What the Lawsuit Alleges

From 2023, 100+ consumers sued Olaplex alleging its hair products — including the flagship Bond treatments — caused hair loss, scalp burns, brittleness and allergic dermatitis linked to ingredients like lilial. A separate 2024 case alleged Olaplex falsely labeled products 'Made in USA.' The hair-damage class action was denied certification; the 'Made in USA' suit settled in July 2025 for $5 vouchers.

Case Details

Hair-damage case: Albahae v. Olaplex Holdings, C.D. California (filed Feb. 9, 2023; dismissed July 2023). 'Made in USA' settlement: Atamian v. Olaplex — final approval July 11, 2025.

Current Status

The hair-damage class action is closed — certification was denied in July 2023 and the lead plaintiff dismissed her case. The 'Made in USA' settlement received final approval on July 11, 2025 ($5 vouchers mailed ~October 2025) and is now closed. No active Olaplex hair-injury class action or MDL exists as of 2026, though individual claims remain possible.

Who Is Affected & Can You Join?

For the 'Made in USA' settlement (now closed): U.S. purchasers of Olaplex products labeled 'Made in USA' between Feb 7, 2019 and Sept 6, 2024. For potential individual hair-damage claims: anyone who used Olaplex and suffered documented hair loss, scalp burns or dermatitis should consult a personal-injury attorney.

Is There a Payout?

The 'Made in USA' settlement paid a $5 Olaplex voucher per claimant (deadline May 12, 2025 — now passed). No compensation fund exists for hair-damage claims — that class action failed certification and was dismissed. Individual lawsuits would need to be filed and won separately.

Case Timeline

  1. 1

    Feb 9, 2023 — Hair-Damage Lawsuit Filed

    Albahae v. Olaplex is filed naming 28 (later 100+) plaintiffs alleging hair loss, scalp burns and allergic reactions linked to ingredients including lilial.

  2. 2

    July 2023 — Class Action Denied

    The court denies certification, ruling injuries varied too much across products and individuals to proceed collectively.

  3. 3

    July 24, 2023 — Lead Plaintiff Dismisses

    The sole remaining plaintiff voluntarily dismisses without prejudice, effectively ending the hair-damage litigation.

  4. 4

    April 2024 — 'Made in USA' Suit Filed

    Atamian v. Olaplex alleges products were falsely labeled 'Made in USA' when components were manufactured abroad.

  5. 5

    July 11, 2025 — 'Made in USA' Final Approval

    The court approves the settlement; valid claimants (deadline May 12, 2025) receive a $5 Olaplex voucher, distributed ~October 2025.

Scam & Misinformation Warnings

Whenever a brand lawsuit goes viral, scam sites and bad actors follow. Watch for these red flags:

Fake 'Olaplex Settlement' Forms

The only real settlement (Made in USA) is closed and vouchers distributed. Any site advertising an open Olaplex hair-damage settlement claim form is misleading — no such fund exists.

Hair-Damage Solicitations

Some attorneys still solicit Olaplex hair-damage clients. Individual claims are theoretically possible, but there is no active class action or MDL to join — federal consolidation was rejected. Verify carefully before retaining counsel.

Exaggerated Payout Promises

No Olaplex settlement ever paid cash for hair injuries; the only settlement paid a $5 store voucher for labeling. 'Up to $X,000' claims do not reflect any real outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Olaplex hair-loss lawsuit still active in 2026?

No. The 2023 hair-damage class action was denied certification and the lead plaintiff dismissed her case. No new hair-injury class action or MDL has been certified as of 2026.

Was there ever an Olaplex settlement?

Yes — but not for hair damage. Olaplex settled a separate 'Made in USA' false-advertising case in July 2025, paying eligible buyers a $5 voucher. The claim deadline (May 12, 2025) has passed.

Can I still sue Olaplex for hair damage?

Potentially, as an individual claim, though no class action exists. You'd need to show a specific product caused your specific injury. Consult a personal-injury attorney — time limits may apply.

Which ingredients were alleged to cause harm?

The 2023 suit pointed to lilial (a known contact allergen, later EU-banned) and other sensitizers alleged to cause scalp dermatitis and hair loss.

Why was the class action denied?

The court ruled the 100+ plaintiffs' claims didn't arise from the same transaction — different products, durations and injuries made a class action inappropriate.

Did Olaplex recall any products?

No. Olaplex removed lilial from its formulas in 2022 (ahead of an EU ban) but issued no formal recall and maintains its products are safe.

What was the 'Made in USA' lawsuit about?

Filed in April 2024, it alleged Olaplex labeled products 'Made in USA' when key components were sourced or made overseas. It settled in 2025 for a $5 voucher per claimant.

Separate from this case: were you injured in the last 2 years?

Class-action payouts are fixed amounts through an administrator. A personal injury claim is a different case — and often worth far more. Free estimate, no obligation.
