Olaplex and Protein are two completely different treatments, the comparison isn’t equal in terms of what each are meant to do to hair. Olaplex is a bond builder, which helps strengthen whats in your hair cuticle to fuse proteins in the hair together. Protein treatments replenish lost protein and that’s it. You should do both, but you can use Olaplex No.3 more often. It however is NOT a conditioning treatment, you’re supposed to shampoo it out of your hair after treatment. Protein however should not be done too often as a protein build up causes hair to become hard and at risk for even more breakage, what you’re trying to avoid initially when choosing a protein treatment. For maximum benefit of a protein treatment you shouldn’t use it more than the recommendation for dyeing your hair, minimum 4-6 weeks between protein treatments.
Choosing one over the other (building bonds with Olaplex OR replenishing lost protein with a protein treatment) is leaving you with one problem and only addressing the other. For maximum benefit you should use both just at different times for the optimum health and strength of your hair.
NativeNYerChicHK This is the comment I've been looking for for DAYS! Thank you for addressing this because I have both Olaplex and Aphogee and was wondering if these could be used at the same time. Now I know to NOT use Olaplex on the day I do an Aphogee treatment. Thanks so much for sharing!
NativeNYerChicHK no one asked.
NativeNYerChicHK THANK you 4 the detailed explanation. It is very useful information! 😘
1. If your hair needs protein, is it counterproductive to do Olaplex 3 BEFORE a protein treatment?
2. Is it beneficial or harmful to do a protein treatment then immediately AFTER do an Olapex 3 treatment? If harmful, how long should one wait to do an Olapex treatment after a protein treatment?
Really appreciate you adding your expertise! 😍
elle hub You’re welcome!!
1. Chances are if you need protein added back then your bonds are damaged too, so you can do either or first, there doesn’t need to be one before the other. Myself, when I started this “get my hair healthy” process I had begun by stripping out all of my old hair dye, probably 10 years worth, my hair is long. I did the protein filler first with my first re-dye application, then I went in with the Olaplex stand alone treatment about 2 weeks later. Now I dye about every 6 weeks (every other time using Protein so about every 12 wks) and in between I use the Olaplex stand alone treatment monthly. This schedule works really well for my hair.
2. I wouldn’t do both on the same day, you want to see how your hair reacts to each product. Give it at least a week or two. Also, with a protein treatment you don’t quite wash it out the same way you need to for the Olaplex treatment. I use the Colorful Brand Neutral Protein Filler when I dye my hair as it also helps to distribute hair dye down the strands more evenly because where there is damage/breakage your hair soaks up hair dye faster, filling up the holes left by depleted lost proteins, making these areas much darker than the healthy new growth near the roots. So the protein filler actually fills a lot of the damage and then the dye can work more uniformly down each strand of hair. And then about three weeks later I do an Olaplex treatment, in between when I dye my hair, which is about every 6 weeks or so. But I don’t always use the Protein filler, I see how my hair feels. If you use protein fillers too much or too often it causes your hair to become hard and brittle, prone to more breakage. So now for maintenance, if I’m just touching up my roots and not really running the dye down the strands then I skip the Protein treatment. I’d say on average I do the protein every 3 months or so, maybe every other time I’m using use on my hair. However, the Olaplex I try to do a monthly treatment. You’ll have less lost proteins if your building the bonds up stronger. I’ve noticed a tremendous amount of healing using this product. My hair hasn’t been this healthy in YEARS.
Good luck!!!!!
@@NativeNYerChicHK Awesome reply! So useful! I am sure you have helped a LOT of people. Thanks a million for taking the time!!! 💖💖💖
P.S. ...and who says NYers rn't kind! 😅😘
Aphogee 2 Step works to replace protein, and it works on the outside of the hair shaft. Olaplex is a bond builder and works on the inside of the hair shaft. The hair requires protein and moisture to be healthy. Olaplex will bond the hair and allow it to absorb the protein and moisture better, as well as allowing color to be better deposited in the hair.
Correct✅✅✅✅
I have been looking for this very straight forward information FOREVER!!
I needed to know which treatment ro do 1st. Now know to do the Aphogee protein treatment AFTER the Olaplex #3....THANK YOU!!!!
