was always satisfied. Hair really became softer and silky!

Marina Nazarova

You need to try, my friend did, she says she is happy))

Evgeniya

I liked this tool very much !!!! Recommend! I have light, repeatedly bleached hair, and immediately after the next dyeing, I start using this series in a complex and the result is obvious: the hair keeps the shade and the condition of the hair also improves! This is not the first time I take it! The consumption of the product is economical and will last for a long time, the product is thick and you won't apply much!

Alexandra

Awful disappointment. Wildly dries hair. After him, the hair looks like tow !! Advertising this product to bloggers is pure marketing!

Natalia

Yesterday I received my order and today I tried Olaplex 3. I did everything according to the instructions, kept it on well-damp hair for 15 minutes. Consumption for the first time has gone a lot ... .. BUT! The effect is AWESOME !!!! Hair to the touch is slightly denser than steel and the ends WITHOUT fluffiness and smooth !!!
I’ll see how the hair will behave the next time. But today - a very pleasant shock)))

Olaplex video questions answers

What is olaplex for hair

Olaplex is the latest American hair regrowth treatment. In a short period of time, from Chicago (Illinois), it has spread throughout the world and has become one of the most sought after.

Analog Olaplex from Estelle

An analogue of Olaplex from the domestic Estelle brand. Mark Estelle has also taken up the fight for hair health. She presented her chromoenergy complex to protect hair during dyeing. It must be understood that this is not an analogue of Olaplex in a broad sense. It is an emulsion to protect hair from dyeing and bleaching.

The emulsion contains a combination of caring and protecting components that have a positive effect on the hair.

Estelle Chromoenergy Complex does not restore hair during coloring. However, it significantly reduces the damage caused by the dye. Some women add the complex to shampoo, hair balm as care.

Olaplex for hair customer reviews photo

Olga

I had my hair dyed with Olaplex. The master said that the effect is good, but short-lived - it washes off in a month or two.

Ponochka Duck

Happiness is NOT a cure.
This is just a temporary hair restoration. Usually done before painting.

Sunny wine

I like “hair happiness”. But when natural hair was there, it was almost pointless. When blond - fills the hair well and they are not so empty already and fit better

Vivi

Made "happiness", the effect is, but not long-term.

Sandy Sandy

Its dark blond. I have been dyed in blond for a long time. Of all the remedies tried, I liked the effect of happiness for the hair the most. Ceramics, rare, loreal, all of Japan and Korea did not give such an effect as happiness. Hair is filling. The effect is long lasting. And there is no slickness like from keratin
