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.

I tried the hair mask and after using it for about 3 months, I didn't notice a huge long term difference. My hair is very heat/color damaged so it is very dry. I noticed improvement directly after using the product but not much in the long run.
I invested in the blonde toning shampoo after hearing that it was the way to go. It's been just ok! I don't think it's toned enough and I actually ended up switching to a different non-Olaplex bottle with way better reviews. Ultimately, I think I won't buy Olaplex again, but I think it's one of those things where if it works for you, it works well, and if it doesn't.... it doesn't! Hair and skin are so personal.
THE BEST shampoo to resist New York water and help your hair to survive!!! the experience is perfect even tho I find the price a bit too expensive for the quantity we are getting. The journey on the website is a bit complex (a lot of information) but that was OK
I can't speak for the other products but Olaplex #3 has been a fixture in my haircare routine for years. It keeps my hair long and strong.

Nothing, keep the formula the same!
My hair is the type that will shrivel up into a nest after bleach contact. Unfortunately, I didn't know that... until after bleach contact. Olaplex saved my poor hair. I watched it go from unkempt to soft and sleek after just one use. I use no.3, no.4, and no.5, but I think no.3 is the real champ if you don't want to invest in the full Olaplex repertoire.
High-performing products! Definitely felt like I elevated my hair care routine.

Hard to dispense products/squeeze remainder towards the end.

I used this bonding oil one time and it made my fine hair feel very brittle and it caused more hair fall out than with my normal shampoo. I returned the product to Nordstrom . I would not recommend. But maybe it just wasn’t for me.
i like their clarifying shampoo and whatever my hairdresser uses when i get an olaplex treatment. overall though their shampoo and conditioner are not necessarily worth the price.

This is a great brand. My daughter & I do a lot of color swapping- now she’s more highlighted & has snagged the bottle for her blonde. She’s using the purple. It works great & doesn’t make her hair look greasy like another product that we both tried. It’s worth the value but was hoping for a larger bottle last Amazon purchase.
I’ve been thoroughly impressed with Olaplex No. 4C Shampoo and Conditioner. These products have transformed my hair care routine, leaving my hair feeling incredibly clean, hydrated, and manageable. The shampoo effectively removes buildup without stripping natural oils, while the conditioner provides deep nourishment, making my hair silky smooth and easy to style. What stands out the most is the noticeable reduction in breakage and overall improvement in hair health. Olaplex No. 4C is a game-changer for anyone seeking strong, vibrant hair.
I've tried the N3, and I loved it at first, until I realized it started drying out my hair. Ended up throwing it away. Would not retry it at all. Also used the hair oil, and it made my hair greasy and heavy even when using just a smidge and only for the ends.
I've used Olaplex at various points in my life but never loved the products enough to repurchase immediately when I run out.
I love this stuff. I wish it were a bit cheaper, but I do find that every time I use it my hair feels really nice. I especially like the conditioner.
On the high end side but I think it works for me, help my hair stronger

I use Olaplex hair and N3 regularly. My hair is so shiny and smooth, there's been a noticeable difference since I started using Olaplex products
My hair is definitely smoother and appears healthier. Takes out the brassiness. It does not weigh my hair down either (my hair is fine and straight)
Olaplex has become a love-hate product but let's be clear -- this is NOT meant to be used every day. Olaplex 3, which I would recommend wholeheartedly, is something I use once a month because I have thin hair.
Not every product for every day, but best for those after DIY home hair dye sessions.
As soon as I read the amazing reviews for Olaplex, I was desperate to get my hands on some to try to get my dry, bleached hair back to its former glory. I bought the Olaplex No 0 Bond Builder and the No 3 Hair Perfector, as well as the 4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo and No5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner. I loved the shampoo and conditioner: the shampoo leaves my hair a lovely purply grey tone and the conditioner really softens my strands. The shampoo doesn't dry hair like a lot of other toning shampoos do. However, the Olaplex No 0 Bond Builder was messy to use and doesn't last long for the price. The No 3 Hair Perfector does seem to strengthen my bleached hair and makes the follicles smooth and flat, and I'm on my third bottle having bought a three pack. At the same time though, when I use any of the Olaplex products I do seem to lose more hair than with other brands and products. Because of that, I don't think I will rebuy once these products are finished.
I splurge on the reconstructor 1-2 times a year when my hair is super fried, and it helps every time. I have tried the more preventative products (shampoo, conditioner, leave-in) and they were nice, but did not provide the level of results to make it seem worth the price. I will continue with the treatments as needed.

REALLY expensive
