Olaplex No 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner

Look at my results on unstyled hair before and after

I’ve only used this product once so far but I’m happy with the results, it doesn’t have much of a scent and I want to make the bottle last so I mixed it with a little of my regular conditioner on my hand just before putting it in my hair, and I only use conditioner on the lower part of my hair because I get oily hair if conditioner gets on top. I left it on while I shaved ect, and rinsed before getting out (I always do this). The green sweatshirt picture is before using Olaplex, the gray shirt is after using Olaplex, both pictures my hair is unstyled. The lighting is different though so I’m sure my hair isn’t actually more red lol just warmer lighting. I bought this because I’m about to go from years of box dye red to platinum in a salon and I don’t want my hair to suffer from all the processing. I’m very pleased with the results! The seal was loose when I opened the bottle which makes me skeptical about tampering, but it did a good job so far so I guess it could have just been a fluke. — claireRoxx<3 reviewed

It works

I am not one to get all hyper about products in fact I don’t usually spend 29 dollars what I paid at the time they dropped the price by 1 dollar since my purchase.I watch a lot of Guy Tang Vids. He’s such a wonderful hair dresser with a personality I would miss if he ever stopped posting Youtube videos. There he mentions Olaplex No.1 a tons along with others who do hair professionally. I bought this product because my hair was literally straw after bleaching stupidly my hair 2 times in 2 weeks and during the 2 weeks I tried splat color removal which failed to remove their own dye. it didn’t even take it down 1 color level. this worked great!!

what I did.
washed my hair as normal then I used my towel to get rid of the water from my hair. once done. I put small amounts of the Olaplex in my hair to coat it but not soak it this is thick stuff I do not believe it is meant to lather like you would a normal hair conditioner keep doing this till it’s spread through your hair. Less if more I say I left mine in for 4 minutes and rinsed.

By rights my hair should of broken

what people should be aware of is that this is not the solution if you want 100% No split ends. only cutting your split ends works. If you want the best Results you need Olaplex No.1 amazon only sells the kit which costs way more than the budget of someone who is low income. still either way None of these products will replace a Proper hair dresser.. do not buy this product thinking it will replace hair conditioner. — claireRoxx<3 reviewed

Small bottles big impact,

This stuff is amazing. I have very long hair and suffer from running out of shampoo and conditioner fast.. after using this stuff for a month my hair is as soft as butter! I have been very happy w both the shampoo and conditioner as well as the treatment. Just recieved my second bottles of olaplex and I almost never buy the same kind of shampoo over again. The bottles are small but this stuff goes so much further than reg shampo does. It suds up so well and req only a small amount.. and washes out well. The feeling left in your hair is not like product is left but it my hair feeling clean and light.. this product is amazing. I left a picture to show the size of the actual bottles next to a can of soda, also left a picture of the length of my hair to show that it lasted 1 month for me. — Dawn M Weber reviewed

So far so good.

I’ve used it three times so far. Love it. I have a lot of thin hair. I was worried it would too too heavy. The conditioner has made my hair look shiny, full and healthier. It feels like I have a protective armor on my hair. I may have to try the shampoo ! — Kerry reviewed

Made my damaged hair soft again!!!

Olaplex saved my dry damaged hair! As someone who has been regularly experimenting with hair color since childhood, it’s not hard to believe I’ve done some damage to my hair (it could be worse but I could have been kinder to it). I’m also allergic to just about every product you can imagine. Thank you to Olaplex for rescuing my frizzy dry and split hair and giving it back its shine, even after I dye/bleach m it over and over and over again! (I use the whole system) ! Trust me! Best thing you’ll ever do!! — J_Port reviewed

Olaplex must have for those who relax and color their hair

Olapex is an amazing product. I recommend you use all three Olaplex 3, 4 and 5. My hair is transforming from the first time I used these products. Protects and strengthens the hair. My hair is no longer breaking and every time I use it my hair is just getting better. My hair has shine and strength. Love this product. Highly recommend. — Kitten reviewed

Kinda magical hair repair

Olaplex No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner is a product that was suggested to me by my stylist after my hair started to get super dry following processing to lighten it. She used the salon products (1/2) and I left the salon feeling silky, but due to hard water, my hair quickly went back to a straw-like consistency. Olaplex No.5 along with No.6 leave-in saved my hair!

My hair is naturally dark brown, but in January I decided to let my silver come in and to stop coloring my hair. I let my hair grow our about 1″ and then my stylist suggested we lighten the remaining hair (I was hoping to avoid looking like a Calico cat), followed by a darker toner to soften the line of demarcation. Out of the salon, my hair looked fabulous, but a day or two later, back to straw.

