Want to know if a product really works? Welcome to Slow Beauty. Since it can take up to six weeks to see results from using a new formula, we have testers try the best and buzziest in hair and skin care for double that amount of time to determine what actually makes a difference.
For as long as I can remember, I have been experimenting with different hair treatments to help manage and enhance my beautiful, coily hair. My 4b/4c strands have been through it all—from relaxers while I was growing up to the keratin treatments I currently receive. I’ve also fallen victim to the endless cycle of heat styling, coloring experiments, and the daily environmental pollutants I’m exposed to while living in NYC. Over time, my once resilient mane has become brittle, tangled, and lackluster.
So, when I was given the opportunity to test the bond-building Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, I couldn’t have been more excited. The science behind it resonated—rebuilding the broken bonds within the hair shaft to restore the strength and shine. It almost seems too good to be true, but here goes nothing!
Final Thoughts
Coming into this experiment, I was skeptical that my damaged hair could be revived in just two months. However, my current hair transformation is a testament to the power of science and a solid haircare routine. From the first wash, I was given a glimmer of hope, and my hair instantly felt more manageable. Afterward, week after week, the change continued. My tresses regained fullness, my dullness turned into a healthy shine, and my ends became stronger. It wasn’t just about aesthetics; it was a source of newfound confidence as well. No longer did I shy away from wearing my hair naturally, and the once-dreaded wash day became a chance to nourish my mane.
Your style is unique in comparison to other people I’ve read stuff from.
