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 love using this to keep my hair bright and fresh looking. These products smell so amazing and are super high quality. Love the flip top cap.

You know what, might just not be the right formula for me. I love the smell of olaplex but for the price, I just feel like it left a residue. Would recommend for blonde maintenance but not for other types of curly/wavy/porous hair.
Really helped nurse my hair back to health and effects are long-lasting.
When I bleached my hair from a level 3 to a level 8/9, the hair oil and the N3 hair mask really helped my fried hair to be relatively manageable and smooth. One complaint I have is that the packaging could be more informative about the effects of frequently using the product. My hair went back to being dry and brittle from repeated use of the two products, which I learned was because there was now too much hair protein bonded to my hair. This could've been prevented if the directions included a note that using the product too often can cause protein overload and that you would need a clarifying shampoo to strip off the extra protein bonds.

Olaplex is the fairy godparent of hair care – I used it, and suddenly my locks were like, "Is it just me, or are we red carpet ready?" It's so magical; I half-expected my reflection to wink at me in the mirror. I've never felt more like a hair model and less like a Muppet. Olaplex is like a spa day for your strands; my hair is basically on vacation while I'm just going to the grocery store. If Rapunzel had Olaplex, she would've left that tower a lot sooner. Move over, ordinary conditioners; Olaplex is the superhero of split ends, and my hair is the damsel in distress it rescued. Cheers to good hair days that last longer than my last Netflix binge!
I have been using the Olaplex bonding oil for many years now after I wash my hair and I have seen such a great difference in my hair quality and texture.
Strictly just speaking on the shampoo from the perspective of a male with short, straight hair: I liked the smoothness and strength that I felt in my hair after use. A little bit of it goes a long way for me and the lather is really nice as well. It's a bit on the pricier side than what I'm typically used to, but I don't have to use much and you can generally find them on sale for 30-50% off if you're patient.
I think Olaplex is overall really good but it’s only for a limited time use which I didn’t understand when I was actively using the products. Their line of products heavily target damaged hair and repair the hair rather quickly because before I was done with the little bottle, my hair no longer needed Olaplex. I think their products are great for damaged hair but if you have healthy hair these products will likely weigh down your hair.
When I dyed my hair blonde from dark brown a few years ago this saved me! My hair was so soft
Great products and mission but no instant gratification in terms of hair softness. In the way K18 and other products work, there’s usually some sort of tangible difference right away. I know this stuff works and my hair has grown so much, but it definitely feels a bit dry after use.

OMG. This product is always in my house. I use the shampoo and I love it.

Honestly I don’t understand the hype. I tried Olaplex couple of times and it just made my hair more brittle and caused a lot of breakage.
Amazing all around. Their purple shampoo is one of the best on the market!

I currently have very dry, curly hair. I purchased the Olapex N. 3 Hair Perfector and the N.6 Bond Smoother. What a difference both products have made for my hair. Good price point and love the small bottles. Great for traveling.
I used the regular shampoo/conditioner and enjoyed the scent, but it left my hair very oily. It could be because I didn’t double wash the shampoo at the time, but for the cost did not want to repurchase
Small but mighty, I typically use the no.3 treatments and I love how olaplex delivers every time. I see one I grab one. I have highlights and semi wavy/frizzy hair and everytime I include olaplex into my hair routine I am impressed at how silk smooth and healthy it looks. It last suprisingly a long time considering you don't need much and I have LONG hair! I use it once a week and the small bottle lasts about 8 washes!
The standout product for me has been the OLAPLEX leave-in conditioner. It's rare to find a conditioner that doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy or heavy, but OLAPLEX has managed to create a formula that feels light and nourishing. After using it, my hair is not only easier to manage but also feels significantly healthier. Detangling, which used to be a chore, has become so much easier since I started using this conditioner. My hair brushes through smoothly, saving me time and sparing me from the usual frustration. Another aspect I absolutely love about OLAPLEX's leave-in conditioner is the fragrance. It leaves my hair smelling amazing, which is a delightful bonus on top of all its other benefits.
I absolutely love Olaplex! It is the only purple shampoo that actually helps to maintain my blonde and prevent the golden tones. It does not dry out hair like many other products that I've tried. I have tried the bond maintenance shampoo and conditioner, the hair perfector, and the blonde enhancer toning shampoo and conditioner. Makes me hair so smooth without stripping the color! The hair perfector is worth every penny if you struggle with frizzy or brassy hair. My hair dresser uses the same products on my hair when I get my hair done every 10 weeks and she said she noticed a big difference when I started using the hair perfector on top of my regular shampoo and conditioner.
I had very high hopes for it but my hair wasn’t happy.
I used the bond moisture mask and it feels like a luxury. My only complaint would be that instructions recommend you wait 5-10 minutes to rinse out. I struggle with hanging out in the shower for that long—I run out of things to do in there. But there’s no denying that it is effective treatment for dry over worked hair.
