If you regularly colour your hair,
you’ll know the damage it can
lead to – especially if using
bleach-based products.
InthesalonJulie suggests
asking your hairdresser about
Olaplex. ‘It’s a revolutionary
new way to colour without
compromising the integrity
of your hair,’ says Julie. ‘Olaplex
is a single active ingredient, free
from silicones, oils, proteins,
aldehydes and parabens, and is
designed to reconnect the bonds
which are broken by the process
of chemically treating or thermal
styling hair, leaving you with
soft, strong, healthy locks. It can
be used alongside your normal
colour, from natural shades to
ombré and balayage, whether
you have highlights, gloss or
permanent to help cover greys.’
Cameron Diaz and Jennifer
Lopez (below) have both had this
hot new treatment. Cost: £30 to
£60 on top of your normal
colouring cost.

‘It’s suitable for all hair types,
especially Afro-Caribbean hair.
And it’s great as it doesn’t use
damaging chemicals such as
formaldehyde. A low pH solution
is applied to open the hair cuticle,
allowing a special blend of keratin,
plant extracts and vitamins to enter
the hair. Flat iron straighteners
are then used to heat seal, leaving
you with stronger, smoother
hair that’s much easier to
style – even in damp and
humid conditions.
‘Depending on your
hair type, results will last
for several months.’
