OLAPLEX reviews and discussion

4.1

77% of reviewers would recommend to a friend

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.

    These products are pricey but I like when they are used in the salon for deep conditioning. When used long term at home, I don’t see significant improvement in my hair.

    These products do work well for many and I do like certain products in the line but I don’t think this works for me as a regular use product.

    I have used a few of the OLAPLEX products, mainly the shampoo, the No5 conditioner and the bonding oil. I must say I was a little bit disappointed by the conditioner since it left my hair very heavy and oily (I washed it very well). Other than that, I love them.

    The only improvement that they can do is try and reformulate the conditioner. It's really heavy.

    I have the shampoo, conditioner and the bond smoother. The bond smoother has been an absolute game changer for me - has dramatically reduced drying time and helps control my frizz.

    Feedback

    I like the shampoo and conditioner but I haven't seen any dramatic improvement in my hair since using it. Struggling to justify the price of it. I think the treatment products are more worth the investment!

    Used the bond maintenance shampoo & conditioner once and my husband literally commented on how good my hair looked. Much more moisturized and reduced fly aways.

    Instructions on how much product to use since it is "concentrated"

    I have only used olaplex 3 and it does wonder to my hair. As it is curly this means that is naturally dry so I used it once per week and I have seen quite a difference.

    I tried No. 5 after a horrible balayage mishap where my hair fell out in chucks. Olaplex truly brought my hair back to life. I was intrigued when my hair dresser, who suggested it to me, said it bonded the hair at a molecular level. It’s what I needed. My hair grew back so fast and so strong!
