- What’s up babes?
Aren’t we all seeking stronger, healthier hair? Well, protein treatments and Olaplex No. 3 have been CRITICAL in fortifying my hair and repairing the damage I put it through. My poor strands :(
In today’s video we will be discussing the differences between protein treatments and Olaplex No. 3 and how each of them work for texlaxed hair. Understanding the distinctions between the two can be confusing, so today we’re going to break it down!
I highly suggest incorporating a protein treatment along with Olaplex into your relaxed hair journey / texlaxed hair journey. It has really helped me retain length and maintain long healthy relaxed hair!

As a biology student I loved hearing you discuss the science behind these treatments! You did great at breaking it down!
Courtney Maddox Awww Thank you babe!! This means a lot coming from someone with a science background. Appreciate you ❤️😘
Same 🤗🤗
My hair is color treated (brown /black ) I eat healthy and plant based for the most part I still indulge in ice cream and chips And my environment is average normal spring weather with that being said how often should I do a protein treatment
I dont mean to be offtopic but does someone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@@iiammyalashay919 I love aphoghee 2 step protein treatment, I do that every 4-6 weeks
This is the best explanation I've heard on broken bonds and bond treatment. Most RUclipsrs just say it "repairs the broken bonds in your hair" or "it rebuilds the bonds" without any explaining what bonds even are, leaving some of us even more confused!
Because they don't know either🤷♀️
This was very good. Straight to the point and delivered in a none condescending way.
You answered all my questions and then some! Love the way you broke it down. Thank you!!
Literally the best explanation I’ve seen on the two…thank you!
This is the video comparison I’ve been looking for 🙏🏽
Great video! Very thorough. Thank you for taking the time to explain protein treatments. Especially between Aphogee and Olapex.
Great video with lots of knowledge that was shown in a positive and uplifting way 👏🏽👏🏽
I have heard a lot about olaplex no 3 but never to the extent that you provided, it was super informative. I use aphogee on a regular basis and I've wanted to try olaplex but just hadn't gotten around to it but I'm definitely going to. Could you do a video showing how you use olaplex within your wash day? Great video
The last video I needed to watch to learn about Olaplex and Protein treatment. You explained very well!
Thank you 🙏
Subscribed !
Awesome video! Thank you! Excellent explanation of the product differences. Olaplex is the truth! It has improved the health of my hair & decreased shedding. However I only use it once a month as it started to make my new growth too curly and strong.
Thank you so much for this! The most helpful video I've watched so far!
This was great. I was trying to figure out my wash day routine today to snap back my curls after color damage. You helped me so much!
Excellent video! Well said and clearly explained 👌🏾
I use Creme of Nature Plex Breakage System. It has a bond mender in it. And the Aphogee 2 step but I add Castro oil to it! These work well with my Tex-lax hair
This is the exact kind of information I needed because I'm buying treatments today! From one Alexis to another, thank yooou❤❤😊
Great explanations! Could you please explain how to use the Olaplex treatment with the Aphogee protein treatment together. A video demonstration would be nice. Thank you.
Ii don’t know your supposed to use then together ?👀
Thanks for the detailed explanation . Beautiful hair and personality .
Such a good explanation. I subscribed🥰
This was the most amazing crisp tutorial of hair
Girl yessss, us science and biochem majors are loving your breakdown! Yes to di-sulfide bonds🤗
Your explained this so perfectly. Thank you SO much!
Woiiiiiiii I looooove this content. Phenomenal content.I LOVE ❤ that you did a comparison of aphogee and olaplex.These are two products I have been admiring...
New sub here. Your energy is great and I love the ‘behind the screen’ explainers you do.oh, and using Labmuffins graphics makes sense as she is amazing too.
So gorgeous and well spoken! New subscriber 💜
Thank you so much!! I was trying to do so much reading about bong rebuild Er vs protein treatment and you clarified it perfectly.
Excellent video! I'm sitting here with Olaplex #3 right now. Just relaxed and feeling really good about using it.
