Olaplex No.0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment Review

My hair’s been looking a bit dull these days and lucky me, Olaplex has recently launched their new Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment! It’s an addition to their hair treatment line with the same name.

It’s currently at No. 7, but we have yet to wait for a No.1 and 2. So while we’re waiting for those releases, it’s time to review No.0 and see if it’s any good!

No.0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment

This product is described as a professional-inspired, intensive treatment that primes your hair for deeper repair. It strengthens and protects hair integrity using the Olaplex patented bond-building technology.

I’m honestly up for anything that will keep my hair looking and feeling good without spending the big bucks! Who isn’t?!

But what’s so intriguing about this product in the first place is its claims of revitalising hair from virtually all types of damage.

The Hair Treatment is the first step of a two-part haircare treatment along with the Olaplex N°3 Hair Perfector. The Hair Perfector is a cream to be applied to the damp ends of your hair once to twice a week to reduce breakages.

I was tempted to buy both, but then I thought it’s first worth seeing if the Hair Treatment actually works!

Packaging

Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment comes in a semi-transparent plastic tube bottle with a pointed nozzle opening that makes for easy flow, less mess, and less product waste.

It comes styled in Olaplex’s minimal black-and-white design, which I love. It’s very aesthetic to look at and exudes a luxe quality to the overall presentation of the product.

For 155ml or 5.2 fl oz., each bottle costs $28 or about £22, which is not bad at all. In fact, it’s more generous in size compared to other hair treatment products and sits just on the average line for cost so overall, pretty impressed!

Ingredients

The formula is free of DEA, aldehydes and formaldehyde that further damage and deteriorate your scalp and hair. It is nut-free, paraben-free, and gluten-free, and to top it off, it’s vegan and cruelty-free too!

It is infused with the brand’s “Original Bond Builder” formula. A patented complex that noticeably repairs extreme damage. It helps turn dry, brittle hair into soft, shiny, and more resilient hair.

Application & Formula

The Hair Treatment is very easy to use. Apply it to dry hair, focusing from the mid-lengths to the ends, and leave it on for about 10 minutes.

The texture is slightly oily but not an oil. It’s more of a dense liquid, and it’s completely scent-free, which I love.

I didn’t know what to expect the first time, but I was genuinely impressed. Once it dried, my hair immediately felt smoother and softer. It looked shinier and noticeably less coarse after just one use.

I did wonder if the results were temporary, but the next morning my hair was still smooth and manageable. It was easier to detangle and felt lighter and less frizzy overall.

The only downside is how much product you need per use. Even though the nozzle prevents waste, one treatment uses quite a lot, so the bottle won’t last long if you’re using it a couple of times a week.

My Thoughts

The Olaplex No.0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment is true to its claims! It repairs hair instantly for a smoother, shinier, and cleaner texture. But would I purchase it again? Well yes, but perhaps not on a regular basis!

It’s a little on the pricier side considering how much product it comes with. However, on the flip side, it does magic for the hair! It really depends on how badly you need it:)
