Zara McDermott has shared the secret to her ultra-glossy mirror-like hair, and it’s thanks to Olaplex’s brand new reformulated treatment that you can get for £32
When it comes to our hair, there’s nothing better than perfecting an ultra-shiny finish, especially when it requires minimal effort. Which is why Zara McDermott couldn’t wait to share with fans the single-product secret behind her mirror-like locks, saying: “Oh my god, I’m not sure my hair has EVER been this shiny?”
She then added: “Used Olaplex new No 3 treatment and WOW.” The treatment she’s referring to is the No.3 PLUS Complete Repair Treatment from Olaplex, which is a newly reformatted version of its best-selling treatment which you can pick up for £32.

Compared to the original No 3 Hair Perfector Treatment , which needs to be left on for at least 10 minutes but ideally longer, the brand new No.3 PLUS Treatment gets to work in just three minutes. It also works on both the inside and outside of each hair strand, rather than just repairing the inside, and protects against future damage as well as repairing existing damage.
You can use it on all hair types, including bleached and coloured, and it requires no waiting around or lengthy extra steps. Instead, simply apply the No.3 PLUS Treatment to wet hair, leave it for three minutes, then rinse it out, shampoo and condition as usual.
It’s said to make hair instantly softer, stronger and healthier with just one use, and repairs all types of damage to hair. To get the best results, it’s recommended you use the Olaplex No.3 PLUS Treatment every one – three washes.
For something that’s said to work even more quickly, you can snap up the celeb-loved K18 Hair Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask for £30, which is a leave-in treatment that helps rapidly repair all kinds of hair damage and breakage. You could also try Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment which is now £24.30 down from £27
If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly recommendation, the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Bond Repair Pre-Shampoo Treatment has been slashed by 50%, bringing it down from £16.99 to £8.49. You simply apply it to your hair before shampooing and leave it for five minutes, before continuing the rest of your haircare routine.
However, Space NK shoppers have agreed with Zara, and praised the results from using Olaplex’s No.3 PLUS Complete Repair Treatment . One said: “My hair can be very dry and this has definitely made it feel softer each time I’ve used it. Enjoying this product so far and excited to see how my hair feels in the longer term after using for a longer period of time. Definitely a new product in my hair care rotation.”
Whilst another wrote: “This product is really quite amazing, I used to use the no.3 but it’s always just a pain to keep on for a long time but this one you only leave on 3 minutes and honestly my hair just felt so soft and nourished for about a week after! I got sent this as free product but will definitely be buying. It smells lovely and so easy to add into your wash.”
However one shopper wrote: “I had high expectations of this product as I use a number of olaplex products. But for me it did not deliver on what it promised. I suppose my hair looked a bit healthier but it did not add any shine or bounce. My hair is fine, coloured and menopausal so it’s a tricky customer, maybe it would work better on other hair types.”
However another said: “Have lots of thick curly hair and found the original no3 a little disappointing. First time I used this I noticed minimal difference, but the second time, after leaving it for 20 mins my hair was silky and very manageable (although with less curl definition). A little goes a long way!”
