Sephora Hair Care Olaplex Class Action Overview:
- Who: Hair product manufacturer Olaplex is being sued by customers who claim one of its products contains a dangerous chemical, and Sephora Canada is being sued for selling it.
- Why: The class action lawsuit alleges Olaplex failed to inform its customers of the serious health risks associated with the ingredient.
- Where: The recall is nationwide.
An Olaplex hair care product sold at Sephora is at the center of a new class action lawsuit that alleges the company did not tell consumers it contains a “dangerous chemical.”
In the class action lawsuit filed against Sephora Canada and Olaplex Mar. 3 in the Superior Court of Quebec, consumers allege that Olaplex No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector contains a chemical with serious health risks.
According to the Olaplex class action lawsuit, the Olaplex No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector, which was sold at Sephora, contains butylphenyl methylpropional (lilial).
Olaplex failed to inform its customers of the “serious health risks” associated with the ingredient, the class action lawsuit alleges. It states that side effects of exposure to lilial include allergies and potentially even infertility.
According to court documents, the company only admitted to being conscious of the risks linked to lilial on Feb. 28, 2022.
Sephora Kept Selling Olaplex Containing Lilial, Plaintiffs Allege
Olaplex says, since then, the chemical has been removed from the hair care product globally.
However, the lawsuit alleges Sephora Canada continues to sell Olaplex No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector containing lilial.
The consumers are looking to represent anyone who purchased Olaplex No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector containing Butylphenyl Methylpropional (lilial) in Canada.
They’re seeking punitive damages in the amount of $10 million and refunds for each consumer who bought the product for around $43 including tax per bottle.
Last year, a woman claimed that TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shampoo products lead to scalp irritation, blistering, swelling, dry hair and even significant hair loss.

I have experienced hair loss, bald spots and brittle hair from using Olaplex products. When I used #1 my head blistered.
I was excited to start this product. My stylist questioned what I was doing differently bc my hair was breaking off and was extremely dry. I am faithful to seeing my stylist every 4-6 weeks She advised me to use only once a month in small amount with my normal products bc my hair felt damaged. And she was scared to even foil my hair bc it was breaking off so bad. This was something I’ve never experienced. My head itched and noticed significant hair loss. Once I went back to my normal regiment my hair has just started feeling healthier. I was in the middle of figuring out this was the problem when I seen others were having similar problems.
I have major hair loss and my hair used to be thick! It’s awful I have pictures as well and causing bald places on my head !
I have been using Olaplex 1-9 for almost a year and recently having bald spots and hair loss. Its started to get noticeable so I went to the dermatologist to get some steroids shot. I have photos of my bald spots and also I still have some Olaplex products which I will stop using from now on. Please add me to the list.
I have pictures of my bald spots as well from using all the olaplex hair products. How do I go about joining the lawsuit. Actually a license hairdresser purchased the products for me.
Been buying Olaplex 2. 3. 4. 6 & 7 on a recommendation from my hair stylist for the past 2 years. Noticed that my hair was becoming very brittle and looked frayed everywhere! I didn’t blame the product, I continued to use it thinking it would repair whatever was going on this my hair….nope. So sad to hear that all this time I thought I was using a product that would eventually repair continue to damage my hair. Sad.
All my hair. Broke off did not.know Why. So I keep useing this product to try to improve it. I was wrong. Till it was about. 1/2 inch. From. My scalp.
Add me to the list Olaplex. I had blisters after using
Please add me to the list. My hair became extremely thin and kept falling out.
I am experiencing hair breakage, it started out as a small section and and since gotten worse, this all started when I purchased/ used Olapelx. Please add me to this class action lawsuit !

Same here! Ugh! I’ve been using it for about 2-3 months and just started noticing the thinning hair and irregular hair pattern it is creating. I only have used Olaplex and have washed 3-4 x per week. So frustrating, embarrassing, and disappointing.
Same! I thought I might have cancer or need supplements due to lack of. I kept telling friends and family what I was going through but never associated it to Olaplex, now it all makes sense since I stopped, no more hair loss with It’s a 10 products.

I have been using Olaplex and it was advertised to nourish and hydrate hair. It left my hair completely dry with breakage with bald patches around my hairline. I had to cut my hair and I still need to let it grow and cut more off . It’s continuing to break off.
My hair completely broke off and damaged my hair to the extent that my shoulder length hair broke off and it looked like I had bangs. I had no idea what had happened and was using Olaplex. I’m still trying to grow it. I was furious on what it has done to my hair and I have pictures to prove it
Please add me. I have been using these products for over two years and have suffered hair loss and terrible hair breakage.
I started using Olaplex 3 in January and have only used it several times . I have bald spots and blisters on my scalp . I started researching and found this .
add me, I’ve been using for four months and my hair is thinner and falling out , unmanageable. it destroyed my gorgeous hair 🙁
