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 use the Bond Smoother to help tame my frizz. It works best when used with damp hair after air drying a bit.

  • Amazing,changed my hair completely from blonde damaged short hair to much thicker and brighter hair

  • I think this was a bit overrated, because my hair was very dry after using it. Maybe I used the wrong products

  • I love the oil for damaged and frizzy hair

  • Honestly I wanted to love this brand but I really didn’t. Even after carefully following the right use guidelines, I found the products sat way too heavy on my hair (I have low porosity waves). I also have a lot of hair, so I found the products quite expensive for the amount of product that I would need to use for my hair. They might be great for someone with a different hair type, but unfortunately not for me.

  • I thought it was OK. At first my hair felt great - healthy and smooth. But as time went on, I felt like I was losing more hair than usual. I also think the product caused facial acne. I have heard from friends similar feedback and no longer use Olaplex products.

  • I've been using the Shampoo, Conditioner, and bond-repairing hair oil for over a year now. I don't think I'll ever go back. It's perfect for my slightly-bleached hair.

  • The Olaplex Bonding oil worked so well in my hair. I have long, curly hair and it left it soft with no frizz. I used a straightener and it helped keep my hair from being frizzy or having fly aways. The scent was pleasant and minimal.

  • I swear by the olaplex hair masks. They make my hair feel so silky smooth. I bleach & highlight my hair regularly & have very little breakage.

  • It's simply the best hair products on the market. Skip the reviews & just try it out for yourself

    If only they'd offer the professional sizes in the shampoo & conditioner to the public, would love a JUMBO!

  • Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil is pure magic in a bottle! It makes my hair incredibly soft, shiny, and frizz-free without feeling greasy or heavy. Just a few drops transform my hair completely—total holy grail product!

  • Really helped with my bleach damaged hair. My hair would be a rat’s nest right out of the shower before, but this really helped re-moisturize it and tame it down.
