Does olaplex cause hair loss?

Question

I've heard so much about Olaplex treatments for hair repair, and I was thinking of trying it. But a friend warned me that some people have reported hair loss after using it. Is there any truth to Olaplex causing hair loss? I'm a bit hesitant now.

These expensive international products are not always suited for our weather and water. I had terrible hair fall with Olaplex No. 3 because it caused too much protein buildup on my hair. Just switch back to normal oiling and a simple, budget-friendly mild shampoo for a few weeks.

I've seen people at my gym complain about this product causing hair breakage. Honestly, healthy hair starts from within with proper protein intake and hydration. If a product is causing shedding, drop it immediately and focus on your nutrition.

My daughter spent half her pocket money on this Olaplex treatment and ended up with dry hair that kept snapping off. I told her to stop using it and made her apply simple homemade egg masks instead. Please watch what products your children are using from social media trends.

I don't have enough hair left to risk using these high-end molecular repair creams! My wife bought it and said her hair fall actually went up. I think sticking to basic soap and water is safer and certainly keeps my wallet much heavier.

Because of my PCOS, my hair is already fragile and prone to shedding. I tried Olaplex hoping it would strengthen my strands, but the heavy protein made them stiff and caused more breakage. I can't say it causes hair loss for everyone, but be very cautious if your hair is already thinning.
