Olaplex is a hair care brand founded in 2014 by Dean Christal. The product was developed by two chemists, Eric Presley and Craig Hawker, and is advertised to rebuild broken bonds in hair caused by chemical, thermal, and mechanical damage.
History
Olaplex was founded in 2014 by Dean Christal. In 2019, Olaplex was acquired by Advent International. JuE Wong was the CEO from 2020 until 2023. In October 2023, Olaplex announced that Amanda Baldwin, former CEO of Supergoop, would be taking over in 2024 as CEO of Olaplex. John Bilbrey, executive chair on the board, will serve as interim CEO until 2024.
Ingredients
All Olaplex products contain a patented ingredient called bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, with the aim of rebuilding broken hair disulfide bonds.
Lawsuit
In February 2023, 28 women filed a lawsuit against Olaplex claiming that the products led to damaged hair and hair loss. Olaplex published results from third-party testing to show the products are safe. As of May 2023, no trial date has been set.