I purchased this No.5 conditioner from my stylist and after using it for the first time (leaving it on for 5 minutes in the shower after shampooing with a moisturizing shampoo of another brand) both my scalp and hair felt refreshed. I put on some No.6 leave-in on my towel-dried hair and styled as usual. The results were immediate.

I now use No.5 about every other shampoo (using a deep conditioner when not using this product), using it every time after using any purple shampoos which are particularly drying to my hair and tend to irritate my scalp.

My hair using Olaplex No.5 is softer, smoother and appears more shiny and conditioned. It remains frizz-free, which is not easy to accomplish as I also have naturally curly hair which I tend to flat iron most days, and soft to the touch for a day or two after using this product.

My hair is above my shoulders and I can get away with using about a dime-sized amount of this conditioner to do my whole head and scalp. The product is very concentrated and works through damp or wet hair easily. The scent is mild and very pleasant. I’ve had no irritation to my scalp using this product.

It should be noted that this is no ordinary conditioner. It repairs the hair bonds on the cuticle to produce a smoother cuticle (outside of individual hair shafts). This makes your fuzzy, dry hair appear smoother, shinier, and healthier and makes it much easier to attain a beautiful style.

Expensive? Yes.

Worth it? Yes!

Do without it? No.

If you have normal, healthy hair you probably don’t need to use this product. But if you have processed hair that is fuzzy and dry or breakage that seems never-ending, give this one a try. It’s gentle and effective, with a little going a long way. — Amazon Customer reviewed

Least favorite item in Olaplex regime but repeated use has proven me WRONG!

I love No. 6 and the Olaplex shampoo products but the result from this conditioner were less than stellar. I used quite a bit of product in my shoulder-length hair and, yes, my hair was soft but was it shiny–NO! There is also something very unrelaxing about being in the shower and having a rule of leave in time 3 minutes.

Def. not a repeat buy for me but still in love with No. 4 and No. 6. No. 3 was okay but a huge time investment for just an okay result.

After a few weeks of use, the above review is hastily written and not true! Results improved with age and repeated usage. My best result was watering down that very thick product and using much much less. My strongest criticism was the thick gooeyness of the conditioner that just needs to be thinned out and watered down (ahem, hint hint).

So I was wrong. I’m loving it and rate it right up there with No. 6. (No. 3 not really a fave nor is the shampoo) — Andrea Polk reviewed

THIS PRODUCT WORKS!!!

Olaplex is the best conditioner I have ever used, period. I have medium length fine hair that is highlighted. I have struggled with breakage for years and unable to grow the hair around my face past my chin due to the damaging effects of coloring it. This is a very thick, concentrated conditioner so don’t be concerned about the small bottle and the cost. They did not add water to create a bigger bottle. I use it every time after I wash my hair and leave it on for 4-5 minutes in the shower. It instantly detangles and smooths the cuticle. The science behind the product is proven in the results! I wish they would come out with a leave-in version to protect hair from styling. — dogsbody reviewed

BEST SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER LINE

My hairdresser has always used Opalex on my hair, but I had no idea they made shampoo and conditioner. My hair is so oily after 1 day that I usually have to put so much dry shampoo in it to make it last until day 2 and 3, I’ve used the Olaplex shampoo and conditioner 2x now and my hair is barley greasy by day 3! Its seriously life changing! I’ve used everything from Redken, to Joico, and Pureology and Matrix, and while those are amazing brands nothing compares. A little expensive for a smaller bottle than most but worth the $$$$$$ — Zoe reviewed

Great for achieving shiny, silky manageable hair

Yes!! My dry, brittle, toned, highlighted hair with lots of breakage took very well to this conditioner. I didn’t need to use that much product to achieve results either. I’ve been using so many other products before this one and having to overcompensate the amount of the other products used to still end up with dry brittle hair. Not with this product. At first I was wondering… I mean it is a small bottle for the price. I applied this conditioner to my hair after shampooing and let it stay on my head for a while. I put on a hoodie sweatshirt with the hood tied securely and walked the dog. I would say the conditioner was on for about twenty minutes and then rinsed it out with cool water. I let my hair air dry and added a small amount of split end mender product to the ends and gently combed through my hair. My hair dried and actually has shine to it and is soft. My reacted well to a first time condition with Olaplex. I will update after a few more times conditioning with this product to see if my hair continues to improve. — Zoe reviewed

Love it, You won’t believe it!

