Hi Nadine ..I am over 60 have fine fair/silver hair in a shoulder length bob, believe me when I say I have tried everything ( no expense spared ) on products to increase volume and density..the only product that works for me is Kerastase Densifique shampoo and conditioner. My hair looks and feels fuller and my silver hair shines which is a difficult thing to achieve..I also take vitamins and eat healthily.
I really appreciated the quite in-depth science in this video. I’m an Olaplex girl myself (no.2, weekly 4C shampoos, 6 and 7) but this video has got me interested in this new product. I found this video far better than a lot of the other bond builder vids here, which tend to gloss over the science. Thanks!
Please do a deep dive into nails…ageing, ridges, vertical cracks. Generally thin, weak and peeling - ahhhh. Cant do gel nails to cover as it wrecks them further. Does collagen help or is it hype? Supplements ? Help please! Ps. Hair looks great 😊
Maybe asking them questions to a nail technician or specialist might help better? I’ve never got a reply from Nadine on here but you could always DM her on Instagram. So sorry you are having so much trouble 😔
I hope Nadine answers your question and does a video as well. Same problems here and the mail techs in my area know nothing about building healthier nails.
Hi! OLAPLEX works internally to repair the disulfide bonds and strengthens the hair from the outside in. It works great to help repair damage and to keep the hair healthy and strong. We are not affiliated with K18. Thank you so much for the love and support. We appreciate you! ♥️♥️♥️
Dear Nadine. I have never replied to anybody before but I so respect you. I have watched you for ages you are so informative but I just wonder if you have ever noticed how much you are always touching the front of your hair? Just a thought
I take inositol, amazing supplement that made my hair grow like crazy! Even eyelashes.. it’s an essential for woman as it helps with anxiety, mood stabiliser, PCOS, regulates insulin the list goes on. I don’t shed as much hair and it’s definitely strong and healthy given i bleach my hair.
I’ve just started my journey around hair loss after being diagnosed with Chronic telogen effluvium. Changing up diet and have some specialist treatments to put on - and now going to try this! Thanks for sharing.
I’m in the end stages of Telogen Effluvium what are you using on your hair if you don’t mind me asking. As coming out of it my hair is so dry and found out my hair is protein sensitive.
@@anitab348 I’ve just started on something called mediceuticals? Only just started though so not sure if any other effects, also started taking vit b and iron tablets
@@NinaN-eq4fy thank you so much for your wonderful answer. I am exactly the same as you. I had loads of lovely long full of life and body wavy hair and now even though others can’t see it as I had so much hair I’ve lost 50% of my hair and it’s so “stringy” frizzy and dull. Mine wasn’t from COVID either. I also went to see a Trichologist and had blood work. Found out my T3 is borderline waiting to see a doc to get everything ruled out. Unfortunately K18 and Olaplex don’t work for me as they are heavy on the protein which means my hair gets even more crispy. But going to give a go at everything else along with the rosemary and peppermint oil as the person below said. Isn’t it amazing how we take our hair for granted and how it can so quickly affect how we feel. Good luck with all your hair growth
Is this okay to use if you air dry your hair as I have wavy hair & I’m trying to not use heat? Also I will need to use another product like a curl cream & a mousse on top, will it still work. My hair is fine & gets frizzy as it’s wavy.
Hi Nadine, is the Living Proof bond builder protein based? I too get breakage off the ends like you and I've read that you can put too much protein into the hair?
It is not protein based in the way protein treatments are, it contains peptides not unlike a lot of other bond builders. I haven't used it but I've seen a breakdown on the ingredients. It looks like a good maintenance product.
very informative. i've been trying to decide on a bond builder for recent damage. but because i think my damage is relatively deep. i'm trying to fnd out just exactly how they all work before deciding. living proof has caught my interest the most however. Do you have any idea when Living Proof's patent will be confirmed?
So informative 🙏🏼,, as you said after bond builders( currently using K8) I tend to miss the shine so I use shumura camellia oil and run it thru ends to give it a gloss … I have to be careful as it can get heavy but if I get it just right adds a little shine. My question nagging in my mind is the oil working against the bonds as I don’t feel I’m making headway of ‘stronger glossier hair’ despite all the preventions ,…
Does it contain or rebuild the protein in hair like the Joico treatment? I turned my hair to hay using that once a week😬. So I stick to Olaplex 0 and 3 when I feel my hair is damaged.
Would you shampoo & condition your hair in the usual way before applying this product or miss out the conditioner and just use the Living Proof product? 💐💐
Nadine I am going to be incredibly nosey and ask for a new home tour... How have your Fur Babies adjusted? Bet they love a home with a garden!😻 I am a Olaplex fan but will check out Living Proof👍 All the very best to you from Brisbane Down Under🦘
Out of interest, have you tried the Zuvi Halo hairdryer on your damaged hair? I have silver hair now and wondered whether I’d be less likely to get damage with it. As always, value your opinion x
I don’t know about less damage but I found the Zuvi was like the Dyson and changed the texture of my fine hair to a rougher hair shaft and my hair felt rough rather than silky. Ended up returning it and returning to my normal hairdryer. Also found the Zuvi a bit of a faff as your hair needs to be almost dry before using the light setting.
