This product really works! BUT! Definitely try it with product 0. Don't skimp, I understand that there are not many reviews about it and maybe the usefulness is not completely clear. I used it for the first time with 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 didn't understand the effect. I tried it three times, but after that, I don't use it anymore. After using it, my hair feels rougher, and that's where the effect stops. Nothing more. I don't see any moisturizing effect or any other effect. I don't want to use it because it seems to make my hair worse. Maybe it suits someone based on the reviews. I have porous hair with a level 10 blonde color. I let my mom and friend, who are also blondes, try it, but they didn't like it either. There are much better masks available.
This is just unbelievable, I got a "Wow" effect right from the start. My hair hasn't been this way in a very long time, since that distant year of 2013 when I first bleached my hair from black to blonde. My hair is now loose, soft, and it looks like I have a lot of it. Just two days ago, it was tangled, the first day after washing it was somewhat better, but on the second day, the ends were sticking out instead of lying flat. 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. It's interesting why the technique is like this, applying on wet hair and then washing with shampoo and conditioner. I want to try a different approach. In any case, the product is superb, 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 use it as a mask. I am very satisfied with the result."
Just amazing. I have been using Olaplex cream (6) for a year and noticed that my hair looked 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 going blonde! I really hope that this all continues to work, because for now, I am very satisfied.
Unbelievable! After lightening my hair, it started getting incredibly tangled, especially when they were wet. It was very difficult to comb through them. However, after using Olaplex, my hair returned to its previous state before lightening, and maybe even better.
I have been using this product for the second time now. My hair is stronger, sheds less, and is less frizzy. It feels denser to the touch. I apply it according to the instructions on towel-dried hair for 10-20 minutes, sometimes longer. The main condition is that the hair should be damp for the product to work. It seems to work better when used together with product #0. After rinsing, I shampoo and apply a hair mask. This 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 my hair. I apply it on damp hair and it makes my hair soft and pleasant. I had some damage and highlights, so my hair needs moisturizing. I also tried the new heat protectant, which is a good hair conditioner.
This is the best mask for blondes! It leaves your hair salon-fresh, but you need to leave it on for at least 30 minutes.
I really don't like it at all. It doesn't moisturize at all, in fact, it makes it dry and brittle.
It is great for blondes. I apply it after washing as a mask (a sufficient amount) once a week and it should be left on for a long time! This is important, at least 30 minutes, but you can leave it on longer. It should be heated before rinsing and then use conditioner. The hair becomes heavier, denser, less porous, and stronger. Do not apply it to the roots as it will make them greasy. I also tried shade number 8, but it was too greasy for my dry hair, and the result is better with shade number 3.
This is an awesome tool. It works excellently. It saves your hair after bleaching. I don't know what else to add.
I have been using this product for the second year now and I will continue to buy it in the future. I apply it every four days under a food wrap and leave it on for about an hour. As a final step, I apply a mask and the effect is really amazing. My hair is naturally porous and also damaged from air touch.
Not original.
WOW!!!! For the first time, my thin porous bleached 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 definitely prevents breakage and future split ends by 100%.
I mainly use it on the ends of my hair, after washing with shampoo while it's still wet. I apply a sufficient amount of the product and leave it on for an hour, maybe even longer. If the ends start to dry out, I dampen them again. Then I rinse it out, use conditioner, and follow my usual hair care routine.
The product is perfect, but most people are not using it correctly. It should be applied to clean, damp hair, applied throughout the length (preferably with a brush) and left on for a couple of hours (can also be left overnight). Only after 5-6 treatments per month will the effect be noticeable. The hair will become thick, smooth, and less frizzy. 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 up straight on my head. Yesterday, I even got a hole on my scalp and a clump of hair fell out. I can only blame it on this product, as all my other hair care products are old. However, the shine remains incredible, even with the hole.
This product is highly effective for hair restoration.
I have used it only twice, with a one-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.
I have colored, porous, and dry hair that is almost waist-length. After the aforementioned procedures, my hair feels like silk, cool to the touch, and doesn't require combing throughout the day.
After a week, I applied it to 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 palms, I rub it well until it whitens and then apply it, followed by combing it with a comb.
I would like to add that I bought 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 have to say that it works quite well on my naturally porous and light-colored hair. After using the product, I apply a rinse-off conditioner from the same brand.
I decided to write this review only so that those girls who, like me, know the original, don't waste their money like I did!
