OLAPLEX reviews and discussion

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.

  • I’ve tried almost all the Olaplex products and have loved them. When you use the entire system, you will truly see all the benefits. But you can still get lots of improvement just by using your favorite. Mine is the hair oil, I just wish it came in a bigger bottle. I realize you only need a little bit, but I have a lot of hair and go through the bottle so fast.

  • This is therapy in a bottle. It really seems to be nutritious for your hair making it healthier and luxurious looking .

  • No.6 is amazing! Makes my hair incredibly soft, and smells great!

  • I use the No. 4 bond maintenance shampoo and conditioner, purple shampoo and the hair oil every week. I love the way my hair has transitioned and strengthened my hair! Definitely recommend

  • I have really thick hair. The Olapex hair oil is amazing pre or post blowout. It might be too heavy for anyone with thinner hair. It lasts a very long time and makes my hair shiny.

  • I really liked the bond oil but I'm super freaked out about the people claiming it's made their hair fall out so I'm hesitant to try the brand again.

  • I used the purple shampoo and the conditioner. Expensive but does wonders. The purple shampoo has kept the brasiness out of my dyed hair. And the conditioner has helped minimize the damage from the color treatments I do with my hair.

  • Olaplex saved my hair after going blonde for a year and a half. It’s pricy but genuinely had a noticeable difference with one use!

    Received a free product from OLAPLEX
  • I've used the No.3 for repairing my hair. It does the job however it's not worth the price and will find something cheaper that does the job!

  • Olapex works well for my hair type but since I have very fine strands, if I use the products too frequently, I can get brittle hair. I would recommend the full olapex system for anyone with a lot to split ends , like myself, in need of serious hair tlc.

  • Whether there is actual damage or not, I love this product! Was trying to get away from apogee, and this was a great alternative for myself and my daughter..

  • I have not loved every product I’ve tried from Olappex but I do love the bonding oil as I feel like it helps the ends of my hair especially when the weather is really dry and my hair gets frizzy.

  • I have long brown hair that I’ve colored blonde and Olaplex is the TOP brand I use to ease the frizz and dryness that comes with bleaching hair. I love the oil and use it more than any other hair products. It WORKS in giving life to my hair and making it beautiful again.
