Olaplex NZ | Bond Building Haircare | Zilion
Olaplex in New Zealand
Olaplex is the American haircare brand that made bond building a household term. It began as a salon treatment used during colour and lightening, and its numbered take-home system now covers pre-shampoo treatments, shampoo and conditioner, leave-ins, oils, masks and styling, all built around the brand's patented bond-building technology.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of Olaplex, with the core numbered products, the newer masks and scalp care, 1000ml No.4 and No.5, and duo, trio and quad bundles all listed in NZ dollars. If you want to buy Olaplex online in NZ, from a single No.7 to a full routine, it is all here.
About Olaplex
Hair is held together by disulphide bonds, and colour, bleach, heat and everyday styling break them. Olaplex's patented technology is designed to find and re-link those broken bonds, which is why its products are used on coloured, lightened and heat-styled hair that feels weak, rough or prone to snapping. Every product in the numbered range contains this technology in a different format and strength.
The numbers tell you where each product sits in a routine. No.0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment primes the hair and is followed by No.3, now updated as No.3 Plus Ultimate Repair Treatment, which Olaplex says works in about three minutes. No.4 Shampoo and No.5 Conditioner maintain the bonds every wash, with versions for fine hair, blondes and clarifying. No.6 Bond Smoother, No.7 Bonding Oil and No.9 Bond Protector finish the hair, and No.10 Bond Shaper defines curls.
Alongside the numbers, Olaplex has added masks for different hair densities, a volumising blow-dry mist, a dry shampoo and the 0.5 Scalp Longevity Treatment. Olaplex describes its formulas as colour-safe, and several, including No.4C and No.9, are listed as sulfate-free or silicone-free.
The Olaplex Range
Treatments. No.0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment 155ml and No.3 Plus Ultimate Repair Treatment 100ml are the repair steps, used before shampoo. No.0.5 Scalp Longevity Treatment 50ml is a lightweight scalp serum with a needle-nose applicator.
Olaplex Shampoo covers No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, No.4 Fine for flat hair, No.4P Blonde Enhancer for toning, and the weekly No.4C Clarifying Shampoo.

Olaplex Hair Styling includes No.6 Bond Smoother, No.10 Bond Shaper Curl Defining Gel, Volumizing Blow Dry Mist and, in Olaplex Dry Shampoo, No.4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo.
Oils and serums. No.7 Bonding Oil 30ml and the silicone-free No.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum 90ml both protect against heat up to 232°C, according to Olaplex.
Masks. Weightless Nourishing Mask for fine hair, Rich Hydration Mask for medium to thick or dry hair, and the large 4-in-1 Moisture Mask 370ml for severe dryness.

Benefits of Olaplex
- Repair at the bond level. The patented technology is designed to re-link broken disulphide bonds rather than simply coat the surface.
- Made for coloured and lightened hair. Olaplex describes its products as colour-safe, and they are a natural partner for regular colour and bleach services.
- A clear, numbered routine. Each step has a number, so it is easy to build a routine and see what each product adds.
- Options for every hair type. Fine, thick, curly, blonde and oily-scalp hair each have a dedicated product.
- Heat protection in the finishers. No.7, No.9 and the Volumizing Blow Dry Mist all protect against heat up to 232°C, according to Olaplex.
- Smoother, stronger-feeling hair. Regular use helps reduce breakage, frizz and split ends on damaged hair.
- Litre sizes and bundles. No.4 and No.5 come in 1000ml, and the duos, trio and quad bring the cost of a full routine down.
How to Choose the Right Olaplex Product
Damaged, bleached or over-processed hair: start with No.0 followed by No.3 Plus once or twice a week, then No.4 and No.5 every wash.
Fine or flat hair: No.4 Fine and No.5 Fine, Weightless Nourishing Mask, Volumizing Blow Dry Mist and No.4D Dry Shampoo between washes.
Thick, dry or coarse hair: No.4 and No.5 with Rich Hydration Mask, finished with No.6 Bond Smoother or No.7 Bonding Oil.
Very dry, severely damaged hair: the 4-in-1 Moisture Mask gives the most moisture in the range.
Blonde, lightened or grey hair: No.4P and No.5P for toning, alternated with No.4 and No.5 to stop the tone going too cool.
Curly and wavy hair: No.5L Leave-In for moisture and No.10 Bond Shaper for definition with flexible hold.
Build-up or hard water: No.4C Clarifying Shampoo once a week, before your usual routine.
Scalp care: No.0.5 Scalp Longevity Treatment to hydrate and soothe the scalp.

Can I use No.6 and No.7 together?
Yes. Apply No.6 to damp hair before blow-drying, then a few drops of No.7 on dry ends for shine.

Two to three drops are enough for most hair. Use the metered dropper and work it through damp or dry hair.

Split ends cannot be fully mended, but Olaplex says products such as No.5L seal them straight away and regular bond care reduces breakage. Trims are still needed.

Yes. Olaplex works on any hair type and length. No.4 and No.5 and the No.4D Dry Shampoo are easy places to start.
