With so many players in the global hair care market today, some companies manage to maintain leadership positions due to their continued excellence in innovation. A US-based Olaplex company is just one of them. So, if you look for innovative hair care products, then opt for a ‘Hair Perfection’ Elixir by Olaplex.
The elixir has been designed to help you to take care of your hair between salon visits. Olaplex Hair Protector No.3 does not contain any harmful ingredients like aldehydes, sulfates, silicones, phthalates and diethanolamine. It is suitable for all hair types, i.e. normal, highlighted, tinted or dyed, as well as permed one. And, as a bonus, it has a delicate creamy texture and a pleasant aroma. With the ‘Hair Perfection’ Elixir, your hair will look as if you’ve just visited a professional salon.

It is recommended to apply a sufficient amount of the elixir to damp, towel-dried hair. Leave it on for at least 10 minutes. If applied to damaged hair, do not rinse the elixir, re-apply and leave it on for another 10 minutes. The longer it stays, the better the result is. The elixir should be washed off with shampoo and conditioner. Recommended for use once a week.

I didn't understand these (0,3,8) products at all. I have light, thin, and fragile hair, and Olaplex had no impact on their quality or appearance whatsoever, it was just nothing. I'm going back to my beloved Kerastase.
This product really works! HOWEVER! Definitely try it with product 0. Don't skimp, I understand that there are not many reviews about it and maybe its usefulness is not entirely clear. I first used 3,4,5,6 - the effect was also good. However, I still decided to follow the care protocol completely - and the effect is just WOW!
I did not understand the effect. I tried it three times, but after that, I no longer use it. After using it, my hair feels rougher, and that's where the effect stops. Nothing more. I don't see any moisturizing effect. I don't see any effect. I don't want to use it because my hair seems worse after using it. Maybe it suits someone judging by the reviews. My hair has a porous structure, and I am a level 10 blonde. I let my mom and friend try it, they are also blondes, and they didn't like it either. There are much better masks available.
This is simply unreal, I got a "wow" effect right from the start. My hair hasn't been like this in a very long time, since that distant year of 2013 when I first bleached my hair from black to blonde. It's soft, voluminous, and it feels like I have so much hair. Just the day before yesterday, it was tangled, and even on the first day after washing it, it was somewhat manageable, but on the second day, the ends wouldn't stay down and were sticking out. But now, it's a shock, I never thought my hair could become like it used to be. I used it in combination with K18 and Olaplex 6.
Something unimaginable, hair feels like silk when rinsing off the product. I wonder why the technique is like this, applying it to wet hair and then washing with shampoo and conditioner, I want to try it differently. In any case, the product is amazing, so go ahead and give it a try.
It is worth its money. I apply it to the ends after washing my hair and then dry it with a hairdryer without rinsing. When I have time, I apply it as a mask. I am very satisfied with the results.
Just top. I used Olaplex cream (6) for a year and noticed that my hair became more alive with it. I decided that I wanted to try the shampoo and conditioner. And with these 3 products, my hair FINALLY started to revive, I couldn't restore it for 3 years after the blonde! I really hope that this will continue to work because I am very satisfied at the moment.
Unbelievable! After lightening my hair, it became extremely tangled, especially when wet. It was very difficult to comb through. However, after using Olaplex, my hair returned to its previous state before lightening and maybe even better.
I have already used a second jar. My hair is stronger, sheds less, and is less frizzy. It feels denser and looks thicker. I apply it according to the instructions on damp, towel-dried hair for 10-20 minutes, sometimes longer. The main condition is that the hair should be wet for the product to work. It seems to work better for me when used in combination with #0. After leaving it on, I shampoo and apply a hair mask. The product is definitely effective.
Great elixir, I have been using it not for the first time and I can see the effect.
I particularly liked number 3 for hair. I apply it on damp hair and it becomes soft and pleasant. I had damage and bleaching, so my hair needs moisture. It's also a good hair conditioner, and I decided to try the new heat protectant.
This is the best mask for blondes! It leaves the hair looking like it's just been done at the salon, but you need to leave it on for at least 30 minutes.
I really don't like it at all, as it doesn't moisturize but instead makes it dry and brittle.
It's great for blondes, I apply it after washing as a mask (a sufficient amount), once a week and it needs to be left on for a long time! This is important, at least 30 minutes, you can leave it on longer, and then rinse it off and use conditioner. The hair becomes heavier, denser, less porous, and stronger (do not apply to the roots as it will become greasy). I also tried shade number 8, but it was too greasy for my dry hair, and the result is better with shade 3.
Great product. Works excellently. Rescues hair after lightening. I don't know what else can be added.
