What is the "sauce" that helped to soften this texture? We found this amazing transformation by Vanessa O. from Tampa, Florida on her Instagram feed: @vanessa.at.legacieshairstudio. On the post she says "One Word: Olaplex!" Vanessa used Olaplex #1 as a stand alone treatment. Here she shares the HOW TO, including her finishing products:

Step 1: Shampoo the hair with a clarifying shampoo (Vanessa used Kenra). Follow with Platinum Blow-Dry shampoo and conditioner. Rinse well.

Step 2: Saturate the hair with one ounce Olaplex #1 diluted with 6 ounces water. Process for 7.5 minutes and then rinse well.

Step 3: Apply Olaplex and process for 10 minutes. Rinse.

Step 4: Blow dry using Kenra Silkening Gloss mixed with Blow-dry serum.

Step 5: Flatiron using Dry Texture Spray and Gloss Serum Polish.
