Product Details

OLAPLEX No.3 Hair Perfector is a best-selling at-home treatment that transforms dry, brittle, and damaged strands into healthier, stronger-looking hair. Powered by patented OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology™, this intensive formula penetrates deep to repair broken bonds caused by heat styling, colouring, chemical treatments, and daily stressors.

Unlike traditional conditioning masks, No.3 works from within to restore the hair’s internal structure, leaving it soft, smooth, and noticeably more resilient. With regular use, it improves shine, reduces split ends, and helps maintain colour vibrancy for salon-quality results at home.
