Received this item and suspect it is a fake. Item was much yellower in colour than previous bottle and the QR code on the bottle has been scratched over so that it cannot be read by QR reader. As stated on the Olaplex website 'All our consumer products contain QR codes on the bottom back side. If a QR code is missing, scratched off or tampered with in any way, do not buy it as the product could be fake, expired or diluted. '
The fact that just the QR code on the bottle has been scraped out, and no other damage to any other area of the label makes me suspect that this has been done because it is a fake product.
Amazon were great at accepting the return of the item, and I will be buying from now on where I can guarantee that I will receive genuine item.

9 weeks on and the colour is only starting to fade out (I’m 3 weeks past when I should have had my hair redone due to Covid) My colour would normal be completely faded by now using my old shampoo and definitely no shine.
My hair also used to get greasy really quick, I had to wash my hair every second day to keep it looking fresh. Well no more with Olaplex I can comfortably go 4-5 days+ without washing my hair when in the shower and I have that just out the hairdresser feel every time I wash.
The bottles may be small but a little really does go a long way, just a small amount brings out a good lather and my hair is past my waist. I’ve washed my hair at least once a week since buying this in November and still have half a bottle of both shampoo and conditioner left. (If I had shorter hair I’d probably have more left!)
I cannot recommend Olaplex highly enough if you have dyed hair. It really is worth the money.
P.S there isn’t much of a fragrance from it but a little spray of perfume on the hairbrush after blow drying fixes that ;-)
A must if you want to prolong your coloured hair
By Vivpop on 27 January 2022
I’m 35 years old, have dyed my hair red since I was 13 and always bought supermarket shampoo. Shampoos shampoo right? WRONG!!! I used to laugh at a friend of mine who refused to buy supermarket shampoo calling it “paint stripper” I now full understand what she meant!! Having paid £115 in November 2021 for highlights for the first time I wanted to keep the colour for as long as possible… I splurged and bought Olaplex no4+5.By Vivpop on 27 January 2022

Initially, you look at the price, and have second thoughts, BUT, think how much your normal hair care combination costs, and how quickly you get through it. I also use quite a lot of hairspray everyday. I used this conditioner after first using their shampoo, please note, we live in a very hard water area, and found it lathered up nicely, so this came as a total surprise to me, despite being told it would happen by my hairdresser!
You only need the same tiny application of conditioner, as you do with the shampoo (size of 5p coin), a little goes a long way, which is recommended to be left on for 3 minutes. Once again, you won’t believe that such a small amount will do anything- trust me, it does!
I have a wide-toothed comb that I use on my wet hair, and it glided through, with no tangles.
I usually wash my hair twice a week, but I’ve only needed to wash once a week since using this fabulous combination of shampoo and conditioner. My hair is shiny all week, and feels soft despite the daily hairspray and the winter weather! Just like my hairdresser, I would highly recommend!

And for the reviews saying it’s not real, mine are! I got 2 and they’re sealed, took them into the salon to ask if they were okay and they’re exactly the same.
Definitely worth the price if your hair is in need of it, the smell isn’t harsh at all and it makes my hair weightless even if I leave it in.
I’ve been using olaplex since it was released in the UK but this is the first time I’ve used the conditioner, I would also highly recommend the little golden oil they sell for those who heat style!
It’s Olaplex!

Does exactly what it said it does, my hair is dark curly and has been bleached over and over for years, the salon recommended I buy this and said to grab it off Amazon even though they sell it themselves(for a higher price).By Sultan Fadil on 15 September 2021
