I ordered their TSV a few months ago, and saw absolutely no benefit from those products, I believe it was a combo of their #0 and #3. The last time I got a perm (1.5 years ago) my stylist used one of the Olaplex products during the perm process, and for the first time in my life my perm actually held and I still had curls a year later, but using it at home did nothing for what perm I had left or the unpermed hair that grew in in the interim. I stopped using the Olaplex I had left once I got the last of my perm cut off a few months ago, I may just throw the rest of it away, as it was a total waste of time and effort. It gets good reviews from some, but my fine, straight, greying blonde hair got no benefit from it whatever. Hope this helps, @Kitty Galore

Not sure what set is being offered. I like some of their products, but also avoid some that contain silicones.

Some people love them, but I bought them and didn't find anything at all special about them (except the high price!).

I had a bleaching accident a year ago and use the whole line. I love the products and swear by them. My hair is really healthy and shiny.

I really like the shampoo and conditioner. I feel like my hair is stonger and doesn't break as much. Most other shampoos just made my hair frizzy. A hair dresser told me once, shampoo is for your scalp and conditioner is for your hair. That stuck so now I try and use the shampoo on scalp and just rinse thru the hair. I wash my hair every 3 days. I digress - Olaplex is a nice product and works great for my colored hair.

I love Olaplex, it saved my hair. It's cruelty free, no parabens, no phosphates, no sulphates, no silicone.

I have naturally curly hair. It's low porosity, so I always had a hard time getting good results from a lot of different shampoos and conditioners. It was always clean, but tangled very easily, or stayed frizzy.

With Olaplex I now (starting using about a year ago) have super manageable hair, soft, bouncy, and no frizz. I only wash my hair once a week.

I use No. 3 as a pre-poo (pre shampoo) to prepare my hair for the rigorous shampoo. It makes my hair very soft & silky. Then I use Nos. 4 & 5, the shampoo & conditioner, which have much less water, unlike most shampoos & conditioners which are mostly water. So you use very little at a time; a little goes a very long way. Then No. 6 for my leave-in conditioner to define my curls and eliminate frizz.

If I want a straight style instead of my curls, Instead of No. 6, I use No. 9, a serum that's a great protector before blow drying my hair.

These all take very little product to work on my hair, so I'm not buying a closet full every 3 months.

The only Olaplex product I found that I don't like for my hair at all is their No. 0. It's a bond building treatment to use before No. 3. I hated this product. It has the consistency of water, so it was very hard to apply to stay on my hair. It drips all over the place. But worse, it made my hair feel like straw!! Very brittle and hard to manage. After searching online reviews, I saw quite a few that had the exact same experience with No. 0.

Sorry this was so long. But yeah, I really love Olaplex, the ones that work great for my hair.
