2Pk Olaplex Hair Perfector No 3 Treatment

After hearing the rave of this shampoo system, I decided to order it and give it a try. Off the bat, my first thought was surpised at the sizing of this bottle, $30 for 3.3.oz? I bought this as a trio and it looks a-lot bigger in the photos. After my first use, I noticed that the texture of this product is not very Lathery, its super hard to spread around your hair, and I ended up using about 1/4 of the bottle on the 1st use!! Its like putting on a conditioner that doesn't want to spread around. My hair is about mid-back legnth, I have oily roots with dry strands/tips. I wasn't impressed with how much I needed to use to spread all-over my hair. Initially, this only lasted me roughly 3-4 uses, and thats with me using it as sparingly as possible. Because of my complex hair style, I have to wash my hair roughly every 3 days... so 1 bottle only lasts me less than 2 weeks, and thats a different story when it comes to the shampoo which you only need a pea size drop! I would have to buy this product at least 2-3 times a month, making it double, if not triple the expense of the shampoo and conditioner. The system already runs for $90 for all three products, the sizing of the No.3 is absolutely not worth $30 if you ask me, not for how many uses it has, especially since I'd have to purchase it mulitple times a month and they don't even offer a bigger size for folks with longer hair, they do offer a 4% off buying 2 or more, but thats not even $2.60 off of $60. Its litterally a 'travel size' compared to shampoo and conditioner and Its OVER PRICED for how many uses you get out of it. No.4&5 only work if I use No.3, if-not, my hair is completely unmanageable!! I cannot comb through it or style it, even after applying the No.6 product after the wash! I have to use an alternative leave-in treatment from another brand just to have managable hair again! So in other words, the shampoo and conditioner don't even work without the No.3 bonding for my hair type. After 1 month of using, I cannot say my dry tips got any better, but my hair does look and feel healthier, and I enjoy how clean my scalp and hair feels when all 3 items are used together with the No.6 leave-in treatment, but having to spend an additional $60 dollars a month for 2 extra bottles just to keep up with the shampoo and conditioner bottles is very extreme, and a SHAME on Oplax as a company for taking advantage of their customers.