I really wish my photo could demonstrate more what this product did to me in one wash. I have frizzy, damaged, split ends, And fine hair I read so many good things. My mother and sister in law told me to buy this at Sephora and I though I would check amazon. Here it was! I used No.3,No.4,No.5,No.6. I followed directions off the bottle and I got my results. My hair is soft and not jagged. I style my hair often and use a lot of products. So I wash everyday. I truly believe this will save me if I keep going. My hair was dry, dull, flaky and now there is shine without the oily feel. I have an oily scalp so I didn’t buy No.7 but I’m reconsidering. This was easy to use and a lot of product for what you really need. It’s a good price match for something that actually works! My split ends are smooth, for real. I highly recommend to go whole package effort on this brand of product and get it all — Amazon Customer reviewed

Color treated hair with bleached highlights is soft and shiny

I think the proper word to describe this conditioner is perfection. My hair is color treated with bleached highlights and after a while, I got tired of feeling the stringiness and looking permanently frizzed out. Tried different shampoos and conditioners and nothing worked. Tried this conditioner yesterday and I could immediately feel my hair go from stringy of silky smooth as I worked it through. Rinsed it out and was able to brush my hair for the first time without any hair serum. This morning, my hair was noticeably shiny, super soft, and less frizzy. I have never found anything like this before. This product went above my expectations and I’m never using anything else but this from now on. Price is somewhat above what I would’ve wanted to pay, but well worth what you get out of it. — Anais Martinez reviewed

Actually repairs split ends

My hair stylist recommended this because she said it is the only product that actually helps repair split ends. You’ll notice the results after a few days. Your hair will feel stronger, healthier, and grow faster! After I started using this for a few weeks, I had to travel and switched to a travel size shampoo and conditioner, I noticed the change in my hair immediately. This will be my forever hair care product!! — JR24 reviewed

My hair feels amazing with just one use

I love this product so much I just ordered the #4.
I only used once and my hair feels softer and shiny.
I did not ordered the #4 on Amazon due to the reviews stating it may be a fake one. I was going to order from the company directly but Sephora also carries this line. Same price! — molly reeves reviewed

Olaplex is life changing

So it doesn’t take much, and you don’t get a lot for the price, you really have to teach yourself that more doesn’t necessarily mean better results. But the olaplex line has changed my life and my hair is naturally dark dyed platinum blonde and I have no damage. I get 1 and 2 at the salon when it’s bleached and dyed, I use 3 about once a month, 4 and 5 every three days and 6 after every wash or to touch up dry ends. — Maria Sanchez reviewed

Worth the Purchase

I dont normally bother leaving reviews but this stuff was so amazing it inspired me to leave one.
After chemically processing my hair i was having a nightmare after showers, it was breaking, brittle, dry, just very hard to deal with. I spent so much money on masks, leave in conditioners, etc…
After doing a bunch of searches on google this stuff kept on coming up so i figured I’d try it.
I was so impressed, exceeded expectations… i dont even have to use additional products after im out of the shower… mind blowing. Incredible. Smells great. Worth the price, double even.
THANK YOU so much Olapex, literally saved my life. This stuff is amazing. Highly recommend. — Matthew Alderman reviewed

Unexpectedly wowed

I have had stylists who have used Olaplex treatment on my hair post-processing but I never noticed a major difference in my hair health until using this Conditioner. I only use sulfate-free products- I normally use Nexxus Conditioner on my ends but it has been causing sebum buildup now that winter is over so I decided to switch products for summer. I used a high-end salon shampoo on my roots, rinsed, then left the Olaplex on for 3 min (concentrating on the ends). A little bit goes a long way. People always say that but it’s true this time- it’s creamy and thick, not runny. My hair is softer that it’s felt in a LONG time and looks virgin. THANK YOU! — kristina reviewed

Extremely impressed!!! ????

WOW!!! I have used probably hundreds of shampoos and conditioners over the course of my life and I have never ran across one that was amazing on every level! I have very thin, brittle, frizzy, color treated hair. I also wash my hair at least every to every other day and use hot tools regularly. I’ve now used the Olaplex Shampoo and Conditioner several times and cannot say enough about it. I have never had a shampoo or conditioner make my hair feel so silky smooth even while washing or rinsing my hair out while in the shower! My hair usually feels rough and fried even after washing my hair out. For the first time in my life, my hair felt amazing even in the shower! I also normally end up with tons of tangles while trying to brush it out and that is the exact opposite of what happens now. My brush just falls through my wet hair… no tangles at all!! After blow drying my hair and straightening it, my hair feels like silk!!! It has started to feel a little heavier and healthier! It is shiny and I have a whole lot less fly aways! I am hoping that by having much healthier hair, it may actually grow! I think I may have found my forever shampoo and conditioner! I’m in love! Believe the hype and just buy it! You will not regret it!!! — Marnie Wade reviewed

This stuff is amazing!

After chemo my new hair growth has been in very bad shape. I’ve tried more conditioners than I can count but this one is by far the best. It’s a little expensive but a little goes a long way. I’ve used it with the shampoo and repairing treatment and my hair looks and feels so much better. If it works so great on chemo hair I’m sure it’s even better on healthy hair! — Marnie Wade reviewed

LOVE this stuff!

