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.

  • Made my hair strong and buttery soft. Helped my lost hair grow back. Expensive, but worth every penny.

  • Been using the purple shampoo for 6 months, and my hair feel great!

  • Surprisingly worked!

  • I Love this product! It has saved my hair and sanity. Everything is so smooth and I don't have the frizz. LOVE IT

  • I loveee this product. Has honestly changed my hair. I do not use it all the time because it is pricey, but definitely worth it

  • I'm a picky shampoo and conditioner user. Having thick and colored hair I like to make sure my products can help with not only colored hair, but thick hair to avoid frizzy hair. Olaplex helps me as a mom of a teen save on spending money on multiple shampoos and conditioners-it's made for ALL hair types. I love that Olaplex not only can fit my colored hair type but also my teenage daughters. Plus it's free of chemicals-no parabens, no sulfates. This is a winning product for any household with moms and daughters.

  • Amazing purple shampoo,my favorite color!

  • Amazing 👏 🤩 just expensive.

  • Talk about luxury! I was first introduced to Olaplex by my hairdresser who insisted these products were a must for my long, bleached-blonde hair. After just the first use, I noticed a remarkable difference in the feel, frizziness, and shine. The smell is clean and wonderful. I’ve been hooked ever since. I love the hair mask as well!

  • I've been using the No. 4 shampoo for over a year. I have vivid colors in my hair and they definitely fade a lot slower with Olaplex shampoo than they do a "color safe" shampoo that you find at the drug store. It's expensive but you only need a little each time so it'll last a while.

  • Very good products, the olaplex 3 and 5 are favorites!

  • My hair stylist originally recommended the Ola Plex system, and oh my goodness. I was using it for about two years and absolutely loved it! The only reason I am not giving it five stars is because it is a little bit pricey, but I will say it is well worth it, and I could see a noticeable difference in my hair within first two weeks of use.

  • Made my hair feel good at the time of use, however over time my hair fell out in clumps and completely snapped. Would never use again!

  • Although pricey, this brand stands up time after time. I use numerous products, but use an Olaplex treatment when hair seems too dry. Highly recommend!

  • these products are so good and smell amazing too they have helped my hair help so much especially the shampoo and conditioner!

  • Used this after bleaching my hair. It was good but not the miracle product I was expecting it to be!

  • Im not a fan of Olaplex, I find it dried my hair out, no matter what products I was using. The only product that I would recommend is the hair oil but you dont get much product in the packaging.

  • I use this hair treatment every time after highlighting my hair, and love how it works. It looks and feels less damaged, and it’s easier to manage. The small bottle is pricey, but totally worth it.

  • i love olaplex hands down my favorite hair care products!
