Keeping blonde hair fresh, healthy and vibrant can feel challenging, especially when many people don't have the time or money to invest in copious products. That's why shoppers are buying one 'magic in a bottle' treatment which only takes three minutes to use.

The Olaplex No.3 Plus Complete Repair Treatment (100ml) is currently available from Sally Beauty for 32, or it can be bought for 64 for a 250ml bottle. Described as a fast, three-minute pre-shampoo hair treatment, this product is said to repair all types of damage in all hair types and offer 'immediately softer, stronger hair'. It is also said to reduce frizz and flyaways and improve smoothness.

While it works on all hair types, it's particularly suited to blondes. Anyone with bleached hair - whether it's bright platinum locks, honey-toned highlights or a soft balayage - know it requires a bit of extra maintenance to stay strong and healthy. The Olaplex repair treatment helps restore hair strands that might have been damaged by bleaching, colouring and heat styling - with the brand saying it's clinically proven to create three times stronger and softer hair.

It is protein-free, colour-safe and powered by patented Olaplex Bond Building Technology, and it is said to improve manageability and infuse moisture, too. To use it, shoppers should apply the product generously to wet hair from roots to ends, leave it on for three minutes and then rinse. The brand advises to then follow with the Olaplex shampoo and conditioner, and to use it every one to three washes for 'best results'.

Sally Beauty also has the Wunderbar Vegan Sheer Silver Colour Protect Mask (250ml) for 21.67, down from 25.49, which works as a handy accompaniment to the Olaplex repair treatment. The Wunderbar mask is a brightening treatment which neutralises golden shades in blonde and bleached hair.

Product Description

It is described as a fast, three-minute pre-shampoo hair treatment

It is said to moisturise and nourish the hair, while restoring and maintaining the colour intensity and vibrancy. To use it, shoppers should apply the mask to freshly washed hair and leave it in for five to 10 minutes before rinsing, and it should be repeated one to two times per week.

There are other options available, however, such as this Aveda Botanical Repair Pre-Shampoo Treatment (150ml) from Cult Beauty for 39. This helps 'minimise the appearance of damage before your shampoo gets started', and it is said to visibly strengthen each strand from root to tip.

Or at LookFantastic, there's the Living Proof Moisture Rescue Mask (236ml) for 36. This is described as 'a lightweight, yet rich hair mask designed to replenish lost moisture for a smooth, silky finish'.

While there are no reviews for the Olaplex No.3 Plus Complete Repair Treatment (100ml) on Sally Beauty currently, it has been rated highly on LookFantastic's site. One shopper said: "This formula honestly feels like magic in a bottle. I was a little sceptical at first about applying it from roots to ends - I couldn't imagine how it wouldn't make my roots greasy while still hydrating the ends. But it works. And it works beautifully. My hair feels so silky afterwards, like I just walked out of a salon."

A second person said: "Honestly, it feels like I'm giving my hair a professional salon treatment at home. I highly recommend it to anyone with natural, textured hair who straightens or styles with heat."

Others deducted stars from their reviews and left feedback, with one writing: "It works! I had a crispy section from too much dye that it has vastly improved. Only not five out of five because it is very expensive for a very small amount. I just put (it) on the bottom where it is most needed."

Another said as part of a longer review: "This was my first time trying a product from this brand but it just wasn't for me. I did like the creamy formula but it didn't do anything different than a regular conditioner does for my hair. "

Overall, though, most were pleased with the product. Another said: "Wow?! I was really not expecting this product to give me such amazing results right off the bat. The Complete Repair Treatment really delivered! My hair is fine and tends to become super dry at my ends. I love the idea of a repair treatment, but they don't work out for me a lot of times because they typically weigh down my fine hair.

"When I read the directions on the bottle to apply from roots to end, I was actually a little scared because I feared my hair would just look like a greasy fine mess. Didn't happen! My hair doesn't feel greasy at all. It feels so much better, especially at my ends. I love the scent of this product and it's really giving salon treatment at home vibes.

"A little product goes a long way and I loved that you only have to leave (it) on for three minutes. As a mum, my time is very valuable and I can find three minutes to spare in my shower routine! I love this product and (it) will definitely be a repurchase for me."

The Olaplex No.3 Plus Complete Repair Treatment (100ml) and the Wunderbar Vegan Sheer Silver Colour Protect Mask (250ml) are available from Sally Beauty.
