Typically, this service incorporates a standalone Olaplex treatment. The process unfolds as follows:

• Consultation: Your stylist will first assess your hair's condition and discuss your desired haircut.
• Olaplex No. 1 Application: The treatment begins with the application of Olaplex No. 1 Bond Multiplier. This concentrated formula is mixed with water and thoroughly saturated onto dry or damp hair from roots to ends. It is left to process for approximately 5–10 minutes, allowing it to penetrate the hair shaft and begin the bond-building process.
• Olaplex No. 2 Application: Without rinsing out the first step, your stylist will then apply Olaplex No. 2 Bond Perfector. This creamy formula contains the same active ingredient as No. 1 and continues the repair work, finding and rebuilding any remaining broken bonds. This is combed through the hair and left to process for a minimum of 10–20 minutes.
• Shampoo and Condition: Following the treatment, your hair will be thoroughly rinsed, followed by a professional shampoo and conditioner to cleanse and moisturize.
• Haircut and Blow-Dry: With your hair now fortified and strengthened, your stylist will proceed with the haircut or trim. The service concludes with a professional blow-dry and styling, leaving your hair not only looking fresh but feeling noticeably healthier, shinier, and more resilient.
• Alternative Method: Some stylists employ Olaplex No. 2 as a cutting lotion, applying it to the hair before the cut to provide strength and slip.

• Consultation and Color Formulation: Your stylist will begin by discussing your desired root color and formulating the appropriate hair color and developer.
• Olaplex No. 1 Integration: A measured amount of Olaplex No. 1 Bond Multiplier is mixed directly into the hair color and developer mixture. This is a crucial step as it works to protect the hair's bonds during the chemical processing.
• Root Color Application: The color mixture containing Olaplex is then applied to your new growth.
• Processing: The color is left to process for the standard amount of time. While the color is developing, some stylists may perform a 'mini-treatment' by applying Olaplex No. 2 to the mid-lengths and ends of the hair that are not being colored. This provides an extra dose of repair to previously colored hair.
• Rinsing and Olaplex No. 2 Treatment: Once the color has processed, it is thoroughly rinsed from the hair. Following the rinse, Olaplex No. 2 Bond Perfector is applied to the entire head of hair and left on for at least 10–20 minutes. This step is essential for completing the bond-repairing process.
• Shampoo, Condition, and Haircut: The hair is then shampooed and conditioned, followed by your desired haircut or trim.
• Blow-Dry and Styling: The service concludes with a professional blow-dry, revealing vibrant, even root coverage and hair that feels significantly stronger and healthier.

• Consultation and Highlight Plan: You and your stylist will discuss the desired placement and brightness of your partial highlights.
• Olaplex in the Lightener: As with the root touch-up, Olaplex No. 1 Bond Multiplier is mixed directly into the lightener or hair color that will be used for the highlights. This proactively protects the hair from the harsh effects of the lightening process.
• Highlight Application: The stylist will then apply the highlights using your preferred technique (e.g., foils, balayage).
• Processing: The highlights are left to process until the desired level of lift is achieved.
• Rinsing and Post-Treatment: After processing, the lightener is rinsed from the hair. Following this, Olaplex No. 2 Bond Perfector is applied to all of the hair and left on for a minimum of 10–20 minutes. This post-coloring treatment is vital for restoring the hair's strength and structure.
• Shampoo, Condition, and Haircut: The Olaplex treatment is then rinsed, followed by a shampoo and conditioning treatment. Your stylist will then proceed with your haircut.
• Blow-Dry and Styling: The service is completed with a professional blow-dry, showcasing your new, vibrant highlights on hair that is healthy, shiny, and resilient to breakage.

By incorporating Olaplex into these common hair services, you can enjoy the aesthetic benefits of a fresh cut and color without compromising the long-term health of your hair. The result is beautiful, vibrant hair that is as strong as it looks.
