Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector

Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector is the bond-builder that invented the at-home treatment category. Applied to towel-dried hair, left for 10 minutes, washed out. Visible difference after 2 uses. Non-negotiable for anyone who colours or heat-styles.

"I'd been buying the wrong self-tan for three years. I found Glow, followed the Best Self Tan ranking, and the third one I tried was the one. Saved me weeks of guessing."

Common questions

How often should I use a hair mask?

Once weekly for maintenance. Twice weekly for chemically damaged hair.

Can I leave a hair mask on overnight?

Some are designed for overnight (Olaplex No. 0, Moroccanoil Intense). Most conditioners/weekly masks are not — excess leaves residue.

Does Olaplex really work?

Yes — peer-reviewed trials show measurable bond restoration. The category doesn't exist without it.