I'm gonna start using it just on my relaxer touch up days
That olaplex is gonna last me
One time only
Great demo! Next time put the aphogee two step in a spray bottle. It is not as messy
Cali you are a champ girl. You took one for the team . Whatever you try next I'm here for it.🙏
One is a protein treatment and moisture balancing treatment... the other reconstructs broken bonds internally. 2 completely different things.
Yeah, she addressed it already.
Indeed, she did mention that clearly.
The hair is made up of protein its probably the same product
Aphogee is not a moisture balancing treatment; neither of the products are. What baffles me is the 100 people that 👍your comment. It’s been 3 yrs since you posted that, hopefully y’all know better now
Thank You! I was considering doing this as well, sans the video portion. Still might try olaplex after aphoge runs out.
I enjoy your subtle sense of humor.
Thanks for making this video. I really learned so much and I love your hair.
Thanks good video! Please do not detangle or use any tool when using the aphrogee 2 step otherwise you will get breakage. The directions on the bottle are clear about that.
This is NOT a “take home version “. That is the third step in the Olaplex treatment. The first two steps are only available to licensed professionals. And the Aphogee is not the same thing. The two should not be compared.
Definitely see more shrinkage and definition on the ApHogee side IMO. Nice video!
Aphogee is to strengthen.
Protein treatments are temporary. But Olaplex AKA bond building is permanent. So Olaplex is more beneficial to put your coin in. Which is why it's more expensive. Because it's not temporary like protein treatments
But you should still do both
That's not true. Olaplex works temporarily
Btw, you wash before applying Aphogee Protein treatment (for best results use a chelating shampoo to remove previous product build up). So wash, then Aphogee…hood dryer is best, rinse & re-rinse, apply deep penetrating conditioner or Balancing Conditioner, cover w/plastic cap allow to set for at least 15-20 minutes, rinse well. Lightly oil, Dry & style as usual. (ALWAYS minimizing heat and over-manipulation). Your next 2-3 shampoos & conditionings should be a moisturizing one. Repeat the process. Your hair AND scalp will be strong and healthy. Also, Biotin supplements help and a great multi-vitamin OR prenatal supplement! AND make sure your iron levels are within a healthy range. Iron deficiency anemia will cause hair loss if severe enough. It will take 6-12 months to restore your hair but positive results should be noticed almost immediately. Like less hair loss/shedding when washing or combing. Hope this helps.
I enjoyed the demonstration.
Thanks for the video..i will try both...thanks again for the informative video..
The aphogee products are best applied with a squirt bottle to assure through saturation.
Apogee was once a professional product and I feel that it still should be years ago it made the hair much harder than the one in use now. So people didn't understand how and when to use it and broke their hair
Same thing today. These are both amazing products when used properly.
Maybe it’s just me but how can y’all tell the difference just out the shower? It’s at least 24hrs to judge how a product makes your hair feels. For better comparison, at least a weak or a few other applications. But do ya thang sis.
Thank you so much I am going shopping
Awesome video! I’ve heard horror stories about the Aphogee treatment 😩 I’ve been so scared to try it. I’ve been doing home made protein treatments but I’m looking for a store bought option. This demo was awesome and I learned from it!
The Mane Choice also has a great protein treatment system/kit.
Don't be scared of it! I have Caucasian hair and i bleached, colored and permed mine... Not all at once obviously, but my hair was damaged after the perm. I used this aphogee protein treatment once without using heat on it, and it's really a miracle!!! My hair is better than before i even did the perm. Try it, u wont be dissapointed. And follow the directions of course and everything will be ok.
My hair still broke off after two big chops and using aphogee on my relaxed hair. Never again
Aphogee is a good product I know for sure I’ve used it. I just got olaplex and have not used it yet. That liquid aphogee becomes hard and you must use part 2 to soften the hair. It leaves a very good hydration to the hair.
Great video! Thank you!
Nicely done, thank you for the demo
With any protein treatment, you use it right after shampoo. You shampooing your hair after the protein treatment just strips out all the work you just put in lol
That’s what I said!! And it’s most likely why both sides feel the exact same 😂
I always use rubber gloves with Aphogee and have the hair pretty wet! Messy, but worth it!
