If you have hair, you probably know about Olaplex by now. If you'd like to know what all the hype is about, we've got you covered: What is Olaplex? So, Olaplex is a new-ish formula that works on a molecular level to repair and protect your hair, both in-salon and between visits. It first hit fame back in 2015 when Kim Kardashian West went from dark brunette to platinum blonde, seemingly overnight, for Paris Fashion week. Everyone wanted to know how she did it in one go without completely ruining her hair - and when she revealed her secret, we all wanted Olaplex, So many celebs have since raved about the 7-step system, it's become something you just have to have if you have coloured/bleached hair. The main ingredient, bis-amino diglycol dimaleate is currently patented, by the way, which is why you don’t see any knock-off versions on the market. The 7-Step System: You don't have to worry about the first two steps in the Olaplex range, as these are for your hairdresser to handle during the coloring process. It's all down to you at home, however, to maintain that amazing quality with steps 3 onwards.
So does it really work? Anyone who has tried any part of the Olaplex system will tell you that yes, it really does work. It is a ground-breaking formula that people swear-by, for good reason. It is worth every penny if you have chemically treated hair. Have you Tried Olaplex? Let us know your thoughts! Olaplex Travelling Stylist Kit

Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner formula is colour- sulphate- paraben- gluten- and nut-free, and is vegan-friendly. Here at O’Reilly’s, we are always telling you about our favorite hair oils and how to use them, so we thought we should give you a quick insight into WHY you should incorporate hair oils into your hair care routine!
We recommend using oils sparingly, you can always add more but it’s a bit harder to get it out! Dab a bit of the product on the palm of your hand and rub together. Run the oil through the middle/end of your hair, avoiding the roots. Use your hands in a combing motion to do this. Any excess product you have on your hands can be lightly smoothed onto the top of your hair. What oils do you recommend? Well, we thought you’d never ask! We are always raving about the Marrakesh Original Oil because it’s vegan, cruelty-free, produced in a solar-powered plant aaand it combines argan oil with hemp oil – giving double the benefits. Marrakesh also do a Light Oil, which has the same benefits as above, but it is great for people with finer hair who want a less intense coverage. We love this for everyday styling. Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil is a slightly pricier oil, but a good one, nonetheless. The star ingredient is bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate – which works to strengthen and repair damage post-colouring, bleaching or heat styling! Got a question? Get in Touch!