The product is not authentic. It is filled with some cheap smelling balm. It's terrible. After buying two original jars from a store, I ordered the third one on Makeup.com, and here's what I got. I love makeup and I am grateful for the opportunity to order products quickly and at reasonable prices. However, I will no longer order expensive or professional cosmetics from here.
Not a bad product for both home care and my tired hair, it worked well and I could feel the results even after the first use. However, it would be helpful if the instructions on how to use this product were indicated on the jar (translated). It's good that at least there is a description on the website.
This is a good product, 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 you will see a noticeable effect (under a shower cap). Otherwise, this conditioner makes your hair very greasy.
The product works. I use it once a week during the recovery period from damage, applying it for 10+ minutes before washing, 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 hair restoration was a lie and that you could only trim it, but Olaplex No. 3 truly surprised me.
After bleaching my hair, it turned into straw. I used Olaplex 3 for a month, leaving it on for 45 minutes before washing my hair. Immediately, I felt my hair becoming 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 product so much that I want to leave a review. I have naturally 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, 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 better than ever before - 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 would think twice.
Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase. My hair is not particularly damaged, but it is lightened. Therefore, I didn't notice any "wow" effect, but I did notice that the product makes my hair very soft.
The way I like to use it is by wetting my hair along the length and ends before washing it. I apply a small amount of Olaplex for about 10 minutes, then shampoo twice, followed by conditioner/mask and drying with oil/cream. The result is great!
I also like to use it after shampooing and before conditioner/mask (without them, my hair lacks moisture when using only Olaplex).
Last hope for damaged hair. It is worth its price. Hair becomes fuller and gains weight. I leave it on for more than an hour under a cap.
This is the best thing that has happened to my hair. After lightening, the quality of my hair was severely damaged, but this product worked excellently, leaving my hair vibrant, shiny, and soft to the touch. I highly recommend it!
In summary, thanks to this product, my hair has transformed from dull to beautiful and shiny. It also has a cumulative effect.
I didn't see any effect at all, I ordered it with high hopes. I tried applying it twice already, but it didn't change anything with my hair. It was a waste of money.
The effect is zero. In fact, my hair even started falling out.
The result - zero. My hair doesn't shine, whether I used it or listened to the radio.
I have doubts about the authenticity of the product, as I bought it twice from a foreign marketplace and it worked well, giving my hair a shiny and smooth look. However, when I decided to buy it here, it had no effect despite testing it four times.
Furthermore, the sticker on top of the batch code indicates 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 were written before this situation?
I was pleasantly surprised by this product! I went from being a brunette to a blonde after many hair lightening treatments, and my hair became very dry and damaged. After using Olaplex (I only did it three times), my hair noticeably became stronger, more resilient, and healthier. I apply it to wet hair and leave it on for an hour, then rinse it out with shampoo and conditioner (Tresemme). The shine is guaranteed afterwards!
This is an excellent product, it really works. After bleaching my hair using the Airtech technique, I had a lot of short, dry, and frizzy hairs sticking out. I thought there was no hope for them, but this product made them come back to life, and now my hair looks consistently attractive. I will definitely order more.
This is an excellent product. I have ordered it multiple times and I am very satisfied with the results. My hair looks shiny, moisturized, and well-groomed.
I deeply regret purchasing this product.
This is currently the only product that allows 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 manage to grow. After that, I switched to regular products and over time, my hair became low-quality again. So, I highly recommend it to everyone. I have blonde, porous, and curly hair, and it works wonders for me! I also want to try their shampoo and mask.
Well, the smell 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.
I didn't notice any effect in terms of defining curls or anything else.
Oh, and the jar looks nice in the bathroom, until you realize that with the shape of the jar and the thickness of the product, you have to constantly keep it upside down once there's only half of it left.
I apply the product on wet hair at night and rinse it off in the morning while washing my hair with shampoo.
And voila, my hair is moisturized and shiny.
It's a good product.
The number 1 works super efficiently.
I have been watching videos for over a year on how people restore the shape of their curls, which have become almost unnoticeable waves due to sulfates, bleaching, 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 hair structure 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, never bleaching or using straighteners, so I thought there was nothing to restore...
But apparently, there is something! I finally noticed that it was mentioned in all those videos and decided to buy it. I wasn't expecting miracles, but they started happening after the very first use! My hair started holding curls even without cream or gel, which hadn't happened for years. Now, on the third day using only the leave-in conditioner, my hair is still quite curly, not just barely wavy like before Olaplex. Plus, my hair feels very silky and shiny. It's amazing! I have only tried it once so far, but I'm already pleasantly surprised.
