- 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 EngageYes, 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

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 EngageNo.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

- Asked by Inked

- Q
Can I use this as a step in dying my hair?
- Asked by tay
- Official Answer By Olaplex - Brand EngageNo, 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...

Worx excellent if used properly
I think people that gave it less than five stars don't know how to use the product. literally says to use before washing you shampoo after it and don't condition then you have to put in your normal moisturizing products. It brought back all my curls & coils. I could tell right after using it because I could run my fingers through my hair where normally I could not it was my last resort before cutting my hair.
This product gave life to my hair again!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I used a hair cleansing first, Olaplex 3 for 5 minutes, my normal shampoo then a hair conditioner mask in the shower for 5 minutes followed by a leave in conditioner after towel drying. My hair has never looked so healthy and shiny in over 10 years!
Disappointed
I bought this product after seeing reviews and it has made my hair so dry and brittle, help! Is their any suggestions on how i can get mybhair back to its soft state? And is there anyway i can receive a refund after purchasing 4 bottles at once? Wish i. Ould have given it no stars.
Always and always
Good product, you don't see the result on the outside but it protects the hair strand a lot on the inside.
A must for processed blondes
My hair was a disaster after my last horrible stylist who kept doing full highlights despite my concerns. Finally left her and found my amazing new stylist who recommended olaplex. My hair was fried, broken, and just awful. The olaplex products repaired my hair and it is the healthiest it has been in years—feels like it did before i started highlighting 20 years ago. Worth every penny.
