Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector is an at-home treatment, which works to repair dry, damaged and broken hair.

The formula contains active ingredients, which works to find broken bonds in the hair shaft caused by heat or styling, and mends them.

The cult hair product, which retails for £23, can be left in the hair overnight as a deep conditioner, or washed out after 10 minutes.

On Amazon the hair product already boasts over 13,000 reviews, 75% giving the product five stars. Customers call it “a real game changing product” and a “genuine miracle”.

Numerous skincare products also proved to be popular during lockdown, with items by Laura Mercier, PIXI and Bobbi Brown all making it into the top ten beauty purchases.
