My hair was DESTROYED by Olaplex. Thank you for raising awareness

Olaplex made my hair so thin that my hairstylist told me it looked like some trauma had happened to my body/ that’s the only reason for such drastic hair loss in a short amount of time. sorry for everyone who’s experienced this too but sooo happy people are speaking up about it. Also, for everyone saying you’re only supposed to use it every so often, etc— NOWHERE on their website says that. It says their shampoo and conditioners are formulated for every day use for ALL HAIR TYPES. Absolute insanity!! 💔

I have blonde highlights, bleached hair basically, and I have noticed that every time I use the Olaplex 3 my hair gets so dry and damaged. And it takes so long for my hair to recover. I have decided I am not using it anymore. I thought I was the only person experiencing this. I’m glad someone is honest and brave enough to say the truth. That’s why I love your Chanel.

Came here to see If I was the only one. After using the whole line for three years, I have massive amounts of broken hair. I haven't even put any color on it in over a year, due to the fact my hair is in such bad shape now. I've even had to cut "12 I absolutely believe its something to do with some ingredients in this product. I have colored my hair for over 15 years and use expensive products to keep it healthy, that is until my "OLD" hairstylist recommended the line to me. I have since fired her. I will be trying another line. Just my two cents.

Olaplex ruined my hair too; I had to take 7 inches off and I have curly hair. Protein fills in gaps in hair (these gaps can occur from any type of damage). Olaplex repairs broken disulfide bonds; the only way disulfide bonds break are through chemical processes such as dying, perming, or relaxing. Both can cause the hair to become too strong and break (elasticity and some softness is necessary to maintain its integrity). Its about a balance and its tricky to find. The manufacturer/brand should stop proclaiming its for everyone for sure, but I knew that as its how science works. I just did not think it would be possible that using it just a few times would have done that much damage. I figured that I would see it doing damage before breakage would be possible just like with products that contain protein, but its a very strong product.

Great video. Marketing is a bitch to consumers. I’m a Kerastase user and tried Olaplex last week. After the first usage I noticed hairloss, but loved the shine. I used it for the second time today and now my hair is like straw and it’s falling out even more. I’m so done with it. Money wasted! Hopefully my hair grows back fast.

Olaplex DESTROYED my hair. 8 months post usage and still shedding and breaking like never experienced by anything before in my life. I lost 50% of my hair.

[carlacastaneda]

oh my goodness. My heart just broke. I’ve been using olaplex since 2021. I’ve been fine until the last 2 months. I have never been so depressed….. I took a picture and you can SEE the balding. I have been thinking my hormones have been out of control because like you, my hair is SUPER oily at the scalp and the rest of my hair is DRY, BROKEN, and staticky! I’m so torn. I used to have THICK luscious hair and now it’s ugly.

[staywayout]

Olaplex made a bunch of my hair fall out. There’s a lawsuit against Olaplex in Canada right now. This stuff should NOT be in stores.

[maryannecaraboolad]

This is almost my exact experience with Olaplex. My hair is color treated (brown/black) and I followed the instructions of ALL the products with a timer and/or actually used them less than directed. My hair is severely damaged. It will take years to grow out. Never again! Olaplex has been contacted numerous times by our group. The only response we get is the bot. They have not reached out to us at all. They are however, reaching out to all the big hair influencers. This whole situation is just so sad.

Ps. You are beautiful and have gorgeous hair. I’m so sorry this happened to you. Thank you for being brave and sharing your experience. ❤️

This is the 2nd report against Olaplex I’ve seen lately. Until now, I’ve heard stylists rave about how great it is... yet when I bought it, used it once, I didn’t like the feel, so I never used it again. I was confused as to why it didn’t feel and sit right on my hair, but now I know why.

I've died my hair red for years and Olaplex made my hair like straw! I did exactly as directed and its like absolute straw and does not hold moisture at all and to comb it after a wash with a large tooth comb is a nightmare as well its like trying to come dry seaweed in how it mats together. My hair is past my waist so when I say I dye my hair I mean I am that careful with it. Never in my life have I seen anything like this. I have normally Disney princess hair in thickness and in breakage I've lost like 50 of the thickness to my hair. I had lab work done - saw my hematologist, had iron infusion, more labs, saw my GP, went to a dermatologist, to be told nothing is wrong with the hair follicles and that it might be stress. What stress??? My life isn't stressed at all the only thing new in my life was Olaplex and I did this treatment with No. 3 a year and a half ago and the hair fall on this has been crushing to see happen and I've never seen anything like this in my life and I was NEVER a Diva Curl product buyer. The only new to cause this level of damage was and is Olaplex. Also I've never done a protein treatment in my life either.

