So I Tried Olaplex No 3 On My 4C Hair | Is It Worth The Hype?

So if you're not living under a rock, you must have heard of or at least seen this olaplex number three hair perfector. So this was made by scientists and doctors to work on your hair at a molecular level to permanently repair broken bonds and strengthen your hair. So those who have damage due to heat chemicals or just like physical manipulation, like brushing your hair too much, then apparently this is meant to be a miracle product to change and reverse all of that. The reviews on this is absolutely crazy. People love it. They say it's just transformed their hair for the better and i honestly think it's one of the most hyped up products on the market. Full stop. So i don't actually have any damage to my hair that i'm aware of, but i do sometimes get a bit paranoid about split ends because, as you all know, i transitioned for quite a long time and my hair started breaking off and when your hair breaks off It becomes more prone to split ends, so when the braids became too much, i did obviously end up cutting my hair, so i hope that i cut off any split ends that were there and prevented any from forming, but obviously i'm not a professional hairdresser. I don't know if i cut it properly, so i do want to just try this out today, just in case also, this isn't just for broken hair, so you don't have to feel like your hair needs to be like on its last leg or like seriously damaged Before you can actually benefit from using this, and the reviews that i've read especially from girls with curly hair, including my own sister, have said that this made their hair feel softer easier to manage their curls look more defined. So i'm sure it's something that all of us can benefit from, regardless of our hair condition. What i will say about this olapex treatment is that it is expensive, so i actually ended up buying the bigger size and it's only 250 milliliters, but it costs now wait for it. It costs 52 pounds. So i personally don't think i'm gon na get more than four uses out of this, so it is a pretty expensive treatment. Okay, so the directions date to use this on damp towel dried hair before you shampooed, so basically like a pre shampoo treatment. So you just need to leave this on for a minimum of 10 minutes, rinse it out and then shampoo and condition as usual. So some people choose to actually leave this on overnight and they say that it gives them really great results. But for me today, because i'm recording i'm gon na leave this on for about two to three hours, but maybe on another day, i'll try and do the whole overnight thing see if there's any difference if it works any better. It also said online that if your hair is extremely dirty, if it's got quite a bit of product, build up that you should lightly shampoo your hair before putting it on and my hair i've not washed it for two weeks, there's so much product build up. They'Ve got gel in there all sorts, so i am gon na go lightly. Shampoo, my hair first, so i'm gon na just gon na do that now and then come back and then we'll apply this okay. Hopefully it's not too echoey. I normally do a voiceover at the stage i've put pre shampoo in my hair. You know the pre shampoo, i always use and i'll put a picture here of it. So, as you all know, i stick to using this tgin moisture, rich shampoo. This is my shampoo that i use weekly and i've been doing so for years. However, if you've watched my previous video, you will know that we found out that this actually has an ingredient that is really harsh and makes this a clarifying shampoo. So technically i shouldn't be using this weekly and i think that this could be the culprit of my dry scalp, because i'm constantly complaining about an itchy, flaky, dry scalp and i'm thinking it could be because this is actually quite strong. So it's stripping my scalp with like natural oils and that's why i normally have quite a dry scalp. So in that same video we also tested the ingredients of this, carry care, hydrates and detangling shampoo. And this, when we found out it has no harsh ingredients and the cleansing agents within this product are very gentle, so i'm going to switch. This is going to be my new weekly shampoo and every once in a while. When i want to clarify my hair. Maybe it's got too much buildup then i'll use this one, and also i've only used this once and i told you guys about it and i said i felt like it made my hair cleaner because my scalp wasn't as flaky and dry. However, i'm thinking that maybe it's because this was more hydrating and it didn't strip my scalp and that's why i felt that my scalp is cleaner. So that's what i'm going to do now, i'm switching to this and, let's just see, do okay. On the back, my hair is shampooed lightly. I honestly cannot believe it, but again there are still some straight bits of hair in here and it's actually becoming a little bit annoying now, because every time i think i've cut off all the relaxed ends. I wash my hair and i find that there's still like little bits of straight hair, so i think i just really need to go to a professional and get them to cut my hair now, because this is becoming annoying. I'M clearly missing something before i actually use this odoplex. I just want to actually say something so, as i may or may not have already mentioned. I have now found a better way to moisturize my hair, and i don't