How Does Olaplex Protect Hair Bonds During Burmese Bleach Process?
Olaplex rebuilds broken disulfide bonds in hair during bleaching by adding its patented Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate molecule, which reconnects sulfur bridges severed by bleach oxidizers. For Ywigs' premium Burmese double drawn bulk hair, mix Olaplex No.1 into 20-volume developer at a 1:1.5 ratio, apply to sections for 30-45 minutes, rinse, then use No.2—ensuring even lift, no breakage, and preserved curls for protective styles like boho braids.

What Are Disulfide Bonds and Why Do They Break During Bleaching?
Disulfide bonds are strong covalent S-S links in keratin proteins that provide hair's strength and elasticity. Bleaching with hydrogen peroxide and ammonia breaks 50-70% of these bonds, causing fragility, swelling, and snapping. Ywigs' double drawn Burmese bulk hair offers uniform thickness root-to-tip for even bleach penetration, minimizing uneven damage compared to single-drawn hair.
How Does Olaplex Differ from Other Bond Builders?
Olaplex stands out with its patented single-ingredient formula, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, targeting disulfide bonds specifically inside the hair shaft during bleach lift—unlike generic proteins or fillers in competitors. It retains 68% more protein post-bleach and works reusably in braids.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Olaplex No.1/No.2 | Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate | Disulfide reconnection | Yes—maintains Ywigs curls post-bleach | $30–$60 |
| K18 | Peptide chain | Polypeptide repair | Moderate—less heat/bleach focus | $70+ |
| Fiberplex | Maleic acid | Filler bonds | No—temporary, tangles in wet styles | $20–$40 |
