How To Properly Use Olaplex No. 3

This at-home treatment nourishes, repairs, and strengthens hair from the inside out…

Olaplex No. 3 is a popular hair treatment that is known for its ability to repair and strengthen damaged hair. It is a pre-shampoo treatment that is infused with patented Olaplex Bond Building technology, a technology that works by rebuilding the broken disulfide bonds in the hair, which are responsible for strength and elasticity.

Different from all other hair repair systems, Olaplex really struck gold with its formula, which is why people consistently rave about the benefits. Some of the benefits include: repairs and strengthens damaged hair, improves hair elasticity and shine, reduces breakage and split ends, protects hair from heat damage and chemical treatments, extends the life of colour-treated hair.

What makes the Olaplex system so universally beloved is that it is safe for all hair types and textures, including colour-treated, bleached, and damaged hair. It can be used once a week to maintain healthy hair, or more often if your hair is severely damaged.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to properly use Olaplex No. 3:

1. Dampen your hair with water and towel dry it thoroughly.
You don’t need to wash your hair first, but it should be damp. You can use Olaplex No. 3 on dry hair, but it will be more difficult to distribute evenly.

2. Apply a generous amount of Olaplex No. 3 to your hair.
Start at the roots and work your way down to the ends. Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly.

3. Leave Olaplex No. 3 on for at least 10 minutes.
The longer you leave it on, the more effective it will be. You can leave it on for up to 90 minutes, if desired.

4. Rinse Olaplex No. 3 out of your hair thoroughly.
Remember Olaplex No. 3 is not a leave-in treatment. Be sure to rinse it out thoroughly and then shampoo and condition your hair as usual.
