I couldnt disagree more.

Trulymy kingdom for a little texture and volume!

The Delivery and Packaging: No Nonsense

I appreciate how the minimalist Olaplex system looks.

The Ingredient: Bis-Aminopropyl Digycol Dimaleate

(Say that ten times fast.)

The Scent: Fresh

Theres something citrusy and almost… grapefruit-y about the Olaplex fragrance.

My hair was left smelling clean and light in a subtle waywhich is what I want from my shampoo.

I cant stand overly-sweet smelling products or a scent that overpowers a room if I flip my hair.

I love the color, but I dont love how fried and dry the process left my strands.

I tried a few repairing masks but the results were short-lived and barely noticeable.

Neither of these things happened.

Olaplex is a system, however, which means there are other products meant to complement the shampoo.

I only tried the shampoo and conditioner and was very impressed with the two on their own.

Its secret sauce: A proprietary blend of bond-building ingredients that help repair the hair.

Final Verdict

The Olaplex No.

4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo is meant for all hair types in need of a little TLC.
