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.

Great Product
Heard good things about this product for a while so when it was on offer I decided to try it. Within the 1st wash results were clear - shiny, healthier hair. I even got compliments and people asking what I'd done different. Will definitely buy again!

Fab product
I’ve used this twice so far and it makes my hair feel really soft and strong even after a short amount of time. I’ve used it with no. 0 and they work well together

Amazing
I recently went through with a professional blonde balayage, I'm not great when it comes to having bleach as years ago my hair dropped out. Had my balayage taken from a level 3 to a honey blonde but my hair was damaged, split ends, tangled and was getting shorter. I've always wanted to try olaplex so now was my chance, used treatment number 3 left on my hair for around 4 hours and wow. My hair is so much shinier, easier to brush, my hair is naturally curly so this product helps with lack of moisture I would highly recommend for any hair type and certainly for bleached hair. The small bottle has lasted for 4 rounds and I haven't used it lightly I've just ordered my 2nd bottle and will continue to use it and very excited to try the other options from olaplex.

Worked on curly chemical damaged hair
Amazing product. After chimcally curling my hair it was limp, frazzled and nothing worked until I tried this product. It brought my curls back my hair was strong and stopped breakages. Phew, no need to chop it off and start again.

LIFE SAVER!
I'm not a natural blonde, and this is the only product that keeps my hair soft and silky. I know it's pricey for such a small bottle but after one use I have new hair! If you have any sort of damage, this will do the trick. Can't wait to try the rest of the range.

Definitely worthwhile
Love this product, always feels like I’ve just left the salon when I use it. I wet all my hair with the shower (no shampoo/conditioner) towel dry, apply a generous amount to my mid lengths and ends, wrap a towel around my head and leave for at least 30 mins, I usually do an hour! Gorgeous full of life hair!

Massive difference
First time I used these Olaplex products I was amazed!! My hair was incredibly damaged due to lockdown bleaching and was snapping off everywhere, I had to have a lot cut off but even then it still was a mess. Then my hairdresser gave me samples of Olaplex and I’ve not looked back! Incredible product and is making a massive difference to the health and feel of my hair. 5 stars!!!

Damaged hair savior
A couple years ago, after I had highligths on my really long hair, they seemed to be very dry and damaged and hard to manage. Olaplex No.3 was my savior, it gave more healthy look and hydration, I was very pleased. Since then I use it every now and then when my hair starts to look like lacking hydration.
