Thanks for telling me it increases the processing time too, I didn't know that!

Sack it off entirely, mate, what you need is the No. 1 (bleach/colour additive) and the No. 2 ('bond perfector'). The No. 3 is just glorified deep conditioner. Luckily for us, in the years since Olaplex hit the salon world there's been plenty of imitators (usually called something '-plex') of the chemical technology, including one from the Bleach London brand that you seem to love a lot called Alex-plex. Try using the No. 1 Olaplex (or Bleach London Alex-plex, whatever) additive in your bleach, and following it up with the No. 2 on rinsing if you can. Some people have even gone as far as to use either the No. 1 or No. 2 on their own as a leave-in treatment; I can't vouch for using the No.1 on its own (far too spenny for that) but using the No. 2 for this works great. So yeah, keep your No. 3 as a lovely deep conditioner and spend the dollar on the additive and bond 'perfector' stages. It's worth it. Note: the additive increases processing time, but your hair will be far, far stronger for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
