What is OLAPLEX

What Is OLAPLEX And Why Should You Be Using It? 

/in , , , , /by

OLAPLEX is used by many people to help permanently repair damaged hair from the inside out. With its patented single-ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, it is a one-of-a-kind product that works to restore the broken bonds in your hair. 

 

How Does It Work?

 

This hair-strengthening treatment re-builds the bonds within the hair that are affected by colour treatments, heat damage, sun exposure and so much more.

OLAPLEX says “our hair contains millions of disulfide bonds. These bonds give the hair its structure, strength, and stability. It restores damaged and compromised hair by repairing it from the inside out.” 

With so many steps, the range of products can seem a little daunting at first. That’s why we’ve broken them down for you: 

  • OLAPLEX No.0 – The newest arrival in the collection primes hair for deeper repair with the highest dose of OLAPLEX technology. Use this as a two-part system alongside No.3 for best results.
  • OLAPLEX No.1 & No. 2 – These are exclusive to professionals and only for salon use.
  • OLAPLEX No.3 – This is the product that put it on the map. No.3 is an at-home treatment that visibly reduces breakage and strengthens damaged hair. 
  • OLAPLEX No.4 – No.4 addresses everyday stresses such as damage, split ends and unwanted frizz. Use a regular shampoo to refresh your hair as well as repair it. 
  • OLAPLEX No.5 – Used in conjunction with No.4, OLAPLEX No.5 restores, repairs and hydrates without adding excess weight to the hair. 
  • OLAPLEX No.6 – No.6 is a highly concentrated leave-in smoothing cream, which prevents frizz and flyaways – perfect for all hair types! 
  • OLAPLEX No.7 – An ultra-lightweight, reparative styling oil that dramatically increases shine, adds softness and strength and enhances all hair types and textures.

 

How Can It Help My Hair? 

 

We’re all guilty of not using heat protection when we’re in a rush, or not looking after our colour-treated hair as well as we could do. This product is here to save us from our own laziness. Whether the damage is thermal, mechanical or chemical, OLAPLEX has a product to rebuild the bonds in your hair and bring it right back to health. 

 

Does It Really Work?

 

Take it from the celebs, OLAPLEX is a miracle worker when it comes to revitalising damaged hair. Drew Barrymore herself raved about the amazing results she saw after using it just once. 

“It’s amazing how much your hair changes over the course of your life—it just doesn’t bounce back the same way. But this strengthens my hair in one wash. It’s amazing.”

Autumn and Winter Hair Accessories

/in , , , , , /by

Autumn and winter have long been about putting together an outfit that is both stylish and practical, and one that positions us as the height of fashion whilst ensuring that we’re sufficiently prepared to face anything that the weather might throw at us.

But with the seasonal cold often conspiring to make our hair unmanageable, and freezing temperatures tempting us to stay in bed that little bit longer, this can leave us at the mercy of the most adverse effects of the year’s final two seasons and severely lacking in inspiration when it comes to what to do keep our one-time luscious locks en vogue!

At Flip-In, we feel your pain, which is why it’s given us great pleasure to see that hair accessories are still very much the go-to solution for those who want to make a stand against the increasingly unforgiving conditions that have begun to emerge as we move deeper into October.

From super-sized scrunchies and vibrant bandanas to retro claw clips and loud-and-proud headbands, there’s an awful lot of hair inspo going round, so let us clue you in on how to make these must-have accessories an integral part of your autumn-winter wardrobe.

 

Super scrunchies

What goes around comes around, and never did this phrase ring truer than when it comes to the popularity of the super scrunchie. As a hair accessory staple since as far back as the ‘80s, plush and overblown statement scrunchies took Instagram by storm earlier this year and it’s clear that this in-your-face way of sporting low ponies and chignons is very much here to stay!

 

Bandanas

Bandanas might conjure up memories of the early 2000s and the baggy-panted vibes of a young Christina Aguilera, but if catwalk trends are to be followed (and when aren’t they?) then world-renowned designers like Dior and Gucci could well be onto something.

Many of those ahead of the curve have sworn by the likes of bandanas and headscarves to keep their hair in style for as long as we can remember, with these patterned twill, cotton or silk accessories capable of both taking our looks to the next level and hiding a multitude of sins.

Pick a colour that matches the rest of your outfit for bonus autumn points!

 

Retro claw clips

Rising to prominence for their role in keeping Jennifer Aniston’s many Friends looks amongst the most iconic in TV history, claw clips have started to show up left, right and centre as of late with our thirst for ‘90s nostalgia seemingly storming into overdrive.

These days, the chunky clip is more commonly seen adorning the likes of A-listers such as Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid – both of whom use this chunky clip to sweep their hair into an effortless twist – the claw clip is useful on those days when you need to assemble a killer look in half the time and now arrive in many delightful styles such as monochrome, pastel and tortoiseshell.

