Of course, the key to mastering the Olaplex bun is, well, Olaplex products. The brand uses proprietary bond-building technology to repair broken hair bonds, leading to smoother, healthier and more bouncy locks – just know that these are protein-rich treatments, so you don’t want to go overboard. In terms of which specific Olaplex products are best for this look, there has been some controversy (and by controversy we mean heated debates in the comment section).

Don’t worry, we’ve done the research to give you a quick guide to mastering the Olaplex bun and getting the most benefits from these powerful products.

Let’s say you style your hair in the morning and don’t plan to wash until evening or you just want to skip washing your hair that day. You’re just looking for all-day clothes that will help keep those pesky flies at bay and reduce frizz. In this case, use the leave-in styling treatment from the brand: Olaplex No.6 Bond Smoother. This product can be applied to damp or dry hair and is formulated to condition and strengthen. Plus, it works for up to 72 hours (meaning you can delay your wash day… again).

To even out your Olaplex bun for the whole day, add a few drops of the No. 7 Bonding Hair Oil. This product provides a high-gloss finish and helps protect strands from UV exposure.
