Do you struggle with breaking hair or splitting ends? Look no further than the Olaplex no.3 treatment.

The Strengthening Pre-Shampoo Treatment

This creamy textured pre-shampoo treatment will repair and strengthen your hair in just one use. The treatment should be used weekly (max 3x/week) before your shampoo by letting it sit for around 10 minutes.

This product is not a conditioner or a mask but a treatment specializing in restrengthening the hair's bond. What does this mean?

It means that our hair is built up of disulfide bonds. When these bonds break, our hair can feel rougher or show signs of damage: breaking, split ends, and discolouration. To prevent this from happening, Olaplex has come up with a life-saving formula. Tackling the problem where it starts, at a molecular level. Week by week, your hair will be stronger and healthier looking.

The Olaplex pre-shampoo is a vegan-friendly & cruelty-free formula. Suitable for all hair types and conditions, you can share this product with your loved ones.

What's inside?

The no.3 treatment uses the Patented OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology™. Exclusive to Olaplex, it helps to repair and prevent hair damage.

If you are wondering how your hair becomes damaged in the first place, then take a look at our leading causes list:

• Thermal factors: Hair straighteners, curlers, hair dryers, etc.
• Environmental factors: Pollution, cigarette smoke, UV rays, cold, etc.
• Chemical factors: styling products, hair colours, perms, etc.
• Mechanical factors: ard brushing of the hair.

My Experience

I have always suffered from breaking hair and am beginning to understand why. After bleaching my hair a while back, it was never the same again. That's why I purchased Olaplex NO.3

This pre-shampoo treatment had me speechless from the very first use. My hair is much softer now and easy to look after. I love the scent of this product, and the creamy texture instantly makes me feel like I'm in a salon. Overall, my hair is much healthier and bouncy. My tips are much smoother, and my hair doesn't seem to tangle as much, which is a relief. I would 100% recommend this product!

Skincare

For skincare, I am very choosy in my cleansers and have been wanting to try something specifically for my congestion and hormonal acne that flares up few times in a month and leaves those marks for many more months to come. I have used Kate Somerville Exfolikate cleanser and now bought the Kate Somerville Eradikate Cleanser along with the Kate Somerville Eradikate Solution. I opened these both products last week the same day I got it, I have been using them every day and like them both. I will review them in detail in my upcoming posts. Another cleanser I was eyeing since last few months was from La Mer, I bought the La Mer Cleansing Foam for the summers and I have high hopes for it. Perricone Md Nutritive cleanser is a repurchase, I really like it, never dries me out but makes my skin clean and fresh. Another product from Perricone Md I bought is the Perricone Md Chloro Plasma, it is everything you need for detoxifying, cleansing, anti-aging, and what not. I will keep you guys posted on how I like it. Tatcha Lip balm was also on the wishlist for a long time, finally splurged.

Bodycare

For Bodycare, there are mostly the repurchases. Loccitane has been my go-to brand for the body products for many years. I purchased my backups for Loccitane Shower Oil with Almond Oil, Loccitane Lavender Shower Gel, Verbena Body Lotion, Loccitane foot cream for dry skin, Loccitane hand cream for dry feet. Kopari coconut melt is a favorite of mine, for myself and also for my kids, it is so gentle and so hydrating. Fresh Brown Sugar Body polish is a repurchase for the coming season, I need all the exfoliation and glowing skin for the spring and summer dresses.

Haircare

For haircare, I have loved the Drybar The Chaser Shine Cream I purchased last year during the Sephora sale. I wanted to try more from the brand, so got this Drybar Hot Toddy heat and UV protectant for hair. Olaplex has been on all social media and magazines, I had to buy this one, as my hair needs some extra care as they are dull, damaged, falling and I am getting aged obviously. Bumble and Bumble tonic lotion have been in my stash since some time, wanted to buy the invisible oil but I suspect it would be heavy for my medium hair, so got this Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible OilHeatt/UV protecting primer.

Makeup

For makeup, I really controlled myself into not overspending as there are many products which I am testing and some which I purchased during the last sale and didn't get a chance to use. I got my backup of the Tatcha Luminous dewy mist, Tatcha blotting papers, Beauty Blender. Bobbi Brown foundation stick is a cult favorite, so I wanted to try it since last year. Marc Jacobs Omega Bronzer I bought last year but I gifted it to a friend, so got one for myself now. I have not tried anything from Agave yet, so got the lip kit which has deluxe sizes of lip balm, lip scrub to try out the brand.

Two more things I bought are from Surratt Beauty which I am most excited for, the brushes. I did not click the picture as I opened them last week and they were in my brush case. I will click the pictures and post on my Instagram in this week. I will keep you guys posted on the products which I have not reviewed on the blog before, whether they are repurchases or first time buys.

I tried to give you a quick round-up of the products I purchased from Sephora this month. Did you buy something from the Sephora sale or are you planning to? Which products from my Sephora sale would you like to hear about first or want me to review first?
