Best praise vs top criticism for Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector
Best Praise
+285 pts“Olaplex #3 will revive the curls but I suggest you leave it overnight and wash out next day I have 2C hair and same issue when straightening hair. Think it's better to blow dry straight, lay it down straight with durag or bonnet, and then low heat straighten with oil/heat protectant EDIT: OP bc your hair is dyed it's more sensitive to the heat. So I'd advise you to stay away from heat if you wanna keep your curls. Someone else said that olaplex only works when wet and for an hour. That might be true, but I've experimented with leaving olaplex in 3, 6, 8 hours and 6 to overnight resulted in tighter curls. I have long hair low porosity so it doesn't completely dry until next day and that might be why it works better for me”

+24 pts“I used K18 and olaplex. Personally for me they didn't do anything magical that any other good protein based deep conditioner didn't do. For instance the hask keratin deep conditioner. Did a much better job in reducing frizz, adding shine and definition to my hair compared to k18 or olaplex.”
