Imagine your hair follicles as a delicate vine surviving the heat, dust, wind, and whatnot on an everyday basis. Their struggle does not just end there. New coloring trends and hairstyles act like unprecedented trauma for them.
In such tough times, Olaplex treatment can be a warm embrace of your struggling locks. And out of all the range, there's one product that I actually swear by — Olaplex No. 3.
Whether you're searching for a product to save your hair from the cons of salon treatments or simply want to give your hair the best care possible, I've got something here.
What is Olaplex No. 3?
You name a hair problem, and I'll tell you Olaplex 3 can solve it. There are many things that can be brutal for your hair health; it's not just color, bleach, and heat. Sometimes, these factors can be simple environmental changes like weather, humidity, etc.
No matter what your problems may be, this olaplex treatment is a solution to all of those.
The mask is said to moisturize, repair, strengthen, and smoothen your hair. It's that holy grail product that you must have on your shelf if you are a hair care freak. Even if you're not one, it is safe to say this product is enough for most of your hair needs.
Is Olaplex No. 3 better than the other two treatments?
If you do some homework, you'll know that Olaplex treatments 1, 2, and 3 share the main ingredient. The only difference between them is varying dosage.
- Olaplex 1 and 2 are designed exclusively for professional use. Typically, you'll find professionals mixing Olaplex 1 into hair colors or lightening treatments to help prevent damage to the client's hair.
- Olaplex No. 2 is used either on its own or as a post-color treatment to restore the hair's health.
- Finally, Olaplex 3 is a DIY treatment for your hair at-home spa days and saves on salon costs.
How Does Olaplex No. 3 Work On Your Hair?
Our hair strands have millions of proteins, which are connected by disulfide bonds. When these bonds weaken or break, your hair may begin to show signs of damage.
Olaplex’s key ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, works to repair and even rebuild these damaged bonds. As a result, your hair looks healthier and restored on the outside.
Step-by-Step Procedure to Use Olaplex Treatment Correctly
Before you begin with this mask, make sure there’s no product residue or dirt buildup in your hair. I recommend using Olaplex No. 4 or any clarifying shampoo of your choice for this. However, if you feel your hair is already clean, you can proceed directly with the treatment.
Step 1: Make Sure Your Hair is Slightly Wet
Although you can use it on dry hair, it will take more product to cover your hair.
Also, you might not find it as effective as applying it on damp here. The dampness of your hair will allow the mask to penetrate inside more easily. Besides, you won't have to worry about unnecessary tangles.
Step 2: Comb Through and Leave it In
To make sure your product is spread evenly through your hair, comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb as you smear the product. The better you coat your strands, the less product you will waste. Above all, the results will be better and even throughout your head.
Step 3: Use Your Routine Shampoo and Conditioner
You can leave the mask in your hair for as long as you like, but 10 to 90 minutes are enough to make a difference. Leaving it on longer won’t change its performance.
Then, wash your hair with any mild shampoo and conditioner of your choice, even better if they are Olaplex Nos 4 and 5. (The Correct Way to Wash Your Hair)
Step 4: Style Your Hair Whatever Way You Want!
Finally, you have achieved the end of the process. Now you can style your hair with any tools of your choice. But don't forget to apply any heat serums or sprays if you plan to use a hot hair dryer, flat iron, or curling tool.

FAQs
Q: What is the Right Amount of Olaplex No. 3 for One Wash?
The amount of product you put in your hair depends totally upon the thickness and length of your hair. There's no specific quantity that should or should not be used. Anything that coats your hair well enough is good.
Q: How Often Can I Use Olaplex No. 3?
Again, the frequency of your usage depends on the damage to your hair. I recommend using this treatment once a week or on every at-home spa day.
