What's New - Original No.3 vs. No.3 Plus

Everything you loved about the original - plus breakthrough upgrades.

Complete Bond Technology

Powered by Patented OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology with the molecule Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, No.3 Plus penetrates deep into the hair cortex to rebuild damaged bonds at the molecular level. Unlike treatments that merely coat the surface, it physically reconnects the bonds that give hair its strength, elasticity, and structure.

The three pillars of OLAPLEX repair

• Hydrogen bonds - restores moisture retention and flexibility, reducing the dry, brittle feeling that comes with damage.
• Salt (ionic) bonds - rebuilds strength and resilience disrupted by pH changes during coloring and chemical treatments.
• Disulfide (covalent) bonds - the strongest bonds in hair and the hardest to repair. OLAPLEX's patented molecule is the only proven technology that relinks these critical bonds.

How to Use

1. In the shower before shampooing, apply No.3 Plus generously to wet hair from roots to ends until hair is fully saturated. This is a pre-shampoo treatment, not a conditioner.
2. Leave on for just 3 minutes. That's all it takes for the patented Bond Building Technology to repair all 3 bonds from cortex to cuticle.
3. Rinse thoroughly, then follow with No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner for the Simple Strength Routine.
4. Alternatively, pair with No.4 Fine and No.5 Fine for the Effortless Volume Routine.

For best results, use every 1-3 washes.