I have been using it for the second year already and will continue to buy it in the future. I apply it every four days under the food film and leave it on for about an hour. As a final step, I apply a mask and the effect is really great. My hair is naturally porous and has an air touch.
Not an original product.
WOW!!!! For the first time, my thin porous dyed blond hair has stopped breaking!!! This review comes after several months of use. I can't say that the product makes my hair smooth and silky, but it prevents breakage and future split ends by 100%.
I mainly use it on the ends of my hair, after washing with shampoo on wet hair. I apply a sufficient amount of the product and leave it on for an hour, maybe longer. If the ends start to dry out, I dampen them again. Then I rinse it out and continue with conditioner and my regular hair care routine.
The product is perfect, but most people use it incorrectly. It should be applied to washed, damp hair, applied throughout the length (preferably with a brush), and left on for a couple of hours (or overnight is also fine). Only after 5-6 treatments once a month will there be an effect. The hair will become thick, smooth, and won't become so fluffy. Tested on my own blonde hair.
I am adding to my review from October 3rd. I use the product once a week, following the instructions. I don't know what happened, but my hair feels like wire and stands straight up on my head. Yesterday, I even noticed a hole in my scalp, and a bunch of hair fell out. I can only blame the product, as all my other hair care products are old. However, the shine after the hole is incredible.
I ordered this product during a promotion and based on very positive reviews. The elixir truly deserves attention! I used it twice, once on Sunday, and I really noticed an improvement in the condition of my blonde hair. I highly recommend it! The bottle contains 100 ml, which is enough for 5 procedures.
I have only used it twice, with a week break in between. The first time, I applied it to wet, shampooed hair, kept it under a cap for 40 minutes, and without rinsing, applied the Vieso Ylang mask, leaving it on for an additional 20 minutes. I emulsified and rinsed it off without shampoo. I don't insist on the correctness of my method, but I was pleasantly surprised. My hair is colored, porous, and dry, almost waist-length. After these procedures, my hair feels silky, cool to the touch, and doesn't require combing throughout the day. After a week, I applied it to freshly shampooed hair overnight. I liked the result less. For my length, a teaspoon is enough, and I have quite long and thick hair. After applying it to my palm, I rub it well until it turns white, then apply it and comb through with a comb. I also want to mention that I got it on sale for 600 UAH, so I am satisfied with the price as well. Thank you to my favorite store for great prices and fast delivery.
I have been using this product for a year now and I must say that it works quite well on my naturally porous and highlighted hair. After using the product, I apply the rinse-off conditioner from the same brand.
I decided to write this review just so that girls who, like me, know the original, do not waste their money in vain like me!
This product is not original. It contains some cheap-smelling balm in the jar. It's awful. After buying two original jars from a store, I ordered the third one on makeup websites and here's what I got. I love makeup and I'm grateful for the opportunity to order products quickly at reasonable prices. But I won't be ordering expensive or professional cosmetics from here anymore.
This is a good product for home care and it worked well for my tired hair. I felt the results even after the first use. However, it would be helpful if the instructions on how to use this product were provided on the jar (translated). Thankfully, at least the website description has it written.
This product is good, but you need to leave it on for a long time. If you want to see results, leave it on as a mask for 20-30 minutes, then the effect will be truly visible (under a cap). Otherwise, this conditioner makes hair very greasy.
The product works. I use it once a week during the recovery period from damages. I apply it for 10+ minutes before washing, and I've been using it for about a month now. My hair has stopped breaking at the ends, and the ends themselves look less split and much healthier. I used to think that hair recovery was a lie and that cutting it was the only solution, but Olaplex No. 3 truly surprised me.
After bleaching my hair to total blonde, it turned into straw. I used Olaplex 3 for a month, leaving it on for 45 minutes before washing my hair. Immediately, I felt how my hair became smooth and easier to comb. However, this product does not replace basic care. A sulfate-free shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in conditioner must be present in your hair care routine. I will definitely buy it again!
I didn't buy it here, but I liked this thing so much that I want to leave a review. I have natural porous hair. After a failed hair lamination procedure, it became impossible to comb, the ends were dead, and the texture was like an old mop. Before going to cut it off, I decided to try No. 3. And a miracle happened, after a month of using No. 3, my hair completely recovered. After two months of use, it became incredibly shiny, denser, softer to the touch, tangle-free, and easy to style. I highly recommend it to everyone, regardless of hair structure, length, or color.
I wouldn't say it's a "wow" product, but it definitely does something. Whether I would buy it again, I'll think twice.
I have been using Olaplex consistently, and I must say, it is an excellent haircare product for both maintenance and hair restoration purposes.
