A few years ago, I started lightly dyeing my hair with highlights, and while the color looks great, I noticed it started feeling drier than usual. Looking for a remedy, I discovered that the Olaplex Hair Perfector No. 3 ($30) had received thousands of five-star reviews on both Amazon and Sephora. So many colorists and hairstylists I've worked with as a beauty editor have also sworn by the professional version of the product before, so I figured it might solve my hair woes. Now that I've been using it for awhile now, I can attest: it really works.
Once I decided to try it out, I hopped in the shower to wet my hair, and then followed the directions by applying a liberal amount of the product from the roots to tips of my towel-dried hair and waited 10 minutes. This product is meant to be used as a pre-shampoo treatment, so be sure to apply a generous amount while hair is damp. I then rinsed, washed, and conditioned my hair as normal and went to bed. When I woke up and my hair was dry, I was amazed by the results. Even after just one use, it feels healthier than it has in years and has incredible volume.
The brand recommends leaving it on for a minimum of 10 minutes before washing, but you can leave it on for longer if needed. Some hairstylists even recommend leaving the treatment on overnight before shampooing in the morning if your hair is extremely damaged. For best results, Olaplex recommends you use it once a week to keep damaged or color-treated hair looking healthy. I'm excited to incorporate this into my routine from here on out. So if you've been curious to try it out yourself, don't sleep on this product.
