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 have been using Olaplex, my favorite ones are leave in conditioner and oil. Shampoo is bit dense for my hair.

  • I was surprised at the results the treatment gave me because i usually have dull hair towards the ends but the hair oil and conditioner maintained the soft and silkyness for days leaving me with shiny hair that was easy to style and wake up to.

    I bought this!
  • Olaplex may cost me an entire kidney and first born child, but she's worth it. I use the bond maintenance shampoo and conditioner, No. 9 hair serum, hair oil, and dry shampoo. Everything's great, and I've learned the hard way that the hair serum and oil actually do something (I thought surely my hair would be fine for one day). The star of the show is the dry shampoo, though. I'm super super super picky about my dry shampoo and this is the first olaplex product that I can say really stands apart from their competitors. The fragrance isn't overwhelming (which is one of my biggest dry shampoo pet peeves) and volumizes hair

  • I love No7 and No3 by OLAPLEX. No3 is my favorite because it leaves my hair super silky. I don't really like the scent of No6 and it doesn't absorb into my hair fully, leaving a bit of a sticky feeling so I don't use it much.

  • My hair became strong and strong after using olaplex #3.

  • Love the cleaning cloths. Shampoo smells amazing

  • 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.