The last hope for damaged hair. It is worth its money. Hair is filled and gains weight. I keep it under a cap for over an hour.
This is the best thing that has happened to my hair. After bleaching, the quality of my hair was severely damaged, but this product worked wonders. It made my hair lively, shiny, and pleasant to touch. I highly recommend it!
In short, thanks to this product, my hair has been transformed from dull to beautiful and shiny. It has a cumulative effect.
I didn't see any effect at all, I ordered it with high hopes. I've tried applying it twice now, but absolutely nothing has changed with my hair. What a waste of money.
No effect at all. Hair started falling out even more.
The product has no effect whatsoever. It did not make my hair shine, whether I used it or listened to the radio.
I have doubts about the authenticity of the product because I bought it twice on a foreign marketplace and it worked well - my hair was shiny and smooth, everything was great. I decided to buy it here, but there is no effect at all. I have tested it four times already.
Furthermore, the sticker on top of the batch code shows a different manufacturing date than the actual batch code.
P.S. My previous review expressing doubts about the authenticity of the product was deleted after moderation. Who knows how many more reviews like that were written before this situation.
I was pleasantly surprised by this product! I went from being a brunette to a blonde through a series of hair lightening treatments, and as a result, my hair became very dry and damaged. After using Olaplex (I only did it three times), my hair noticeably became stronger, more resilient, and elastic. I apply it to wet hair and leave it on for an hour, then rinse it off with shampoo and conditioner (Tresemme). The shine is definitely guaranteed afterwards!
Great product, it really works. After bleaching my hair with Airtech technique, I had a lot of short, dry, and brittle hair sticking out. I thought there was no way to save them, but this product made them look alive again, and now my hair looks consistently attractive. I will definitely order more.
There is definitely an effect from this thing. Lately, I have had terribly dry hair that was breaking off. I looked at various reviews for this product and decided to give it a try. For the first 2 weeks, I used it twice a week and kept it on for an hour. After 2 weeks, my hair has significantly improved, they seem more nourished somehow. Now I use it once a week, also for an hour. So far, I am satisfied with the result. My hair finally doesn't split and looks alive. However, I think this is not only thanks to this product but also to the overall hair care routine.
I deeply regret purchasing this product.
This is the only product that has allowed me to grow long hair. When using other masks and shampoos, my hair would still break and remain at the same length. Only when I started using Olaplex did my hair start growing. Afterwards, I switched to regular products and over time, my hair's quality decreased again. So I highly recommend it to everyone. I have blonde, porous, and curly hair, and it's perfect for me! I also want to try their shampoo and mask.
Well, the scent is pleasant, but that's about it for the positives. The application method is a whole different story. You're supposed to apply it to damp (!), towel-dried (!) hair before shampooing. However, I didn't notice any effect on curl formation or anything else for that matter. Oh, and the jar looks nice in the bathroom, until you realize that with its shape and the thickness of the product, you have to constantly keep it upside down once it's about halfway gone.
I apply the product on damp hair at night, and in the morning I rinse and wash my hair with shampoo. And voila, my hair is moisturized and shiny. It is a good product.
The number 1 is working great.
I have been watching videos for over a year on how people restore the shape of their curls, which have become barely noticeable waves due to sulfates, discoloration, straightening, and other treatments. I couldn't understand what the problem was. After 10 years of short haircuts and daily washing with sulfate shampoo without conditioner, my hair noticeably straightened. I thought that maybe the structure of my hair had changed with age and there was nothing I could do about it.
I tried all the care tips from those videos, except for Olaplex #3. Well, in the end, I haven't used sulfate shampoos for 2.5 years and I protect my hair, I have never bleached or used a straightener, so there was seemingly nothing to restore...
But it turns out there is something! I finally noticed that it is mentioned in all those videos, so I bought it. I wasn't expecting miracles, but they started happening after the very first use! My hair started holding the curl even without cream or gel, which hadn't happened for many years. Now, it's the third day with just leave-in conditioner, and I still have nice curls, not barely wavy like before Olaplex. Plus, my hair is very silky and shiny. Super! I have only tried it once so far, but I am already pleasantly surprised.
Love at first use, and ever since it has always been on my shelf. It is irreplaceable for caring for blonde hair. It fills in the porous strands, making them smooth, shiny, and voluminous. This perfector genuinely corrects the hair structure. You simply can't achieve such an effect with just masks. I use it once every 1-2 weeks. I want to try #8 next.
Disappointment... money wasted and time lost... zero results. I do not recommend it.
