Olaplex is a damaged hair treatment product developed by two chemists, Eric Presley and Craig Hawk, who invented the chemicals to rebuild broken bonds in hair caused by chemical, thermal and mechanical damage.
Mechanism of action
The first contains bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, which rebuilds broken hair disulfide bonds. Hair's protein, keratin, contains the amino acid cysteine and cysteine contains sulfur atoms; Normally, two sulfurs form a disulfide bond and bind between two proteins, which preserves the shape and texture of the hair, and straightening, curling, and hair dye break the bonds and turn them into free thiol. The second product completes the hair restoration and the third is used for the final protection of the hair by the consumer.
Ingredients
The active ingredient of Olaplex is a chemical compound called bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate.
