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.

Hair repair perfection
I have been using this product for over two years now. My hair has grew in length and thickness, olaplex has completely changed my hair life. I couldn’t recommend this product enough, I also use this protecter combined with with the shampoo and conditioner. I advise everyone to have this product in their basket, 10/10 product.

So far so good!
After having to take my extensions out and live with my own hair in lockdown I was looking for something to improve It. I’ve only used it a couple of times but I’ve noticed how much smoother my hair feels! My hair breaks a lot around my face when I tie it up due to bleach highlights so I’m hoping it will stop this but time will tell!

Olaplex no 3
Lovely smell and really easy to apply! I use just now once a week and definitely noticing a big difference at the roots and mid lengths! My ends need a trim with lockdown stopping this so are still a bit dry but overall hair feeling so much softer

Nice so far
Really pleased so far and it def has made a difference to how my hair is feeling once washed and dried. No where near as dry but haven’t been using it long enough to see any growth yet. I had it in most of the day and was no problem at all. My hair combed through so much easier as well after I had washed it. This combined with Moroccan oil is a great match.

Perfect for coloured hair
I have very dry hair due to it being highlighted blonde. I put this on and left it overnight and washed it the next morning and the results were immediate, my hair was smooth, shiny and for once it wasn’t dry! Definitely recommend.

Changed the game !
I can’t get over this product! I’ve tried everything there is out there for my split ends but nothing helped. I smother this onto my damp hair for and let it sit for an hour - results are amazing !

Olaplex Always!
Been using this product for over 12months. Have Blonde highlights & toner every 8-weeks, so this helps to keep my hair strong once dyed. I use once a week - leave on for 15-20mins before shampooing - and then rinse before shampoo. Makes my hair smooth, less fly away and protects it. Bottle seems small but using once a week it lasts me at least 3-4 months. Wouldn’t be without this product.

Marvellous Olaplex
This is absolutely brilliant & really does strengthen the hair- I saturated my hair with it , the sat under my dryer for an hour, and when I had dried and conditioned my hair, it seemed much smoother and fuller than before, with no split ends. I will be buying it again.

5 out of 5
I have naturally dark hair that has been bleached at the ends so my hair is frazzled and dry. But after using olaplex 3 fortnightly you would never know. Because it’s quite expensive, I’ve tried out a few other leave in conditioners and hair masks, but always come back to this- it’s worth every penny!
