OLAPLEX earns polarized reviews: it visibly strengthens and revives bleached or damaged hair—No. 3 Hair Perfector, No. 6 Bond Smoother, No. 7 Bonding Oil, and the 4P Purple Shampoo are frequent standouts—yet many users report dryness, heaviness, or even increased shedding and brittleness if overused. The brand is praised for salon-clean scent, rich lather, and fast toning, but criticized for inconsistent results across hair types and small, hard-to-dispense bottles.

I love the No. 3 repair mask, and the No. 6 Leave-in cream, but not a fan of the shampoo & conditioner.
Feedback
I love the No. 3 repair mask, and the No. 6 Leave-in cream. Both of these when used correctly helped my hair get healthy & strong. I would recommend both of these, but as they are bond repair products, be sure to check how to use them for your hair type. I don’t believe I had negative impacts from the shampoo & conditioner as I have heard from others, but also did not see any positive results.
At the recommendation of a hair stylist I tried No. 3 to strengthen hair. Didn't notice a difference.
I love the smell and consistency. It made my hair feel very healthy - but had to wash my hair everyday - because it got very greasy - maybe the wrong formulation
Tried Olaplex No.3 when my hair was coloured. It helped keep my hair feeling soft and from breaking after multiple bleaching/dye jobs. The only thing is if you stop using it the effects are gone pretty fast.

Olaplex has always done wonders for my hair. I’ve tried many different products now and they’re all so good. It keeps my hair staying healthier and the purple shampoo/conditioner have kept my hair such a pretty blonde!
I’ve been using OLAPLEX since Christmas because it was gifted to me by one of my girlfriends. I’m not sure how I feel about the product. I’ve read a lot of reviews stating it’s the cause of their hair loss and I cannot confirm or deny the statement. I lose hair regularly but I’m unsure if it has anything to do with this product or if it’s caused more than usual.
Olaplex is a standout brand that lives up to the hype, offering a scientifically backed solution for repairing and strengthening damaged hair. Whether you have color-treated hair, heat-damaged strands, or just want to improve the overall health and texture of your hair, Olaplex provides effective and noticeable results. While it may not be the most affordable option on the market, its premium performance and ability to truly restore hair make it a favorite for many.
Hyped up for a reason, I think that Olaplex works, It helps the hair's bond strengthen and can do a lot of good. However I don't think every product is created equally. I think that Olaplex has some strong options like No5 conditioner, but it's not my choice for long term usage.

This is a high-end luxury hair care looking feels great and it goes and applies. Well I appreciate it that combination for shampoo conditioner, and bonding oil. I think it makes for a really strong hair routine but of course for the price. I don’t use that every time.
I used to swear by the number 3 but it seems like they changed the recipe recently and it doesn't work nearly as well. It's not really worth it for the price anymore so I probably won't be buying again anytime soon.

People say Olaplex is revolutionary but I saw little improvements when I tried it on my hair. I tried their hair mask and it was a nice conditioner but it did nothing different from my usual conditioner I get at Costco
I have been using this shampoo and conditioner set and it has been great on my hair so far it lasts forever and it seems high-quality and my hair always seems super soft after using it. I haven’t had any issues with dryness like some other brands can give me.
Lovely scented product, and love how it makes my hair feel. It is pricy and the shampoo and conditioner bottles are very small in size. I would like to consider some of their styling products next time I make a purchase, I only tried the travel shampoo and conditioner.
Olaplex is definitely a well-known brand in the hair care world, and I can see why. The Bond Builder treatment (No. 3) has definitely helped with my hair’s overall strength and shine, and it’s been great for reducing some of the damage from coloring. I’ve noticed my hair feels smoother after each use, and it does a solid job of improving texture. That said, I wasn’t as blown away as I expected. While it does help, it’s not a miracle worker, especially when it comes to severe damage. The price point is also pretty steep for the size of the bottles, so it feels like more of a splurge than an everyday product. Plus, I wasn’t crazy about the scent — it’s a little too neutral for me. Overall, Olaplex is a good product and works well for maintenance, but I’m not sure it’s the holy grail for everyone. It’s worth trying if your hair is moderately damaged, but don’t expect instant, dramatic results.

OLAPLEX No. 3 is a standout for repairing and maintaining damaged hair, offering salon-quality results at home. While the price is steep, its efficacy justifies the cost for many. Best for those committed to a consistent haircare routine. For extreme damage, consider supplementing with heavier moisturizers.
Effective at repairing damage from bleach, heat, and chemical treatments. • A little product goes a long way. • Noticeable results for many users after just a few uses. • Clean ingredients and cruelty-free.
This really brings out natural curls easily! My mom just found out her hair is actually naturally curly, and just putting a bit of this on her damp hair, scrunching it, and then diffusing/air drying gives her really lovely well-defined natural curls. Super easy to use, and the results lasted for a couple of days on her (basically until she washed her hair again). Definitely would recommend!

Our filtration system is not good, so we always have hard water. My hair has been brittle and unappealing in the past year, so I tried their bond repairing series. Life-changing. My hair is back to silky soft texture!
Olaplex seriously saved my hair! I have very fine hair prone to easily breaking. I could never find a product that made it stronger but was also light enough not to leave my hair looking weighed down. The combination of these products have made all the difference. My hair looks and feels healthier!
i almost only use olaplex and i honestly don't know why. it's dependable but the prices are kind of crazy for what it is. i would think about trying out cheaper brands or things that might work better, no3 is great tho
