The Bond-Repair Routine Stylists Recommend Before Your Next Colour Appointment
OLAPLEX repair treatments are the essential first step for anyone planning seasonal colour changes or maintaining chemically treated hair. Colour services place significant stress on the hair structure, making bond repair and strengthening critical both before and after salon visits. That’s why top colourists and stylists recommend booking an OLAPLEX Stand-Alone Treatment every 4–6 weeks, depending on your hair’s needs.
The Stand-Alone Treatment includes OLAPLEX Nº.1 and Nº.2, the patented concentrate known as ‘liquid gold’. Nº.1 is in all OLAPLEX products, making the in-salon treatment a powerful boost. These treatments deliver intensive bond-building using deep-penetrating formulas for maximum repair. Frequent colouring requires shorter intervals between treatments to maintain strength and resilience. Consistent use of in-salon treatments and at-home OLAPLEX care is essential for healthy, vibrant hair and supporting bond repair, moisture, tone, and damage prevention.
Make it stand out
The OLAPLEX Stand-Alone Treatment
And to keep perfect hair between treatments, the experts recommend the OLAPLEX at-home bond repair ritual, which features the New Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment to ensure bonds are maintained and repaired in between Stand Alone treatments. Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment is the only pre-shampoo treatment powered by Patented Bond Building Technology™, now enhanced to repair both the cortex and cuticle for complete internal hair repair.
OLAPLEX Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment delivers visible strength, softness, and shine in just three minutes by repairing hair at the bond level. Unlike conditioners that only smooth the surface, it works deep within the cortex and cuticle to repair damage and support long-term, foundational hair health. Designed for easy in-shower use and suitable for all hair types, Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment fits seamlessly into any routine, making professional-level repair accessible at home.
“I’ve built my career on maintaining the integrity of my clients' hair, and OLAPLEX is the gold standard for that. When a product is clinically proven to make hair 3x stronger and softer after just one use, I know my clients are getting a real transformation they can see and feel.” Tracey Cunningham, Celebrity Colourist and OLAPLEX Global Ambassador
The perfect at-home hair care ritual for a healthy hair:
Step 1: Apply in the Shower
Get your hair wet, squeezing excess water so that the hair is damp. Apply a generous amount of Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment from mid-lengths to ends.
Step 2: Wait 3 Minutes
Let the formula get to work repairing bonds and restoring hair health from the inside out.
Step 3: Rinse and Wash
Rinse thoroughly, then follow with OLAPLEX Nº.4 Bond Maintenance® Shampoo and Nº.5 Bond Maintenance® Conditioner. If you need extra conditioning, try the OLAPLEX RICH HYDRATION MASK or WEIGHTLESS NOURISHING MASK once a week.
Style as usual and you’re ready to go! That’s it, no complicated steps, no extra time commitment.
For best results, use every 1-3 washes. Can be used daily if desired.
