OLAPLEX 3 - How To Use Olaplex No 3

I've heard so many great things about Olaplex 3 after recommending it to my clients for years, but I always send them out with tips on how to use Olaplex no 3. Some of them have asked about using Olaplex no 3 overnight, and others ask what to expect with Olaplex no 3 before and after. In this video I break dow exactly how to use Olaplex 3, and what your expectations should be for this product. I've seen some reviews that are based on using the product once, but the truth is....using a product once really doesn't tell you anything about a product. I have used Olaplex on over 5,000 clients at my award winning hair salon in Boston, and these are my thoughts. Watch my video to hear more.

As always, stay healthy and beautiful!

I used it once and i already notice the difference, and i want to make sure that i’m actually using it right !

I've been using Olaplex very sporadically and haven't been super happy with it. Your video was very helpful and encouraging. I plan on giving it another go and use it more often. Thanks!

[SecretSquirrrrel]

Wow a person that actully answers peoples questions, well done!!

[adur]

My hair was SO dull and my natural wave was weak. Hair was breaking. I used it once and good god I already see and feel a difference. I am so excited.

[ScarletVictor]

I love your explanation, straight and to the point. 😀❤️

Start with clean hair
Towel dry hair
Apply no. 3, wide tooth comb, apply shower cap, wait 10 mins.
Rinse

I used no.3 last night, it made my hair super smooth, I couldn’t tell the difference in my silk pillowcase and my hair until I lifted my hair off the pillow.

This morning; however, four inches at the end are so dry and looks like I just need to cut my losses. I’ve only had full highlights twice a year, last time I got my hair highlighted was before Halloween 2021.

I used no.3/4/5

Hi Megan. Great video. Very informative!!! I am trying Olaplex 3 for the first time. My color appointment is in two weeks. Would it be best to wait to do the application after the color, or does it make a difference? Thanks!

[rochellearivera]

Loved this video! I’m going to try this tonight!! What camera & lens do you use? Your quality is amazing!! 💟

[wendyvoye]

Do you do your regular conditioner before or skip it?

[maggiemoran]

I’m curious why a lot of reviews say it left their hair more dry than before. What could be happening there?

[PaytonMueller-fprf]

Should I shampoo before applying olaplex 3

[duaamehmood]

Hi, my hair is so frizzy, dry and damaged, i want to try no. 4 and 5, will they work without using 3?

[monicakumar]

Can you shampoo before using Olaplex no. 3, and after the usage just rinse it off with water and not shampoo after it’s usage ?

[luviey]

you said to shampoo + conditioner before applying opalex 3 and after as well but would that strip my scalp too much?

[rabeeamansoor]

how much amount of olaplex should be applied?

[wendyvoye]

Wait so you don't wash first you wash and condition after?

[roseysweden]

Can I use clarifying shampoo first and then olaplex no 3.?

[deepseatofucreature]

is it ok to blow dry after or is it better to let the hair dry naturaly? I used it today for the 1st time and I don´t see big difference yet but I can already feel my hair is softer to touch....I am curious about the results after I use it more
