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.

  • Bought this after having a kid and losing a lot of hair. I didn’t notice a difference. Perhaps I didn’t use it long enough? Good product though. I’d buy it again.

  • I love using Olaplexs products after i shower, they work so well in my hair and leave me with super soft hair. I also have used their shampoo and conditioner which I really like.

  • I can confidently say that OLAPLEX lives up to the hype. Not only does my hair look visibly healthier and more vibrant, but it also feels softer and more manageable than ever before. Even my stylist has noticed a difference in the condition of my hair since incorporating OLAPLEX into my routine. While OLAPLEX may come with a slightly higher price tag, the investment is well worth it for the transformative results they deliver.

  • SO expensive but works well to correct dryness and issues with hair.

  • Olaplex products work great for bringing back the health of my hair. I had a horrible coloring experience and my hair was left extremely dry and damaged, this product made my hair better. Yes, its a more expensive product but it's worth the investment.

  • As a beauty professional i use olaplex daily and recommend the same for my clients ! An amazing brand

  • Didn’t really notice a positive change in my hair but it also didn’t dry it out. I think there’s better products out there and not worth the price.

  • Overrated. There are so much better brands out there. I’ve used shampoo, no 3, the bond smoother, and oil, and they’re all fine but nothing amazing. Would recommend Davines and Roz instead!

  • Super good, I am in love. Go get yours 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 my hair is so soft now

  • Olaplex worked for me, but I hear they are in a civil lawsuit due to people losing their hair. So use with caution. Also, this stuff is great when used in minimal amounts. It's really easy to over use!!

  • ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Olaplex hair products have definitely improved the health and strength of my hair. I've noticed a significant difference in the texture and manageability since incorporating Olaplex into my hair care routine. The repairing treatments and bonding agents have helped to revive my damaged hair from frequent coloring and heat styling. However, I've found that consistent use is key to seeing optimal results, and the price point can be a bit steep for regular use. Despite this, I still highly recommend Olaplex for anyone looking to rejuvenate their hair and restore its vitality.

  • My Hair Used to be very frizzy and dry but ever since I bought their hair oil my hair has been shining and has no frizz with the most healthiest roots. Olapex turned my hair around and I am definetly buying their shampoos and conditoners!

  • I tried the purple shampoo and conditioner since letting my hair go gray naturally. I like that it makes my hair very soft and it brings out the gray beautifully and helps to remove any brassy coloring. It does not leave any heavy buildup on my hair either. I do wish they were not so expensive but I just keep an eye out for it on sale.

  • I have yet to find a bad olaplex product. I think I have tried them all except the purple shampoo as that is for blond hair. My stylist also uses olaplex on my hair when I go to her. My fav is probably the N4 clarifying shampoo.

  • This helped my hair after I bleached it too much! I’m bummed it may not be entirely safe to use (lawsuits) but it did work as expected.

  • Oleplex overall is an amazing brand. The oleplex purple shampoo is hands down the best purple shampoo out there when I had blonde hair, it helped incredibly with the brass and quality of my hair. Has been helping a lot after bleach gone wrong, made my hair feel so much better after getting my hair botched. Definitely recommend
