A 3-Minute Ritual That Transforms Your Hair

When hair is damaged, dry, or dull, it’s easy to think real repair takes countless hours and treatments, but the truth is that transformative hair health can begin in just 3 minutes.

Meet OLAPLEX® Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment, the next evolution of our cult-favorite bond treatment, the Nº.3 Hair Perfector®, designed to repair damage past, present, and future, faster than ever. This simple, science-backed ritual fits seamlessly into your routine and delivers stronger, smoother, healthier-looking hair in less time it takes to rinse and repeat.

Why Damaged Hair Needs More Than Moisture

Daily life can take a toll on your hair. Things like heat styling, coloring, environmental stressors, and even brushing can weaken bonds deep inside the hair, and while conditioners help hair feel softer, they don’t always address the structural damage.

That’s where foundational hair health becomes important. Using patented OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology™, the Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment focuses on repairing the bonds that give hair its strength, shape, and shine rather than masking the damage.

What Makes the Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment Different?

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.

The Results You Can See and Feel

Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment:

 

  • Repairs damage in just 3 minutes
  • Instantly revives strength, smoothness, softness, shine, and shape
  • Helps reduce breakage over time
  • Defends hair against future damage
  • Color-safe, vegan, and suitable for all hair types 

 

The Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment is designed to make repair simple, quick, and easy. Designed for in-shower application, the fast-acting formula works in just 3 minutes to deliver immediate results, leaving hair 3x stronger and 3x softer after one use.

Your 3 Minute Hair Repair Ritual

Consistency is key to healthy hair, and this ritual was designed to be easy and effortless.

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.

 

Style as usual and you’re ready to go! That’s it – no complicated steps, no extra time commitment. 

Who Should Use the Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment?

Everyone should be focused on their internal hair health. OLAPLEX Nº.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment is designed for all hair types and textures, whether your hair is color-treated, heat-styled, or simply in need of extra strength and shine.

 

If your hair feels: 

 

  • Dry or brittle
  • Prone to breakage
  • Dull or lacking softness
  • Over-styled or chemically processed

 

Then you should prioritize building a haircare routine built around strengthening and softening your hair. In addition to adding a pre-treatment, shop by your hair goal to build a complete routine that suits your hair best.
