Reviews mention

  • Noticeable bond-repair performance
  • Shine-boosting lightweight oil
  • Salon-fresh purple toning
  • Frizz-smoothing leave-in cream
  • Potential drying shampoo effects
  • Heavy, greasy feel on fine hair
  • Short-lived treatment results
  • Strong pigment staining risk

OLAPLEX earns polarized reviews: many report visibly stronger, smoother, shinier hair—especially with No.3 Hair Perfector, No.6 Bond Smoother, No.7 Bonding Oil, and the 4P Purple Shampoo—while others experience dryness, heaviness, greasiness, or no lasting improvement. Reviews suggest it can work brilliantly for bleached/blonde or damaged hair but may weigh down fine hair and effects may fade without consistent use; some users also mention fragrance concerns and allegations of hair loss or irritation.

  • Ehhhh I don’t see the hype I’ve tried to bring my hair back to life and it really just doesn’t work makes my hair feel brittle and dry.

  • I’m obsessed with the deep hair conditioner. It says to leave in for 10-15 minutes, I do like an hour. Not sure if that’s bad. But my hair is always so smooth after I rinse and dry it . And it stays silky even a few washes after

  • It's too expensive for the results you get. If the shampoo and conditioner came in larger containers it might be worth it. Meh in my book

  • Made my hair feel stronger after a few months of use, love their detox shampoo as well!

  • Some of the items olaplex has like 0,1,36,7,&9 are amazing for hair that is damaged but the shampoo and conditioner just didn't hit the spot for me. Also #8 the mask is a good one and at like 35$ it's not bad for what it does. Love olaplex

  • Oliplex keeps my mane super SOFT. I've used the mask with my portable dryer attachment or the 3 minute condition and rinse. Either way the end result is amazing. In fact the entire product line is good.

  • Consistent. Always good to go back to when you’re uncertain, but not life changing in the way that K18 is.

  • Os produtos dessa marca realmente são maravilhosos para o cabelo, desde nutrição a hidratação, sou apaixonada pela qualidade deles.

  • Love the shampoo and conditioner. It really makes my hair feel soft and manageable. The packaging is simple and I like that there are no strong scents used.

  • Just dries out the hair; does not help at all. Don’t waste your money.

  • I love their hair products. They have a variety of haircare products. I noticed that my hair improved after using their shampoo and conditioner.

  • I've tried no. 4 and no. 5 for the last month and I've noticed that my hair is less frizzy. Having color treated hair, my hair can get really dry but this definitely helps. My hair stylist also commented on how healthy my hair has been since I've used it. It is a bit pricey but well worth it as the frizzy ends were really bothering me.

  • Decent shampoo and conditioner. However it makes my hair a little greasy.

  • Super hydrating and reparative for bleached hair. Love this product & always use after I get my hair colored.

  • I am a hairstylist, so olaolex is a product I highly stand by. It is great for overall hair health as well as protecting it during chemical services. It's great for keeping your hair structured after as well

  • Light oil, doesn’t weigh my hair down or feel heavy. Gives nice shine. Acts as heat protectant as well as daily oil. Was using Uoil before. Both great. But nice to switch up brands

  • I absolutely love all Olaplex. this is my go to product because I dye my hair too much. Small amounts go a long way.

  • Great for repairing and loving your hair. This product helps you love your hair as much as you love coloring it. No regrets here.

  • I have been using Olaplex for years and will continue to sing its praises. There is no way my hair could be this blonde and this healthy without it. I was over the moon when they came out with their purple products for blondes. Will continue to use for years to come

  • I’ve been using OLAPLEX recently, and it’s made a noticeable difference in my thick hair. It’s stronger, smoother, and more manageable with less frizz and breakage. My hair looks shinier and healthier, and the texture feels much better. It’s definitely a great product for keeping thick hair in good condition.