I started using olaplex a few months ago for the first time. I used the hair mask maybe twice but was using the bonding oil alot. I wanted to strengthen my hair since I got alot of highlights. Since then, I have lost 8 INCHES OF HAIR. My hair is so THIN in the area where I would use the oil. I thought it was my hairdresser [when she was doing my hair] that caused this. NOPE! Reading all these comments - describes exactly what happend to me. DRY/BRITTLE thinning hair. I had to cut some inches off just to have a "full look". My hair looked like a broom missing 75% of the bristles. I would never recommend any of their products. My co-worker who started using the products and a friend of mine around the same time - HAD THE SAMEEE ISSUE. There is no way 3 of us had the same issue at the same time randomly.

[brandimccoy]

Hi 👋 Chemically treated hair here and mine also got SUPER DAMAGED. Started shedding like crazy after using Olaplex. Had breakage, straw hair, the whole 9. This company is garbage and I wouldn’t recommend anyone do anything with it except throw it in the garbage. I’m currently taking hair vitamins, collagen & trying to salvage my once beautiful hair 😣

[roxyc.]

To all the morons saying Olaplex is a protein....Olaplex is NOT a protein so it's not a protein issue. My friend hair fell out from using Olaplex . Many women suffered from hair fall out from using this product. There's now a lawsuit. I never jumped on bandwagons. When you finally find something that works stick with it. If it's not broken don't fix it. I'm glad your hair is bouncing back...it looks nice :).

[lyndsayb]

I'm a hairstylist/colourist and I've been using olaplex religiously for the past year and started to notice major breakage a couple of months ago out of nowhere. I know it wasn't from being coloured or lightened because I haven't done that! So I was confused. My hair is breaking from high up the hair shaft. I've never experienced this and I'm pissed! It wasn't until watching videos of other people experiencing what seems like the same thing, that I made the connection that it was the olaplex!!! I stopped immediately and have purchased kerastase in hopes that I can get my healthy, long hair back🤞

I experienced the same damage after using the Olaplex Healthy Hair system twice this month. The first time my hair felt extremely dry, fizzy and tangled, so I thought perhaps I did not leave the No. 0 and No. 3 combo on long enough before I used the Olaplex shampoo and conditioner, or needed to use the mask. So about 9 days later I used it all again, and followed the instructions to the letter, along with No. 4 shampoo, No. 8 intense moisture mask, No. 7 oil and No. 9 bond protector serum. My hair was literally destroyed. I do not mean figuratively, but literally. So much of my hair fell out. Some from the roots, but a lot broken. The amount of hair left in my various brushes and shower drain is shocking and scary. I had a mass of tangles at the roots of my hair and down the entire length (my hair is half way down my back.) For the next two days my hair was so dry and brittle and tangled that I resorted to various 40 minute hair restoration masks like olive oil, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt and honey mixtures. I have been using large amounts of hair oils like coconut and awapuhi that have helped. One of the worst things are the sores I have on my scalp that developed after the 2nd use of Olaplex. It has been three weeks and they have not healed and a few new ones have formed since then. I understand that a lot of people love Olaplex and get amazing results, but it is not for my hair type. Which is fine, a little wavy and chemically processed. It will take years for me to outgrow this damage. I hope my scalp and hair follicles recover in order to regrow my hair. I hope the problem is a coating on my hair (as mentioned in the video above.) To me it feels like it is something that has soaked into the hair, or destroyed it from within. I used the products because of their great reviews and because my hair was feeling a little dry from the chemical processing. It is so much worse now, I had no idea what real damage could be done. I have the same one- to three- inch long pieces that stick straight up all over my head, and some are wirey and kinky. The oils that I am using on my hair do make it look presentable and allow me to carefully brush my hair, however, as soon as I wet my hair in the shower it feels like course, matted straw all over again and it makes me realize that the products are merely covering up the damage, not helping to truly correct it. I will try a clarifying shampoo followed by another intense mask as you suggested and see if it helps. I will also try the Unite 7 detangler. My hair has never been this tangled ever. Thank you, Sara. PS- I have requested a refund from Olaplex and will mail back everything I purchased from them today. This was the worst $130 I have ever spent.

[melissas]

I used Olaplex #6, 3x, and my hair is ruined! I am losing my hair so badly and have been for over a month now. I just hope I can find something that works and stops the loss of hair!!

[filmsbynix]

No. 3 did nothing for my virgin type 3b 3c curly hair, I thought it would repair heat damage but my hair just looked straight on top with hardly a bend or wave. However, I went to the salon and had no 1 and 2 done twice a month apart and it completely transformed my curls I've literally seen like 80% improvement my hair has started to form ringlets on top. At home I use the kerastase curl manifesto line and Kerastase is supreme for me but I will continue to use olaplex no 1 and 2 every now and then at the salon. I don't plan to try olaplex shampoo and conditioner it seems most complaints are about these products