know if it's that or i don't know, but this week i've just been noticing that my hair seemed a lot curlier. It looked a lot curlier and i'm like maybe just in my head, but it just looked a lot earlier and then now i've just washed my hair and it's so curly. Look at that, and the only reason why i mentioned that is because i want this to be a very fair test. I want to test if this actually defines curls brings it out if it actually dries up in your hair, so yeah it's going to be a little bit transparent because i don't want to like use this and it looks exactly the same. Then i tell you oh yeah, my hair is curlier now because no it's already looking a little bit curlier, i'm going to start off by. Should i section it, should i just put it on our section: okay um. It feels really nice going on. It actually feels really nice. It'S got like some slip to it. I hope i'm putting enough because they do save a generous amount. Okay, one more for good luck. Just put this all around. I don't know i'm thinking if i should probably comb it in. It didn't actually say that on the packet, but i'm going to do that because i'm struggling to get it inside my hair yeah. I can feel it distributing better when i comb it so now. I'M definitely confident that it's everywhere, because i'm going to be leaving mine on for a lot longer than the recommended time. I also think i'm going to twist it. I don't know, i'm just thinking as i go. That'S why i keep just changing my mind, because if you leave your hair untwisted, it's going to dry quicker, so i want to keep this as moist as possible, so i'm going to just do a very quick, very quick twist okay, so firstly, i'm hilarious. I said i was gon na leave this in my hair for about two to three hours. It'S actually been five hours. I just ended up getting caught up, doing other things and yeah, so it's actually been on my hair for quite a while. It'S dark. It'S literally the evening the hair is still moist, because i had this plastic covering over so yeah, i'm just gon na wash it off now. So, okay, so i've just washed the early plex off and i will say my hair felt like it's never felt before it did. It felt so soft and i could really feel a lot of curls in there, which i don't normally feel i mean recently as i have been moisturizing my hair. I did mention that my hair had felt softer and i have started to see some definition to my curls, but not like that. Now that i'm touching it obviously the olaplex is not conditioner, it's not a shampoo, so i wasn't really expecting it to stay feeling the way it did, which it doesn't to be fair. It kind of just feels it feels soft, but it doesn't feel like how it did in the shower. It was so slippery. My hair didn't fill up my hair at all. So now, when i put the conditioner on i'd, be really intrigued to see what it ends up. Looking like every time, i use these clips um someone comments to ask where they're from they are really good. They bend in a really really cool way. So it's really great for thick hair and i will leave a link this time below in the description. So, as you know, i use my own hair mask that i've made and it's been working wonders for me, so i'm just gon na continue to do that. Okay, so this condition has been sitting on my hair for about an hour, and i can't notice you guys it's so late, i'm knackered, so i apologize if my energy is just kind of dropped, but yeah. I just want to wash this off now, but before i do that, i just want us to have a look and see if there's any changes. Oh wow, okay, my hair feels really really soft wow. I don't even understand how to explain this. It feels so soft and i didn't even use any heat, so normally i use a hair steamer, but because it's just so late and i'm just so tired, i couldn't be bothered to bring that thing out. If you see how that's just pulling apart. So i'm gon na go and rinse it off now off camera, because i'm honestly so tired, i don't have the strength to take this camera into the bathroom right now so good morning. Everyone um - i just wanted to start off by saying i'm so sorry like. I couldn't last night i was so tired and i ended up just switching off the camera, moisturizing my hair and then going to bed um. I do know, i told you guys i'm going to show you my moisture routine, so i'm going to have to do that. Like another day, and because yesterday i was tired, i just want to show you what my hair looks like the next day, though, because i can't get over how soft my hair is to be fair. Like i mentioned before after i changed my moisture routine, i definitely started to see my curls coming out a little bit more slightly. My hair felt a lot more moist, so i'd already seen like some subtle changes, but this time, coupled with the olaplex i've, not felt or seen my hair like this since i've gone natural. Now, if you have a look, you can see like the curls have just started to really come out, but look at that so much definition and i'm definitely going to keep on using the earlier flex treatment just to see what it can do after like continual use, Because this is just after the first try, so my verdict for the olaplex treatment is definitely 10 out of 10.. I would highly recommend it and yeah if you guys like this, video, definitely do give me a thumbs up and if you're not already subscribed, you know what to do hit that subscribe button, and i shall see you guys in my next video