Smart and beautiful lady!! Perfect scientific approach.
I been wondering if I should try olaplex everybody been suggesting I use it but I use apHogee every so often so I didn’t think I needed olaplex …. Thank you for this video
I use olaplex 1,2 then follow up with aphogee 2 step a week later these 2 products are different and both are great my hair is able to retain length more than ever and yes olaplex 1, 2 Are saloon only thing but you can still buy it expensive but worth it
I found mine on Amazon.
Very good video.
Thanks for the video, if possible, can you do this kind of comparison video on someone with color damaged hair? I'm trying to see which is more beneficial for previously bleached hair.
These DO help colored hair, I use both n both r REALLY good. They both definitely made a difference for me especially Olaplex. I regularly bleach my dark hair blonde/other light colors so my hair is EXTREMELY fucked up, split all the way up but it actually feels really good. I use Olaplex every shower, n the aphogee maybe once a month. I also use a BUNCH of other stuff, I put like 3masks/leave ins after I shower n before I dry n straighten. N after I straighten I use brigeo castor oil n that makes my "fly aways" n ends look less shitty
What I like to do is apply olaplex no1 to link those broken bonds, then wash my hair with shampoo ( once the bonds are mended, shampoo won't break them lol) then apply my aphogee 2 step then rinse and apply olaplex no2. And my hair feels almost virgin.
I do this on my curly clients that want their curl pattern back and the results are unbelievable.
Anyway, usually when hair is chemically damaged, protein is needed and bonds need to be mend together. Both work in synergy.
You did not read the instructions
It depend on the treatement, but you can wash
These two products are completely different like comparing apples something not even food related... you need the science of hair to understand
Great video... I was wondering about those two... I use have been using Aphogee for over 25 years and I love it.... yes I'm old... lol... I have been wanting to try Olaplex.... thanks to Cyndoll ... a awesome youtube stylist...
I use both I really can't compare them though because they do two different things so I really can't substitute one for the other Aphogee is a protein where olaplex is a bond builder You really do need the both
Super super informative video. Thanks for stressing the difference between protein and bond builders. Protein is great but can be so damaging if not used properly. And most people don’t speak about them in any level of detail. Great video
I feel the aphogee gave your hair bounce ... and that is what makes it better. Olaplex is cool but not as effective as everyone claims it to be... oh I can't live without olaplex kind of thing. just a commercial product.
Actually Olaplex is a must for those of us who like to play in chemicals (i.e coloring and relaxers)
One isn’t better than the other since they aren’t the same type of products. One is a protein treatment and the other is a Bonding treatment, it’s like comparing apples to oranges. Different products that do different things to the hair.
I'm just gonna say... I use Olaplex because I like to color my own hair. The no. 3 has the least amount of the disulfide bond builder complex because it is meant for a more daily strengthening use. If you are going to do a treatment...you should use the GOLDEN colored liquid. (No 1) Take 1oz and add 3oz of water to it and use THAT as a treatment.
But if your hair is need of protein, go with aphogee!!
I agree that the No1 is much more effective than No3, and it definitely should be as it's intentionally manufactured to be the more intense product. However, No1 isn't available for the public to purchase.
There are certainly a lot of places you can purchase "black market" Olaplex, but there's no way to know that what you're getting is an authentic product. If given the choice between a potentially fake No1 that isn't going to offer any benefit at all, or an authentic No3 that's guaranteed to contain the active ingredient, you're better off just purchasing the No3.
Olaplex fixes the bonds that are broken in the hair.
I know the aphogee wasn't applied correctly, it's needs FULL SATURATION and you know it's user properly because your hair will be extremely hard no movement and the way you were running your hands through it and fluffing it there wasnt enough and/or it wasn't try enough.
