OLAPLEX reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Potent bond-repair technology
  • Luxurious clean fragrance
  • Highly concentrated formulas
  • Effective brass-neutralizing pigment
  • Inconsistent results across hair
  • Potentially drying formulas
  • Heavy feel on fine hair
  • Staining purple pigment

OLAPLEX earns polarized reviews: it visibly strengthens and revives bleached or damaged hair—No. 3 Hair Perfector, No. 6 Bond Smoother, No. 7 Bonding Oil, and the 4P Purple Shampoo are frequent standouts—yet many users report dryness, heaviness, or even increased shedding and brittleness if overused. The brand is praised for salon-clean scent, rich lather, and fast toning, but criticized for inconsistent results across hair types and small, hard-to-dispense bottles.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • I’ve tried the hair oil and it works It also smells amazing.

  • Loved olaplex but I have fine hair and it started to wear my hair down, I have switched for this reason!

  • Great line of products. I think my favorite product is no 7 the bonding oil. It protects without making your hair too oily

  • I’ve tried their shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in mask and I believe their formula has changed since their beginnings. Initially I saw a difference in my hair’s shine and health, but for the past year their products have not produced compelling results—especially for the higher price point. I also find that the product goes bad if it’s not used rather swiftly—and I’ve had to toss a bottle because of a recalled ingredient. As a brunette I have other options to test out to really see a difference in shine and health, but have heard great things for blondes with this brand.