My hair stylist used this to wash my hair after my every other month color treatment and WOW, what a difference! She didn’t have any extra in stock, so I ordered from Amazon. This condition is amazing. You only need a small amount as it is super concentrated. My hair hasn’t felt this good in over ten years. I have been able to go a day in between washings with using the shampoo and conditioner. My hair is curly and frizzes up very easy. However, since I have been using this for a little over a week now, I haven’t had any problems with frizz. It styles the way I want it to which is amazing to me. My hair feels healthy again. LOVE IT! Highly recommended. — AnneTally reviewed

Great! Nice smell! Also, silicone isn’t necessarily bad!

I’ve only used this once so far and my hair is already feeling stronger, healthier, and softer. I was worried about the smell at first because it says there is no smell, but a “small” smell so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was hoping for something that smells good because I didn’t want no smell. But I didn’t need to worry at all because it smells great, it smells like fresh clean hair, I don’t know how else to describe it lol but it has a great smell that isn’t to strong but is not nonexistent either. Honestly though it smelled a bit strange while in the shower but smells perfectly fine out of the shower.

Also, I’m not sure about the silicone reviews or if this product even has silicone in it or not but if it does it doesn’t matter because silicone does not harm your hair! Look it up! It does build up over time though which is the problem, but it’s an easy fix because all you have to do is buy a cleansing shampoo to use every once in a while to get all the product buildup out of your hair.

Great product overall! — Makadamia reviewed

BEST HAIR PRODUCT

Ive always had very thick, dried and fried hair. That never stopped me from dying or bleaching it. I’ve tried everything out there and nothing has ever made my hair feel this beautiful and soft. I had red hair at the time and wanted to go back to blond. The red is so hard to get out, I ended up frying my hair more then ever before to where my hair was literally falling out. Someone told me about this product, I bought it and it did absolutely wonders to my hair. My hair has never felt so soft and moisturized. Now I use it for my everyday wash and use the bond maintenance weekly. — Catherine reviewed

The miracle hair product

Let me tell you about my hair and me. I am 47 years old and I refuse to turn gray . I color my hair like once a month . Not cuz I want to. I have too. So last weekend I colored my hair but before I colored it . I stripped my hair so I can get one solid color. I stripped it , colored it and OMG… I overprocessed my hair . It looked like as I stuck my finger in a light socket . This put me really in a deep depression. I googled online ” best shampoo for over processed hair “. And this was the first option . It brought me to amazon . I can’t afford for all 3 products. But I didnt want to be raggedy Ann either. I broke down and brought all 3. Shampoo , conditioner , and bondage repair . I have been using this for a week and my hair has took. 100% turn .I used all three and then after I blow dry it. I use biosilk at the end before I use my hair straightener. I wish it came in bigger bottles. I’m in absolute love ! The scent is light … — Jennifer Sledd reviewed

Heals, Thickens, Repairs Hair & Gives Back Natural Sheen

One of the best conditioners I’ve ever used to heal my hair. I had an allergic reaction to my previous conditioner, as it had an ingredient in it that wasn’t listed in the ingredient list. That fried my hair.
So I asked a hair stylist friend what my best option was & she recommended this product, & boy does it work! It immediately started moisturizing & healing my hair follicles, as well as strengthening them & thickening them. My hair is so healthy & sheen! I’ve been using the product for about a month now, (1-2 times a week,) & just had to to in for a haircut today because my hair healed & became BETTER & thicker than it was before!!! So thankful for this great product. And it smells so nice, too. — Cheryl Brigham reviewed

Steep price! But regardless I love the product & highly recommend it

I just love this brand! Keeps my hair healthy and shines ( not oily shine but natural shine ). Hair stays silky smooth. Looks great and helps keep hair frizz away! My hair lady says my hair is stronger and fuller. She didn’t recommend the product so I told her what I used and now it’s a staple in her salon! My kids use it as well with the same results! Price is steep though. But still highly recommend — Haddi reviewed

Hair Saver

I love this product and this is my 4th use and I see a tremendous difference in the decrease in breakage. I am seeing new growth around my edges. I love it so much that it will be a permanent staple in my hair care regime. I have very thin and short hair, from dieting, so I feel the 8.5 oz size will last me a long time and I use a very generous amount when I apply it. It spreads throughout my hair with a lot of slip that it don’t take a lot to coat my hair so I wouldn’t be alarmed at the size for the money. It will go a long way. — Monica Perez reviewed

Overpriced on Amazon but VERY GOOD FOR HAIR

I got this during a panic session that bleach was killing my hair and I needed protein ASAP. This is priced about twice as much as at Sephora FYI, but it does work very well. It gives moisture as well as rebuilds the hair once you bleach it to where it looks creepy and stringy when it is wet (ick!). Next time though I will get it elsewhere because $28 is much better than $45….oops… — Julie J reviewed
