I’ve tested £226 worth of products from this renowned hair brand—these 8 items stand out on their own.

      If you ask any beauty editor or fashion expert about the top shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, or hair oil, you can be sure that Olaplex will be mentioned. This haircare brand has achieved cult status in the beauty world, and it's easy to see why. Established in 2014, Olaplex quickly made a name for itself with its patented bond technology, being one of the first to prioritize bond-building. Following its launch of a range of reparative products, many other brands have begun to follow suit. I've experimented with nearly every Olaplex product available. For those unaware, bleach, heat styling, and brushing can damage the bonds in your hair, leading to a dry and dull appearance. Fortunately, Olaplex's unique technology works to restore these bonds and strengthen your hair, enhancing elasticity and rejuvenating your ends. As a beauty editor who regularly bleaches her hair, I have used Olaplex products for years (spending over £200 on various items), and I have insights into which products are worth the investment. Hence, I thought it appropriate to compile my top recommendations for you to explore. If you're curious about which Olaplex products are worth your money, keep reading...

      During spring and summer, when I tend to lighten my hair, I rely heavily on Olaplex products to maintain my hair’s health.
