Olaplex & Damaged Hair Treatments in Northampton

If your hair snaps when you brush it, feels stretchy when wet or will not hold colour, the inside of the hair is damaged. Olaplex is a bond repair treatment that works on exactly that. It reconnects some of the bonds that bleach, heat and chemical straightening break, so the hair is stronger and behaves better.

We use Olaplex on its own as a repair appointment, and alongside lightening to protect the hair while the colour lifts. We also offer a hair gloss for shine and tone. Prices depend on length and how much product your hair needs, so we confirm them at a short consultation first.

Signs Your Hair Needs Repair

Damaged hair usually tells you. It feels stretchy or gummy when wet, snaps when you brush it, looks dull however much conditioner you use, or loses colour within a couple of weeks. These are signs the bonds inside the hair are broken, which is exactly what Olaplex is designed to work on.

Common causes are repeated bleaching, high heat from straighteners every day, and chemical straightening. Often it is a mix of all three over a year or two.

What Happens In An Olaplex Appointment

We start by looking at your hair wet and dry, so we can see where the damage is. The treatment is applied to damp hair, left to work, then rinsed and followed by a wash and conditioning step. Allow around an hour, including a blow-dry.

For lightening services, Olaplex is mixed into the lightener itself. This protects the hair while it lifts and is one reason blonde balayage can stay soft, not straw-like.

Hair Gloss For Shine And Tone

A gloss is the quickest way to bring life back to dull hair. It coats the hair for shine and can add a little tone, warming up flat brown or cooling down brassy blonde. It is gentle, takes around half an hour, and is a good booking between full colour appointments. Our toner on its own is £25.

Looking After Repaired Hair At Home

Use a heat protector every time you style, and turn your straighteners down. Most hair does not need the highest setting. Swap to a sulphate-free shampoo, and use a deep conditioning mask once a week. Book a trim every eight to ten weeks so damaged ends do not split further up the hair.
