The BEST and WORST of OLAPLEX | All Olaplex Products Ranked!

[@Olaplex]

Thank you for your honest opinion. We appreciate this feedback!

[@GlamByKam]

Thank you! Love you guys! 💖

[@mh11182]

Appreciate the honest review. I agree with most of what you said. I just started using their shampoo so not sure if i like it yet, it does lather very nicely. 1&2 are a must. 6&7 combined work miracles to get rid of frizz in my hair. #3 isn’t strong enough for my hair.

[@katrinakee726]

I tried the Olaplex conditioner and I agree with you. I use a wide tooth comb to comb out my damp hair after using a micro fiber towel. I had such a terrible time just combing my damp hair before trying the #7 bonding oil and #6 bond smoother. Those three products were extremely disappointing to me. While #6 was ok for my hair, I had to use copious amounts on my hair and not the recommended nickel sized amount the the hair care specialist recommended. I was also told that the #7 bonding oil would help the bond smoother "latch onto" my hair better, but I noticed nothing. Yes, I also used quite a bit of the oil instead of the recommended 1-2 drops of it on my hair. Needless to say, I saw no added shine, my hair looked even more frizzy than usual and felt a bit like straw. I will purchase the professional grade 4 in 1 moisture mask and see if this helps my hair. Otherwise, the local store brand conditioners helps my hair become smoother and more silk like in texture than the pricey Olaplex conditioner and oil does. I even ditched my regular hairdryer for the ceramic ionic hair dryers (yes they dry hair so quickly!) But for now, I am still fighting the Battle of the Frizz LOL!!! I am also looking into a leave in hair conditioner and a heat serum to combat the "rizzies." Do you have any recommendations that won't blow my budget? Olaplex is already doing that just fine. I have to add that I gave up on using curling irons, hot rollers, etc. years ago, and occasionally use a flat iron ( once or twice a year). I only use a hair dryer. I don't dye my hair or anything. I just want nice smooth straight hair. No curls. But all I have is a big poof ball of hair on my head. :(

[@GlamByKam]

Have you tried Color Wow Dream Coat? It's my go-to for frizz! Also, Drybar Liquid Glass is a comparable product.

[@charleskorecky2210]

I'm curious did you buy your products from an authorized olaplex seller? I have heard there are lots of counterfeit products around.....even from walmart!

[@emm8357]

@@GlamByKam yes, Dream Coat is *amazing*! It’s one of my “buy back ups of back ups” products. Also agree with you on 6. I mix it with a few drops of 7. Ive just discovered 4C and I’m honestly blown away. I have hard water so I get mineral and product build up and 4C is honestly life changing 😆 I also recommend that people get the 2 in a salon size if they possibly can because it’s even more amazing than 3 and works out cheaper per ml.

[@raaziaisaac2798]

@katrina. Make sure before styling use a leave in conditioner. Makes a huge difference

[@UNREDACTEDTRUTH]

@@charleskorecky2210 EXACTLY what I've been thinking! I LOVE Olaplex- but a lot of ppl say their hair falls out... I wonder if it's from counterfeit products on Amazon, etc!

[@106andie]

I love no 6 and no 7 along with no 3, However using No 6 and 7 to air dry my naturally curly hair doesn’t really do anything for my frizz but I love it for blow drying.

[@kstefi]

Do you know that only no. 0-3 are CGM-friendly products? In case if it's important for you. ☺️

[@karencleveland6473]

I just used the Olaplex NO 6 Bond Smoother for the 1st time this morning and OMG, I'm obsessed!! My hair never felt better!! If you are on the fence about this product, GET IT!!!

[@GlamByKam]

Yes, this one makes my hair feel instantly better!

[@lexijones8019]

I liked it but for my fine hair just a tad bit heavy. Love nO7

[@karencleveland6473]

@@lexijones8019 I have very fine thin hair and I use just a pea size amount and it works well.

[@AliviaDeHavilland]

I could not figure out why it is impossible to brush out my hair after a shower I use 4 5 and 8. Thanks so much I now use #4 and Karseell, what a difference in my hair, after a few days I add Moroccan Oil. Just seeing my hair shine and feeling light is a bonus, especially the results from Karseell. THanks so much Kam

[@justforcommenting2804]

I had completely fried my hair. It was falling out and breaking off just from running my fingers through it. I purchased the No. 8 and No. 7 in December and my hair started getting softer and dried quicker (it was shoulder length and used to take almost six hours) I still had to cut a lot of hair off but for the newer hair that had suffered some heat damage but wasn’t beyond repair, it was great. My ends did look more sleek and my hair overall is tremendously softer. It did take several months to see any sort of difference, but it was worth it. I didn’t repurchase the hair mask, but I could see myself repurchasing the oil. That one small bottle has also lasted me almost a year. I have thick hair so I use about four drops and i oil my ends every night, but usually alternate between No. 7 and a cheap argan oil from target lol.

