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’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.
After Olaplex got a lot of buzz on social media, I asked a hair stylist if she’d recommend it for me. She said that since I don’t really do anything to damage my hair she didn’t, but she would recommend the oil. I liked it enough, I’m definitely a little more allegiant to Paul Mitchell, but I can definitely see how other people would need this line with more damaged hair. PLEASE check if you need this before trying!!

I have tried the No 7 Bonding Oil. I think it really helps my hair in-between seeing my hairdresser. Olaplex is high quality, so I don't doubt its effectiveness and for that reason I rate the oil highly.
Feedback
I prefer the fragrance and "light" feeling of the Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil. The Olaplex fragrance is not anything too special.

I think Olaplex had a grip on us and the market when they first started but it seems that I'm able to find more products now that do the thing as they do at a much lower price point - think Ion's $2 Step 1 Booster versus Olaplex's $28 No3. Their shampoo and conditioner are unremarkable, the dry oil is decent hair oil.
This worked great for my hair.
The hair oil is quite nice, but I haven’t been a fan of any of the other offerings in the line. The shampoo and conditioner were particularly disappointing.
I used the small starter skit of No. 4, 5, 6 and 7. The shampoo, No.4 was very nice to use with lots of foam with just a little applied to my hair. It was a soothing smell and I usually need to wash it twice before I get all the nice foams to wash my hair but this one only required once. The conditioner No. 5 was also good smell and nice spread onto my hair. After I dried off my hair, I applied the No. 7 hair oil and started drying my hair. I wish the oil dispensed a bit more better since it came out little at a time. The smell was amazing and while drying my hair it felt moisturized and my fingers going through my hair better than usual. After the next day, I felt my hair was more moist and soft. Just my first time using but I've been loving it and see how it effects my hair in the next few months. The only downside is the cost but with the good foaming I think it should last for a few months.
TBH, the first time I tried the shampoo/conditioner/bonding oil years and years ago, I was not a fan. What changed? IDK, but it must be their formula because now, after retrying it last month, I AM OBSESSED. I have curly wavy hair that is usually slightly frizzy until day three of no washing. The current number 4 and 5 shampoo/conditioner make my hair look like a goodesses. Buy this if you want covergirl hair.
I wasn't sure at first if Olaplex would work on my fine thin hair, but I was pleasantly surprised. It worked great and made my hair feel super soft and shiny. Definitely will buy it again!
Nothing helped my hair and this did
This is my OG purple shampoo, I've not come across another product that compares or does the same job as Olaplex does. The product itself is strong, as it should be, and it genuinely does what a purple shampoo is meant to. It never fails to brighten and refresh my blonde hair. I find it to be great value for money, and a little bit really does go a long way.
Thought I’d like better than I did. Smells good. Have tried all of their products.
The No 7 bonding oil is the only product I've tried from Olaplex but it is a MUST HAVE for me. The ends of my long hair get really dry in winter. This oil isn't too greasy and a few drops easily work through my hair, by just using my hands.
Olaplex shampoo and condition were both very hydrating and did not cause dandruff to my very dry scalp.
Good experimec
Felt good after wash.
I have used a number of products from olaplex. i love the hair masks
