Alfaparf, Joico or Olaplex ? Which products should you choose and why?

The upcoming mothers day has brought a lot of questions about hair products suitable for blondes. As the hair experts we are particularly asked by our clients about the best products with reconstructive and rebuilding properties. Therefore, in this article we are going to focus on the cosmetics that can repair damaged hair. Of course Alfaparf Milano and Joico have a lot more product ranges to offer than Olaplex. So, if you are looking for something to nourish or add moisture to your hair or increase hair volume check out some of the special offers on Alfaparf and Joico products in our online shop.

Alfaparf Semi Di Lino

Out of all the Alfaparf Semi di Lino range the dark green reconstructive products are our favourite. We can recommend the Alfaparf Reparative Shampoo and Treatment mask for everyone who is looking for good quality product at a budget price. Why do we like this range so much? The intensive reparative & reconstructing treatment mask is formulated with Cortex Repair & Médula de Bambú that works inside the hair's fiber core to repair structural damage. The product is blended with Colour Fix complex to protect & maintain colour intensity and loaded with Shine Fix complex to deliver 24-hour time release shine.

This reparative range is capable of visibly reducing breakage and rebuild hair shaft without overloading hair. At the moment we do have special offers on these products in our online shop. you can purchase them separately at €12.95 Shampoo and €17.50 Mask or as a product combo for €26.90.

Joico Ireland - Defy Damage

Defy damage from Joico is definitely a step up from the Semi Di Lino Reparative range. Because its a newer product than Alfaparf it is also more technologically advanced. Again - we are in love with the shampoo and treatment mask. What will you find inside this amazing reparative treatment ? Cutting-edge technology, merged with powerful protectants, that create brilliantly resilient and healthy-looking hair.

NEW SMARTRELEASE TECHNOLOGY

One-of-a-kind liposome delivery system packs a punch by continuously releasing a trifecta of healthy-hair ingredients—Rosehip Oil, Arginine, and Keratin—to help repair, strengthen, and protect hair from the cumulative effects of daily styling.

PROTECTIVE LIPID

The exact kind found in healthy hair—acts as the first line of defense to help prevent thermal, chemical, styling, and UV damage. Results are visible with the very first application.

MORINGA SEED OIL

A rich source of antioxidants, Vitamins A and E, Zinc, and Silica—all fundamental to creating healthy, strong, damage-resistant hair—helps to boost shine and softness.

ARGININE

A smart-bonding molecule with both positive and negative sites, helps to strengthen hair bonds and encourage bond renewal.

Joico Defy Damage is a perfect product for people that can spend a few euros more on their hair cosmetics. The results of the treatment are pretty much instant. You can count on improved hair appearance as well as smooth and ultra soft hair. The investment in shampoo is €19.95 and treatment mask €24.90

Olaplex Ireland

We have to say that OLAPLEX was a love at first sight scenario, so we might be a tinny bit biased - but OLAPLEX No.0 and OLAPLEX No.3 is that magic product that the hairdressing industry has been waiting for.

Both, the no.0 and no.3 contain Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. This amazing molecule is the single ingredient that makes OLAPLEX products so special. This mysterious molecule has been patented by OLAPLEX and is responsible for rebuilding the hair at molecular level. What it does is rejoin the disulphide bonds that have been broken by excessive heat, mechanical damage or during chemical treatments.... and just like that we get repaired healthy hair.

N°0 acts as an intensive repair booster working in tandem with N°3 to receive your most intense repair. This means 68% more repair & 3x stronger hair when used together. What is cool about this range of products is that they have been tested clinically and their effectiveness is backed up by science. Currently OMG Studio in Carlow is running a special offer for a combo of these two products. The investment associated with repair treatment with OLAPLEX no.0 and no.3 is only €55 (until stock lasts).

Verdict

So Alfaparf, Joico or Olaplex? What is your favourite? Which one should you buy for yourself or as a gift for the upcoming mothers day? In this situation the statement " The more expensive the product the better the ingredients and technology included in it" is true. However, we have to say that: which ever of these 3 product ranges you choose, you will make a good choice. All of these brands are loved by Irish mommies.
