The Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector is a best-selling pre-shampoo treatment powered by scientifically-proven Olaplex Bond Building Technology™. Enriched with a host of revolutionary actives, the high-performance formula helps to hydrate and visibly smooth hair, promoting a stronger-looking and more resilient appearance.
With a pH balance of 3.5-5, the weekly at-home treatment works to restore a satin-like shine and soft texture to dry, damaged hair. Simply comb the radiance-boosting Olaplex treatment through damp hair, allow it to work its magic for 10 minutes, and then follow with your usual wash routine. The hair appears visibly nourished, exudes a glossy sheen, and feels luxuriously smooth.
- Application: Apply generously to damp hair from scalp to ends until hair is thoroughly saturated. Leave on for a minimum of 10 minutes (or longer if desired). Rinse from hair. Cleanse with OLAPLEX Nº.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and OLAPLEX Nº.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner.
- Routine: Use once a week or 2-3 times a week for very damaged hair.
Pro Tip: Use OLAPLEX No.0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment before No.3 Hair Perfector™ as a two-part system.
- Original Bond Builder System: Patented technology that helps leave hair feeling stronger

How to use Olaplex 3
Designed to be used once weekly, distribute the pre-shampoo treatment onto damp hair before washing and comb through for even root-to-tip saturation. Leave it on for a minimum of ten minutes and a maximum of 90, depending on how damaged your hair is. Rinse, then follow with Olaplex No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner. Dry and style as usual with your favourite Olaplex products.
Can you leave Olaplex 3 on overnight?
It is not advised to leave Olaplex No.3 in the hair overnight, as the formula is intended to be rinsed out and followed by a shampoo cleanse. The brand suggests that just ten minutes is long enough to notice visible results.

Didn’t get the hype
To me, this just feels like a regular conditioner. Despite it being used in conjunction with other Olaplex products, I didn’t see anything difference. For the price I’m incredibly disappointed.

Life saver
I’ve dyed my hair a lot and tried all sorts of products on it, but this has definitely been a miracle for restoring strength and taming frizz and damage. I was actually expecting it to take longer to see results, but I noticed a huge difference already after the second wash. I do leave it on for hours, way longer than the recommended 10 minutes, since my hair is highly porous and I want it to absorb as much as possible. After the first use my hair felt a bit mushy and extremely thin, but with continued use it now feels thicker, healthier and much stronger. Breakage is also less visible, though I haven't quite got the shine back yet. I was torn between this and K18, but I wasn't ready to spend so much for only 15 ml. Plus, my hair is long and 100 ml of Olaplex lasts quite a while. I’ll definitely keep using this as a regular treatment, not just a last desperate fix.

Didn't do anything
It gave an impression of a "regular" conditioner. Nothing special.

Great product!
I love this product, I’ve bleached my hair a lot and this really saves it, especially the more fragile hairline. I also use it to smooth flyaways and it works really well, quite expensive though

Game changer
I have been using olaplex for the last month and wow ! You don’t need much , about the size of a 5p , lather in your hands then massage into your hair . Just the feel of the shampoo is luxurious. While it is a bit on the pricey side , you only need a small amount at a time so a bottle will last a long time - as well as using a great quality product. Since using this my hair is super soft and feels in the best condition it has ever been in .
