OLAPLEX Pre Shampoo Ritual No.3 Hair Perfector

The Secret to Stronger, Shinier Hair? It Starts Before You Shampoo

Healthy hair has become the ultimate beauty status symbol—achieving it might be easier. Enter the OLAPLEX Nº. 3 HAIR PERFECTOR™, a pre-shampoo treatment that’s redefining at-home hair repair. Whether your hair is color-treated, heat-styled, or simply stressed from everyday wear and tear, this cult-favourite treatment is a must-have step in your weekly haircare ritual.

Why Pre-Shampoo Is the New Power Move

Unlike traditional masks that come after shampooing, OLAPLEX Nº. 3 works its magic before you cleanse. It’s a bond-building powerhouse that repairs hair from the inside out, targeting damage at the molecular level by rebuilding broken disulphide bonds. This essential structure gives hair strength and resilience.

Just one treatment delivers noticeable results. OLAPLEX’s clinical studies show that when used with the Nº.4 BOND MAINTENANCE® SHAMPOO and Nº.5 BOND MAINTENANCE® CONDITIONER (or the Fine Hair versions, Nº.4F and Nº.5F), hair becomes 3x stronger after a single use. Think: more shine, less breakage, and a silky, healthy texture that feels as good as it looks.

How to Use Nº. 3 HAIR PERFECTOR™

Incorporating OLAPLEX into your routine is easy, and it only takes a few minutes to see results:

  1. Before shampooing, dampen your hair and apply Nº. 3 HAIR PERFECTOR™ from roots to ends, ensuring full saturation.
  2. Leave it on for at least 3 minutes (or up to 10 for deeper repair).
  3. Rinse thoroughly, then follow with your OLAPLEX shampoo and conditioner duo.

You can use it more than once a week for hair that needs extra TLC, making it the perfect rescue remedy for damaged strands or a glow-up ritual before a big event.

The Bottom Line

If you’re serious about maintaining hair that’s strong, glossy, and resilient—OLAPLEX Nº. 3 HAIR PERFECTOR™ belongs in your beauty arsenal. It’s more than just a treatment—it’s the first step in transforming your hair from stressed to stunning.
