An at-home treatment to repair and care for your Hair with Olaplex No.3PLUS
Does your hair feel like it needs a repairing treatment, but you don’t have time to go to the hairdresser? Hair goes through a lot during the day, which can result in damaged, lifeless hair. Of course, you can go to the hairdresser for a treatment to repair your hair, but you may not always have the time or money for that. With Olaplex No.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment you can still care for and repair your hair, right from home. Ideal! In this blog, we’ll tell you what the product is and what it does for your hair.
What is Olaplex?
Maybe you’re reading this and thinking, what exactly is Olaplex and why is it such a hugely popular brand? I’ll explain! Olaplex is a product that helps permanently repair damaged hair. Hair can be damaged by various external factors. This can happen, for example, from dyeing your hair, heat tools, the sun, swimming in chlorinated or seawater, etc. So damaged hair is something that happens quickly and often, and it can make your hair look less healthy and shiny. Olaplex products are the perfect solution for damaged hair and provide immediate repair.
Olaplex’s formula contains a patented active ingredient that works at the molecular level to seek out broken bonds in the hair caused by chemical and heat damage. Using Olaplex repairs broken disulfide bonds, helping to restore the hair.
The Olaplex range consists of 9 products, each associated with a number. The products range from 0 to 8. In this blog, we’ll tell you all about Olaplex No.3PLUS, but we’ll briefly explain what the other Olaplex products can do for you. The great thing about Olaplex products is that you can use them together, but also as additions to your current routine. For example, add No.3PLUS to your current routine for extra repair, shine, and care.

What is the Olaplex No.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment?
The Olaplex No.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment is designed to repair, protect, and strengthen hair. The product quickly became a global bestseller because users were very happy with it and saw visible results. The reason this product is so popular is that it’s for at-home use, reduces hair breakage, and visibly strengthens the hair. The hair perfector is an at-home treatment that repairs damaged hair. Styling, blow-drying, and dyeing your hair, among other things, damages it and continually breaks the disulfide bonds in the hair.
Olaplex No.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment provides extra care and repair for your hair, so it’s different from a conditioner. When you apply the product to your hair and leave it in to absorb, your hair takes in the ingredients, so you don’t wash away the product’s beneficial properties when you shampoo.
This product improves the overall appearance and texture of damaged hair by repairing it. Do you regularly go to the hairdresser to color or bleach your hair, for example? Or do you like to style your hair with a curling or flat iron? Then this product is ideal for keeping your hair healthy and strong between salon visits, or for helping it recover from heat styling tools.
Damaged hair can appear frizzy, static, dull, and lifeless. This makes it less manageable and can feel unpleasant. To be fair, how great does it feel to have shiny, healthy hair?! I believe that every woman (or man with longer hair) who wants radiant, healthy hair should have the Olaplex No.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment in their cupboard!
How do you use Olaplex No.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment?
Of course, it’s important to know how to use this product. Once you’ve finally got your hands on it, use it once a week. If you feel your hair is extremely damaged, for example, from bleaching, it’s recommended to use it several times a week (2/3 times).
Apply it to damp hair from the roots to the ends and leave it on for at least 15 minutes. So first wet your hair under the tap, apply the product, and wrap a towel around your hair to help it work. With treatments, I always like to give them enough time to penetrate the hair, so I always choose to allow as much time as possible. There’s no problem with leaving it on for longer, either.
Once a week, I try to set aside some me-time to relax. For me, relaxing means a hair mask, a face mask, and putting on my favorite show. No.3PLUS is perfect for these moments. You don’t need to watch the processing time, as long as you leave it on for more than 15 minutes. You can even apply it before going to bed and leave it on overnight. This provides a deeper treatment.
Once the product has finished processing, it’s time to rinse it out! This is a particularly important step with this product: your hair must always be washed with shampoo afterward. Of course, for the best results, we recommend using Olaplex No. 4 & 5!
Olaplex bun?
Have you perhaps already seen it on TikTok? A hairstyle that’s trendy and nourishing? You can create it with this magical Olaplex product. We’ve all seen it: the sleek bun. Pull your hair tightly back and tie it into a bun. Creating a sleek bun with Olaplex No.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment helps the product work better. If you gather all your hair into a bun, it will work better than if you leave your hair loose. Your hair will stay warmer and more humid in the bun. The warmth opens the outer layer of your hair, allowing the treatment to penetrate more deeply. So this can only result in gorgeous hair.
How do you create the Olaplex bun?
If you want to wear this Olaplex bun, first wash your hair as usual. Apply Olaplex No.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment to wet hair. Pull all your hair back and tie it into a bun. Voila, there’s your sleek bun! Nourishing and trendy—we love it!
Use Olaplex No. 0 with No.3PLUS?
Earlier in this blog, you read that there’s also an Olaplex No. 0. No. 0 enhances the effect of No.3PLUS. It’s a repairing booster that is deeply absorbed into the hair. No. 0 can be used on its own, but it’s designed as a primer to create a golden combo with No.3PLUS for intensive repair.
To use this duo, follow these steps. First, divide your hair into small sections and apply No. 0 until it’s fully absorbed. Your hair should be damp, but it doesn’t need to be soaking wet. Otherwise, you’ll use too much product, which would be a waste! Then leave No. 0 on for 10 minutes. After those 10 minutes, apply No.3PLUS by distributing the product through your hair and combing it through. Then leave it on for at least 10 minutes. After the processing time, rinse the products out with shampoo and conditioner.
The result of this golden combo, I mean, is truly amazing! Your hair looks beautiful again and will shine. And I do think that shiny hair also makes you shine.
