Hair loss and damage post olaplex? (Photo)

Question

Hair became very damaged, frizzy and tangled after first use of olaplex. No improvement post hair oil to hydrate or k18 as per hair salon. Now i continue to lose a lot of hair (more than 100 per day). Attempted to get a dermatology consult but next available is in August. Any advise would mean the world. Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear about your hair troubles. It's important to note that Olaplex is generally considered a safe and effective treatment for damaged hair, and it's unusual for it to cause severe damage or hair loss. However, individual reactions to hair products can vary.

In the meantime, here are some things you can try to help improve the condition of your hair:

Avoid heat styling tools and harsh hair products.
Use a gentle shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for damaged hair.
Consider a hair mask or deep conditioning treatment to help repair your hair.
Eat a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals that promote hair health.
Consider taking a biotin supplement, which is known to promote healthy hair growth.
If your hair loss continues or worsens, it's important to see a dermatologist as soon as possible to rule out any underlying medical conditions. In the meantime, try to be gentle with your hair and avoid anything that could further damage it.

Best of luck !

Hi, it's important to note that everyone's hair is different, and some people may have a negative reaction to certain hair care products, including Olaplex. If you have noticed that your hair has become more damaged, frizzy, and tangled, and you are experiencing increased hair loss after using Olaplex, it's possible that you may be having an adverse reaction to the product. In this case, it's best to stop using the product immediately and consult with a hairstylist or a dermatologist to determine the cause of the damage and find the best treatment for your hair.