[@GodzillauniverseYT]

I really really love Olaplex for my fine blonde hair. For 2 years. All of it . But I wouldnt purchase 0 again. And I Completely agree about the No 4. 💖

[@sal3579]

So...if No.5 is not recommended then which conditioner do you recommend then?

[@alyaa320]

Thank you for your review! I just used no. 6 and I'm so excited for the results 😍😍

[@artsyfartsyme]

Wow. I guess everyone is different. I don’t like the shampoo and basic conditioner. But literally everything else they make, I adore! Especially the mask and olaplex 0 and #3!

[@felicialee9900]

Great review! That is because it's your honest opinion. Some reviewers are probably loathe to give any criticism due to either being sponsored or hoping to be one day. Also, since you actually do have fine, thin hair the review is more relevant for many of us. #3 does work on my virgin hair. I have totally virgin hair (don't even use heat). But that is after decades of abuse. My hair is super fine like yours. I have a little more of it, and that is probably due to it being virgin. Mostly where I am seeing the most benefit is at the ends. They are more 'chunky' vs. 'wispy.'

[@GlamByKam]

This warms my heart!! I want nothing but the best for my Kam Fam ❤️ I love the way you describe it as "chunky" vs "wispy"! I've tried calling them "clumped" ends too lol. Thank you for letting me know that the No 3 works on your virgin hair, I'm so glad!

[@lina6325]

@@GlamByKam I can report the same. I also have virgin hair and oh my god, it's so soft and silky now, I use it once a week

[@mistysstudio87]

I appreciate your opinion. This line is primarily for “repairing the hair”. In other words, it is BEST for the hair. You have to know how to use them, paired with all the others. The #5 may not allow the slipping through your hair because the shampoo should have cleansed the build up. The #7 is best used for heat. It’s all extremely concentrated. A quarter-size of shampoo is A TON! As a stylist/instructor for 30 years, I just hate to rinse it down the drain because your using too much. The #3 is the same exact product as #2. The #1 & #2 are packaged and labeled for salon use only. A client shouldn’t have the #1 at home. It’s commonly mis-used. Enjoy!

[@roxanaluca5274]

I have 1, 2, 4 and 6 at home. I love it! xo. I also have the Color WOW Dream Coat, which is the holly grail for frizzy hair, hands down! I also use the Kérastase Nutritive Cream Magistralea and the Protein Recharging Leave-In Treatment by RATED GREEN which are absolutely amazing for dehydrated and damaged hair. These are my absolute favorite hair products.

[@AFistOcat]

So Kam, you are pretty amazing, thank you SO MUCH FOR THIS REVIEW. Honestly, regarding the Olaplex Condidtioner, I seriously thought I was taking crazy pills, because it gets pushed by all hair stylists, but I never felt like it was doing the job of a conditioner. My hair didn't feel softer, or even really conditioned after I used it. Same with the No. 0. I couldn't really tell the difference in using it with the No. 3 either. I have dark brown hair, that has been bleached and is now pink, so my hair is definitely damaged. I am going to look into your Kerastase masks - will def keep using the No. 3 from Olaplex as well, but yeah I'm with you on the conditioner and No.0 Spray-in boost. Thank you again for the DL on these!

[@monikaz7484]

You look beautiful. I used Olaplex nr 3 but I didn't want to wait some minutes to wash it out, so I'm using Olaplex nr 6 and am very happy with. I use always kerastase shampoo and kerastase oil. Now I bleached my hair again (I colored purple and didn't want any more) and bought kerastase products for blond hair. I'm going on to try redken conditioner.

[@daisysheridan5086]

Thanks for taking the time to rate these products. Do you recommend using # 3 BEFORE shampooing ? I heard on another video to use it straight up (before shampooing) and without # 0 he also agreed zero was useless.

[@xoxoRachelZegerSuperfan]

I shampoo, then use 0 then 3, then shampoo again and condition. I personally noticed quite a difference when I use 0 with 3 versus just using 3

[@iewutake]

I use 0 and 3 on unwashed hair. Works the best for me personally. Saved my hair

[@franlatzke6787]

New to Olaplex; what do you suggest for hair that is not damaged at all? Need a good maintenance, everyday shampoo and conditioner.

Hi. I just saw your videos for the first time it's all I've done all morning. How fun. You do all the work for me. I am almost 70 years old.. My hair has always been very dry and frizzy. The top of my hair is always short just because it breaks. I recently got so frustrated I cut it almost shoulder length. I purchased all applax not too long ago but I only got the shampoo and the conditioner. After watching your video I am buying 1,2,3 and 6. I also believe that a keratin hair treatment Will benefit my hair. Please tell me what treatment to purchase. Also what shampoo do I use before the treatment? I do use the olaplex shampoo but what conditioner do you suggest? Like I said I have old dry brittle damaged Hair.. Thank you so much in advance. I love your videos.

[@Mari-fe7wu]

Hi girl! I'm a little confuse. They are recommending to spray # 0 and put on top #3 to be more effective. What can you recomend me?

