🧬 Repair, Rebuild, Radiate: The Real Difference Between Olaplex, K2.0, and Evo Treatments

🧬 Repair, Rebuild, Radiate: The Real Difference Between Olaplex, K2.0, and Evo Treatments

.You’ve heard the buzz. You’ve seen the TikToks. You’ve possibly even stood in front of our salon mirror thinking, “Wait... do I need Olaplex, K2.0, or Evo?” First things first: we love all three. They’re like the holy trinity of haircare — but each one brings a different kind of magic to your strands.

Here’s your quick (but juicy) guide to choosing your hair's new BFF.

🪜 Olaplex: The Ladder Repair Crew

Think of your hair like a ladder. The sides are your protein chains, and the rungs? Those are your disulfide bonds — the things that hold your hair together and keep it strong.

Now, daily life (read: heat tools, colour, UV, your toddler's yogurt-covered fingers) breaks those bonds down. When that happens, your hair gets brittle, stretchy, or just downright sad.

Enter Olaplex.
It works inside the hair shaft to repair those broken rungs — scientifically known as disulfide bonds. It’s not a surface treatment or a quick gloss. It’s a deep, structural fixer-upper. This is the treatment you need when your hair feels like it's been through a breakup and just needs a solid support system.

👉 Best for: Chemically lightened, heat-damaged, or structurally weak hair
🧪 Hero molecule: Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate (we call it Bond Magic)
💡 Pro tip: Ask for Olaplex No.1 + 2 in-salon for the big repair, and follow up with No.3 at home for maintenance.

🧬 Lakmé K2.0 Recover: The Protein Whisperer

Okay, so remember that ladder? While Olaplex fixes the rungs, Lakmé's K2.0 Recover goes deeper and repairs the sides — the peptide chains that give your hair its entire structure.

It uses a second-generation biomimetic peptide, Kerestore™ 2.0, to replicate the amino acid sequences found in natural hair keratin, effectively restoring damaged keratin chains. Combined with biotechnological hyaluronic acid, it provides deep hydration, strengthening hair to virgin levels and increasing resistance to breakage .

K2.0 doesn’t just make your hair feel better — it literally reverses damage at a molecular level. Results are visible from the first application, with up to a 61% reduction in superficial damage .

👉 Best for: Hair that's been chemically overworked, coloured, or bleached within an inch of its life
🧬 Hero tech: Kerestore™ 2.0 peptide and biotechnological hyaluronic acid
💡 Pro tip: Use the K2.0 Recover Hyaluronic Treatment on clean, towel-dried hair. Do not use conditioner. Distribute evenly through wet hair, do not rinse, and dry to activate. Comb through for best results.

✨ Evo Treatments: The Finishing Touch

Now your ladder is fixed and structurally sound. But what if you want it to look as good as it feels?

Cue the Evo treatments — the glossy paint job your hair never knew it needed.

While Evo doesn’t dive deep into the molecular trenches like Olaplex or K2.0, it works on the surface to bring instant shine, softness, manageability, and that “I just walked out of the salon” swish.

They’re the no-fuss, no-drama kind of treatment — perfect for adding a little luxe to your regular wash day or extending the life of your in-salon results.

👉 Best for: Dull, frizzy, uncooperative hair that needs a glow-up
💧 Hero products: Evo The Great Hydrator, Happy Campers Leave-In, and Mane Prescription
💡 Pro tip: Use The Great Hydrator Mask once a week to keep hair feeling juicy.

So… which one do you need?

Think of it like a haircare menu:

• 💪 Need serious structural rehab? Go for Olaplex.

• 🧠 Want to reverse long-term damage? Say hello to Lakmé's K2.0 Recover.

• 💅 Just want shiny, smooth, manageable vibes? Grab some Evo.

Of course, if you’re still unsure, our stylists are actual hair whisperers and can assess your locks in-salon to give you the exact blend your hair needs.
