OLAPLEX No.3 Hair Perfector Pre-Shampoo Strengthening and Reparative Hair Treatment

Most Helpful Positive Review

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...revent future damage, and prevent your split ends from splitting up your hair strands. So nonetheless, it's worth every single penny. For a bit of background, I have very dark brown, thick, tailbone length straight hair. It was blonde for about 8 years using box dye and was quite a few colors during its blonde phase. I stopped dying it 2 years ago but as you can imagine, this totally destroyed my hair over the years. It was fried, dry, so many split ends, completely dead, tangled so incredibly easy, and looked like straw. Because I love my length, my boyfriends mom (who went to cosmetology school) cut as much damage as she could while still preserving my length, it's now waist length. The chop obviously helped loads, but she mentioned I desperately could use a hair mask to help moisturize my very dry length. This is when I started doing some searching and found Olaplex n.3. I had already used a hair mask (Hairitage Mask-querade. Highly recommend), which did help moisturize and it already felt so much better, but I was looking for something to help prevent further damage while I grew my hair out again so we could cut off the rest of the damage. After some contemplating and reading so many good reviews, I finally bit the bullet and bought Olaplex N.3. I used it 3 days ago, left it on for only 15 minutes, hopped in the shower, did my thing. I'd first like to state that a little goes a very long way. Even with my long and thick hair, I didn't use very much. I sectioned my hair is 3 parts (left side, right side, middle) and applied a quarter size amount to each section. I let my hair air dry, and all I can say is holy cow. My hair is so incredibly strong, soft, smooth, shiny, moisturized, easy to brush, and it actually looks HEALTHY. My hair has NEVER looked this good, not even before I bleached it. Obviously once the hair has split, nothing can fix that beside cutting it off, so my split ends are (obviously) still there but this will help prevent my hair from splitting further as well as prevent further damage, overall my hair is stronger and healthier which I am stoked about. Seriously, I am in shock at how healthy my hair looks. It doesn't even tangle nor knot anymore!!! I used to rip my hair out trying to untangle it!! I was ready to cut it to shoulder length and just start growing it from the beginning again but this has been a game changer and has likely just saved my hair and my length. This is a product I will continue to use even after I've grown out and cut off all my damage. It truly is a lifesaver and it makes me so incredibly happy to see my hair in such good condition after only ONE USE. I recommend this to EVERYONE.
