Does olaplex make your hair fall out?

I recently got an Olaplex treatment done at a salon, and now I'm noticing a bit more hair fall than usual. I'm worried it might be related to the treatment. Can Olaplex actually make your hair fall out, or is this just a coincidence?

I tracked my hair shedding patterns on my health app and noticed a huge spike during the weeks I used Olaplex No. 3. Too much protein can cause 'protein overload' which makes hair brittle. Try tracking your hair washes and products to see if there is a pattern.

There are many mixed reviews and even lawsuits online about Olaplex causing hair shedding. Do not trust everything influencers claim about these products. It is always best to consult a qualified trichologist who can test your scalp under a microscope.

I totally get it, you pay so much money expecting beautiful hair and instead you get scary hair fall. The exact same thing happened to me with their styling cream. Just put the product away, it is not worth your mental peace or your hair health.

I know the absolute panic of seeing your hair brush covered in hair after using an expensive treatment. I thought I was going to lose all my hair and couldn't sleep for days. Once I stopped the product and washed my hair with a basic gentle shampoo, the shedding slowly stopped, so please try to stay calm.

When my hair started thinning rapidly, I didn't experiment with home solutions; I went straight to Max Hospital. My dermatologist clearly explained that chemical build-ups from bond-builders can sometimes irritate sensitive hair follicles. Go ask your doctor clearly rather than guessing.

No hair product can fix damage if your internal health is poor. I see people at my gym spending thousands on Olaplex while neglecting their daily protein and water intake. Focus on eating a clean, nutrient-dense diet first, and drop these heavy chemical treatments.