Thank you, great explanation on this product! 👌🏼
I was a biology and chemistry teacher - great explanation.. I can def use both!, Aphogee lasts about 4 weeks.. So timing is easy. 😊
Thank you Jesus!!!🙌🏽🙌🏽 Sis, you have Blessed me tremendously with this video. I’ve been struggling with my natural hair for 3 yrs now, only to become so frustrated and overwhelmed. I was told about Olaplex about 3 weeks ago and this weekend getting a treatment on my hair. I rate this a 10⭐️ video and so glad I subscribed today. It was like divine intervention this video popped up after I was done praying!!🥰🙌🏽❤️ . Have a Blessed day
You have to get into your OWN maintenance routine! We use both in our house Olaplex is NOT a protein and hair needs protein. My 3 go-tos 1. Marcia tiextera Keratin (every 5 months) 2. Olaplex every two weeks wash or once a month in winter 3. Alpha G as needed every other month or once a month. My daughter LOVES color so she does the Olaplex more often 💕 great info
I have extremeeee breakage(dry and brittle natural hair) I’m trying to nurse it back to good health. What do you think a good maintenance routine would be for me?
@faith hodge I had extreme breakage. I went with design essentials platinum moisture 3 step system. Shampoo Mask and leave in. I've had great results. My hair stopped breaking by about 85% I used to have so much hair come out after paddle brushing. I just need to add the protein treatments now
Protein treaments are not permanent. So repeated use may be need. You are awesome.
This was the best break down I could have asked for. Thank you for your service!
Excellent video!! ♥️❤️ I am taking charge of caring for and embracing my hair! Thank you
New subbie btw!!
You explained it best...im a official fan!
THANK YOU!! This was super helpful!!
I’m sold next relaxer I’m getting olaplex #3 . Thank you for this video because nobody has explained it like this and now I know my hair needs it
Great video, thanks for the information.
Thanks for the scientific knowledge behind this video. 👏🏽 but where did you get your top from. It’s so gorgeous. Thanks 😊
Hi there, really enjoyed your video. And a good explanation...Thank you for sharing 😊👍🙏
Love the explanation NEW SUBSCRIBER 💕💕
Hi. I’m new to Natural Hair Care. I want to provide healthy hair for myself and all my clients. Thanks for sharing this information. It’s very helpful.
Thank you. Very much needed
Really enjoyed this video, you explained it so its really easy to understand the difference between the two. I keep seeing positive things about olaplex! I am definitely considering it now. You and your hair are beautiful by the way 😊🥰
Olaplex behaves like protein on my hair, so I add moisture after. As far as protein treatments, they should be done as needed not on a schedule. Protein treatments are like medicine for the hair. You don’t take medicine if you’re not sick. I would only use a protein treatment after a chemical service or if your hair needs it. Once the problem is corrected, there is no need to keep adding protein. For example, my shampoo and conditioner has enough protein in small amounts to keep my hair balanced. There is no need for me to add more protein on top of that on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis.
I agree, but some of us need protein on a monthly basis - my hair definitely does.
a protein treatment doesn't "correct" your hair. damaged hair cannot be "corrected." it has to be cut off. a protein treatment is more like a band-aid. it bonds to your hair and temporarily fills the gaps in the damaged hair cuticle. this reduces breakage and helps you to retain length as your hair grows out.. since the treatment is temporary, you do need to be on some sort of regular schedule (every 4 weeks, for example), and you can keep trimming the damaged ends as healthy hair is coming in.
So when you say use it "when your hair NEEDS it", when is that...what are the indicators? I am battling after effects of covid with serious hair shedding. Nothing really to take medically but I do want to know how to get it through this tough cycle to help with trying to keep it healthy...COMMENTS FROM ALL WELCOMED!!
I just did an aphogee treatment and I'm not sure if it damaged my hair or my hair was already damaged on it's own. All I know if I have alot of breakage at the top of my hair. Help!
@@brownsuga810 Try a tea rinse. Lots of videos on RUclips.
This was the MOST helpful hair video I’ve ever watched, TYSM from all of us hair challenged people lol.
Thanks for this information! I'm naturally HiPo and was wanting to incorporate Olaplex into my moisture/protein regimen. So helpful!! 💖
I have locs and just applied no.0 and 3 together like two hours ago and won't rinse out for another two hours 😂. I can't wait to feel my hair after this. I have two conditioning caps and a bonnet on to keep it moist
I tried both and Aphagee really made a big difference olaplex 3 was like just a Normal conditioner
Hi, in what order and how long between treatments?
@@angelafouche-whitney3553 yes I will like to know how it works
Olaplex info @ 4:58
your a Godsend
Thanks 😊
Thank you very much for your video, very helpful ❤
I use both Olaplex 3 and The Mender - botanika protein treatments along with a deep conditioner before and after installing braids
The informations are super useful thank u ❤
Great job very informative thank you
so informative! and your hair is beautiful! Olaplex no3 here i come lol 🙋♀️
thank you for this video I finally understand the difference between both products. I have the aphogee 2 step and have only applied the product twice. I not really notice a big difference but i know i needed to do it because I bleached my hair. def want to buy the olaplex because my hair has lost its curl
Olaplex has worked wonders for me! Even on my first try. I used 3 times a week then 2 times then once a week. It’s great!
