Olaplex Bond Maintenance No. 5 Conditioner 250 ml

I've been using the @olaplex system for a few weeks now. I have super thick, curly, unmanagable hair. I've been looking for a cruelty free line of products that can smooth, handle my split ends, style, and repair my hair from so much past damage. After a huge chop and brand new style, I invested in continuing the repair and nurishment of my hair. And WHAT A DIFFERENCE! By now (a month post hair cut and color), my hair would typcially be frizzy and unmanagable. i would have dry split ends and would get a sleek style. I am amazed by how the olaplex system has treated my hair. It feels soft, it's managable to style, and it feels and looks gloriously healthy! I've even begun to use it on my daughters hair , whom in her 6 years of life has never had a haircut. Her ... MoreI've been using the @olaplex system for a few weeks now.

I've even begun to use it on my daughters hair , whom in her 6 years of life has never had a haircut. Her natural curl is restoring, and her tangles and frizz are less as well! I started with the #hairrepairtreatmentkit and added sytling and smoothing products from there. I've struggled with my hair for my entire life, so this recommendation of the product doesn't come lightly.

I have been using the entire olaplex line for about 6 months. Before my hair was literal straw, and I lost my curl pattern over the years due to going back and fourth from dyeing it light to dark. This shampoo saved my hair. BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU BEED TO BE MINDFUL OF EVERYONE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT WHAT IM ABOUT TO SAY NEXT. Once the olaplex has done its job, and healed your hair after a couple of months, it’s going to feel a bit dry. It’s going to get tangled easily. This is how you know the product has done its job, and it’s time to switch to a HYDRATING shampoo & conditioner & treatment. I’m currently switching over to AMIKA hydro-rush line.

Basically, once the olaplex has done its job, you’re going to have to give your hair a break after a while, and give it some TLC focusing on that hydration rather than focusing on color/damage the way you did with olaplex. I really recommend this product if you feel lost on your hair journey, want that natural hair texture back, just please be mindful this is not a LONG TERM hair line. You HAVE to put thought and care into your hair routine. Treat your hair as needed. Thank you olaplex for saving my hair.

A little goes a long way

I have recently been replacing my hair care items with Olaplex as they run out, and I’m not disappointed. I have very long, fine (but lots of it) heavily foiled blonde hair. It is prone to damage but I do all I can to keep it healthy. Since using Olaplex numbers 4-8 my hair has felt absolutely amazing. It truly has never felt better. If you are only going to invest in one product, the one that will make the most difference in my opinion is the No 8 mask. The conditioner is lovely and makes my hair so soft and looks so healthy. It is very concentrated, so you don’t need much. I use a dollop about the size of a 20 cent piece. What is hard to get used to is not absolutely slathering your hair with conditioner. I used to coat my hair up so it was all goopy like seaweed. ... MoreI have recently been replacing my hair care items with Olaplex as they run out, and I’m not disappointed.

But you don’t need to do that with this product to get amazing results. I like to smooth the conditioner over my mid lengths and ends and then scrunch it in (like you would if you have curly hair.) That way it really absorbs into the hair. A little goes a long way, so even though this is a more expensive product, it is lasting me a lot longer than my previous hairdresser brand.

Amazing!

The Olaplex range makes more of a difference to my hair than any other brand ever, and I’ve tried most of the ones sold in hair dressers - Kerastase, Davines etc and the other higher end products in search of the holy grail of smooth, shiny hair. The conditioner really helps with making my hair smoother and less frizzy. I have loads of wavy, fine hair which can go dry and frizzy very easily, but this stuff helps to create smooth waves if I leave it to air dry or just better condition hair if I dry it straight. The big thing is though, and I didn’t like the range at first as was using it incorrectly, you hardly need any product at all. It is very concentrated. It was initially weighing my hair down and I didn’t get the hype.

Leave the bottle upside down (it’s a very nice thick consistency) and use the measured amount that comes out. It really strengthens the hair.

I noticed a positive difference

I purchased the Olaplex Bond Maintenance Essentials Set when there was a sale at Lovely Skin. I had heard about this product from my hairdresser. I recently started using another high end hair care system and I wanted to add this line into my regimen. There is a difference that I notice after using the Olaplex 3, 4, and 5 as directed. My hair seemed fuller. I have fine straight hair and I am letting it grow out longer. The ends of my hair seemed stronger and less wispy after I used the Olaplex. I plan to alternately use this Olaplex set a couple of times a month, rotating it with my other quality shampoo and conditioner products. The No 3 needs to be put onto wet towel dried hair and left on for 10 minutes and rinsed off before using the No 4 shampoo.

The No 3 needs to be put onto wet towel dried hair and left on for 10 minutes and rinsed off before using the No 4 shampoo. It's an extra step, but it works for me when I plan accordingly. A little goes a long way and I only needed to shampoo once verses twice as with other shampoos, followed by the No 5 conditioner which stays on 2-3 minutes. My hair felt very healthy after I dried it. I wash my hair every 3 days. I like that this system does not weigh down my hair or make it flatten out.

I only use this brand! It saved my hair!

