OlaplexReviews of olaplex.com

I purchased the 4 and 4 shampoo and conditioner and after using the first few times my fine bleached hair felt healthy and thick. Then after using a few more times my hair started to feel extremely dry and limp. I even had my ends trimmed but it continued to become dryer and lifeless. Discontinued use after 8 or 9 applications. I'm very disappointed and hope I can correct this extreme dryness due to Olaplex. I'm actually, very angry!!!

My mother bought for her , me and my sister Olaplex shampoo&conditioner the 2000 ml . Both of them were £120 … what can I say … it’s just awful . My hair is full of dandruff and feels dry … looks terrible 🤯 is not worth the money so don’t buy it . I’m really disappointed because my hairstylist recommended me this product .

I have bleached my hair (roots only) for over 20 years, along with straightening etc. I have thick dry curly hair and have always put oils etc on and never had any problems with breakage. I decided to use Olaplex for the first time during lockdown, I used this from around May 2020 to September 2020. By the time I booked my first hair app in October 2020 - since Feb 2020 due to lockdown, my hair had all broken off! My hair was previously down to just above my elbows and it had all broke off to my neck, with many parts being about a 2-3 inches long from my scalp. I had to use bobby pins all over to put it back as this was no style to wear down!! Nor could I do 2 french plaits either sides. With my lockdown brown roots too, most of the hair had around 1cm to an inch or 2 of blonde on the ends. Absolutely devastating having to wear wigs and buy extensions that were completely visible due to all the short parts of hair, thankfully winter helped hide it under a hat. It is now July 2021 and I can only just almost put most of it back in to a bobble with a couple of bobby pins but not a high pony and the front bits fall out to look like a grown out fringe. I went straight in listening to the hype and brought products 3,4,5,6 & 7. I did not straighten my hair often and never blow dry my hair anyway. My hair did feel more dry than usual but I read everywhere online that it is not a conditioning treatment to make your hair feel soft but a repair. I must have got thru number 7 ASAP as I ended up buying 3 bottles, putting oil in every day because it was dry. I regret ever ever ever buying these and especially in one go at such a price. Since speaking with hair dressers since they have told me that they’ve heard this a lot from people with bleached hair, I did lots of research before buying this product too reading magazines reviews and looking on their website etc, due to the cost of it. Nowhere, back then, did I read anyone’s hair had all broken off, now I’m reading it a lot more. Please reconsider buying this product if you have dry bleached hair.

Olaplex shampoo and conditioner make my scalp extremely dry and itchy. I have experimented by stopping use of them and my scalp clears then as soon as I use either product again my scalp becomes super dry and itchy again. I read a lot of reviews around the Internet of people saying the same. If your scalp is at all sensitive I would avoid at all costs.

I’m writing this review as I don’t want anyone to go through what I experienced when I used this. I used 0 followed by 3 and I started to wheeze and knew I was having an allergic reaction so washed off as soo as possible. 0 is toxic and even having it on my hands whilst trying to put in my hair made them irritated. How can that then be good for your hair? After using my hair is in the worst condition I have ever seen - it’s looks like straw and broken and frazzled. I am so devastated but hoping that if I slaver some conditioner on it overnight it may re recover- my skin too looks awful and irritated. So there’s only one thing to do now but to chuck it all the bin and hope that by writing this review I can prevent someone else from wrecking their hair - learnt a lesson - to go for natural rather than chemicals!

I used Olaplex no 3 to improve the condition of my hair, sadly it’s done the complete opposite and half of my half has fallen out a couple of inches from the root. After speaking to my hairdresser this can often happen with Olaplex on fine coloured hair. It is something to do with the hairs reaction to the build up of the synthetic proteins in the product. Not many people know about this and I don’t want this to happen to anyone else if it can be avoided. I will now be trying to grow my hair back for the next year or two. Please do not use if you have my hair type!

I don't care if it does anything for my hair and I won't know because I had to wash it out immediately. It smells awful! It's giving me a headache. It smells like a stripper. It's a petrochemical fragrance nightmare! I'm so mad I spent good money on this crap. Use natural fragrance or none at all. This stuff is nasty and toxic.

Honestly it depends on the person. Avoid. I had coloured and bleached hair and wanted something to save my hair but after 3 weeks of using the product my hair is half as thick, snapping off near the root and I’ve had substantial hair loss. I don’t recommend it. No idea what’s going on with it, but I wouldn’t spend this much money on this product. I use NAK which is still a pro brand and I’ve never had an issue. My hair is more damaged after Olaplex now then it even was even after bleaching roots.
