When it comes to hair care, NewBeauty readers are in the know, and there’s one brand that stands out from the crowd, especially when good hair days are a non-negotiable. In our recent survey of more than 1,500 readers, an impressive 70 percent of respondents reported having tried this brand, while 50 percent said they use a bond treatment regularly. As you’ll read in the real reviews below, Olaplex has captured the hearts (and hair) of our readers—and for good reason.
One 51-year-old reader enthusiastically shared, “Hands down best repair for healthy, smooth, easy-to-style hair. These products give major hair confidence!” This sentiment of increased confidence seems to be a common thread among Olaplex users.
The brand’s comprehensive range of products is a major selling point for many. A 38-year-old reader shares, “[I] love the way the products all work together and leave my hair looking healthier, shiny and more manageable. I notice when I’m not using the shampoo and conditioner.”
For those with fine hair, finding the right products can be a challenge. However, a 41-year-old reader with fine, long hair reports, “This shampoo leaves my scalp feeling clean, my hair actually has volume and bounce.” This versatility across different hair types adds to Olaplex’s appeal.
The brand seems to work wonders for all age groups, as a 75-year-old reader simply states, “The shampoo leaves my hair shiny and clean. The conditioner smooths out my hair.” Meanwhile, a 24-year-old shares, “Olaplex has truly helped to repair my damaged hair. I use No. 3, 4, 5, and 7. These combined leave my hair feeling soft and strong. I also like how No. 7 has heat protection built in.”
Olaplex’s bond-maintenance products are particularly popular. A 61-year-old reader raves, “I use Olaplex No. 4 and Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner and I love them. My color stays true, my hair is soft and manageable and I am able to decrease the frequency I wash my hair to every 4-5 days (I used to have to wash every day with other brands).”
The brand even proves beneficial for those dealing with postpartum hair changes. A 42-year-old reader shares, “I’m currently postpartum and feel these products have helped keep my hair healthy and in good condition. My hair is thicker and growing.”
From repairing damage to maintaining color and adding volume, Olaplex offers solutions for a wide range of hair concerns. Whether you’re dealing with damage, looking to maintain your color, or simply want to boost your hair’s overall health and appearance, Olaplex might just be the brand to try.