[@petraboontjes4703]

Thank you for explaning so clearly.....In The Netherlands it is hard to find the right info about the products...

[@twoleftfeet9626]

The olaplex shampoo is VERY heavy. I have thick hair and it weighed it down a lot. Which is hard to do in my hair. I only used a very conservative amount. I much prefer Redken extreme shampoo. I used Olaplex number 2 once per week for 8 months and all it did was made me shed a tonne of hair! I used it appropriately. The minute I stopped using Olaplex, the shedding stopped. My hair is bleached professionally. I am licensed so am able to access professional products. However, the Olaplex number 6 styling creme is excellent. The number 7 oil is only really for fine hair. THe moroccnaoil is far better for thicker hair. The olaplex 4x4 conditioning mask is also excellent (professional product). The best thing I ever did for my hair was using the Pureology leave in conditioner before blowdrying. That did wonders for the condition of my hair

[@rpgandchill]

Kam, what would you recommend in place of No. 5 in terms of hair masks?

[@lavayuki]

I found the same with Olaplex 8, it is very very light. I expected something more think like no 6. I use 3 which I think is the best and the main product worth buying, and I buy 6 and 7 and mix them together for a nice blow dry with heat protection. I find most hair oils too heavy as I have very short black hair

I purchased Olaplex 3 and can't wait to try it out. I was wondering if you have tried Authentic Beauty Concept shampoo and conditioner before, and if you did, what are your thoughts on them.

[@ccMomOfJays]

How did u Ike the #3

[@pebkit6763]

I don't agree. I have natural salt & pepper hair. I used the #0 with #3, then shampooed with #4 & conditioned with #8. I used a little bit of #6 with a couple of drops of #7 mixed in with #6 as my styling product, and my hair was completely transformed. Super soft and shiny, like when I was young. I would only use all of these steps once a month. For all other washings, #4 & #5 and then #6 & #7. All of Olaplex's products work phenomenally on me. I have not tried #9 yet. I also use #1 & #2 occasionally. I will never stop using these products!

Really? No 3 worked on thin hair?I'm having thin hair issues too but currently I can't buy more than one olaplex product some are saying no 3 doesn't work that well without no 0.Is taht true?I also want the magic of no 3 but purchasing the both is not possible rn😭😭😭

[@morelandmi1048]

@@f.a.i7135 maybe No 0 enhances the effect of No 3, but I used only No 3 and here's what I'll say: it should be applied to wet, towel-dried hair for 2 hours, and then washed off with shampoo. Because if you use No 3 as a mask after washing your hair, your hair will become stiff and stick out around your head. But Olaplex really make hair healthier, not just visually good looking

[@kazabena]

Heya, thanks for the honest video! I was just wondering what conditioner you use when you use the Olaplex shampoo?

[@jeanbrin6912]

Just starting with olaplex and loved your honest opinions. I want the product for when on vacation and the weather is very humid , which makes my hair a frizz ball. So I thought no. 6 and 9 would be the best . Any opinions??? Thank you

[@GlamByKam]

No 9 smooths the heck out of my hair, so I'd probably choose that one. Have you tried Color Wow Dream Coat? It's hands down the best for humidity! I have a whole video on it.

[@legacy634]

Thank you for this great Olaplex review! Florida frizz ball here. I've been using Olaplex 6 for a couple of months now and love it!

It is beautiful and looks so natural! Thanks again!

[@Kit32991]

I was thnking of getting no 3 no 4 and no 8 but now Im not so sure about no8... what would you recommend as a mask or conditioner after shampoo? for dry, split end, damaged hair (I woudnt say its extremaly damaged) but after washing with normal shampoo, and brushing I do get hair falling out more then I would like

[@harkomalkaur1180]

Color Wow Dream Coat is great for frizz, it's almost like a mini keratin treatment. I'll link the video I did on it in the description box!

[@staceyo1723]

So surprised. Number 6 is my least favorite! It makes my hair so tangly and yucky even with very little product. I’ve given my backups away.

[@GlamByKam]

I do prefer to follow up No 6 with either No 7 or another oil for extra smoothness. My guess is it doesn't have too many silicones in it. But you do need the teensiest amount, I've barely put a dent in my bottle lol

[@lexijones8019]

I wish I could get a hold of the 1/2 myself. How did you do that? By the way I love 3, but 8 was just average to me. Not bad- but average.

Are you sure number 6 is a heat protectant? My hair dresser told me it isn't... it was my favourite until I found that out

[@GlamByKam]

No 6 has "unrated" heat protection. It won't protect from anything hotter than a blow dryer, which is about 140 F. But for blow drying it should be fine, I usually like to add a few drops of No 7 just in case.

[@boersmabutt6055]

I’m a stylist of 34 years and #6 you can let the hair dry until it’s almost 100% dry then add some heat with a round brush and it’s smooth as hell. It literally amazing. I blow dry at low heat but high air give a shot of it’s a ten split end mender and it’s perfection
