Get answers to common questions about Olaplex Repair Treatment.

Olaplex's patented formula reconnects disulfide bonds within the hair shaft, repairing structural damage caused by bleaching, heat, or mechanical stress. Treatments strengthen hair from the inside, reducing breakage and improving elasticity and overall appearance after a single salon session.

Yes, it's formulated to be color-safe and works during color services to protect and repair bonds. It won't alter your hair color when applied correctly; stylists often use it alongside coloring to minimize damage while enhancing results.

Treatment time varies by service and hair condition; expect 30 to 60 minutes for the in-salon protocol. If combined with color or extensions, plan for additional time. Your stylist will assess and recommend the appropriate timing during consultation.

Results are noticeable after one session, but severely compromised hair may require a series of treatments spaced weeks apart. Your stylist will create a personalized plan based on damage level, hair goals, and home care to achieve optimal, lasting repair.

Yes, it's safe for extensions but results apply only to your natural hair. We recommend application at the roots and mid-lengths, avoiding adhesive areas if advised. Our stylists will tailor the treatment to protect both your natural hair and extension bonds.

We recommend using Olaplex's at-home maintenance products or salon-grade bond-building shampoos and conditioners, plus heat protection and weekly masks. Regular trims and reducing heat styling help prolong benefits. Your stylist will suggest a routine tailored to your hair type and condition.
