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.

Product not the same since the founder sold to another company
Olaplex was amazing when it first come out but since the founder sold it to another corporation the formulation changed that’s when I noticed it was doing more harm to my hair than good. Ive used no3 and many other Olaplex products over the years but it was drying my hair out and it was snapping off. I’ve heard this becoming very a common situation with many other people. The good reputation Olaplex has always had is changing to bad. Such a shame as it was brilliant product but unfortunately it’s not the same anymore and I can’t recommend it.

Great mask
Perfect if working from home or out on the run with a low bun. Hair feels noticeably hydrated after. I have dry blonde hair and this always helps!

Great product!
I have used this a couple of times now and I think it’s great. I keep on as long as possible and only use on the ends of my hair. Would recommend!

It does what it says
Good trusted product which I will come back to every few months. It does bring life back to my hair when it’s feeling a little dry brittle and dull. It does reduce my split ends and makes my hair easier to manage.

A must have in your Olaplex kit
Bought this time and time again! You do need to apply the product liberally so may only get 2-3 uses out of it if you had mid length hair. It does dry and look a bit matte after a while so I have left this on all day up in a bobble and does not look too obvious Leaves your hair really silky and nourished
