Although the Olaplex treatments are “not formulated to treat thinning hair, hair loss, or promote new growth” in particular (via Olaplex), many people credit Olaplex with helping their hair to grow (via Natural Hair Insights). So what gives? And how can Olaplex help hair growth, even if that’s technically not what it’s intended to do?
Well, since Olaplex restores hair from inside the hair shaft, the treatments will help to keep the hair you do have healthy, strong, and breakage-free (via Olaplex). And “healthy hair is growing hair,” per Natural Hair Insights. When your hair has been damaged from treatments like bleaching or relaxing, your hair strands can be brittle and prone to breakage, preventing them from growing as well as they should (via Natural Hair Insights), which means it’s less likely that you’ll achieve those long, luscious locks you’re after. The Olaplex system repairs the breakage and can prevent further damage. Once all the bonds are intact and strong, your hair is much more likely to be strong and healthy, perfect for reaching maximum growth potential.
