I've Tried £226 Worth of Products From This Cult Hair Brand—These 8 Items Are in a League of Their Own

It's considered one of the best haircare brands in existence.

Ask any beauty editor or fashion insider what the best shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, or hair oil is, and I guarantee that someone will mention Olaplex. Yep, this haircare brand has reached cult status amongst the beauty community, and for good reason.

Founded in 2014, Olaplex suddenly burst onto the haircare scene thanks to its patented bond technology. It was one of the first brands to focus on bond building, and since launching a range of reparative products, many brands have followed suit.

I've tried almost every Olaplex product out there.

If you didn't know, bleach, heat styling and brushing can break the bonds in your hair, and when this happens, your hair can start to look (and feel) dry and lackluster. Luckily, Olaplex's special technology helps repair these bonds and strengthen your hair, restoring elasticity and giving your ends a new lease of life.

As a beauty editor who bleaches their hair regularly, I have used Olaplex products for years (I've tried over £200 worth of the stuff), and I know a thing or two when it comes to what products to invest in from the brand. So much so that I thought it was only right to round up my top picks for you to shop. So, if you want to know which Olaplex products are worth the cash, keep on scrolling...

I always go lighter in the spring and summer months, so I rely a lot on Olaplex products to help keep my hair healthy.
