Code Copied
The mechanism every Oli G formula is built around – and the reason your hair actually holds on to what you put in it.
In the order that makes sense. Some products are daily, some are weekly, and some are used only when your hair needs a reset, repair, or protection.
Alkaline pH opens the cuticle so active ingredients get in. Acidic pH closes it so they stay. Every Oli G product is built around that cycle — open, deposit, seal — so the cuticle is in the right state for each step, at the right moment.
Most brands stop at ingredients. Oli G engineers the timing.

Pure Detox Clarifying Shampoo
Opens the cuticle. Clears buildup, minerals, sunscreen, and residue the daily wash can't touch. Once a week – not every wash.
Total Refresh pH Balancing Shampoo
Your daily wash at hair's natural pH – so it cleans without disrupting the cuticle. Sulfate-free, color-safe.
Total Refresh pH Balancing Conditioner
Acidic enough to actively close what the shampoo opened. Flat cuticle scales reflect light. That's what shine actually is.
Atomic Hair Repair Leave-In
Peptides deposited on damp hair. The cuticle opens slightly so they reach the cortex and fill damage sites – applied after conditioner, before heat.
Chemical Addiction Peptide Bonding Spray
Closes the door on the peptides Atomic just deposited. If you heat-style: apply before any heat tool. If you air-dry, use it on styling days when protection matters.
Renew Porosity Balancing Oil – no pH
Renew is an anhydrous oil – no water, so there is no pH to balance. It sits outside the cuticle cycle by design and finishes the routine at 03 Nourish, sealing the lipid layer once everything else has done its work.
Every brand claims peptides. The real differentiator is whether they actually get into the fiber – and stay there. Without the pH cycle, even the strongest formula deposits on the surface and washes off at the next service.
The Oli G system sequences every wash so the cuticle is open when it needs to be and sealed when it doesn't. That's the difference between a treatment that works once and a routine that compounds over time.
This is why Oli G is a system, not a hero product.
The minimum effective sequence is Total Refresh Shampoo and Conditioner plus Atomic. Adding Chemical Addiction completes the seal. Pure Detox and AquaLush add depth over time.
You can. Atomic deposits peptides on damp hair regardless of shampoo. But a pH-matched shampoo and an acidic conditioner put the cuticle in the right state to maximize what Atomic deposits.
Renew is an oil with no water in it. pH only exists in water-based formulas, so an anhydrous oil has no pH to measure or balance. It works on the lipid layer instead of the cuticle's acid-alkaline state – which is why it sits outside the cycle rather than in it.
Yes. Cuticle behavior is the same across Type 1–4 and across virgin, colored, relaxed, and bleached hair. The dosing adjusts; the mechanism doesn't.
No. The ranges Oli G uses sit within safe cosmetic tolerance: alkaline enough to open the cuticle, acidic enough to close it – never extreme enough to damage the fiber.
Start with the basics – Total Refresh Shampoo and Conditioner plus Atomic – or shop the full cycle.
