OLAPLEX Nº.0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment
If your hair feels weakened from coloring, bleaching, heat styling or other chemical treatments, OLAPLEX Nº.0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment is designed to prepare the hair for a deeper repair routine. It is a concentrated pre treatment that works as the first step before OLAPLEX Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment, helping strengthen damaged hair and reduce breakage as part of the recommended system. It is available in 40ml and 155ml sizes.
Rather than being a regular conditioner or moisture mask, Nº.0 is specifically a pre shampoo strengthening treatment. That distinction matters if you are looking for something to improve the feel of dry hair alone. Its main focus is hair strength and repair rather than hydration.

Detailed Product Overview
The formula contains OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology, with Bis Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate as a key ingredient. OLAPLEX describes the technology as working at a molecular level to help rebuild disulfide bonds that contribute to the structure of the hair. The formula itself is relatively simple, containing water, Bis Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, Sodium Benzoate and Phenoxyethanol according to the current brand listed ingredient information.
One useful point for customers with protein sensitive hair routines is that Nº.0 is protein free. It is also designed to be used on chemically treated hair and can be incorporated around coloring services according to OLAPLEX’s usage guidance.
It is not intended to replace a conditioner or hydrating hair mask. If your main concern is softness, moisture or making very dry hair feel more comfortable, you may want to pair your repair routine with a suitable conditioner or mask.
Texture and Real Life Experience
Nº.0 has a lightweight treatment texture intended to be distributed through the hair rather than heavily saturating it. OLAPLEX recommends applying it to dry hair from roots to ends, working in sections for even coverage. You do not need to soak the hair with product.
For hair exposed to frequent coloring, bleaching, straightening, heat styling or other chemical processing, this type of pre treatment can make sense as a dedicated strengthening step. In Bangladesh’s humid climate, it can also fit into a routine for damaged hair without being treated like a heavy styling product.
Who Is It For?
Nº.0 can be a good choice if your hair is:
- Bleached, colored or chemically treated
- Prone to breakage
- Weakened by frequent heat styling
- Damaged and lacking strength
- Straight, wavy, curly or coily
It can also be used on uncolored hair because OLAPLEX states that the treatment is intended to provide strengthening and reparative benefits across hair types and textures.
If your primary concern is scalp oiliness, dandruff or simple dryness without signs of hair damage, this may not be the most relevant product to prioritize.
Why Customers Choose Nº.0
The main reason to choose Nº.0 is its role in the OLAPLEX repair routine. It is not simply another leave in treatment. It is designed to prime the hair before Nº.3PLUS, creating a more intensive two step repair process. OLAPLEX recommends using Nº.0 with Nº.3PLUS rather than relying on Nº.0 by itself.
For a complete routine, it can be followed by OLAPLEX Nº.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and OLAPLEX Nº.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner. A few drops of OLAPLEX Nº.7 Bonding Oil can then be used as part of your styling routine.
How To Use
-
Apply Nº.0 to dry hair, working from roots to ends in sections.
- Distribute evenly without completely saturating the hair.
-
Leave on for 10 minutes.
- Do not rinse Nº.0 at this stage.
-
Apply Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment directly over Nº.0 and comb through.
-
Leave the treatment on for another 10 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Shampoo and condition with your usual suitable products.
Expert tip: Do not leave Nº.0 on for longer than the recommended 10 minutes expecting additional repair. OLAPLEX specifically states that extending the application time is not necessary.
