February 6, 2016 | 7 Comments Most people can be transformed into a work of art and beauty after only a few hours with their stylist. Even though hair is a big part of our lives, we are sometimes quick to change to a different look. But having all those chemicals applied to your hair can take its toll. That’s where the Olaplex Bond Multiplier, Bond Perfector, and Hair Perfector come in. Olaplex’s three part system will help you further hair straightening or color changes without causing damage and breakage. Olaplex Explained Whether it is a color treatment, bleach, perm, straightener, heat styling, or even stress and tension, hair is easily damaged and needs restored. The tiny bonds that hold your hair together become damaged and broken. You can see it and feel it over time. flickr.com Olaplex can find this hidden damage, reinforce the bonds, and make your hair stronger, more flexible, and more resistant to damage in the future. It is a three part system which is gluten free, silicone free, sulfate free, and is never tested on animals. The first two products are used in the salon. Olaplex Bond Multiplier (No. 1) is directly mixed into your hair color. Then Bond Perfector (No. 2) is applied before a shampoo. Finally, the Hair Perfector (No. 3) is sent home with you to be used once per week. You’ll be amazed at the difference in the health of your hair.

What is the name of the Japanese hair straightener and where can I purchase it I’m a hairstylist in Alaska Reply
Hey Marie! We would suggest you check with brands like Yuko USA (www.yuko-usa.com), Innosys (https://www.istraighthair.com/istraight-keratin/), or Milbon (https://www.milbon-usa.com/product/liscio-thermal-retexturizing/) to find the closest local distributor. But of course, like most everything else, you can also find the product on Amazon: LISCIO Crystal Cream Straighteners & Neutralizer – Normal. It’s important to note though that most brands only officially sell their professional level products, especially chemical products like permanent straighteners, through official distributors. The listings on Amazon are mostly being resold by third parties and are not guaranteed by the brands. Reply
Milabon is the company and LISCIOv is the name of the product. It’s from Osaka, Japan; however you can order it thru Exclusive Beauty Supply (EBS) in Florida. They won’t sell it to you until you take the $75 Certification education class online. I’m just now buying for my 1st time. I’ve don’t exhaustive research and it appears to be the best! Good luck & I’m sure up there you could be the only one doing the service! Peace Reply
Can you use Olaplex Hair Perfector (No.3) after you have had Japanese Hair straightening done? Since Japanese Hair Straightening chemically breaks the bonds in the hair, will the Olaplex return it to its natural wavy/curly state or will the Olaplex keep the hair straight and just improve it? Reply
Olaplex can definitely be done following a JHS treatement. It’s not likely that your hair will return to its original state. However, results will definitely vary depending on your hair type and how well the original JHS treatment worked. Reply
Has anyone tried this? I am also looking for an answer, I don’t feel that you received an acceptable answer. I am looking for a more definitive response. Reply