Apparently, as always, I am special because this product is as useless to me as a dead weight. Even if we assume that the product works in the long term and has a cumulative effect, it missed the mark here too. I tried it for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and even 2 hours, but there was no benefit. My hair condition did not improve even by a gram. It only lasted for 7 uses on my thin, porous hair. I will definitely not buy it again and I won't recommend it either. I can't stand products that are overpriced and receive excessive praise while providing zero results. I give one star solely for the store and its delivery service, which is always reliable.
The product is definitely worth its money! The first result was noticeable after the first procedure. The jar lasted for five applications. As a result, the hair is much easier to comb, soft and silky to the touch, tangles less, and has gained an incredible shine (it has been a month since the last use of Olaplex, and the effect on the hair is still the same), the usual care hasn't changed. I followed the instructions (shampoo-Olaplex-shampoo-conditioner), and kept it on my hair for two hours. I will buy another jar, and not just one, I am in love ❤️ Thank you, MakeUp team, for your prompt work.
For my dry, bleached, porous, and thick hair, this product is a lifesaver! I followed the instructions, and I find it strange to read negative reviews about unsuccessful experiences. This is not a kitchen, so DIY is not appropriate here. Everything works! The product is magical! Thank you, MakeUp, for the excellent service!
I really liked this product. It definitely improves the condition of my hair, and thanks to it, my hair ends have become smoother and no longer "stick out like straw."
This is undoubtedly the best recipe for anyone who thinks their hair is beyond saving!
Ladies, read the instructions carefully!
Keep it on for at least an hour! Then, it's not just about rinsing, but washing with shampoo, and don't forget the conditioner!
And when you go to the salon for coloring, make sure to ask for Olaplex as well!
The product has a specific feature, and it lies in the fact that it does not give an immediate wow effect like cosmetic silicones until the next wash! It deeply restores the hair by repairing internal bonds. Just like you don't expect a wow effect from taking a single vitamin pill, right!!!
My recipe, approved by a professional and tested on grown-out bleached hair: apply a generous amount of the product to damp hair (after towel-drying) at night, blow-dry it slightly, and brush it for even distribution. In the morning, rinse it off with maximum use of shampoo, mask, and conditioner!!! Repeat this routine once a week for one and a half to two months, until you feel that your hair is completely healthy. For me, one 100ml bottle was enough. After that, repeat the procedure either after harmful exposure to the hair or once a month.
P.S. The comments...(((( Why write nonsense if you haven't even read the instructions properly! And there's no mention of a mask there!!!! Then don't complain about dry hair!!! Don't write silly things if you haven't at least read the description!!!
I am leaving a review for girls who have tried this product and did not like the results. Based on my experience, I have tried this mask twice, using it as a salon treatment for my blonde hair, which was of poor quality at the time. I was very dissatisfied as my hair felt like straw, dry, and even more prone to falling out. When I found my hairdresser, he insisted that I try again, but this time at home and with the correct technique. Simply put, #3 is not a mask or conditioner; it has a different purpose. Therefore, it is important to moisturize the hair well with a mask afterwards to achieve the desired effect. Currently, I have the complete range of home care products and I am very satisfied with them. My hair has grown, feels smooth to the touch, and the tangled and messy look after a night's sleep is no longer a problem. It is easy to comb them even when wet. Give it a try, it might help someone.
Reading reviews, I understand that everyone has their own preferences, and what works for one person may not work for another. But let me tell you about my experience. I have already purchased two jars of this product. I followed the instructions and was very pleased with the results. My hair is thin, especially at the ends, but after rinsing, they came back to life. There was no heaviness or greasy look. The ends no longer look like hedgehogs. One time, I forgot to rinse it out because I was busy with household chores during the day, and the result was even better. Now I apply it at night and rinse it off in the morning.
I also bought the number 5 product from this series for hair care. I use it for 10 minutes after washing my hair and then rinse it off. The effect is also good, and this series suits me well. I have been a blonde for 18 years, so it's understandable that my ends are damaged, but this product works.
This product is amazing, I bought it abroad. The effect is really great, it leaves my hair very soft and shiny.
But as I read all the comments, I am surprised to see how many people are using this product incorrectly: after washing their hair with shampoo, instead of using conditioner, together with a hair mask, and so on. The correct way (which is also mentioned on the official Olaplex website) is to use this product BEFORE shampooing. You just need to wet your hair thoroughly with water, squeeze out the excess with a towel, apply the product, then rinse it out with shampoo and use conditioner/hair mask afterwards.
This product is useless. The color is blond. It made my hair even worse, completely ruined it! I will never buy it again and I cannot recommend it.
I tried the blonde dye, but unfortunately, it didn't help at all.
