Ever wanted to know the difference between these two? Well, hang on tight, here we go! It is important to know that these two ranges have some differences but can also complement each other.
Olaplex: the hair care revolution 🇺🇸
Olaplex is the revolution that came straight from California and has shaken up the world of hairdressing. Olaplex products have been specially designed to protect and repair hair during and after chemical treatments such as coloring, bleaching, perming, but also for hair weakened by mechanical wear (straighteners, curling irons, blow-drying, etc.)
The Olaplex range is very diverse and each product has its own particularity;
- You can start with the Olaplex 0 pre-treatment which prepares your hair to receive the treatment.- Then use Olaplex 3 , it is a home treatment that repairs and maintains the health of sensitized hair by recreating disulfide bridges.
- For the shampoo, you need Olaplex 4. It gently cleanses and repairs.
- Olaplex 5 , it is a moisturizing conditioner to simplify detangling.
- Finally, Olaplex 6 Leave-In Treatment eliminates frizz and hydrates hair and protects it from heat.
And for those days when you can't be bothered to do your whole routine, you can save a day or two of washing time by using Olaplex 4D Dry Shampoo, which absorbs oil without clogging pores for a healthier scalp.
Tokio Inkarami: the miracle from Japan 🇯🇵
On the other side of the globe in Japan, Tokio Inkarami has also revolutionized hair care with its innovative products. Indeed, Tokio Inkarami has created fullrene which allows you to merge the keratin naturally present in your hair AND the synthetic keratin of the product. The brand offers a complete range of keratin and amino acid-based products, from the brush for the scalp and lengths to intensive treatments in the salon, but also a complete routine for the home.
If you are looking for products for a cocooning routine and to pamper your hair, the Tokio range is what you need;
- First step in your routine, Tokio Shampoo : It gently cleanses, nourishes and prepares the hair for the treatment.
- Step two, the Tokio Inkarami Treatment : This is where the real miracle begins! This treatment penetrates deep into the hair to hydrate and strengthen it. Damaged, brittle or dull hair had better watch out!
- The absolute well-being step, the Scalp Brush : You can use it during the treatment to massage your scalp. Not only does it feel good, but it also stimulates blood circulation which promotes hair growth.
- Next comes Tokio Home : A conditioner to finish the treatment, closing the hair cuticles leaving them soft, smooth and shiny.
- The famous Tokio Oil …: This is the final step of your routine. It will add shine and help control frizz, and it smells so good!
- The final touch, Tokio Mist : For a boost of freshness and shine in the middle of the day or before a night out, Tokio Mist is the secret weapon to have in your bag. It instantly revitalizes hair without weighing it down.
So TOKIO, OLAPLEX or both in the end?
Both products have specific benefits. Olaplex is particularly recommended for those who regularly undergo chemical treatments (balayage, coloring), while Tokio Inkarami is perfect for those looking for a deeply nourishing and strengthening treatment.
However, the two brands can complement each other! If your hair is in total PLS, you can combine these two ranges to provide maximum repair to your hair. You will find all the information in this routine . 😉
Both of these treatments are offered at the salon, but if you would like more in-depth advice for your hair type, you can always make a consultation appointment by video or at the salon.
