Plexed about Plex? What you need to know about this new hair technology

May 19, 2017 By Hair Romance 10 Comments

Hair Romance x Schwarzkopf Collaboration

Omegaplex – Olaplex – Fibreplex? Plexed about Plex?

This confusing and amazing new hair technology is the subject of my new Q&A video. I have a very special guest, Grant Withnell, Schwarzkopf National Technical Educator, who can easily explain the how and why of Plex.

I have been following this new technology since it first hit Australia and I can feel the difference in my hair. It’s the reason I’ve gone back to blonde, my hair is still curly and in great condition. I love how it makes my hair but I found it hard to explain how it worked.

It’s one of the most highly searched beauty terms, and really hit the mainstream once Kim Kardashian used it to go blonde.

Check out our video below for the lowdown with Grant.

How good is that ladder analogy? That really helped me understand why my hair feels so much better now because of Plex technology. It goes beyond a conditioning treatment or a keratin treatment to rebuild the bonds within your hair. It really is revolutionising the hair care industry.

In our Q&A we talk about:

  • What is Plex technology?
  • How does Plex work?
  • What does Plex look like?
  • What hair types are best for Plex treatments?
  • I don’t colour my hair, can I still use Plex?
  • How does Plex compare to Keratin treatments?
  • How often should you use Plex?

Previously Plex was only available in salons, and now Schwarzkopf have brought Plex technology home and it’s awesome. You can try Omegaplex at home with the new Colour Specialist range which comes in nine gorgeous shades.

You can also treat your hair on the regular with the new Schwarzkopf Extra Care Fibre Therapy range – the shampoo, conditioner and leave-in treatment all contain Omegaplex.

I love the leave-in after I wash my hair and also to refresh my curls on day two or three. It makes my hair feel incredible.

Thank you to everyone who asked questions on Instagram and thanks to Schwarzkopf for partnering with me on this video.

I love Grant’s ladder analogy and hope this makes Plex easier to understand. If you’ve got any questions about Omegaplex or how to use it, you can ask us in the comments below.

Have you tried Omegaplex yet?

    This is such a good explanation – I had hear of plex but thought it was like a conditioner. Will definitely be checking this out!

        I have curly hair like yours and I just went blonde as well ! And we all know what bleach does to our hair and I have actually been on the hunt for something to restore the nutrients on my hair to make it look healthy and strong again. I am turn “it’s a 10” leave in and I do love it but my curls are still not what they used to be..:( I read and watched the video and now I’m excited to try this product.. I’m assuming I should go for the shampoo and leave in since I treat my hair at the salon but I can’t seem to find it anywhere .:( can you help me find where I can purchase this product ?

          it’s not available in the USA, sorry! You might be able to find the shampoo & conditioner as the brand – Gliss. If you can’t find it, try Olaplex 🙂

    Thanks for this post – I asked the question about Keratin treatments and I see how they’re different now. One question – should I still do both and which should I do first?

      Thanks Juliana! The order doesn’t really matter and you can still do both. The Plex will strengthen your hair and the Keratin will straighten and smooth your hair. As you can do the Plex more frequently, I’d start using the care range before and continue after. It’s best to leave at least a week between colour and keratin treatments xx
