Best Hair Treatment?

8 replies

ryanreynolds · 05/10/2019 14:58

I have relatively fine, shoulder length fair. I get it coloured (semi-perm) and treated every 6-8 weeks or so but in between the ends get very dry and very broken (although using a hairdryer, never mind straighteners is a rarity due to baby DS!)

It looks good for a few weeks after the treatment at the salon (I think it's Olpalex), but what can I use in between? I've tried a Kertase one (white with a orange lid) but no better than the Aussie 3 minute wonder. I've tried a Purology one but didn't think it justified the price tag.

Happy to spend if it's worth it!

TIA Gin

The Wella Fusion masque is brill. Can often find the salon size tubs on lookfantastic/allbeauty etc. Been using it about three months and my hair breaks a lot less now and feels a lot stronger.

Be careful of masks that are high in keratin/proteins etc as they can make your hair brittle and snap even more (happened to me with Joico KPak)

Olaplex 3 works well for me.

Elastisizer - Apply to wet hair and cover with shower cap, leave for 10-20 minutes before washing out.
Then use shampoo, towel dry hair, apply conditioner and then rinse out after a few minutes.

Redken so soft treatment is great for fine hair

Olaplex have a range right up to 8. The shampoo and conditioner is probably the best option. I love it and worth every penny - a little goes a long way

Olapled for strength, elastasizer for softness.

Philip Kingsley's elasticizer works on my over processed hair.
