Worth the hype!
Trying Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector for the first time felt a little overdue. I had heard about it for years, friends raving, stylists recommending it, social media constantly calling it a "holy grail." At the same time, I've tried enough hyped-up hair products to know that not everything lives up t...

Subtle but Strong: Olaplex No.3 Plus Strengthened My Hair
I've been a fan of Olaplex products for a while and I've loved almost everything I've tried, but I have to be honest this one didn't really impress me at first. I made sure my hair was really dirty before trying it so in my before photo you can clearly see it was greasy, flat, and had no life. I app...

Such a great experience!
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I am in love!!! This is my first Olaplex product I have ever tried and I have had an amazing time with it so far. I cannot get over how good it smells. I'm not the best with pinpointing exact notes but this is very clean and florally, one of the best smelling hair products I've used in a while. I was initially skeptical that I would notice anything after the first use but I definitely did in terms of my hairs softness. It also felt less brittle, and dry! Looking further into the ingredients used, they work at the molecular level compared to other bond treatments and this gives me peace of mind that I am providing the best care to my hair. I was gifted this in exchange for my honest review.
Whatever is in this…Is like liquid gold for my hair
Hair Type Very Curly Hair
I do not have naturally curly hair, it's the result of a perm from awhile ago-and you can tell because not only was my hair insanely frizzy but also damaged, it was visible and I struggled to find a hair routine that could make my hair look good for longer than 72 hours. Tons of money invested in bond repair products with only a few here and there making a difference in a lucky day. Masks made my hair too greasy-I could go on. This product is meant to be used BEFORE shampooing which was heavily questioned by me at first because how is something supposed to work if I put it in BEFORE I shampoo? But I shouldn't have doubted it -because after the first time I could notice the difference in my ends and it was like the thing that my routine needed all along. It feels like I have the last infinity stone in my routine. The after photo is my hair FIVE DAYS after a wash and with minimal split ends 🥹 my friends think I'm sponsored by olaplex with how often I'm suggesting this product, my hair feels stronger and looks better on a long term basis now ❤️it gets better each and each time, even in dry Colorado my hair looks so great now!
Olaplex game is still on!
Hair Type Straight Hair
Olaplex has earned a top title in the hair care game and definitely for a reason. I was so thrilled to try their new formula of no.3PLUS Complete Bond Repair Pre-Shampoo Hair Treatment and it didn't disappoint! With the new formula it's supposed to be used for 3 minutes before the wash couple times a week. I've used it 4 times in a row and here's my results in the video with before and after. I've definitely noticed my hair has become softer and less frizzy. As for the bond treatment, I think I need to use it for a long time to notice my hair not breaking easily and if my hair grow longer. But I would recommend to add this bond treatment for your hair care routine if you want healthier hair. The product smells amazing and leaves the scent for the whole day. The texture is also great, not too runny or heavy. I received this product from Olaplex for review purposes.
Little bottle, big impact!
Hair Type Straight Hair
Olaplex is one of those brands you expect big things from. It took me a few washes to convince me, but I think this No3 plus repair treatment is really helping my hair! I have pretty straight hair and my main concern is not so much frizz, but the health of my hair. Before my hair was pretty dry looking and lacked that free swaying movement you get with really healthy hair- that's what I'm trying to get back. After my first treatment I didn't notice much of a difference, but I kept at it. By treatment 3 I could really see a difference and that it was changing the smoothness of my hair and it was getting more shine also! I think it's really helping!! Going to keep going with high hopes! I've been using this prewash on wet hair for 3 minutes, but I see some use it longer for like 10 mins. I'm going to try this next time! I received this item as part of an educational promotion.
COOL
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I was really excited to give this a try. You only need to leave it on your hair for three minutes, which was impressive. I applied it all over my hair, but used a lot less of the product on my scalp, really wanting to saturate the rest of my hair including my ends, where I see the most damage and dryness. I am impressed with this product- but not wowed by it. I do want to use it more times to see if that makes a bigger difference. So far I've only done one treatment. I do notice that usually I need to was my hair again or use dry shampoo about three days after my last shower, but after using the olaplex I've been going strong for 5 days, so that's a bonus for sure!

- Q
I cannot use many shampoos or anything in my hair that contains "sodium chloride" because it would wash out the Brazilian Keratin treatments that I get done to my hair. It does not say anywhere if this is safe for "chemically treated" hair? Would it wash out the Keratin treatment if I use Olaplex New No.3 PLUS?
- Asked by Deedah317
- Official Answer By Olaplex - Brand EngageNº.3PLUS is color-safe and suitable for chemically treated hair, and sodium chloride is not listed in the current ingredient list. Since Brazilian Keratin treatments can have specific aftercare requirements, we recommend confirming compatibility with your stylist or treatment manufacturer to help preserve your results.Was this answer helpful to you
