Our verdict

A short pre-shampoo bond treatment for bleached, colored or heat-worn hair, applied before you wash. It is a rinse-out repair step, so it does not replace your conditioner.

Overview

Olaplex makes this pre-shampoo cream to rebuild broken bonds inside each strand before you wash. It goes onto wet hair from roots to ends, rests for a few minutes, then rinses out ahead of shampoo and conditioner.

Bond repair in a few minutes per shower suits hair damaged by bleach, color or heat. The routine still needs shampoo and conditioner after, so it adds a step rather than replacing one.

Who it's for

Lightened, chemically treated and heat-styled hair that snaps or frays. People with healthy, untreated hair may see little change.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fast pre-wash step
  • Safe on color-treated hair
  • Oils reduce frizz and flyaways
Cons
  • Adds a step before shampoo
  • Strength claims tested on bleached hair
  • Small tube for long hair

Performance notes

Repair comes from bond building chemistry that reconnects broken links inside the hair cortex. A humectant draws in moisture and plant oils smooth the cuticle. Results build with repeated use rather than one session.
