Cheeky Anti-Dupe Haircare

Olaplex Dupes the Dupers on Tiktok with Oladupé

— October 2, 2023 — Fashion
OLAPLEX, a leader in the hair care industry, has ingeniously responded to the dupe culture with the launch of OLADUPÉ. Recognized for its pioneering bond-building technology and holding over 160 patents, OLAPLEX has been a frequent subject of "dupe" content on TikTok, garnering 30.4M views under the hashtag #OLAPLEXDUPE.

However, the brand's unique composition makes it irreplaceable. With the OLADUPÉ campaign, OLAPLEX humorously highlights that the only entity capable of creating an OLAPLEX dupe is OLAPLEX itself. The campaign involved an unboxing of the fictitious OLADUPÉ product by over 100 influencers. The product, labeled as OLADUPÉ "No. 160", was later revealed to be the renowned OLAPLEX No. 3 Hair Perfector.

"We're thrilled to partner with OLAPLEX on this industry-first campaign that authentically puts OLAPLEX directly into the middle of the social media conversation around their undupable product," said Geoffrey Goldberg, CCO and Co-Founder of Movers+Shakers. "OLADUPÉ was created to prove that there's no real 'dupe' for the real thing.”OLAPLEX No. 3 is available for $30.00 USD at various outlets.
