I thought I had nabbed the best Olaplex dupe in Primark for more than £20 cheaper – but it’s totally divided opinions
A BARGAIN hunter has left the social media users divided after insisting she’s found cheap dupes of Olaplex in Primark.
Over the years, Olaplex has become a cult favourite for those wanting to keep their hair healthy – but despite being loved by many, the popular haircare is also on the more pricey end.
Luckily, one money-saving shopper has claimed to have spotted a new dupe in high-street retailer Primark for more than £20 cheaper.
Beauty fan Kia, from South Wales, was so pleased with the finds, she informed fellow Olaplex lovers about the affordable buys on TikTok.
One of them, the 22-year-old showed in her video, was their new Bond Pro-Repair styling oil that was selling for £4.50.
This plant-based product was believed to be a double for Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil, which is scanning at an eye-watering £28 at Sephora and other beauty retailers.
The discount store, which recently also launched a new range of must-have summer beauty buys, now stocks PS… Bond Pro-Repair Pre-Shampoo Treatment to go with the routine.
According to the white bottle, the formula has been designed to give you a head of silky and smooth locks.
Unlike the posh version – Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector – Primark’s dupe sells for £4.50, saving you close to £24.
Whilst shopping, Kia also stumbled across a hair mask from the same range – a 100ml of the product that’s marketed to ”soften and condition hair” costs £4.50.
Meanwhile, Olaplex offers their No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask at a whopping £28.
However, if you’re going away on a holiday or simply want to test a smaller amount of the mask, you can also nab a 25ml sachet for just £2, the make-up whizz showed in the clip.

But whilst the news were welcome amongst many, not everyone was sold on the new haircare collection.
”Onl [only] because it looks like olaplex, it doesnt mean it works like olaplex [sic],” reckoned one.
Someone else agreed, writing: ”I wouldnt use primark shampoo or conditioner tbh [sic].”
”i cant tell if it will make hair fall out or if it will make hair shiny [sic],” another wasn’t totally convinced either.
”i smell a lawsuit,” a person thought.
