Described as “the gold standard in hair repair”, and still trusted by both customers and professionals, the Olaplex collection of products has grown dramatically since it first launched back in 2014. One of the ranges that has increased is their shampoos, and that’s meant that customers in our stores have started to ask us which Olaplex shampoo is right for them. That’s why we thought it was time to look at each of them in detail and help you to create your perfect routine.
Which Olaplex shampoo is right for me?
What makes the Olaplex range so different?
It’s all down to a single molecule: Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate.
Free of oils and silicones, it actually relinks the broken bonds found
deep within your hair, and reverses the effects of the five forms of
damage:
• Colour
• Chemical
• Mechanical
•
Environmental
• Lifestyle
This bond-building technology
is the reason why Olaplex is a worldwide bestseller, and it’s at the
heart of all of their shampoos. Suitable for every hair type and
texture, from fine to coiled, the Olaplex system really does transform
your hair. So, starting with the original, let’s discover the shampoos
that Olaplex promise will repair and restore, and finally answer the
question, “Which Olaplex shampoo is right for me?”
Olaplex No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo
This is the original Olaplex shampoo and, for many people, is still
their go-to for repairing, restoring and maintaining hair health. The
beauty of the No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo is that it is genuinely
suitable for all hair types and textures. Whether your hair is coloured
or natural, the vegan formula is gentle enough for everyday use, but
still guarantees exceptional results.
• Olaplex technology
re-links the broken bonds in the hair
• Helps to increase moisture
levels and enhance shine

of damage
TOP TIP: If you’re a man with a beard, or a
man in your life has a beard, use the
Olaplex No.4 Bond Maintenance
Shampoo on it while showering. It will help to soften the ends of the
hairs and so stop any potential roughness.

Apply a small amount to wet hair, from roots right through to ends, and lather fully before rinsing out. Follow with the Olaplex No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner.

This shampoo is designed for blonde, grey or highlighted hair and
targets unwanted yellow tones with its concentrated purple pigments.

times brighter than other leading purple shampoos, but is still gentle
enough to use for regular shampooing.

using the Olaplex No.4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo.
