Reviews mention

  • Transformative bond-repair technology
  • Highly concentrated, efficient formulas
  • Salon-fresh, clean fragrance
  • Standout purple toning performance
  • Occasional drying shampoo texture
  • Heavy residue on fine hair
  • Purple pigment staining risk
  • Inconsistent long-term results

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.

  • Olaplex No. 3 is lifechanging. I honestly didn't even really understand what the product was intended to do until I tried it. Your hair will be a fully different texture, so soft and luscious.

    Price point could be lower, also more ingredient transparency plz

  • Olaplex is UNREAL! I color my hair regularly and have for years, which takes its toll for sure. I started using Olaplex about 4 months ago and have been blown away by the way my hair has improved since then. I use the full bonding system and it leaves my hair silky-smooth and frizz-free, not to mention more manageable overall. I've even seen an improvement in growth. LOVE it.

  • These have made a world of difference making my hair nice and soft again

Whether I'm wearing my hair natural or styling up a storm, this little bottle of magic has got me covered. It's like liquid gold for your strands—have you tried it yet?

  • OLAPLEX is a game-changer for anyone looking to restore and protect their hair! Their bond-building products truly work wonders, transforming my damaged hair into something soft, shiny, and healthy. I’ve been using the No. 3 Hair Perfector and the No. 4 Shampoo, and the difference has been incredible—my hair feels stronger, looks more vibrant, and is so much more manageable. The formula is gentle but super effective, and I love that it works on all hair types, not just for those with specific textures or concerns. If you’ve been struggling with damaged or compromised hair, OLAPLEX is the solution you’ve been searching for—it truly lives up to the hype!

  • Olaplex is a total game-changer for damaged hair! After using the No.3 Hair Perfector and No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, my hair has never felt softer, smoother, or healthier. It works wonders on dry, brittle strands, leaving them strong and shiny. What I love most is how Olaplex actually repairs damage instead of just masking it. Whether you’ve over-processed your hair or just need some TLC, this brand delivers real results. Bonus: a little product goes a long way, so it’s totally worth the investment. If you want salon-quality hair at home, Olaplex is your new best friend. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to transform their hair!

  • The oil smells SO good and its the only oil that really keeps me hair shiny throughout the day. I have been through at least 6 little bottles already. Worth the money.

  • Love the bond strengthener - incorporated into my regimen about 5 years ago and have never turned back! can feel a tangible difference in the quality of my hair after use.

  • I tried the main bond restoring treatment that you use in conjunction with a spray. I didn’t work for me. Not only it did not strengthen the hair, it was also limp and flat after every use. I also thought the splay smells like wet dog. I switched to a different brand and my hair looks and feels great.

  • I LOVE OLAPLEX and swear by its bond maintenance shampoo and conditioner. I have very fine hair which has began to thin as I reach my mid-twenties -- I can see a significant difference in not only hair growth, but in preventing breakage. No more split ends for this girl! This stuff smells good, feels good and DOES good.

  • I’m a hairdresser and I love all of these products for myself and my guests.

    Works for OLAPLEX
  • I have thin hair and have been using the Oloplex Bond # 3 once a week before washing my hair. I really feel like it makes it thicker and healthier with more volume and better texture. I look forward to trying more of their products Ike their hair serum.

  • I have been using this product for 6 months; definitely see a difference,

  • I have tried 3, 4 & 6. It does work, but I have found other products to work better with my medium wavy hair.

  • I love how creamy the texture is and it does seem to make my hair a bit softer but not noticing long-term benefits for the price point.

  • I love this brand buy it from Sephora. Helps my hair healthy. I use it once a week to strengthen my hair.

  • Have tried a range of products, and the No. 4, No. 5, No. 7 are standards in my routine for its fresh scent and keeping my hair soft and healthy. Only con is how pricey it is but I can usually make the products last a while.
