Reviews mention

  • Potent bond-repair technology
  • Luxurious clean fragrance
  • Highly concentrated formulas
  • Effective brass-neutralizing pigment
  • Inconsistent results across hair
  • Potentially drying formulas
  • Heavy feel on fine hair
  • Staining purple pigment

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.

  • Great a bit overrated does dry u out a little bit

    Received a free product from OLAPLEX
  • I use them on dump hair and they help to prevent frizz and my hair look so smooth and shiny

  • I must be one of the only ones out here not impressed with this product. I see it all over instagram so I gave it a few attempts to win me over, but for the cost the bottles were so small and the result that we saw was just not there. Disappointed and feel influencers were just pushing something they were getting paid for. Well I was sucked in and can not give a positive review on these products. I would look else were. Sorry.

  • Got the #3 Hair repair perfector and followed instructions carefully. I have used it for about 2 months now and I see somehow a small difference. I like the scent and the texture and you can feel the moisturizing effect when the product is on your hair and when you rinse it out but that feeling does not stay on for long. I was expecting more of an impact given the price tag and the time I have been using it. It is unlikely that I will give it another try given the price tag. I have also tried their travel kit and did not notice much of a difference in using the 3 products concurrently. Overall, decent product but it does not justify the price.

  • Didn’t work for my thick and plentiful hair. I need to much product to justify the price tag. Doesn’t even work well.

  • I got a sampler pack and tried the shampoo and conditioner. I definitely feel a difference from the other ones I used. Running my fingers through my hair feels soo nice and it's a nice smell.

  • Honestly I wish i could say I’ve seen a difference… I’ve used the bond no 3 shampoo for over a month now along with the oil and they’re great products just nothing amazing

  • I like the heat protectant, use it weekly when I plan to style my hair and not air dry.

  • Broke my hair right off and my colorist had to give me a full haircut and re-dye to account for the damage :(

  • I have used several of the products from Olaplex. No 6 is my all time favorite product. It gives great moisture to my hair.

    Works for OLAPLEX
  • The purple shampoo is not pigmented enough compared to fudge purple shampoo However a lot of purple shampoos are drying and the olaplex one is not As someone who bleached their hair olaplex is a must have in my beauty routine I love the hair cream and oil mixing it together really makes my hair feel silky smoothe all day

    None
  • For the price, I expected much higher quality. My hair is damaged due to sun exposure but the shampoo didn't help much.

  • I think if you’re not blonde blonde, there are better bond repair products out there (I’d recommend the curl smith bond repair for all hair types and colors)

  • I have really oily hair and this is the best shampoo and conditioner I have found. Other brands don’t make my hair feel as clean but Olaplex is great. The purple shampoo is also fantastic

  • I love these products..my hair felt much softer and hydrated after the first time I used their shampoo and conditioner. High quality products.

  • favorite thing for my hair. i’ve tried a lot of products and nothing compares to Olaplex.

  • Olaplex helped my hair SO much when I was letting the blonde highlights grow out and I could see the breakage from blonde and summer hair. The oil is unmatched, I still use it when I style my hair with heat and the shampoo and conditioner not only smell good but they work great to help damaged or regular hair!!

  • I used to use the wrong hair care for so long but after using this product I was amazing with gm the results. All my friends said I just looked like I walked out of the salon once a week all from this brand
