Why did OLAPLEX update Nº.3?
As colour, styling, and environmental stressors increased, so did the need for a more advanced, complete repair system. Nº.3PLUS builds on the heritage of Nº.3 with a formulation designed for today’s salon and consumer needs.
Is Nº.3PLUS replacing Nº.3?
Yes. Nº.3PLUS is the upgraded, full replacement for the original Nº.3 Hair Perfector®.
Salons can confidently transition clients to Nº.3PLUS with the message: It’s everything you loved about Nº.3, only better.
What are the key benefits of Nº.3PLUS for salon clients?

3x stronger hair
3x softer, smoother hair

How should Nº.3PLUS be used?
As a pre-wash treatment:
Apply to damp hair
Leave on for 3 minutes
Rinse
Shampoo + condition (Nº.4 & Nº.5 recommended)
Use frequency: Every 1-3 washes depending on hair condition.
Do clients still need Nº.0 with Nº.3PLUS?
No. Nº.0 was designed to boost the performance of the original Nº.3. Nº.3PLUS already delivers enhanced performance and doesn’t require Nº.0 for effectiveness.
Is Nº.3PLUS suitable for all hair types?
Yes. While Nº.3 was especially strong for coloured or damaged hair, Nº.3PLUS is formulated for all hair types, from fine and fragile to coarse and curly.
Should salons retail both products?
No, Nº.3PLUS fully replaces Nº.3. Salons should transition customers to the new formula as existing Nº.3 stock sells through.
