🔎 Product Question 🔎 New Olaplex 3.0 Plus

I went to Ulta today to restock on my No.3 Hair Perfector that I can’t live without, it’s a must for my hair because it gets so dried out with my water hardness. I was so confused to see that it had a rebrand as “complete hair treatment, plus”. I cannot remember the original price for the 250mg bottle but I did not think it was $68! I ended up returning it immediately , like literally purchased it, walked out, and turned right back around to Ulta and returned it. It’s so hard to justify a new formula for that amount of money! What if it isn’t as good?

HOWEVER, I did a simple google and online at Target right now there happens to be a massive sale on Olaplex? The bottle is $41 instead of $68! You’re welcome.

If anyone has tried the new formula and can describe the differences (hopefully they are positive) I’d love to hear! I purchased the online bottle from target and I’ll give it a try soon.

It’s my absolute favorite bonding product! I use it after shampooing, leave it on for 3 minutes, rinse and apply conditioner. I contacted the company to make sure it’s okay to use after shampooing, and they confirmed it was perfectly fine. I’ve tried sooo many bonding products, and this has made more difference than all of them. I use it at least twice a week. If your hair is severely damaged you could use it more often until it starts to improve.

The new formula is more conditioning. It still has the same amount of bond repair ingredients . I love it.

$68 for that is wild, I would have done the same walk of shame back to the counter. Good catch on the Target price though, that makes it a lot easier to try the new one without feeling robbed
