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. ## 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.

The treatment itself typically takes 0 to 15 minutes, making it a quick add-on around a colour, chemical or heat service rather than a standalone appointment. How much does it cost? Oli G Peptide Protection is priced between £0 and £20, usually added alongside another colour or styling service. Can it be used straight after bleaching or colouring? Yes, it's formulated for same-day application after bleach, colour, relaxer and most chemical services. The main exception is keratin smoothing, which needs 48 to 72 hours before any product is applied. Will it damage or change my colour result? No, it can be mixed directly into colour or lightener during processing and is designed to protect and repair hair without affecting the final shade. What results can I expect immediately? Most people notice smoother, softer hair, reduced frizz, easier detangling and added shine straight after treatment, with hair feeling stronger and more elastic. Can it fully repair very damaged or over-processed hair? Extremely broken hair can't be fully undone, but the treatment can meaningfully improve strength, flexibility and appearance. Heavily compromised hair may benefit from a series of treatments plus consistent at-home care. What aftercare is recommended? Use a sulfate-free, pH-balanced shampoo, avoid heavy conditioners if advised, and apply a small amount of leave-in peptide treatment to towel-dried hair, sealing with an oil or protective spray if needed. Is it suitable for all hair types? It's designed for dry, damaged, bleached, coloured or relaxed hair and is lightweight enough not to weigh hair down, though your stylist can confirm suitability for your specific hair.
