The Tease: Tell us how it feels to be tapped by OLAPLEX as a global brand ambassador.
Bobby Eliot: OLAPLEX has been a staple in my kit for a really long time so to now be a part of a brand that believes in foundational hair health is so special to me.
Which OLAPLEX products are you using most often with your high profile clients for appearances and shoots — and what do your fellow hairstylists need to know about them?
Eliot: I have been using everything!! My favorite thing to do is try different ways to use OLAPLEX. That’s what keeps me really inspired. But if I were to choose my current favorite, it would have to be the No. 9 Nourishing Hair Serum. I’m so I love with the serum consistency of this product and the way it effortlessly melts into the hair. It’s absolutely dreamy! I would say the beauty of OLAPLEX is that it’s such a broad range that it has something for all hair types.
As we approach award season, which OLAPLEX products do you reach for to make sure your clients are really, really red carpet ready?
Eliot: The new Mask Duo is my ultimate current favorite because it has results that last up to 5 washes and gives you great hair weeks! My clients have so many events consecutively, so I need their hair to not just look good for a day I need it to look good for weeks so it’s the perfect product for them.
