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.

  • LOVE this stuff. Olaplex has made a significant and noticeable difference in the health of my hair. My hair was dry and brittle from using a lot of heat blow drying and flat ironing. Brought back the shine and natural silky texture.

  • At first, I loved how my hair felt after using Olaplex, but after a while, it started to feel heavy and sticky, like it didn't have enough oil. I still do the treatment, but I prefer to wash my hair again afterward.

  • Olaplex does absolute wonders for my hair. It’s worth using the system 100%. I find the cost is also very worth it.

  • I love there Shampoo and Condition, I actually just love all there products. I can actually tell a difference in my hair quality. I bleach my hair and then I cut it all off a few months ago and before I didn't think my hair would grow but now after using all there products I truly think it is what is helping me. I LOVE the SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER !!!

    I purchased it !!
  • I love my olaplex shampoo and conditioner, i have very fine hair and it doesn’t leave it greasy. It leaves my hair smooth and shiny for at least 2 days. It smells amazing too, and i love how a little of the shampoo goes a long way. You really dont have to use much to lather it up. I only wish this product was a little more affordable.

  • The product itself is amazing and has done wonders for my bleached hair. The size of the bottles drive me nuts and you can never fully get al the product out… I don’t think it’s worth the price when I’m not able to easily access the remainder of product left over every time. I usually use scissors to cut the container to get the remaining ounces

  • Favorite products for my hair. These are a game C-H-A-N-G-E-R (!!!) my hair were blonde but sooo healthy.

  • So I'm a bit mixed about this brand. Some products are wonderful and some are just meh, or don't really work well. I've been using this brand since it was first available in salons only, the OP treatments at salons are amazing, the at home stuff can just be so so. I do really like their purple shampoo and the #3 but I'm not as impressed with the other at home products. There are a few lawsuits going on against them to🤷🏼‍♀️, some for hair loss and damaged scalps but I have not had any issues like this personally. I still think it's worth a try for some of the products and maybe even just get a starter sample pack to try first💁🏼‍♀️ (they also have a blond care trial pack that I buy to travel with, it's literally perfect for travel). I hope this helps!!!! IG: fashionaddict11_11

  • I’ve used Olaplex’s purple shampoo and conditioner and it has been the only purple shampoo I’ve tried that’s worked! After one use, my hair looks freshened up and toned! Bye bye to the brassiness!

  • Love love love the oil. I’ve used many different brands and this one is top tier. Works so well for my blonde hair.

  • I use this everytime I was my hair, and use it twice while in the shower! I think it has helped my hair grow so much and it smells good! I do wish that they would put something in the products to make your hair a little softer, as I always find myself adding extra conditioner

  • I love the shampoo!! Makes my hair feel so smooth

  • I love olaplex it has repaired my hair after it was damaged from a bad bleach job.

  • After a horrible hair transformation, my hair had become very dry and brittle. I've heard many great things about Olaplex and decided to try it out. It truly did wonders to my hair. It made it look very shiny and so much healthier.

    Bought it
  • Makes your hair brital and fall out

    No discounts ever
  • Really love the Bond Maintenance Conditioner. It makes my hair feel so hydrated and it has an amazing smell. The best conditioner I've used.

  • This brand did not work for me at all. I kept using hoping maybe my hair needed to purge? But alas, it just made my dry hair drier and my scalp itchy and tender. For reference, I’m in my fifties and my hair is grey but overall, I enjoy good health and my hair is normal to dry.
