OLAPLEX is a haircare brand that started in the salon. Its Bond Building Technology repairs the broken bonds in damaged hair, for example after bleaching, coloring or heavy heat styling. The at-home line is numbered, from Nº. 0 to Nº. 10, and each number has a fixed place in your routine. At Olivida you'll find the complete at-home line, including the Fine variants for fine hair and the Blonde Enhancer products for blonde and grey hair.
With OLAPLEX, it's not about using as many numbers as possible, but the right three. Our most common advice: use Nº. 3 as a weekly treatment, with Nº. 4 and Nº. 5 as your shampoo and conditioner. If your hair is bleached or chemically treated, apply Nº. 0 before Nº. 3. If your hair is fine, choose the Fine variants of Nº. 4 and Nº. 5, or it may fall flat. Nº. 6, Nº. 7 and Nº. 9 are for styling and protection; add those once the basics are in place.
A common mistake is leaving Nº. 3 in for too short a time: ten minutes is the minimum. It also goes on damp hair before you wash, not after. If you want to try it out, start with the Discovery Kit. Questions about your hair? Ask us via chat or our contact page.
| Number | What it is | When |
|---|---|---|
| Nº. 0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment | A pre-treatment for dry hair that boosts how Nº. 3 works | Before Nº. 3, on dry hair |
| Nº. 3 Hair Perfector (100 and 250 ml) | The best-known product: an at-home repair treatment | Weekly, 10 minutes on damp hair before you wash |
| Nº. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo | Repairing shampoo; also available as Nº. 4 Fine, Nº. 4C Clarifying and Nº. 4P Blonde Enhancer | Every wash |
| Nº. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner | Repairing conditioner; also available as Nº. 5 Fine, Nº. 5P Blonde Enhancer and Nº. 5 Leave-in | After Nº. 4 |
| Nº. 6 Bond Smoother | Leave-in cream against frizz, for up to 72 hours | On damp or dry hair, after washing |
| Nº. 7 Bonding Oil (30 and 60 ml) | Hair oil with heat protection up to 232°C | Daily, or before styling |
| Nº. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask | Hydrating mask for dry hair | Weekly, 10 minutes on clean, damp hair |
| Nº. 9 Bond Protector Serum | Styling serum with shine and heat protection | First step of styling |
| Nº. 10 Bond Shaper Curl Defining Gel | Curl gel | On clean, wet hair |
| Nº. 0.5 Scalp Longevity Treatment | Scalp treatment | Applied directly to the scalp |
There's also the Nº. 4D Clean Volume Detox Dry Shampoo (250 and 50 ml) and the Volumizing Blow Dry Mist. The BrowBond Building Serum is for eyebrows, and the Discovery Kit is there to try the line.
For a more intensive treatment, apply Nº. 0 to dry hair first and leave it in for 10 minutes before applying Nº. 3 on top. For healthy hair, once a week with Nº. 3 is enough. For very damaged hair, use it up to three times a week until your hair recovers.

Which number do I start with?
Nº. 3, along with Nº. 4 and Nº. 5 as your shampoo and conditioner. Add Nº. 0 for genuinely damaged hair.
How often do I use Nº. 3?
Once a week for healthy hair, up to three times a week for very damaged hair.
What's the difference between Nº. 3 and Nº. 8?
Nº. 3 repairs the bonds in your hair; Nº. 8 is a hydrating mask. Damaged hair needs Nº. 3 first, dry hair needs Nº. 8, and the two work well alongside each other.

Nº. 4 Fine cleanses without weighing fine hair down and adds volume; Nº. 4 is the regular repairing shampoo.
