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.

  • My hair now shines like it’s straight out of a shampoo commercial. Seriously, I’ve had friends ask what salon treatment I’ve been getting. Olaplex is my secret weapon.

    Beginning
  • I love oaplex products I have been using that shampoo and conditioner for years. I also use the oil. It’s changed my hair for the better

  • Game changer for damaged hair. I first experienced olaplex at a salon. It vastly improved the texture & appearance of my over-bleached hair. Smells good.

  • Love the leave in conditioner, it softens and detangles, but it makes my hair oilier faster.

  • I tried not to use olaplex or take brakes from it but when I use olaplex products my hair feels and looks so much better.

  • I have tried the shampoo and the leave on oil. While the shampoo and conditioner were not a great fit for my needs, I absolutely adore the leave on oil treatment! It smoothes my hair and keeps it shiny and healthy looking.

  • Really love the purple shampoo and clarifying shampoo. My hairstylist uses and recommended both of them for my dyed blonde hair so I feel very comfortable using the product. Love!

  • The products I tried were nice, but didn’t live up to the hype for me. Better than store brands, but not as good at conditioning and detangling as what I had been using.

  • This product has taken my hair from dry damaged and ugly to smooth healthy and cute!

  • I've been getting my hair bleached for over a decade and olaplex has saved my hair and allowed me to keep bleaching to that blonde that I love!

  • This is great product not gonna lie! The only turn off Is how expensive it is , but many people I know say that it is worth the buy.

  • Really love their purple shampoo!! Removed the brassy copper tones in my highlights in one wash! Definitely need to leave the shampoo in ur hair for 10-15 minutes for it to work its magic

  • I’m a hairdresser and I’ve been using this product for years. It’s fabulous and they now have a huge wet line which is great and it’s good for all hair types..

  • Love everything I’ve tried from Olaplex!! My hair has never been so healthy & beautiful!!

  • Lived up to its hype! My hair feels healthy and happy since using.

  • I’ve been using this brand for over a year. Really does help overall health of I hair but you need to be consistent

  • Amazing haircare line, I have used products 3, 4, and 5 as well as the oil and I love them so much! I've rebought so many times.

  • I am obsessed with keeping my hair straight and smooth. I have naturally curly (not cute) frizzy hair. Olaplex has helped me to achieve no frizz and smooth air. I use Olaplex No 6. After I shampoo and wash my hair, I apply this to my hair and comb it through. A little goes a long way. I have hair to my shoulder blades and use about quarter size amount. I blow dry my hair in small sections with a paddle brush that has nylon pins. My hair is soft smooth and silky! Everybody's hair is not the same. Try it for yourself

  • Love all of there products. Really helps with damaged hair

  • I've been using Olaplex's #4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner for 1.5 years and have seen significant improvements in my hair's health, including reduced breakage and increased smoothness. The products have made my hair much more manageable. While the products are expensive and may not work for everyone, they outperform other brands I've tried. Olaplex is a great option for anyone with damaged or chemically treated hair.
