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.

  • This is the OG of keeping your hair strong and healthy. I know new products come on social media and are all the rave, but at the end of the day, Olaplex is the only one that delivers constant results.

  • Olaplex has been a true savior for my hair! After countless color treatments and heat styling, my hair was feeling brittle and lacked the luster it once had. Enter Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector – a game-changer in the world of hair care. Using this at-home treatment has noticeably reduced breakage and restored a sense of strength to my hair. I apply it weekly, and each time, I'm impressed by how much smoother and healthier my hair feels. The formulation is easy to use, and the fact that it works on a molecular level to repair bonds is genuinely remarkable. What sets Olaplex apart is its ability to deliver professional-level results in the comfort of my home. It's become an essential part of my routine, especially when I want to maintain the vibrancy of my color-treated hair. Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side, but the results are worth every penny. If you're looking to revive and strengthen your hair, Olaplex is a must-try!

  • I was a hair stylist for 10 years, this is an amazing product line. I have used everything and this never disappeared me. A little goes a long way. But it reminds your hair and that is great.

  • I use this 3 times a week, all of it - shampoo, cond, leave in, the whole set. My hair always feels great when I use it!

  • Good product, my hair felt significantly better after using no 3. Bottles are quite small for price point and results seemed short lasting

  • Family used this on my hair amazing results would 100 percent recommend 5 star

  • High quality products. My hair was severely damaged from bleaching so I started using the olaplex products and my hair came back to life. After a couple of weeks my hair felt more hydrated and the curls were more defined with less frizz. I used the no3 as a hair mask left it on for 10 min every week and it helped a lot

  • Smells great and is not damaging to natural or treated hair. The product in itself is great for the scalp.

  • I use the Olaplex bonding oil in my hair after washes and the intensive repair spray 10 mins before washes. The oil helps me tame any frizz and add shine that lasts for days!

  • I love these products for my blond hair. The masks are the best for nourishing and hydrating dry hair.

  • I have very thick 3C hair & the Olaplex No. 8 Bond moisture mask worked miracles on my colored/heat damaged hair. The only downside is the high price point but truthfully the results are worth it.

  • Good product

  • As someone who goes brassy very quickly I am always on the hunt for a good purple shampoo. Having tried TONS it is safe to say that the Olaplex purple shampoo is my favorite. You only need a small amount, and it is noticeable in one wash. Highly recommend.

  • As someone with fine and thin hair, finding the right haircare products can be a challenge. Thankfully, I discovered Olaplex, and it has been a game-changer for me. From their shampoo and conditioner to their bond oil, every product has worked wonders for my hair. Incorporating Olaplex into my routine has been essential, and I've noticed significant growth and improvement in the health of my hair. I can't recommend it enough for anyone with similar hair concerns.

  • Having integrated Olaplex into my hair care routine for nearly a year, I’m well-positioned to testify to its effectiveness. The standout stars for me are the No.0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment and the No.3 Hair Perfector. These products have been game changers, deeply repairing and bonding my hair from the inside out. As someone with frizzy, fine, and wavy hair, finding products that make a noticeable difference has always been a challenge. From the very first use of Olaplex, however, the transformation was palpable. My hair felt rejuvenated, more manageable, and significantly less frizzy. Maintaining this routine bi-weekly has reinforced these benefits, ensuring my hair stays in optimal condition. If you’re on the fence about Olaplex due to the price point, let my experience assure you: it’s an investment that pays dividends in hair health and appearance.

  • I've been using the hair perfector for over 6 months. I mix it in with my conditioner and leave it on for 20mins. I started using it to help with split ends. My hair is dry and naturally curly but I straighten it so the ends are constantly splitting. I've definitely seen a difference in the condition of my hair for the better,

  • I love this stuff for your hair. It really truly makes a difference with your hair health…BUT ITS SO EXPENSIVE

  • Worked miracles on my hair my hair was damaged and starting to thin out and after using this product for a few months I've noticed my hair is stronger and thicker

  • I have been a huge of Olaplex especially their product N.7 bonding oil. Gives my hair the most amazing shine and and hydrating feel and look to it. I do find it a little bit pricey for a 30ml bottle