I've been Apogee for a year now has really really really made my hair grow without constant protective styles, I also added in a steamer which OMG OMG YALL JUST IF YOU HAVE LOW POROSITY HAIR TRY IT OUT, but now I feel like it has slowed down and I want my hair thicker as well, however I'm also recovering from knee surgery so it's hard to keep up with my regimen at the moment so I was considering Olaplex brand now, I am realizing when your hair evolves you may have to change your products
Very informative. Thanks.
Thank you loved this video I love olaplex it's wonderful how would you incorporate using both of them which one would you use first is my question or could you use them back to back?? New subscriber
Well explained! Thank youuuuuu!
Great video. Thanks so much
Good video.. but can you give tips on what order You will follow to combine Olaplex 3 ,Olaplex oil and moisturizer.. thanks
Great video!
Oh geez... lady.. thank you for this information. 🥰
So since Olaplex works internally does it not bond new proteins to the hair shaft? I was curious if pairing Olaplex with Aphogee would be able to actually mend the hair beyond temporarily filling the gaps. Obviously hair is just dead keratin so it cant be “healed” but if Olaplex does as it says Ive wondered if it at least can make protein treatments last longer by holding new proteins in the broken areas for longer periods of time.
So we need both . A bond builder and a protein treatment
Could you talk about the rest of the line? Like the shampoo and conditioner and etc?
Can I just say thank you for breaking down all of this. The top of my hair is straight and silky but the underneath side is spiral curls the hair stands are so thick and pours, they break off beyond belief and feel rough. Not one stylist has ever been able to tell me what I need to do for this but I don’t think the people I’ve seen have experience with textured hair. Leave in conditioners etc have done nothing!! It’s so crazy to me that part of my hair is so incredibly healthy, but then the underside is a nightmare I’ve never had any idea what to do with!
Omg try Olaplex 3 it’s brilliant x
My hair is similar except the waves st the back can get weird too. Very coarse underneath but more sift/ less curls on top.
Have you considered a keratin treatment or Cezanne?
My hair is like this too, so annoying! I just tried the olaplex 3 tonight and I already love it! I’ve used the aphogee before too
Good info! Thanks.
I highly recommend Olaplex #0 with #3 along with protein/moisture treatments. Saved my chemically overprocessed hair. Olaplex is the BOMB !!
Hii, do you first use the olaplex and then moisture your hair in the same day?
@@matyilea7858 yes you can do a moisture treatment in the same day i recommend doing it after the olaplex treatment
Thank u❤️
@Huma Shaikh yes
@@Boudicaisback what is a moisture treatment? Is keratin one?
Your hair looks strong and healthy
Wow nobody’s ever explained the difference between the 3 treatments like this. So helpful! Now if only I could figure out what is a good protein treatment and what is a good deep moisture treatment. Halp!! I have (had) naturally curly hair that is bleached and the curl pattern is absolutely destroyed. Plus handfuls come out in the shower and it’s pure frizz and pure tangled breakage. Anyone have tips?? 🙏
Ummm sounds like u need olaplex and a good deep conditioner…..
I really happy to find this video - currently i use olaplex and was wondering if i could do some protein treatment allongside it.
Great video ❤️❤️❤️
Can the same olaplex product that is used during bleaching be used during relaxing? Or will the relaxer not be able to work because olaplex is protecting the sulfide bonds from being broken?
Hey! Do you have any info on using olaplex and products with protein on the same day? I’ve read it can be risky
You remind me of Beautiful from Flavor of Love 2. Y’all both pretty.
Is it okay to apply a protein treatment just right after hair steaming ?
Great breakdown! I love Olaplex and did recognize it's different from a protein treatment. Some folks who keep comparing it to Curlsmith's new product should prolly watch this.
I don't do those (protein treatments) often, lol...except for Black Rice water rinses and using conditioners with hydrolized proteins.
Hello which would be best for helping frizzy waves go back to a nicer curl? Mine have bleach and heat damage.
I love love lovvveee Olaplex! The whole line!
