Whether it increases gloss, light reflection, or a smoother-looking hair surface.
Things to watch

This is a clarifying shampoo designed for weekly or as‑needed use to remove buildup from hard water minerals, pollution, chlorine, heavy metals, excess oil, and styling products. It is free of sulfates, silicones, parabens, phthalates, and added protein, and includes panthenol for hydration and Olaplex’s bond‑building ingredient (bis‑aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate). Fragrance and fragrance allergens are present, which may be a concern for sensitive scalps. The evidence is based on official Olaplex ingredient listings and product claims.
