OLAPLEX No. 3 Hair Perfector is a restorative at-home treatment used before shampooing. The treatment is designed to repair damaged bonds in the hair, strengthen the hair from within, and reduce breakage.
The formula utilizes the well-known OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology and is suitable for all hair types and textures. Hair that has been damaged by, for example, coloring, bleaching, chemical treatments, heat, or mechanical stress can particularly benefit from regular use.
The hair fiber contains, among other things, disulfide bonds that contribute to the structure and strength of the hair. These bonds can become damaged. OLAPLEX No. 3 has been developed to reconnect broken disulfide bonds.
OLAPLEX No. 3 Hair Perfector is sometimes referred to as a hair mask, but that is technically not the correct product category. It is a restorative pre-shampoo treatment and not a conditioner or a traditional hydrating hair mask.
No. 3 is therefore used before shampoo and conditioner and must be rinsed out of the hair after the processing time.
OLAPLEX states that restorative results can be achieved after approximately 3 minutes and that maximum benefit is reached within 10 minutes. According to OLAPLEX, leaving it on longer or sleeping with it provides no additional benefit.
No. 3 can be used regularly as part of the hair care routine. When the hair needs more repair, the treatment can be applied more often than once a week.
For extra intensive care, the original No. 3 Hair Perfector can also be combined with OLAPLEX No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment .
