When I leave olaplex in my hair overnight it dries and makes my hair look lovely - but ...

then I have to wash it out! Is there something I can leave in that will create the same effect. My hair is curly by the way!

Mousse just makes it go crispy.

Leave in conditioner makes it look lank.

Serum I can't use properly!

Any suggestions please?

With the mousse you need to scrunch out the crunch.

Have you tried gel?

I use a serum with my curly hair. I use a John Frieda one - scrunch into wet hair - and then just leave to dry. I only use a tiny amount.

I do have short hair though.

I have heard good things about the Olew range. www.babipur.co.uk/olew

Thanks for the replies. The Olew stuff looks interesting.

I put Olaplex 6 into damp hair overnight it removes the frizz.

Great! Good luck!

Can you use olaplex 6 on its own or do you need to use the whole system (shampoo, conditioner etc)?

You can use by itself, you don't have to use the Olaplex shampoo and conditioner. The bottle says it's a leave in reparative styling creme eliminates frizz, hydrates and protects. It works well on my super dry frizzy and curly hair.

Thanks Zara. Sounds good.

Just thought I'd report back on the Olew curl cream. I've only used it twice so far but I really like it - it produces exactly the effect I was after! I used a bit too much the first time - a little goes a long way!

So thank you very much @ChocOrange1. And thanks for the other suggestions too :)

Thank you for the update @AliceAir!

I wonder what it would do for straight hair... Hmm
