OLAPLEX BRAND: Using N⁰8, N⁰3 and Rebonding Oil


There's been quite a lot of rave about the purported efficacy of the Olaplex products range. I was really interested in using them but I had no idea which of the products to start with.
I read alot of reviews and watched YouTube videos about Olaplex so I can get an idea of what to pick. My attention was drawn to the fact that the company purports to have some products that helps with heavily bleached and coloured hair. They help to repair and maintain bleached hair.
Healthy and luscious hair is a dream for many, but frequent styling, chemical treatments, and environmental factors can leave our locks damaged and dull. Olaplex claims to be a game-changer in the world of hair care, offering innovative products that repair and protect damaged and bleached hair.

Most of the reviews really mentioned Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector, an at-home treatment that helps to reduce breakage and damage with Olaplex patented bond-building technology. Because my hair is bleached i decided to get the N⁰3 Hair Perfector. 
I also bought the N⁰8 Bond Intensive Moisture Mask and No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner since it's said to be ideal for use before applying No.3 Hair Perfector to hair. 

I was very enthusiastic about the products. I read the instructions on the labels and went ahead with application. The first time I used them, I noticed my hair fell out more than usual. I was perplexed and didn't think too much of it. The instructions says to use 2 times a week. On my second try, I was really shocked as the hair at the back of my hair were cutting off so badly and I had to immediately wash the products from my hair. I was really disappointed and in a moment of anger, I almost threw the 3 products into the garbage. I held back considering the products were pretty expensive. I spent about AED 500 plus and thinking of it made me furious. 

I was wondering what the issue is. So I tried applying them to two of my human hair wigs that where looking dull. Lo and behold, my wigs became rejuvenated. So the only explanation for this is that, Olaplex products are not formulated for Negro/African hair. The change to my wigs were instantaneous. One of the wig is made of natural Indian hair and the other hair is Vietnamese hair.

In conclusion, using Olaplex isn't advisable if you have Negro/African hair. You need to do a test before use or better still stay away from using it. I went online to see if there were any complaints about the products and apparently many people experienced breakage after using the products. But the product was good for my human hair wigs. I guess it only caters to non-African textures.

What was your experience using Olaplex, if you did previously. Please share on the comments section.

Love ❤️,

SUGAR SCRUB: This how i made a simple 4-Ingredients DIY Sugar Scrub

 I have a strict routine on exfoliating at least once every week. This morning I decided to do a diy sugar scrub. I did a face scrub with no essential oil. It included sugar, green tea, baking powder and water. All I did was mix them all with water. I wanted to see how it felt without adding any essential oil. Surprisingly after washing the sugar off, it felt as good as a professionally prepared scrub. I was so impressed that I had to use it again to do a total body, neck to feet scrub. Now I realised you could still do a scrub without using any oil and it will turn out as nice. You can give it a try. But ensure you scrub gently because the sugar feels more abrasive without oil.  You can let us know about your experience using an oil free sugar scrub.

PRODUCT REVIEW : BIO-OIL FOR SCAR, SUNBURN, STRETCH MARKS

Bio-oil is one of my favourite oil. I have been using it for years since my university days. This moisturising oil is formulated to hydrate the skin, clear off stretch mark, sunburn , acne, scars, uneven skin tone, aging  and dehydrated skin. It is so light and it gets absorbed easily into the skin and it is non greasy.  Bio oil is one product I can authoritatively recommended for any one who is suffering from the above mentioned skin issues.   I used to have uneven complexion and dark knuckles way back. I tried bio-oil and it worked. The  dark knuckles was from using different products randomly when I was still a teen. A lot of these products had hydroquinone which discoloured my skin . So I can say this product is a very suitable for damaged skin from skin bleaching . It can help to blend and repair the damage from  chemicals. It's an effective remedy for stretch marks. I have been lucky not to have much stretch marks but due to the nature of the skin, I still see a few slight
