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.

  • Liquid gold in a bottle, this stuff is no joke! I’ve been using Olaplex Oil for a little over two years and kid you not, haven’t seen a split end since!

  • After hearing so many rave reviews about Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil, I finally decided to give it a try, and I can confidently say it has completely rejuvenated my hair! My hair had been feeling dry, dull, and lifeless due to constant heat styling and coloring. From the very first application, the Olaplex Bonding Oil worked wonders. Its lightweight formula absorbed instantly without leaving my hair greasy or weighed down—a huge win for me.

  • I like olaplex - I definitely notice a difference when I use no.3, I just wish it was less expensive and came in a bigger bottle! Best smell ever too.

  • The blonde toner shampoo made my hair purple ! For a high price and Normally quality I am sad . It cost me 40$ and I leave it the time it was said

  • Kinda overhyped. A little too expensive for the results I didnt really notice. This product did get me to stop washing my hair everyday, so I'll give it that.

  • I love this shampoo and conditioner it helps my hair stay so smooth and healthy

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE this is a miracle brand and product. The only thing I would change is the scent. But this stuff? Omg the bestedt ever especially for overly damaged or treated hair

  • it’s OK I wasn’t really that impressed. I didn’t think it was really much different than other products that are a lot cheaper I probably wouldn’t purchase again

  • I started using olaplex with the n03 product and then added in the no.O to increase products penetration. This definitely upped my hair game. The only thing is it’s not aloof of product for the prize. The one product I do really like is the bonding oil , it’s one of the oils I feel like my he Air isn’t left greasy/oily it’s a very sheer nourishing penetration. Definitely will be repurchasing the oil !

  • OLAPLEX produces the best hair care producs In fact I was very amazed. The shampoo scent filled up my bathroom which was very superb and fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

  • Love the olaplex brand, the outcome is never disappointed.

  • The OLAPLEX hair oil is as good as any hair oil BUT I love the packaging. The fact that it's in a small bottle makes it easy to carry around when traveling which puts it at the top of my list for hair oils.

  • I’m not quite sure if this makes my hair very dry, but without it, I wouldn’t have the beautiful color that I have right now. I have black hair and what I go through to get it blonde takes six hours. The shampoo totally tones it down.

  • Seriously helped my hair grow so much and I was able to keep my color lasting so much longer than it usually does! This was a great product!

  • I received a hair kit and I wanna say it’s good and it leaves my hair smelling good but I truly didn’t see a difference in my hair. Just the fact that it smells good

  • completely fixed my hair. my hair stylist put me on, and i use oleplex all the time. amazing product. i’m a bleach blonde and the blonding shampoo and conditioner really tones my hair, just how i like it!

  • I received an Olaplex gift set from a family member as I mentioned I was interested in trying it to repair my hair. I have very long and thick natural blonde hair that has slight wave in it and I found that when I began colouring my hair, I had more breakage. I tried the Olaplex kit for around a month and I discovered it wasn’t the best option for my hair. Overtime, it caused dryness and didn’t improve any of the damage. A specific product I enjoyed was the hair oil, but I found that the heat protectant left a film on my hair and caused it to look oily and feel crusty. My mom uses part of the line that is tailored to blonde hair and she enjoys it, but finds it also has a very drying effect. I definitely would give it a try and see if it would be better suited for your specific needs and hair type as I did enjoy some of the products! It is definitely a good brand and a good option as long as it’s tailored to your needs!

  • best shampoo and conditioner set for dried and damaged bleached hair helped me so much in my hair journey i loved how it made my hair feel and look!

  • O lapped No 5 has changed my hair. I’m not sure if it was heat damaged or just needed a little TLC, but it feels so good after I use it once or twice a week. My only complaint is it’s a little expensive for a not a ton of product but might go further if you have thinner hair.
