No.5 Bond Maintenance® Conditioner

LOVE!

I love everything about this conditioner. The scent, the texture of my hair, and everything in between. Small amount goes a long way. It keeps my hair soft and shiny.

Smells AWFUL and causes acne

Smells like a stinky sweaty armpit so I had to add a perfume oil to it, and even a lot of that just gets overwhelmed by the gross smell. I haven't had any issues with hair loss and only use from my meds to ends as I use a scalp mask for oil and dandruff on my roots simultaneously. However I am breaking out terribly where my hair touches my face and neck. On top of this I haven't noticed any benefits to using this conditioner compared to even a cheap bottle of generic white conditioner which I use to touch up my fantasy hair colors. I have super strong low porosity hair that tends to resist even the strongest chemical treatments but decided to try this in hopes it would help bring my curls back after a med change but my hair now just looks straight and frizzy and poofy. Good for me but maybe bad for others, is it seemed to slow down my hair growth a bit so I can go longer between shaving my undercut (but I have to be careful and keep my hair off my neck to avoid breaking out now).

Holy grail leave in

This is my holy grail leave in conditioner. I set my curls with this before bed and work up with hydrated juicy curls. I love this product. No stickiness, no flaking, just hydrated soft gorgeous hair!

I just started using this conditioner since my hair has being very frizzy, dull and brittle! And from the first use i could already see a difference. Ive been spending lots of money on hair products and it seems this is the only brand that will suffice for me. Iam also pursuing to buy the no5 leave in treatment.

Do not recommend

I used both the shampoo and conditioner, and the shampoo made my hair fall out, when I stopped using it and consulted a dermatologist but still cannot figure out why when this had never happened before nor since, fallout stopped after I switch shampoos and threw out the shampoo but decided based on the cost to still use the condition on ends. I like the smell, but even the conditioner does not work for me. Hair feels broken and dry.

Hair Loss Reviews Are True

MASSIVE hair loss. I wish I realized this before it was too late. After using this for two weeks I noticed my hair felt a lot thinner and the ends are fried. I will be returning. There's also currently a lawsuit against Olaplex for this.

I love this conditioner. It's really hydrating and when I leave it in for awhile, I can feel it repairing my hair. It's an amazing formula.

Hair Loss

Used this product, the shampoo, and #6 smoother and my hair started to fall out. Not just the normal hair loss, a lot more hair. My ends of my hair became weak and thin and I had to cut off over 6” from my hair. I have never had a problem like this with hair products. Went back to Amika and happy now! My hairdresser advised that due to this problem with these products, she has stopped carrying Olaplex products.

So smooth

As someone with severely damaged hair, including split ends and significant dryness, I was eager to see if Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner could make a difference. While I knew I would eventually need a haircut, I hoped this conditioner could breathe some life into my hair. To be honest, it didn’t work miracles on my dry, brittle ends. They still look and feel damaged, and I can’t avoid that trim any longer. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked on the healthier parts of my hair. The mid-lengths and roots, which haven’t suffered as much damage, became noticeably smoother, softer, and more hydrated after just a few uses. The conditioner feels lightweight but effective, adding moisture without weighing my hair down or making it greasy. I can see why this product has such a strong following. It’s excellent for maintaining and enhancing my hair, keeping them looking nourished and glossy. If you’re looking to maintain the health of your hair, Olaplex No. 5 is definitely worth a try.

Excellent Hair Repair

As busy content creator and healthcare professional, I need to multi-task, and I love beauty/hair products that can do the same. This is a leave-in conditioner that really can do it all. I have combination, straight hair (oily at the roots, but very dry/damaged on the ends). As a first time Olaplex user, this product worked out very well for me. The pump with cap was easy to use and spill proof with a plug on the opening. I only needed 3-4 pumps for my waist length hair after shampooing. It allowed me to directly hydrate/nourish the dry areas of my hair, while sealing in damaged split ends like a nice treatment/mask. I really love the heat protection function too, because I use a flat iron almost every day. My hair looked very smooth, healthy and glassy after 1 use thanks to the hydroamino blend. I even loved the fresh minty/herbal fragrance it left in my hair. With this I can say good-bye to split for good.

Caused bald spots!

DO NOT PURCHASE THESE PRODUCTS! The only thing that I changed in my routine was adding Olaplex and after 2.5 - 3 months of usage, I now have bald spots! I decided to google this thinking I’d stumble across a reddit post, but instead I found that a class action lawsuit was attempted. Save your money and dermatologist co-pays (for steroid injections into your scalp), and purchase anything but these products.

Amazing

I got this product a couple weeks ago, and I love it so much. It works so well on my hair.