Beautiful hair! I would really love to see you do a product review of Straight Silk Spray by JuniorLabs. It absolutely maintains my hair soft and silky ❤️❤️
I wasn't sure which I liked best when I used them either. Aphogee made my hair feel stronger, but I couldn't seem to hold moisture afterwards. My hair is ombre, so my ends are very light bleach blonde & my curls were looked frayed. I actually used them at the same time. I used the aphogee, then the balancing conditioner, of course. Then instead of washing, I used the olaplex & left it in for about an hour. Then washed, conditioned & deep conditioned. The process took a long time, but my hair feels completely rejuvenated. It's soft, shiny & my curl pattern on the ends looks just like the virgin hair on the rest of my hair which I haven't colored. It was honestly the best results I've had using aphogee. 😍🙌 I do like olaplex on it's own, it does make your hair shiny.

Can someone tell me if aphogher and shea moisture strength and restore work the same?
Hello your hair is beautiful! Why did you try the Olaplex? Do you experience breakage? I’m debating to try it again... but your hair looks healthy
The company website says it's good for heat damaged and basically for damage from everyday manipulation...in addition to hair damaged from chemical processes.
The way those curls started poppin after putting in that Olaplex, made me jealous....lmmfao. Have a blessed day....
I like it.
I use Olaplex for hair strenthening. I only use a small dab on my hair and leave it in, so I don't think it's meant to be used up in only a couple of uses. It would make my short hair greasy and stiff which is not a good look. Maybe black hair requires more but a half bottle seems excessive. I will say that I would not trust Amazon's version of Olaplex because stylists have told me that those formulas are not as effective because it's meant to be a professional use product. I would compare it to over the counter Benadryl vs. prescription strength. I take two to mimic the prescription version.
I do trust the version I bought from my stylist and like it alot. I am having less strands coming out during wash and combing.
Hon, love your passion but these two products are like comparing apples to potatoes.....not in the same genus. The NYChick (forgive me girl for getting that wrong) nailed it spot on if you follow her 2-3 threads. Olaplex has a site and an app that they allow non stylists to load and learn and even ask questions. The last thing they want is for you to lose that crown!
It’s awesome you wanna share and that is pure love for the world....it’s just that there is so much misinformation out there that is like a bad game of telephone tag. Take a look at her thread, load the Ola app and keep learning doll and definitely keep sharing the word, just share the right info. Wrong info....people will run with it as gospel and end up with problems and blame you, the nature of humans, sadly.
You mean well and your heart is pure.
PS: it’s pronounced A-Fo-Jee.
Be good to yourself♥️
If your hair was wetter it would work better
how long should i wait to try the aphogee after i’ve used olaplex?
With Olaplex No. 3, the instructions state that you have to shampoo it out of your hair to complete the treatment so waiting until your next wash day would probably be best
great video thanx
Why r ppl commenting shit u ALREADY said.....lol yea both r REALLY good n definitely make a difference. I use Olaplex every shower, CAN'T go without it
I’ve used both and I really do not care for Olaplex.. yes they are 2 diff products doing something different. My hair was hardened by Olaplex .. I used 3 x weeks apart. I’ve tried the new Olaplex 4 and 5 and found nothing special about it. Neither bad or that good just meh.
For reference my hair is bleached and toned has some damage it’s not extreme. I have better results with Aphogee. Also it’s not the Olaplex high price tag I will spend for good products.
TFS
It’s Tashmeen I became friends with a hairstylist, she gets me Olaplex no 3 for $14 because of her cosmetology license. If it wasn't for that....NO WAY would I buy this stuff. But I find it works well for me, especially one week after having an Olaplex stand alone treatment.
It’s Tashmeen Olaplex made my hair hard as well and I used step 1 and step 2 and shampooed and deep conditioned my hair🤔it was hard and still for weeks? And I got my from a professional store.... I wasn’t impressed... I’m natural and wand to stop breakage...what was your experience if you don’t mind sharing
sugamehoney well it left my hair dry .. I had the stand alone salon treatment and they recently came out with 4 and 5 and u don’t need a license to purchase. Maybe my hair wasn’t damaged enough IDK really .. Now the aphogee shampoo and the reconstructor works well also the step 2 which you only need to do once maybe twice a month. Also the Aphogee keratin reconstructor spray is great to use after washing and prior to styling.. Also let me say that I mix honey and conditioner and some olive oil and aloe Vera juice and sit under a plastic cap or dryer and I am having very good results .. give that a try ..
Also be consistent with conditioning treatments .. and you will see results
I found after sooo many yrs it is key to hair health
I think aphogee is the mother of olaplex. Aphogee bond 6 to 8 weeks to the hair.