I’m sorry but K18 BLOWS this product out of the water! Living Proof shampoos & conditioners are not very complex formulas either. My hair always looks crappy after using any of their products.
Doesn't the inkey list pca bond builder do all 3 for 12.99.... hmmmmm I think this is a pass im a level 10 platinum have been for a year nothing touches olaplex 0 sprayed on dry damaged hair then when saturated after 10 mins don't rinse spritz to re wet if needed snd follow with no8 mask generously = perfection nadine try this as an intensive combo its insane works for me and keeps my hair incredible
Hello Nadine, I have been following you for a few years now, and I don't understand what you mean when you say that your hair is damaged...? Are you talking about what happened with a bad hair do years back....But after so many years, your hair has grown since then!! If this can help, I would like to invite you to check your hair when it drops out, and you will most probably notice that the bulb is there, meaning that the hair doesn't break from blow drying and so forth, but that it has a shorter life time on your head. Furthermore, take a look at all women with long hair, and you will see, that just like you (and me) , the hair is shorter in front than at the back (it only grows to a certain length then drops), that's seems to be the way nature has decided with women's hair: Lizz truss, Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mariah Carey .... These bond builders may help by giving more texture, BUT WILL NOT HELP THE HAIR FROM DROPPING OUT!😔
They do a new product called Lipid Shield which is the equivalent and it is brilliant. You use it every 2-3 washes, I use it and it makes my hair feel amazing. Hope this helps
Hi does a Bond Builders thicken the hair I would be most appreciate if you could let me know as my hair is now going thinner Many thanks for the video Sincerely Bee. U K
Tried both olaplex and K18, no difference at all, expensive and they give no moisture to the hair or make it soft. I know that they aren’t conditioners. Best products I have used are Michael Van Clarke- 3 more inches, the pre wash treatment is really great all have no silicones. Also, nobody ever talks about the quality of water with regards to hair.
They aren't meant to give Moisture to the hair and that's not what bond building is. Softness isn't a sign of health and it's just the outer layer K18 and Olaplex go deep into your hair and actually repair the fibers of it
This is so cool as I always wanted to try Ola Plex but it was never right for my non-bleached hair. Which is gray and frizzy. I’ve tried the L’Oreal wonder water and while it’s OK it doesn’t really repair my hair long-term. Can’t wait to try this although my alter does not have it in the travel size unfortunately. So I’m counting on you to steer me right Nadine 👍
Hello Dear.. How are you doing today? I'm sorry for asking , i was actually reading through the comments when i came across your comment.. You seems to be a person who is interested in self care/ beauty and I like that,you're actually bearing my late mother's name that's why I commented…i don't know can we be friends? Do you got goggle chat?
@@frederickedward8461 of course your not and yet your asking a stranger to Google chat when that's what scammers always do and they always add a sob story.
@@RachelDee In a nutshell Olaplex is cheaper and used as a pre-shampoo treatment and you need to wait for about 10-20 minutes. With k18 you use this after you shampoo ( no conditioner) and dry your hair, then you apply the product and wait for 4 minutes before styling. So Olaplex takes much longer but it is cheaper, with k18 being more expensive per ml. In terms of performance and result I don't see huge amount of difference, my hair is wavy and mostly damaged by heat and balayage treatment. I personally would go with k18 because it's much easier to use, and use Olaplex in between. If you have time, and normal day to day damage and are willing to put in the work go with Olaplex and save yourself the money. But if your hair is extremely damaged, overly bleached then I think k18 might have a slighter ege. Also note that with k18, you can't use a conditioner, so if you have easily tangled hair, bare that in mind beforehand.
Nadine ove hair like you and i find bond builders really help but nak mineral defense ĺeave in treatment seems to help me grow front hair that and b12 .Dessiacated organs are something to consider from pasture raised animals.Sounds gross i know When i stopped nak my front pieces stop growing . We are fighting genetic blueprints for hair i suppose .Keeping what we have is important as we age .Sublingual vitamins help restore mineral and vitamins too.
K18 is a conditioner! Albeit a good one. Living proof does NOT do what olaplex does because olaplex has 8 world wide patents and nobody else can do what olaplex does. You say it works on the surface. It does not. It goes inside the hair where the disulfied bonds are. Also, olaplex DOES protect undamaged hair by strengthening it. Over proteinizing hair can make it brittle and break. Know that to be careful of products that boast protein. Where do you get your info because clearly you have been misinformed. Said with respect as I've been a follower for years.
I don't think these products help with hair loss or breakage. Bleaching and constant touching are the key for breakage in my opinion (you do not touch your back hair and they do not break off). Hair loss is caused by age or genetics. No product can help. I am sorry!

It's not a treatment, but if you want a non damaging long lasting polish, look into Dazzle Dry. They have a ridge filler too.
Dazzle dry is the best. They have a ridge filler, but you have to use their whole system. It doesn't work with other brands.
