OLAPLEX Reviews

4.1

OLAPLEX delivers noticeable repair and shine for many—especially bleached and color‑treated hair—with standouts like No. 3 Hair Perfector, No. 6 Bond Smoother, No. 7 Bonding Oil, and the 4P Purple Shampoo frequently praised in reviews. However, reviews also flag drawbacks: some experience dryness, heaviness or greasiness, residue, overly strong toning or staining from purple products, mixed or short‑lived results, and concerns about overuse or sensitivity, making OLAPLEX effective but not universally foolproof.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I have tried so many hair oils over the past 10 years. I have tons of favorites tons of hits and tons of misses and I would say that this hair oil falls in between a lot of categories. If you have oily fine hair similar to myself this oil is just super light. It’s lightweight goes on and dries very quickly so that’s nice but I don’t notice the bonding properties that are supposed to happen with it. It’s supposed to reduce frizz and flyaways, and Is a heat protector up to 450°. You would have to use a ton of this oil for it to be a real heat protector so I don’t count it for that and I don’t notice a ton of reduced frizz.
