Self-Care for Your Hair with Nº.0, 3, 4, 5, & 8
Is there too much going on in your life, and you feel your self-care ritual is slipping away from you? If things are beginning to feel less balanced in your life, maybe it’s a sign that it’s time to focus on giving yourself some extra TLC.
Burnout is a real thing, and as self-care is still a modern concept for some to grasp, it often gets put on the back burner when we’re too exhausted. A shift in thinking may help alleviate the symptoms of this fact. Self-care, especially when it involves haircare, is a part of maintaining your overall sense of well-being and confidence so you feel more like your best self every day.
Carve time out of your week to show up for yourself, starting with an easy, at-home self-care and haircare ritual that keeps your hair healthy and strong every time.
Every hair type can benefit from OLAPLEX®. Cleanse with OLAPLEX No.4 Bond Maintenance® Shampoo and No.5 Bond Maintenance® Conditioner one to three times per week. Incorporate treatments like OLAPLEX No.0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment and No.3 Hair Perfector prior to washing about once per week and increase to two to three times per week if your hair is more damaged. Add in one pump or more as needed of OLAPLEX No.5 Leave-In™ Moisturize & Mend Leave-In Conditioner after washing, which provides immediate moisture and reduces breakage after one use.
Self-Care with a Pre-Shampoo Treatment, Shampoo, and Conditioner
For an easy, at-home self-care routine, try Nº.3, Nº.4, and Nº.5. Set the self-care mood however you like. Choose your music, light a candle, then start your self-care moment with Nº.3. This pre-shampoo treatment is infused with OLAPLEX Bond-Building Technology™ to repair and strengthen hair. Nº.3 is our bestseller, famous for its unmatched, incredible repair. You can use Nº.3 weekly to reduce breakage and visibly strengthen your hair. Nº.3 reverses damage in as little as 3 minutes and restores a healthy appearance and hair texture.
To use Nº.3, apply it on damp hair prior to shampoo and conditioner. Apply a generous amount from roots to ends until your hair is fully saturated, and leave it on for 10 minutes. Rinse and follow with Nº.4 and Nº.5.
You’ll love Nº.4 for your self-care routine because this shampoo gently cleanses and nourishes your hair for added strength and shine. It can also help improve manageability and softness. Use it as a system with Nº.5. This reparative conditioner leaves hair easy to manage, shiny, and healthier. No.5 can also help detangle your hair. These wash essentials are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Apply No.4 to wet hair, lather, and rinse. Follow with Nº.5 and apply it to the mid-lengths to ends of your hair. Let it sit for 1-3 minutes, then rinse it out.
Create an Intense Bond-Building, Hair-Self-Care Routine
Noticing your hair is extremely dry, or frizzy, or seeing split ends? These are signs the bonds in your hair are in need of repair. Add in more products like Nº.0 and Nº.8. Nº.0 and Nº.3 work together to rebuild broken hair bonds. Nº.0 works as a primer for more r repair as it dampens the hair with patented OLAPLEX Bond-Building Technology™. Apply to dry hair, comb through to saturate, then leave the treatment on for 10 minutes. Without rinsing, apply Nº.3 directly on top of Nº.0, combing through to saturate thoroughly again. Leave the treatment on for an additional ten minutes, then shampoo and condition with Nº.4 and Nº.5.
Next, address dryness with Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask. This mask provides intense moisture to treat damaged hair. It intensely smooths, adds shine, and fully absorbs into the hair for a weightless finish. Apply Nº.8 to clean, damp hair, combing through to saturate the product thoroughly. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse it out and style it as usual.
