Olaplex No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment provides damaged hair with a concentrated pre-shampoo preparatory step that helps support the repair of weak internal bonds within the hair shaft. It comes in a lightweight, water-based formula containing Olaplex’s patented Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate technology to help strengthen hair damaged by dyes, bleaching, heat, chemical treatments, and frequent styling, while prepping the hair for more intensive repair care when used with Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector.
This treatment is designed for hair suffering from breakage, weakness, structural damage, loss of elasticity, and brittleness, acting as a priming step that helps deliver bond-building technology to the hair before washing. It is not a moisturizing mask or a traditional protein treatment; rather, it focuses on supporting damaged bonds and strengthening the hair's structure so that it appears more resilient and healthier when incorporated into a complete repair routine.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Helps repair damaged bonds within the hair structure caused by repeated damage.
- Relies on OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology to support hair strength and resilience.
- Contains Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, the core ingredient in Olaplex's bond-building technology.
- Helps strengthen weak, brittle hair and reduces breakage susceptibility caused by damage.
- Designed as a preparatory step before using Olaplex No. 3 for a more intensive repair routine.
- Suitable for hair damaged by dyes, color lifting, bleaching, straightening, and chemical treatments.
- Supports hair affected by heat from flat irons, hair dryers, and frequent styling tools.
- Lightweight, water-based formula helps distribute the product from roots to ends without leaving a greasy or heavy creamy texture.
- Protein-free, making it a bond-building treatment rather than a traditional protein mask.
- Not a standalone moisturizing treatment; it is best followed by shampoo, conditioner, or an appropriate hydrating mask.
- Suitable for all hair types and textures, including straight, wavy, curly, and coily hair.
- Combines bond repair, strengthening, priming, and breakage resistance in one pre-shampoo step.
Helps Eliminate:
- The appearance of weak and brittle hair resulting from structural damage.
- Hair susceptibility to breakage due to dyes, bleaching, and heat.
- The look of tired hair after color lifting or chemical treatments.
- Loss of resilience and elasticity in hair lengths.
- The feeling that hair has become prone to breakage or less strong.
- The appearance of repeated damage caused by heat styling.
- Weakened hair structure resulting from harsh routines or multiple treatments.
- The need for a priming step that enhances a hair repair routine before washing.
How to Use:
- Use the product on dry hair before shampooing.

- Apply Olaplex No. 0 to hair from roots to ends, focusing on the lengths and most damaged areas.

- Rinse hair thoroughly, then use appropriate shampoo and conditioner.
- Typically used once a week or according to the degree of damage and hair needs.
