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 love Olaplex! I've been using their No. 7 hair oil for years now and I won't ever buy another hair oil. The packaging is small and great to take with you wherever you go. And don't let the size fool you, one container lasts me exactly one year! I always ask for it as a birthday present!

  • I’ve tried every product this brand makes and truly nothing compares to their professional system that hair salons offer. The shampoo and conditioner are very lackluster products and the oil and styling crème are average at best. Have not see any noticeable results. BUT the no. 3 and 0 can help hydrate and help manage dry damaged hair / are the only products I really recommend

  • I use #3 twice a month. I love how soft it leave my hair! Highly recommend

  • Olaplex is a wonderful product! I used to work at a hair product supply company and it was very popular. Almost every stylist uses it! It makes your hair feel amazing!

  • I used this product to draw out brass in my hair after my niece who is in hair school turned my hair orange. It worked wonders!

  • I got the Olaplex conditioner and it was amazing! It only took a small amount of product and it left my hair feeling silky and healthy. The only negative I would say is the design in the bottle makes it difficult to get the product out once you get to the end.

  • I’ve used the hair oil and mask religiously for the past year and my hair has had a huge improvement on look and feel. The mask also smells amazing!!

  • I have silver hair and there are very few products that work and don't stain my hair. Love this product. Hair feels so healthy after use.

  • I loved this product it really help restore my hair

  • I burned my hair coloring it last year and the bond builder was my saving grace. i'm obsessed with the formula!

  • I’ve been using Olaplex for a few years now and it has always left my hair feeling nourished and healthy. Especially after years of dying it blonde!

  • I've had such an incredible experience with using Olaplex No3 on my very curly, dry and thin 3C hair overnight. It helps spring my curls back to life like no other product and strengthens my hair so much! Useful every other wash day

  • I went and got my hair colored from blonde to what was supposed to be copper red with blonde highlights. Long story short the salon left the color and bleach on my hair too long and completely fried my hair. My mother actually recommended olaplex and so I went out and bought all the olaplex I could find in hopes it would straighten out the mess that was now my hair.. A month later my hair was back to its healthy, shiny state.

  • Expensive. Small quantity in the bottle. Effects didn’t last very long.

  • This product has become an essential part of my daily routine. Its quality is exceptional, delivering consistent performance day after day. Its intuitive design makes it effortless to use, and I appreciate its versatility in adapting to my needs. From productivity to entertainment, this product seamlessly integrates into every aspect of my life. The build quality is evident, ensuring durability and longevity. Plus, its sleek appearance adds a touch of sophistication to my ensemble. Overall, I can confidently say that this product has exceeded my expectations and has become a valuable asset in my daily life. It is amazing!

  • No. 3 is an absolute must for me as I chemically process my hair throughout the year!

  • I use the no 3 complete set. I know these chemicals are not good but I have curly/wavy hair and live in the extreme humidity of SoFla. This is the only stuff that keeps my hair nice when I blow dry it which is almost every day. It holds up to the heat from the dryer and the humidity and heat outside.

  • Olaplex is one of my favourite hair products. My hair is usually dry and when i use Olaplex i feel that hair are hydrated and smoothed. My best purchase was Olaplex 7 which saved my hair. Great quality!

  • It dried my hair out… I had high hopes but I don’t really recommend especially not for curly hair!!
