During the holidays, Briogeo sent me a small gift set featuring one of their bestselling products, the Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo (C$57 for 236 ml).

Olaplex | No.3 Hair Perfector, No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo & No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner: Review
Olaplex is a hair care brand I've heard a lot about but never tried. Personally, I'm not big on hair care products and usually make do with whatever is on sale at the drugstore. Therefore, it's always interesting to try out luxury hair care to see if the results justify the price. Established in 2014, Olaplex is known for its star ingredient called bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, which works by repairing and restoring damaged hair. Today I want to share with you my thoughts on their classic three-step treatment. To read all about it, click......
