I know quite few people that use this but it £56 for the shampoo and conditioner!

I mean that is a lot for shampoo. They all say the same thing which is you only need a tiny amount.

There are deals and offers so I need to find a good one.

How Much do you pay and where from?

Do you think it's a lot of money but worth it?

Allbeauty.com currently has 15% discount

I didn't rate the shampoo and conditioner. They didn't do much for my hair. Number 3 and possibly 0 are the best products for me.

WhyOY · 13/11/2022 06:59

Get a little trial set so you can try for your self. No3 was the game changer for me, the rest I can take or leave as nice to haves

ping78 · 13/11/2022 07:14

I paid £45 last month, lookfantastic usually has a 20% off code

ping78 · 13/11/2022 07:14

And cash back

Isabelle70 · 13/11/2022 07:38

I only use the number 6 and a bottle lasts me a year using it 5 days a week.

Namechangeangeforthisthread · 13/11/2022 07:47

I bought the trade size bottles from Amazon a few years ago and just kept topping up the small bottles. I think they were £90 each but have lasted at least 3 years.

something2say · 13/11/2022 07:58

What's it for? I've heard of it, but never tried it. I do curly girl, very thick curly hair.

SavingsThreads · 13/11/2022 08:03

I've used No 0, 3, 4&5 (that's the shampoo and conditioner), 6 and 8. Don't rate any of them except 4&5. I have mid/long highlighted hair and the ends are just so rough. Olaplex hasn't helped at all after about 6months of use

Castaspell · 13/11/2022 08:05

Shop around, call local stockists. I work at one of 3 salons in my town and we sell it at RRP of £28 for 1 but on a multi buy deal of £49 for 2 which the other salons don't seem to - we sell to their clients! There's always deals on LookFantastic too.

tenbob · 13/11/2022 08:06

I use 4&5 and it is incredible for my very thin hair

I buy it when SpaceNK has a 20% off flash sale

it has gone up a lot in the last year though…

but a bottle lasts me around 4 months. I use a penny sized amount for my below-my-shoulders hair

Olaplex 3 is in many of the advent calendars this Christmas so there are lots of bottles on eBay.

Thanks everyone really helpful. It was on look fantastic for £33 last week with two discounts but saw it too late. This sounds like a good deal and the consnsus on here is about £40 is usual.

@WhyOY a travel size kit would be ideal for a Christmas present

@something2say it's a bond repair system that claims to rebuild and fix your damaged hair. No 3 is the hair perfect or and no4 and no5 are the shampoo and conditioner. Lots of salons used the others as part of a colour treatment

@tenbob I have exactly the same hair as you.

I've been using the fake Aldi version since Summer and it's just ran out.

WhyOY · 13/11/2022 08:31

I had one like this: Trial kit - look fantastic but without the zero.

The shampoo and conditioner are nice but very much a luxury purchase and it's the 3 thar makes the difference for me

tenbob · 13/11/2022 08:39

If you have thin and fine hair, I also highly recommend a t3 curaluxe hair dryer

A quick rough dry leaves my hair looking nearly as good as after a salon blow dry and they seem especially good for fine hair

They are ridiculously expensive new but they are always on eBay

rainbowandglitter · 13/11/2022 08:41

A few people I know are saying it's ruined their hair. I think a lot of people were on social media saying this recently too.

Era · 13/11/2022 08:48

It will ruin your hair if you use it too much and overload it with protein. It will become very brittle.

I use the shampoo and conditioner and then number 2 which is a more concentrated version of number 3. I buy the big trade bottles. I have very long thick hair. The shampoo lasts me a year. Conditioner about 9 months. The number 2 which is really the key treatment product lasts a LONG time. You should only be using it once every 4 weeks or so.

I think some people get carried away - they like the results when they first use an oloplex product so use them every time or lots in the range. But yes I've seen this too. I wouldn't go out and buy a massive bottle without trying it first.

@WhyOY I'mGoing to get that trial pack thanks seem ok price and has lots of bits that will last and a while and I can try the shampoo and conditioner.

And I can get another 22% off and free deliver if I get some thing else and I need an eyeliner so all great!

My hairdressers said not to use it daily as it probs my too much as I wash my hair every day. She said most use 2-3 times a week as that is how often most people Wash their hair.

I cannot for love nor money find the no 2. 😩

@ememem84 #1 and #2 are for professional salon use only, that's why you can't find them

Era · 13/11/2022 22:26

You can sign up to the hairdressing supplier websites and they will sell it to you.
