Zara McDermott Reveals Secret to Ultra-Shiny Hair with New Olaplex Treatment
Reality television star and influencer Zara McDermott has unveiled the secret behind her exceptionally glossy, mirror-like hair, attributing it to Olaplex's newly reformulated No.3 PLUS Complete Repair Treatment. In a recent social media post, McDermott expressed her amazement, stating, "Oh my god, I'm not sure my hair has EVER been this shiny?" She enthusiastically added, "Used Olaplex new No 3 treatment and WOW." This endorsement highlights the product's effectiveness in achieving a high-shine finish with minimal effort.
What Makes Olaplex No.3 PLUS Stand Out?
The No.3 PLUS Treatment is a revamped version of Olaplex's best-selling No.3 Hair Perfector, now available for £32. Unlike the original, which requires at least 10 minutes of application time, the new formula works in just three minutes. It operates on both the interior and exterior of hair strands, offering comprehensive repair of existing damage while providing protection against future harm. This makes it suitable for all hair types, including bleached and coloured hair, without the need for lengthy waiting periods or complex steps.
How to Use the Treatment:
- Apply the No.3 PLUS Treatment to wet hair.
- Leave it on for three minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly, then shampoo and condition as usual.
Olaplex claims that a single use can instantly make hair softer, stronger, and healthier, repairing various types of damage. For optimal results, it is recommended to use the treatment every one to three washes.
Customer Reviews and Alternative Options
Shoppers at Space NK have echoed McDermott's praise, with one user noting, "My hair can be very dry and this has definitely made it feel softer each time I've used it." Another reviewer commented, "This product is really quite amazing... my hair just felt so soft and nourished for about a week after!" However, some feedback was mixed; a customer with fine, coloured hair mentioned it did not add shine or bounce as expected, suggesting results may vary by hair type.
For those seeking alternatives:
- The K18 Hair Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask (£30) is a leave-in treatment favoured by celebrities for rapid repair of hair damage.
- Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment is currently discounted to £24.30 from £27.
- L'Oréal Paris Elvive Bond Repair Pre-Shampoo Treatment offers a budget-friendly option at £8.49, reduced by 50% from £16.99, requiring a five-minute application before shampooing.
Overall, Zara McDermott's endorsement and positive customer feedback underscore the Olaplex No.3 PLUS Treatment as a promising solution for achieving shiny, healthy hair with convenience and efficiency.
