My daughter bragged about how amazing her hair felt after using olaplex . I’m a hairstylist so I get it at cost bought a huge bottle and let her fill up a couple til I see her next. We both have had severe dry, breaking hair now. We use it at directed. I even called and asked them at the company exactly how. It makes my hair really clean, which I love but so dry and her too. I’ve never seen her hair so bad. Broken all the way to the top. I have super fine extra curly Afro hair. Like a baby but a bit more hair. I also have just suggested using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and switching each every other shampoo. Hopefully this will work. I know it’s not a protein but it’s doing to my hair exactly as a protein does. Dry. My hair has also not gotten stronger. It still breaks super easy. My favorite item from this company is the oil. Love using it before brushing my hair out and my curls look better as well. I hope my idea will work. I have a lot left so I don’t want to waste it. I just might have to. Thanks for reading or listening anyway. Abby