Only marketing for olaplex. Olaplex bond the hair too
Aphogee is not the mother, or related to Olaplex at all. They are two completely different companies who’s products do two different things to hair
Aphogee and Olaplex saved my hair. If it wasn't for those 2 products, I would've had shave off all my hair. These are my miracle products
How often do you use each?
@@journeytoself8067 If you don’t dye your hair often I would use the Aphogee protein treatment not more dan once a month
How often did you use each of them? I’ve had major damage after bleaching my hair at a hair salon and I’m trying to save the hair I didn’t cut... advise needed ASAP!
My hair is natural and curly. But in the front of my hair I have some completely straight pieces. Will these help my curls come back?
Her hair is like a natural sponge that just sucks up and disappears whatever she puts in there ☺
That's what High Porosity hair does!
Do olaplex on dirty wet hair and than do the other treatment to enhance the olaplex, I do the same but in Italy there's no aphogee instead I use something very similar.
What product do you use?
Why on dirty hair? Do you want the natural oils in your hair to be there before applying? Would adding coconut oil before e treatment have the same impact ?
I think the Olaplex " use on dry hair" does not apply to naturals that use oils. I can't imagine any product working effectively after using a Shea butter
Not comparable
Will the olaplex help my straight pieces in my curls ?
Johntae Cooper Will it curl straight hair? No.
If them were curly before it might help get the shape back
There’s a possibility it could, but there’s no telling if it will until you actually use it. Definitely worth the trying
Ah-foe-jeee....
🤣🤣
If you are deciding between Olaplex and Aphogee, pick Olaplex.
Olaplex is wayyyy better than Aphogee! Its like comparing collagen and protein powder. Olaplex gets to the "bone of the hair" giving you bouncy flexible elastic strong hair. Aphogee just made my hair hard which made it break and snap. Olaplex No1+2 or No3 (or all) should be a staple in every relaxed girls regimen.
I almost sure your not supposed to shampoo hair after either treatment?? 🤔
Yes you can.
you can shampoo and condition after the olaplex treatment it says so on the instructions. some ppl just choose to do it after shampooing or on cleaner hair. just a preference
I saw the difference right away. Olaplex made her hair look alot better than the other side.
One step she had results.
There is nothing to compare totally two different products.
Such an annoying comment. She said that in the video. And both are strengthening products so why can't she compare 😩
@@patb2582 because they strengthen the hair in different ways. it's more appropriate to compare 2 bond rebuilders and 2 protein treatments side by side. not a protein treatment vs a bond rebuilder
Olaplex wins!
Depends on what.
If your hair needs serious protein. (After bleaching the hell out of your hair) olaplex won't replenish that lost protein.
Olaplex is like insurance for your hair, it will protect it from mechanical, chemical and probably heat damage. It will mend the bonds but it won't add the lost protein.
In this case aphogee for the win.
I do believe both of them are amazing products and it's fantastic to have both as both work in synergy.
Olaplex All the way
Aphogee is protein. No go for low porosity 👎
A (like in cat)...fo (like in low)...G (pronounce the letter g)
Aphogee💜
It’s 3 words- a PH ogee... pronounced a PH OG
You should check out Linzi's response (above), she wrote it the way it's pronounced - Ah-foe-jeee.... Always good to help, but make sure you're providing good advice!
These are very different treatments,very seldom does natural hair need rebuilding treatments ,hair that has been compromised by relaxers colors dominicans etc..Somethings are better left to licensed professionals .I'm so sick of random ppl making videos ,all I can say is a hard head makes a bald head🙄😶🙄
netraminter Would’ve been more effective to have left out the second part of your comment. I’m so sick of people being “unnecessarily” mean and critical towards others who have done “them” no harm.
Let them live their life, you shouldn't be concerned on what people do to their hair, if they fuck up, more money for you.
I hate that bs about being bitter because it wasn't by a professional.
Some professionals can’t do hair properly!
she literally explained the differences within the first couple of minutes. I'm so sick of people making comments on videos they don't even watch, all I can say is you know what they say about people who make ASSumptions🙄🙄🙄