Love at first use, and ever since it has always been on my shelf. It is indispensable for taking care of blond hair. It fills in porous strands, making them smooth, shiny, and voluminous. This perfector genuinely corrects the hair structure. You can never 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...result - zero
I do not recommend.
Apparently, as always, I am unique because this product is useless to me. Even if we assume that it has long-term effects and accumulative benefits, it still doesn't work. I tried leaving it on for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, even 2 hours, but it had no effect on my hair whatsoever. Not even a slight improvement on my thin, porous hair. I only managed to use it 7 times before it ran out, and I definitely won't buy it again or recommend it. I can't stand products that are overpriced and receive a lot of hype but deliver zero results. I'm giving one star solely to the store and their delivery service, which is always reliable.
This is an excellent product for maintaining the effect of a salon (or at-home) hair restoration system. After bleaching, my hair started to break. However, the restoration and Olaplex have saved my blonde hair, making it less fragile. The effect is cumulative.
For my dry, bleached, porous, and thick hair, this product is a lifesaver! I used it as instructed, and I find it strange to read negative reviews about unsuccessful experiences. This is not a DIY kitchen project; improvisation 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, the 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!
Keep it on for at least an hour! Then, it's not just about rinsing it off, but washing it with shampoo, and also using conditioner!
And when you go to the salon for coloring, make sure they use Olaplex too!
The product has a specific feature, and it lies in the fact that it contains non-cosmetic silicones and does not provide an immediate "wow" effect until the next wash! It deeply restores the hair by repairing the internal bonds. Just like you don't expect a "wow" effect from taking a single vitamin pill, right?
Here's my recipe, approved by a professional and tested on my over-processed blonde hair: apply a generous amount of the product to damp, towel-dried hair before bed, give it a quick blow dry, and comb it through for even distribution. In the morning, rinse it out using shampoo, mask, and conditioner to the maximum! Repeat this process once a week for a month and a half to achieve completely healthy hair. I only needed one 100ml bottle for this. Afterward, you can repeat the procedure either after exposing your hair to damaging factors or once a month.
P.S. Some comments are just...(((( Why would you write complaints about dry hair if you didn't bother reading the instructions, where there is no mention of a mask? Don't write nonsense if you haven't even read the description!
I am writing this review for girls who have tried this product and did not like the results. This is based on my personal experience. I tried this mask twice, using it as a salon treatment on my blonde hair, back when my hair was of poor quality. 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 it again at home, but this time correctly. It's important to note that #3 is not just 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.
Now, I have the full range of home care products and I am very pleased with them. My hair has grown, feels smooth to the touch, and the knots and messy appearance after a night's sleep are gone. It is also easy to comb them when wet. Give it a try, maybe it will help someone.
Reading reviews, I understand that everyone has their own preferences, and some people don't like it at all. But let me tell you about my experience. I have already purchased two jars of this product. I followed the instructions and I was very pleased with the results. My hair is thin, especially at the ends, but after rinsing, they came to life. There was no heaviness or the appearance of a dirty scalp. The ends don't look like hedgehogs. One time, I forgot to rinse it out because I had a lot of housework during the day, and the result was even better. Now I apply it overnight and rinse it off in the morning.
I also bought the number 5 treatment from this series. I use it after washing my hair for 10 minutes and then rinse it off. The effect is also good. This series suits me well. I have been a blonde for 18 years, so it's understandable that my ends are a bit damaged, but this product works.
This product is amazing, I bought it abroad. The effect is really great, my hair becomes very soft and shiny. But as I read all the comments, I am surprised by how many people use this product incorrectly: they use it after shampooing their hair, instead of conditioner, together with a hair mask, and so on. The correct way (which is also stated on the official Olaplex website) is to use this product BEFORE shampooing. Simply wet your hair thoroughly with water, squeeze out the excess with a towel, apply the product, then rinse it off with shampoo, and use conditioner/hair mask afterwards.
This product is useless. The color is blonde. It made my hair even worse, completely ruined it! I will never buy it again and I cannot recommend it.
I tried using a blonde hair dye, but unfortunately, it didn't work at all.
This product is very economical, it lasts me for three months. I alternate it with Kerastase, and it is exactly what I need for lightened hair.
