FAQs
How often should I use Olaplex No.4P Shampoo?
For best results, use once or twice a week, or as needed to maintain your desired blonde tone. Adjust frequency based on your hair's toning needs and porosity.
Can I use this shampoo every day?
It is not recommended to use this highly concentrated toning shampoo every day, as it may lead to over-toning or dryness. It's designed for targeted toning and strengthening, typically 1-2 times per week.
What is the difference between Olaplex No.4 and No.4P?
Olaplex No.4 is the Bond Maintenance Shampoo, focused on general hair repair and hydration. Olaplex No.4P is the Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo, which includes the same repairing benefits but also contains purple pigments to neutralize brassy tones.
Is Olaplex No.4P safe for color-treated hair?
Yes, Olaplex No.4P is safe for all blonde, lightened, and color-treated hair types. It helps maintain the vibrancy of your color while toning.
Will this shampoo damage my hair?
No, Olaplex No.4P is formulated with their patented Bond Building Technology™, which works to repair and strengthen hair bonds, rather than causing damage. However, like any toning shampoo, over-usage could potentially lead to dryness if not balanced with proper conditioning.
How long should I leave the shampoo on my hair?
For light toning, leave on for 1-3 minutes. For more intense toning to combat significant brassiness, you can leave it on for up to 5 minutes. Always rinse thoroughly.
What does 'highly concentrated' mean for this shampoo?
It means the shampoo contains a high level of active toning ingredients (purple pigments) and Bond Building Technology™. This allows for effective neutralization of brassiness and hair repair with less product, but also means it needs to be used carefully to avoid over-toning.
Troubleshooting
Hair appears too cool or purple
Reduce the frequency of use or shorten the leave-in time. Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly.
Shampoo is not lathering well
Ensure hair is thoroughly wet before application. You may need to use a slightly larger amount on very thick or long hair.
Scalp feels dry after use
Ensure you are following with a moisturizing conditioner like Olaplex No.5. Try to concentrate lathering on the hair lengths rather than prolonged scalp contact.
Brassiness is not fully neutralized
Ensure you are applying enough product and allowing it to sit for the recommended time (up to 5 minutes for intense toning). Check if the hair is very porous, which might require more frequent or longer applications.
