Using Olaplex at home It wasn't that long ago that Olaplex was only available in salons. No. 1 and No. 2 are still for professional use only but hair-obsessed customers can purchase No. 3, $28, at Sephora, Olaplex.com and professional salons. To maintain locks, it's recommended you use the step once a week. If hair is damaged, use it two to three times. In all cases, apply the treatment to damp, toweled-dried hair for a minimum of 10 minutes before rinsing. Follow with shampoo and conditioner.

Speaking of lathering up, Olaplex now offers the No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, $28, and No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, $28, for at-home use, Neos says. The shampoo is color-safe, suitable for all hair types and works to repair and nourish hair. Similarly, the conditioner nourishes and relinks broken bonds for a flawless mane. Even those who have never received a professional Olaplex Stand Alone Treatment can use No. 3, 4 or 5. No. 3 "works for all hair types and on any color of hair from virgin, natural, processed, gray, to compromised and all of the above."
