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.
What does Olaplex 3 do?
Olaplex No.3 is a pre-shampoo perfecting treatment that nourishes all hair types, including coloured and chemically treated. Thanks to innovative Bond Building Technology®, the formula protects against breakage, brittleness and dullness, restoring the hair’s look and feel with a high-shine finish.

Fantastic!!
I don’t even know where to start but my hair hasn’t been the same since I started using this gem!! I have 3b/3c bleached hair & to be honest I noticed a difference the 1st time I used it. My once dry bleached ends are now so smooth & I get feels my stronger! I used the conditioner, no3, no6 and no7 when I have my wash days. Believe me when I say a little goes a long way, Olaplex has saved my hair!

Check instructions for use
I've only used twice, my hair certainly feels very soft, I'm not sure the condition has improved yet, but it's early days. I will continue to use and will buy a second bottle after I've had a much needed post-lockdown cut! I realised this morning I haven't quite been been using it correctly. You're meant to wet hair then add the Olaplex, leave for 10 mins (although I left overnight), then rinse, shampoo and condition. I have been shampooing just before using Olaplex.

Great results every time
If I could only use one treatment on my hair, it would be Olaplex 3. I’m a curly girl and we are prone to hair being more prone to breakage. Olaplex strengthens my hair visibly and leaves my locks looking beautiful. I gained an even deeper love for it during lockdown when I couldn’t get to my hairdresser, Olaplex kept my hair healthy and strong

Works like magic!
I had been recommended this by a good friend and read the reviews which were, in the majority, very good. Considering all of the good reviews and that people claimed this product gave genuine results I felt it was reasonably priced. I have bleached my hair for a few years now and only recently had some of my hair broken on the top layer. After one application, my hair genuinely was smoother, thicker and silkier. I have used this now four times in the last two weeks and I can honestly say I can see such a good difference in my hair that it prompted me to buy the Olaplex shampoo and conditioner. The bonds in my hair do seem to have improved. I only wish you could order a larger ml! Great product.

Olaplex 3
I was recommended this product by a lovely curly girl Group on FB and they weren’t wrong. This gives my hair strength and makes it glossy! Highly recommend! Plus you can carry on the olaplex journey at your salon too!

Easy
This is more convenient than a hair mask after shampoo. I just put this on my damp hair and can do the ironing, hoovering and such while this soaks in. Feels noticable softer after washing even if you don't use the rest of the Olaplex range. I'm on my second bottle and got my mum using it too! Note: leave this on overnight and wash it out in the morning... just wow