Hello beautiful, I know I'm late but I'm catching up thank you for explaining this your topics are always interesting ❤️❤️
fish chicken Thank you babe! Life update video coming today. Be sure to check it out. It’ll be a tough conversation but it’s an important one to have. Miss you. Hope you’re well ❤️😘
@@AlexisKimberlyy yes I am and I hope the same for you too ❤️
Hi! Thank you so much for this excellent breakdown-question: I just bought the Olaplex line and a protein treatment (my hair is in need of both), which would you suggest I do first?
Same! Came here for this.
Does olaplex repair the damage done after kerasmoothening? Can we undergo olaplex treatment immediately after kerasmoothening like one day or within week after kerasmoothening??
Thank you so much, so glad I'm subscribe to you.
Love Wilson I’m so happy you’re here! ❤️❤️
Very informative video. I always use the 2 min reconstructer as pre-poo, than shampoo, follow by Olaplex than a moisturizing deep conditioning treatment which gives me amazing results every time.
Thank you
Hi, how often do you follow this regimen? Do you do it on every wash day or only on relaxer day?
@@eniyemission474 Hi,
I do this a week before relaxer and on relaxer day.
@@islandec4840 thanks. Please which of the olaplex do you use.
@@eniyemission474 Olaplex #3
So you use a protein treatment, then olaplex and then shampoo and conditioner?
Thank you this helps so much. I love use the Aphogee. every four months before coloring my hair. I never really understood the Olaplex. I would love to try the Olaplex 3. I just subscribed to your channel.
Get no.0 too! Use no. 0 for like ten mins. First then add number 3 and put a conditioning cap on and leave it on for a good twenty minutes of not longer then rinse out. It works 68 percent better than just using number 3 alone
Using number 0 helps open the cuticle to let number 3 do it's full potential 😁
after using olaplex does it regrow lost hair from breakage? my hair hasn’t grown back since it fell out and it’s been awhile
Thank you so much!!!
Can I use my olaplex shampoo and conditioner with the aphogee protein treatment ???
Would these products work on the ends of my hair if my ends are straight ?
Hello! Can I use them both on the same wash day?
Also a bit confused on the Cream of a Nature Plex Defense system. Is it only a bond rebuilder or is it a protein treatment? Or both
It's just a bond builder NOT a protein.
Thanks for the good info. I see my hair respond well to protein treaments( I make my own), but
I tried olaplex and really didn't see any difference in my hair. The only thing that I can think is that maybe my hair is not very damaged? I have also tried bond corrector n.2 by FANOLA and got a little better results. It's also MUCH less expensive that olaplex.
I'm curious about your routine and hair. Do you color or use any chemicals that maybe damaging? I'm curious about olaplex but I doubt I'd see results since I don't chemical and only occasionally use heat. Aphogee 2 minute is great. I also have used ion keratin smoothing . I diy with oil blends, aloe or yogurt masks. Curious about your hair and fanola. Thanks
Hello, I hope your day is going well! I have watched several videos indicating that No. 3 only works on clean hair. So it may help to first use the No. 4 shampoo (2 lathers and 2 rinses as usual), then use No 3, RINSE again, and then use either No 5 or No 8 (but not both on the same day).Then the final RINSE before applying styling products. I just purchased the No 3 after using the No 4 and then either No 5 or No 8 for about a month. My hair styist recommended that I alternate between No 5 and No 8 every other week. Along with my prepoo, my hair texture is improving. Thanks and have a very blessed week!
U tried Olaplex smoothing ?
dont use number 3¡¡¡ go to the salon and ask for number 1 and 2 treatment, every week depending on your hair damage and ask the stylist to follow it with a heavy moisturizing mask such as the amika one, the bumble and bumble, morrocan oil hydrating or the purology one, the davines nou nou one is great to, yo dont want to use heave protein mask after olaplex it will make your hair rough and brittle because of the overload of repairing products. PRO TIP: Go buy a clarifying shampoo with no silicones no proteins nothing special, then wash your hair with it before olaplex treatments. You need a detox shampoo with sulfates so that your hair is out of any coating that could prevent olaplex to penetrate in your hair and that way you are not wasting product sitting on top of your hair
Thank you!
What can i use i am indian and have indian hair but i have lightened it to ash blonde. My hair is no longer strong. Its damaged. What kind of protein product can i use?
thank you so much!
I didn’t know about olaplex, thank you
Munashe Ndoora You’re oh so welcome! ❤️
Olaplex is temporary repair. I was told that K18 is permanent repair. However K18 repairs different bonds than Olaplex.
Great video- about to try Olaplex for the first time as I have bleached hair- thank you!
how did you find it?! my hair is also bleached
