Oli G Peptide Protection is a quick, science-led treatment that works alongside colour, bleach or heat services to repair damage at a molecular level. It's a good fit for anyone at Timba in Cardiff who colours or lightens their hair regularly, or who relies on hot tools and wants to keep hair in the best possible condition.
More information
What the treatment involves
The Oli G system uses patented oligopeptides, a multi-amino-acid complex and botanical proteins, applied using a pH-cycling method that opens the hair cuticle to deposit repairing ingredients, then closes it to seal them in.
A typical appointment includes:
- Cleansing with a pH-balanced or clarifying shampoo
- Towel-drying the hair
- Applying a small amount of leave-in peptide treatment (usually just 1 to 2 pumps)
- Combing through so it's evenly distributed
- Leaving the product in while hair is cut or styled, no rinse-out needed
It can also be mixed directly into colour or lightener during processing, protecting hair without affecting the final shade.
Who it suits and what to expect
This is designed as a fast add-on, not a lengthy standalone mask, so it fits easily into an existing colour or styling appointment. It's suitable for:
- Bleached, coloured or relaxed hair
- Dry or damaged hair
- Heat-styled hair that's lost softness or shine
- Anyone wanting a lightweight boost with no rinse and minimal chair time
Immediate results reported include smoother texture, less frizz, easier detangling, added shine and a stronger, more elastic feel. Hair that's severely over-processed may need a few treatments over time, alongside consistent at-home care, rather than one visit resolving everything.
Aftercare and timing
Because it's applied same-day after most bleach, colour, relaxer and chemical services, it works well as a built-in protection step. The main exception is keratin smoothing, which usually needs 48 to 72 hours before any product application, including this one.
At home, simple aftercare helps maintain results:
- Use a sulfate-free, pH-balanced shampoo
- Skip heavy conditioners if advised by your stylist
- Apply a small amount of leave-in peptide treatment to towel-dried hair
- Seal ends with a porosity-balancing oil or UV/colour-protection spray if needed
Our stylists, including colour specialist Ceri O'Brien and the senior stylist team, can advise on the right combination of products depending on whether your hair is bleached, coloured, relaxed or heat-damaged.
