OLAPLEX Reviews

4.1

OLAPLEX earns mixed-to-positive reviews: many users say it strengthens and revives bleached, color‑treated, and frizzy hair—especially with No. 3, No. 6, No. 7, and the 4P Purple Shampoo—delivering softer, shinier, less breakage‑prone strands. However, reviews also flag drawbacks: some find the shampoo/conditioner heavy or drying, effects short‑lived without continual use, formulas too scented, and a subset reporting stiffness, brittleness, or increased shedding; purple products can stain nails or over‑tone. Consider OLAPLEX if hair is damaged or blonde; sensitive, fine, or protein‑overloaded hair may need caution.

  • It’s a different way to care for my damaged, platinum blonde hair. It’s considered a pre-wash treatment. I like that I can quickly use in the shower and it only requires 3 minutes. It’s different because you wet your hair first, then apply Olaplex N3 Plus and leave it on for 3 minutes, then rinse and shampoo and condition as normal. It’s designed to keep working and helping your hair for up to 3 washes and because I don’t wash my hair but every couple days, it’s a treatment I only need to use about 2 to 3 times a month. It’s an upgraded version of Olaplex N3 because it’s also going to help your hair in the future, not just past and present damage. I noticed after using even 1 time that my hair was softer, smoother with less frizz. It also helped my wavy hair look healthier and more uniform instead of a scraggly, frizzy mess. If you have shorter hair to your shoulders or shorter, the 100ml bottle will last you several treatments. I have shoulder length hair and have been able to use 3 treatments and about 1/4 of the 100ml bottle is used. If you have longer or thicker hair I would recommend buying the larger size.

  • love this oil, which opened me up to the brand overall. high-quality and seem to really make a difference in my hair health. you only need a few shakes of the oil to apply to lengths of damp hair, so it lasts a while.

  • I think everyone can agree that Olaplex smells amazing. This shampoo actually gives more than you'd think and even a small dollop can produce so much shampoo and conditioning in the shower. I definitely feel a difference when using the shampoo for my dry hair.

  • This just didn’t work for me. I had to use a lot of product each time just to fully coat my hair (long, thin hair) which made it feel wasteful fast. While my hair felt super soft and smooth right after rinsing in the shower, that softness completely disappeared once I followed with shampoo and conditioner per the instructions on the bottle. After drying, my hair honestly looked the same or sometimes even worse than before using it. I also noticed there are a lot of added fragrance ingredients, which felt unnecessary for a repair treatment and made me question the other ingredients and their necessity as well. Overall, it temporarily smoothed my hair, but there were no lasting results.
