Olaplex Sets

What is an Olaplex Set

An Olaplex Set is a bundle of two or more products designed to work together in a single hair care routine, rather than single items bought separately. Most sets combine a bond-building treatment with a maintenance shampoo and conditioner, since repair and daily upkeep are meant to reinforce each other. Bond-building formulas work at a molecular level, relinking the disulfide bonds that break down during bleaching, colouring, perming or heat styling. This is different from a standard moisturising or smoothing product, which mainly coats the hair surface rather than repairing it internally. Sets are useful if you're starting a new routine and don't want to guess which products pair well. They also tend to offer better value than buying each product on its own. Not every set is meant for the same hair type or concern, so it helps to check whether a kit is built for repair, blonde maintenance or everyday shine before choosing one.

Starter and travel kits

The Salon Intro Kit and the Traveling Stylist Kit are aimed at people who want to try the full Olaplex system without committing to full-size bottles first. They typically include the core bond-building steps in smaller or salon-specific packaging, which makes them practical for stylists or for testing the routine at home. The Traveling Stylist Kit is sized for carry-on luggage, so it suits frequent travellers who don't want to skip their hair care routine. These kits are a good entry point if you're new to Olaplex and want to see results before buying larger sizes.

Kit No. 3, 4, 5 + 6: a complete bond-repair routine

This set combines the in-shower treatment, shampoo, conditioner and a leave-in styling cream, covering both repair and daily protection. No. 3 works as a pre-shampoo treatment that strengthens hair before washing, while No. 4 and No. 5 clean and condition without stripping the rebuilt bonds. The added leave-in cream helps protect hair from heat and friction during styling. It's a practical choice for anyone with regularly coloured, bleached or heat-styled hair who wants one routine that covers every step from treatment to finish.

Sets for blonde and grey hair

The Blonde Set Shampoo & Conditioner and the maintenance kits with No. 4P and No. 5P are formulated to counter brassiness and yellow tones in blonde or grey hair. These toning products contain violet pigments that neutralise warmth, alongside the same bond-building base as the rest of the range. They're best used a few times a week rather than daily, since overuse of purple shampoo can leave hair with a grey or dull cast. If your hair isn't blonde or grey, these sets won't offer any real benefit over the standard No. 4 and No. 5 duo.

Maintenance and clarifying kits

Kits combining No.4, 4P and No.5, or the Kit Maintenance No.4, 4P + No.5 and Kit Protection No.6 + No.7, are built for ongoing care after an initial repair phase. The No.4C Bond Clarifying Shampoo is worth adding occasionally to remove product buildup, since bond-building conditioners can leave residue over time if used exclusively. These sets suit people who already use Olaplex regularly and want to keep colour-treated or chemically processed hair in good condition between salon visits.

Discovery and gift sets

The Healthy Hair Discovery Set and the Endless Shine Smooth Hair Set are smaller-format bundles meant for trying multiple products at once, often at a lower price than buying full sizes separately. The Best of Bond Builders Set focuses specifically on the treatment side of the range for people mainly interested in repair rather than a full daily routine. These sets make sense as an introduction or a gift, but heavy daily users will likely need to switch to full-size shampoo and conditioner sooner than expected.