I only use their bond maintenance shampoo and container and it only takes a quarter sized amount and I have long hair! I also use the cream and bonding oil for after the shower before I blow dry and style my hair. I also have their treatment being the No. 0 spray and the No.3 cream and they go together as a leave in mask before showering. I had hair that wouldn't grow I. Places and would literally break off tiny pieces of hair in my hands when I would touch it and I wasn't even applying heat to it at that point. A friend of mine that owns a salon recommended Olaplex and I can't use anything else! I know it's pricey but I have long hair and my fiancé has long hair and we both use it and it lasts for over 6 Months. You don't need to use a ton.

They say to put two fingers around all your hair and however thick/thin it is, is how much shampoo or conditioner you use which is about a quarter size amount. The shampoo is so nice and thick so a little goes such a long way! These products have saved my hair! I never leave reviews unless something has really changed something for me and done what it's supposed too and this is a game changer!

Negative 5 stars

Negative stars should be a thing. I thought that the people who had issues with this product were using it wrong, or doing something else that would make their hair fall out. It must have been *them* that was the problem, I had been using it awhile with no issues. Fast forward to today. My formerly thick (but color treated) hair has thinned out about 60%. You can see my scalp, my neck, and my shirt through what’s left of my hair. I followed the directions to the letter, I didn’t “sleep in #3” like so many people assume victims of this product thing. Anyways if you care about your hair and don’t want to risk crying over handfuls of breakage (which I’ve never had, even when I was overlapping on scalp bleach 20 years ago) bald spots, scalp dermatitis and sores, don’t ... MoreNegative stars should be a thing.

My dermatologist hasn’t been able to prove the horrific cysts of acne on the back of my neck and hairline are olaplex yet, but she’s pretty suspicious that it is, due to not reacting to antibiotics, and it only started *after* I started using olacrap. Just wanted to leave this out in the open for anyone who might have these issues and not realize it’s this garbage we chose to put on our hair, and for people like me who previously thought the naysayers were just using it wrong. I can read the directions and follow them just fine- it’s this awful product. Before and after pictures, 3 months apart.

This product ruined my hair.

After hearing all the positive reviews on Tiktok and social media I decided to give the Olaplex hair repair, shampoo and conditioner a try. It was the BIGGEST MISTAKE of my life. My hormones and vitamins are balanced nor do I have any health issues, and I was not going through immense shedding. I got these products to start my hair care journey and make it look better and healthier. After the first three weeks of using it, my hair was shedding like never before, with clumps of hair falling in the shower and in bed, with no exaggeration I emphasize how an unusual amount of my hair strands fall anywhere I walk by or even sitting. My scalp is now visible and my hair is thinning. I was confused because I thought what could possibly be causing this, I did another blood ... MoreAfter hearing all the positive reviews on Tiktok and social media I decided to give the Olaplex hair repair, shampoo and conditioner a try.

I was confused because I thought what could possibly be causing this, I did another blood test and everything was fine with me, the only thing that changed in my routine was my hair care. That is when I knew Olaplex was damaging my hair. I realized before it was too late to save my hair. I literally cried because this product ruined my hair.

Very disappointed with my products, send ppl refund not change the problem

I was using olaplex for 4 months the shampoo and conditioner set, first week everything was good shine hair and soft. But a month ago I’m noticing that my hair is falling like a waterfall I had a anxious attack at least 2 times and leave my shower crying because of this. Im not using any other product in the middle, I’m not having vitamins problem, and I never had covid. All this things they say in a email saying that can cause hair fall, not they product, but we can see that a lot ppl are having the SAME problem. I’m not looking for my money back, because this not gonna chance anything. I just hope that Olaplex can understand us like costumers and see that something need be chance in the formula. I get marry in 1 month and my hair is horrible, no life and at least ... MoreI was using olaplex for 4 months the shampoo and conditioner set, first week everything was good shine hair and soft.

I get marry in 1 month and my hair is horrible, no life and at least 30% of hair in my head. I already stopped using any product, and my dermatologist is helping me figure out. I would like to upload my hair pictures for you guys see.

WILL NEVER BE CANCELLED.

where have you been my entire life? I have very thick course hair and I love it long. I also have a lot of gray in my roots so it gets wiry, and lets not omit the part where I insist my hairstylist texturized and razors my hair (she fights me every single time) for layers and thinning purposes. It is literally a recipe for hair trauma. I have jumped from brand to brand....some inexpensive but mostly the most expensive trying every one that says "repair, hydrate, bonding". Lets not forget no one really likes first and second day hair so all the products I add to give me third day hair is also added into the mix. Long story short? This is the first time my hair is happy, shiny and NOT weighed down or fly away. I only wash my hair once a week so the clarifying shampoo ... Morewhere have you been my entire life?

This is the first time my hair is happy, shiny and NOT weighed down or fly away. I only wash my hair once a week so the clarifying shampoo is perfect for not only buildup but scalp health. I have used both shampoo and conditioner twice and by the second time the results are STUNNING. I now have salon worthy blowouts in my own home. My hair is SHINY. It's healthy and it smells amazing. I will never ever use anything other than this shampoo set again. Well done!!!!
