All loced up...
I had a good experience with #3 myself with fewer hairs in the comb immediately after. I asked a stylist I trust about the product and she said that she had heard good things even though she hadn't used it herself.

So I can use just Step 3 with good results too? What are Step 1 and 2 for then? @faithVA @Beamodel @Cattypus1

Steps 1 and 2 are for your stylist to use while you are getting a color session. 3 is a take home treatment....
same. i know it works because my hair isn't staying "Heat trained" . a blessing and a curse?
for all of you who want to protect from heat damage from using heat only a few times a year, it will definitely work for you.

My hair doesn't look any different either. I have a bottle of #3 so hopefully over the next few uses I will be able to tell the difference. I definitely need a protein treatment because my ends are still splitting.
how so? how many treatments have you done?

I have a section of my hair in the front that was damaged from color. It didn't have the curl pattern the other side did. I did one treatment this past Sunday and it curls up now... I'm natural.

Are people reporting hair loss after using Olaplex.
I read it was people who used it after a pravana hair color treatment. Another said she lost hair at the line of demarcation between blonde hair and her brown roots. She left out a lot of info- like what she used to color her hair, where she bought her treatment and if it's authentic or any other possible variables. I've noticed most people who have reported hair loss online were dyed blondes

Ladies:
Good morning! I'm speculating, but could the hair loss be due to mineral buildup? Mineral buildup from the bleach and/or hard water, given the alleged statistic that 80% of the US has hard water
For safety's sake, I would highly recommend a demineralizer, such as Malibu Wellness, before using Olaplex. Before my treatment of # 1 & 2, I shampooed my hair with the Malibu Demineralizer, with no significant hair loss. I haven't used the Malibu before #3. Also, I would not leave Olaplex in my hair for longer than an hour.
For the record, I journal everything dealing with my hair, I've been keeping my hair fall after each wash session and I do have bleach blonde hair.
Bumping for more ideas, theories, etc...

All of the reports of hair loss I read were from people doing some extreme things on their hair. Not Sure how they could narrow down what it's from.
i don't think hair loss is common. olaplex says their product doesnt contain chemicals that break hair off- it's not a processing treatment like a relaxer.
i don't know why some people are getting hair loss. there could be many other factors that they are leaving out. i think @Atthatday is right,the mineralization from blonde hair dyes combined with olaplex may react poorly, especially if it's a cheap hair bleach.
i haven't clarified for hard water deposits in awhile.

@Beamodel @flyygirlll2 , from a relaxed hair / relaxer stretching perspective, what is Olaplex helping you with?

I haven't used it yet but I wanted it because I've been using heat lately. So I purchased it to prevent damage.

Heat, relaxed and color/bleach. I hope it helps the new growth.

Are you using olaplex 1, 2 or 3. How many treatments have you had. Please report back your results.

In a total of 8 weeks, skipping a week: I've done 1 & 2 twice, and 3 in between.

FaithVA,
Did you rinse #1 out before applying # 2? You said that you left #2 in for 2 hours. I thought #2 was mixed overtop #1. Curious to see how folks are actually using the product and the results they are getting. I used steps 1(5 minutes) and 2 ( on top of step 1 for 20 minuets)a few days ago and initially noticed that my hair was softer and more shiny but now it seems more dry. I rinsed, shampooed, applied protein conditioner and rinsed, followed by moisturizing conditioner for 30 minutes. I will monitor and proceed with caution before trying step 3. My products were purchased by a licensed cosmetologist. I am natural, no color and used product as a stand alone treatment.

I didn't rinse after step 1. I put #2 over #1. I didn't intend to leave #2 in that long but the phone rang.
Right now my hair feels the same. I will do a protein treatment tonight to see if that helps. I will do #3 over the weekend.

I have well water and maybe is part of the problem. To do step 3, I will test small area of hair to see how it responds before doing whole head. Product may not be for me and my hair. BTW, my hair was dry and damaged before olaplex but was getting better. It is now dryer than it was before the treatment. We shall see...