 

Headbands

Washing your hair can sometimes prove more trouble than it’s worth, particularly if you’re already running behind. That’s why you should never underestimate the power of the humble headband. Back in style this season after some much-needed time out, headbands have re-emerged in a big way with padded velvet, tie dye-flecked and knotted pieces leading the charge. Want to hit the snooze and skip that long-overdue shower? Don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone, and neither will your hair!

 

Extensions

We weren’t ever going to end this list any other way, were we? Our innovative, damage-free and temporary hair extensions are a hit all year round, but we often see a surge in their popularity come autumn.

Could this be because of the many seasonal colours we stock or how easily our extensive range of products can allow you to expand on what you’ve already got without committing to a bold new style? Either way, our extensions can help you add something new to your hair this October – and can be fitted and removed in little more than a few minutes!

Achieve The Perfect Post-Lockdown Look With Flip-In Hair

Achieve The Perfect Post-Lockdown Look

/in , , , , /by

It’s been a tough few months even for the best of us, but with lockdown slowly easing, there is now a light at the end of the COVID tunnel. If you want to look your best for that first night out, you don’t need to spend a fortune to change your image – you just need Flip-In Hair!

Flip-In Hair was founded to provide innovative, damage-free hair extension products. Made from 100% human hair, our products can be curled and straightened by heated appliances. With countless options to choose from, you’ll find the perfect companion for your post-lockdown look.

 

Beautifully Bespoke

We have 40 standard colours to choose from, ranging from jet black to light blonde. These can be made up of a 2-tone stripe or a tricolour blend.

If you’re looking for a more personal, one-of-a-kind piece, we offer bespoke orders made specifically to your personal requirements, all for an extra £20. Who knew your perfect match would be such good value?

With our bespoke extensions, you can customise:

  • The length
  • The colour mix
  • The style, with the option of having a ponytail or a straight cut.

The extensions are also reversible, so, by simply adding a block colour overlay to one side, you can create an extra look from the same set of extensions!

 

Flip-In Brilliant

No long-term commitment, no damage, no more traditional hair extensions. Flip-In Hair offers the extensions you love, without all of the unnecessary hassle and maintenance. Our products require no clips, no glue and no weaving and can be added to your hair in an instant without causing any damage.

To use our extensions, put the hair wire on like you would a headband, then move the top section of the hair over for a discreet, natural look. This makes the extensions easily removable, and something that can be achieved in less than a second!

 

Your Dream Hair Is Just A Call Away!

Choosing to have hair extensions is no longer a drawn-out decision – Flip-In gives you style when you need it! To learn more about our bespoke hair extensions, visit our website or contact us on 01926 659 500.

Summer Hair

/in /by

Summer isn’t cancelled!

That’s right, summer 2020 can still be epic. Although many of us are getting fed up of being stuck indoors with all of our travel plans cancelled, there’s still a great summer to be had. 

Take matters into your own hands and use this time to work on yourself, go on long walks and video chat with old friends. Get ready for post-lockdown by resting up, getting some exercise in and stunning your friends with a new look. And no – we don’t mean cutting your own hair!!! 

Add length and volume to your hair with Flip-In Hair products and style them just like you would your own hair for a natural, blended finish. To make things easier, we’ve rounded up some cute ways to practise styling your Flip-In Hair Extensions while in lockdown!

Sleek and Sexy

Whether you’re preparing to celebrate a belated birthday or make a good impression when you get back to the office, the sleek look is worthy of such celebrities as the Hadid sisters, the Kardashian clan and, now, you! 

Make sure you blow-dry and straighten your hair and extensions before fitting them. Rock a middle parting to achieve that extra slicked-down look. The length your Flip-In Hair Extensions can provide you with will give your hairstyle more drama than an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. 

Bouncy Curls 

There’s no better way to make a statement than with big, bouncy curls. Be the life and soul of the party for post-lockdown festivities with hair to match the mood. Flip-In Hair Extensions can be curled just like your natural hair and will add all the volume you’ll need to turn heads. 

Practise your look in lockdown so you nail it on your first night back on the town. 

Beach Waves

While holidays have been cancelled left, right and centre, you can still bring the beach to you! Beach waves are a staple look that always bring an effortlessly chic edge to your outfit. For simple waves, begin about halfway down your hair, around ear-level, and curl your hair loosely in different directions. Do the same to your Flip-In Hair Extensions and fit for mermaid-like length. Shake up your hair and use some salt spray for that tousled effect. 

If you have thinner hair, try our Flip-In Hair Lite to achieve a seamless look. 

Get your dream hair 

Here at Flip-In Hair, we focus on making your dream hair a reality. With luxury hair extensions, you can upgrade your look with no damage to your natural hair. To learn more about our range of products, visit our website. To contact us, call us on 01926 659 500.
