Honestly my hair was in very poor condition about 6 months ago. Dull, frizzy, breaking, I started with k18, which is good, but now moved to olaplex, and have seen an enormous improvement compared to k18.
firstly I use no 3 once a week, I leave it on overnight. Don’t use much, you’re supposed to use no 1 with it, but I see no difference when I do that.
I then use no 9 straight after washing, and let it air dry a bit. and then no 6 prior to blow dry, and then when finished, the bonding oil. It sounds a lot but you use a tiny amount. So they last for ages.
i also use oribe gold lust shampoo and conditioner, if you go with oribe it’s important to use both, it is very expensive, but again you only need a tiny amount,
now after about three months my hair is shiny and swishy and I’ve learned, when it comes to hair care the good stuff that actually works costs big.
sticking down the broken bits is just an immediate fix, but you need to get it healthy again otherwise it will keep snapping and breaking.
also for home dyes, I have moved to Josh woods, and my hair is so much better for it, I was using nice n easy and it was just damaging my hair, it’s too harsh and it faded fast.
i get all these are expensive, but if you want to get your hair healthy again, and have the budget, it is worth the investment, even if you only do one or two of the products.
