Olaplex

What Is OLAPLEX?

OLAPLEX is a professional hair care brand known for bond-building hair repair. Its range includes targeted treatments, shampoos, conditioners, masks, leave-ins, smoothing products, hair oil and styling products for damaged hair and a wide variety of additional hair needs.

OLAPLEX No.3PLUS for Damaged Hair

OLAPLEX No.3PLUS Hair Perfector is a pre-shampoo treatment for damaged hair. It is designed for damage associated with colouring, bleaching, chemical services, heat styling, brushing and everyday wear.

No.3PLUS is used before shampooing. Apply it to wet hair, leave it on for the directed three minutes, rinse, and then continue with shampoo and conditioner.

OLAPLEX No.4 & No.5 for Regular Hair Care

OLAPLEX No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner form the core regular cleansing and conditioning routine. They are useful when you want everyday moisture and bond-supporting hair care rather than a specialized purple, clarifying, fine-hair or curl shampoo.

OLAPLEX No.4 vs. No.4C

The names are similar, but these shampoos serve different purposes. No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo is intended for regular wash days, while No.4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo provides deeper cleansing when product residue, oil and buildup need to be removed.

OLAPLEX No.4P for Blonde Hair

No.4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo is the purple shampoo in the OLAPLEX range. It is designed for blonde, grey, highlighted and lightened hair when unwanted yellow or brassy tones are a concern.

OLAPLEX No.4FINE for Fine Hair

No.4FINE Bond Maintenance Shampoo is designed specifically for fine hair. Choose the FINE range when your hair needs bond-supporting care but you also want a routine suited to finer strands and lightweight volume.

OLAPLEX No.4CURL for Curly Hair

No.4CURL Bond Shaper Hydrating Curl Shampoo provides a curl-specific cleansing option within the OLAPLEX range. It is designed for curly and wavy hair when hydration, curl definition and maintaining the hair's structure are priorities.

OLAPLEX No.6 Bond Smoother

OLAPLEX No.6 Bond Smoother is a concentrated leave-in styling cream for smoothing, hydration and frizz control. It can be used on damp or dry hair and is particularly useful for dry, damaged, frizz-prone, colour-treated or difficult-to-manage hair.

OLAPLEX No.7 Bonding Oil

OLAPLEX No.7 Bonding Oil is a concentrated finishing oil for shine, softness, frizz control and heat protection. A small amount can be used on damp or dry hair before or after styling.

OLAPLEX No.9 Bond Protector Serum

OLAPLEX No.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum is a lightweight leave-in styling serum that can be incorporated before styling for protection and manageability.

How to Build an OLAPLEX Routine

You do not need every numbered OLAPLEX product. Start with the products that address your main concern. For a simple routine, use No.4 Shampoo and No.5 Conditioner. Add No.3PLUS when damage repair is a priority, or choose a specialized shampoo such as No.4P, No.4C, No.4FINE or No.4CURL when your hair has a more specific need.

Styling products such as No.6 Bond Smoother, No.7 Bonding Oil and No.9 Bond Protector Serum can then be added according to the smoothing, shine, heat protection and styling results you want.
