Is the single-use treatment worth it?

It is worth it if you want to try Olaplex or need a travel dose. Per application it costs much more than the multi-use bottle, so regular users should buy the larger size.

How is it different from the Olaplex No.3 bottle?

Both are bond-building treatments applied to damp hair and rinsed out. The single-use vial is one pre-measured dose for travel or trial; No.3 is a multi-use bottle that costs less per treatment.

Apply to damp, towel-dried hair, work it through, and leave it on for about 10 minutes before rinsing. Use it once or twice a week alongside your normal shampoo and conditioner.

Is it safe for colored or chemically treated hair?

Yes. It is marketed for colored and chemically treated hair and is sulfate-free. It is not a color depositor, so it will not change your shade.

How much product is in one vial?

Each vial holds 1.5 oz, one application. Long or thick hair may need more than one vial per use.

Single-use vials are often discounted in multi-packs and during salon or brand sales. Compare the per-vial price against the full-size bottle before buying.

Our take on the Olaplex The Stand-Alone Treatment Single-Use

Olaplex The Stand-Alone Treatment is a single-use vial of the brand's bond-building treatment, meant to be applied to damp hair and left on for 10 minutes before rinsing. It is a leave-in-and-rinse repair step for colored or chemically treated hair, sold as a one-dose travel-friendly size. The formula is marketed as sulfate-free and cruelty-free, and the brand's bis-amino repair technology is the draw. At $12 per single-use vial at Olaplex as of November 3, it costs far more per application than the 3.3 oz at-home bottle, so it mainly makes sense as a trial or travel dose.
