New Aldi beauty range includes cheap $20 Olaplex ‘dupe’

The German supermarket is bringing back its budget version of a popular $150 beauty product which caused a stir when it hit shelves last year.

If you’ve ever damaged your hair, you’ll know how long it can take to get it back to its former glory.

Haircare products can be expensive and visiting a salon for a regular treatments even more costly.

But a popular Aldi hair repair kit for suffering tresses which costs $20 is about to return to shelves as part of the store’s Special Buys – and it has been hailed as “dupe” of a bougie haircare brand Olaplex.

While the high-end brand’s three-step system is a widely renowned product containing a “bonding” molecule which repairs damaged hair and is backed by science – it comes with a $149 price tag.

However Aldi’s Kairplex 3-in-1 hair kit, described as having “salon technology that seals the hair bond to help restore damaged hair,” retails for $19.99.

When the limited-edition beauty product when on sale in 2020, it was labelled “just as good” as Olaplex by one reviewer.
