"I just saw an advert claiming that it can. Does castor oil make a good conditioner? " You wouldn’t think so if you looked at my hair! But I’m experimenting and it’s early days. | |||

"I just saw an advert claiming that it can. Does castor oil make a good conditioner? " If your hair is towel dry but still damp then yes, the oil helps to seal the moisture into the hair. Castor oil is quite a hard core way to do it though and you may need to wash it out after | |||

"I think olaplex can. Lightening weakens and destroys the molecular bonds within the hair, hence blonde hair traditionally needing to be short and so many tales about bleached hair cracking and flaking off. Olaplex helps the bonds to rebuild. Peeps says “it’s awful, my hair was so dry!” That’s cos olaplex isn’t moisturising it’s rebuilding. Those of us who need it see the difference olaplex makes! This is my understanding as a non-hair-scientist " My hairdresser uses olaplex on my hair, it makes it a bit greasy | |||

"I'm sure if a product claims to do something it has to actually live up to its claims. It would be false advertising otherwise. " That's what I thought. Maybe it's one of those things that doesn't really mean anything | |||

"If it could surely you could reconstruct it at a molecular level to change colour and then no need to dye it? Funny how both hair and nails are made of the same kind of stuff, but we never need to molecular reconstruct nails. " I thought that too | |||

"I just saw an advert claiming that it can. Does castor oil make a good conditioner? " It's ok for massaging into the scalp, I know you can use it sparingly on brows and lashes too. Pickle might know, he's growing his hair. | |||

"I sell the stuff and I am still rather suspicious tbh" I'm going to really listen to the advert next time it's on the telly. In case I've misheard the claim | |||

Funny how both hair and nails are made of the same kind of stuff, but we never need to molecular reconstruct nails. I thought that too "Opi has bought out something similar to Olaplex, just for nails... Claims are very similar at least and the woman from Opi even referred to it as Olaplex for nails | |||

"I sell the stuff and I am still rather suspicious tbh I'm going to really listen to the advert next time it's on the telly. In case I've misheard the claim " Olaplex has a patent on the technology (maybe not the right word) involved so I can only assume what they claim is true... But if you do use it, try not to too often as it can be bad... Like an overdose of protein or something... I am a sceptic about most of the hair and beauty industry, despite working in it, can you tell? lol | |||

My hairdresser uses it on me every eight weeks and I wouldn't use it in between I find it makes my hair greasy. The stuff I've seen advertised says it's 'formulated to protect hair bonds at molecular level, leaving hair visibly healthier, regenerated from surface damage. ' So cleverly worded I'd say. I'm very sceptical about the beauty industry too | |||

Funny how both hair and nails are made of the same kind of stuff, but we never need to molecular reconstruct nails. I thought that too "I mean you can break some of the bonds that give a protein it's shape (I do it loads in the lab). But that isn't molecular reconstruction in my opinion. If we could molecularly deconstruct protein (which is what hair is made up of) and make it work differently. I'm absolutely sure we'd be using the technology in a more beneficial way than hair care products. | |||

I'll donate you some split ends and see if regenerates the protein to fix them  | |||

I'll donate you some split ends and see if regenerates the protein to fix them "I think the wording is clever in that they will claim that the use of 'visibly' implies that although it 'looks' regenerated it only appears to be.  | |||

Are advertisers allowed to make such claims? "Not sure, but Im not going to be convinced by '7% of 3 people qusetioned' type disclaimer crap usually accompanying cosmetic/ hair product adverts | |||
