I'm trying to figure out how Olaplex actually works before the No.3 mix arrives over here.
In the meantime, I was wondering about adding a small amount of Olaplex to my leave in spray conditioner. Has anyone tried that and how did you find it? I usually use a leave in conditioner as a cutting lotion.
But will it work OK like that?
I understand that when you mix Olaplex with your tint/bleach, the ammonia opens up the cuticle layer so the Olaplex can get inside to join the single broken bonds together to form new disulphide bonds.
So, if the hair is freshly washed (and conditioned) is the fact that it's damp, enough to swell the cuticle layer so that when you spray the Olaplex/conditioner mix, it can penetrate inside the cortex?
I'm feeling tired so I'm probably rambling and not making much sense...
