What is the patented ingredient in OLAPLEX?

Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate

Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate is Olaplex's patented ingredient. This technology works by finding single sulfur hydrogen bonds and cross-linking them back together to form disulfide bonds.

"Olaplex is repairing each hair strand as a whole (from base to ends)," says Robertson. "It's finding bonds that have been broken down by any means (hair color, chemical straighteners, blow dryers, etc.) and reconnecting them both ionically and covalently.

Personal note:

As a dedicated over processing of hair individual with bleach blonde hair for years, I can honestly say I have tried not using Olaplex however I cannot live without it. The integrity of my hair being compromised with dying is not worth it to me and I see and feel the difference that Olaplex clearly delivers!
