For the first time ever, there was a bit of a break in Calgary in the month of November, so I left town for a few days. I always take all my hair care with me, but this year, I grabbed this Olaplex Smooth Your Style Hair Kit to cover my styling bases. I don’t know why I thought this would be just enough for 4 days – it’s probably enough product for 4 months. The no. 6 Leave-In Styling Cream is a full size (100ml), and for a little bit more, you also get the No. 9 (serum), the No. 3 (pre-shampoo treatment) and a mini of the oil.
If you thought that you use these in order (3, 6, 7, 9), you’d be wrong. Actually, the number 9 is a light gel serum (watery in finish) and you apply it as the first styling step. No. 7 is an oil that’s applied to finish the routine – add shine – or you can mix it with No. 6. Whatever order you use, I like the idea that I’m get the benefits of Olaplex every step of the way. I also recommend leaving the No. 3 in the shower because you’re supposed to apply it to soaking wet hair. So I wet my hair, apply No. 3, wait a while and then shampoo it out. It works in as little as 3 minutes.
That’s the routine – and it’s working.
