Q&A

Showing 5 out of 9 Questions
Q
Is this product still effective without using No.0?
Asked by Cece
Official Answer By Olaplex - Brand Engage
Yes, No.3 is effective on its own; No.0 is an optional step that helps prime the hair for enhanced repair but is not required.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
I used this in the shower on wet hair right after I shampooed. I rung out my hair, but did not towel dry it, so it was very wet. Will that still work?
Asked by manda
Official Answer By Olaplex - Brand Engage
Yes, it will still work; however, for best results we recommend applying No.3 to damp, towel-dried hair so the formula isn’t diluted and can penetrate more effectively.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Can this be applied to dry hair before getting in the shower, or does it need to be applied to wet hair?
Asked by Kay Kay
Official Answer By Olaplex - Brand Engage
No.3 can be applied to damp, towel-dried hair or to dry hair before showering, but applying to damp hair is recommended to ensure even distribution and optimal results.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Can this be used on hair with permanent (dye) color?
Asked by Inked
Official Answer By Olaplex - Brand Engage
Yes, No.3 Hair Perfector is safe for permanent color. It strengthens and supports the hair bonds for healthier, more resilient color-treated hair.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Can I use this as a step in dying my hair?
Asked by tay
Official Answer By Olaplex - Brand Engage
No, No.3 should not be mixed into hair dye or used as part of the coloring formula. No.3 is a pre-shampoo repair treatment meant to strengthen hair before washing. If you’d like, you can use No.3 in the days before coloring to help keep your hair strong, but it is not a color additive or a step in the dyeing process.Was this answer helpful to you

My hair has NEVER looked this amazing

I never write reviews, but I had to for this. I would like to start off by saying that this will not cure your split ends, nothing can do that. In order to get rid of split ends, you will have to cut them off. HOWEVER, this is the only product that will actually repair damage (that's not split), p...

Itchy Scalp, Dandruff and Hair Break

My hair is pretty normal and healthy. No chemicals, no treatment, no heat. I decided to use Olaplex to give an extra shine. I purchased n3, 4 and 5. I regret to say that after only 1 week of use, I realized my hair was breaking a lot. After 2 weeks, I could not stop scratching my scalp and my part...

Hair Type Very Curly Hair

I have 3c, thin, bleach damaged hair. I used this product once and there were little to no broken strands in my sink as compared to before. I use to in conjunction with a TGIN deep conditioner. I am sure that it is this product that is working t do that and not the other because I have used it before and it worked then. I have tried kerastase and K18 or whatever. No, this is the best bond builder that I have ever used. I also have a sensitive scalp and this has never irritated my scalp or caused hair loss. Actually, I saw less shedding after 2 weeks of using this twice. If you have disulfide bond breakage from heat styling and bleach, maybe even relaxer, I think, I recommend this product. Just use it as instructed.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I heard only great things about olaplex, but its not for everyone. I have thin, fine colored hair and olaplex was a cause of me losing twice more whole strands than usual and totally messed up my ends, I had to cut 3-4 inches off. Something about the protein in the product?

I dont have damaged hair ive never dyed it or bleached it but it is very dry and this product did make a difference the longer you leave it on the better the result. My hair did look and feel better after the first use and the strands felt stronger when brushing through. They werent as stretchy. I personally dont use it every week more every other week or every three weeks.
