Olaplex No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner 1000ml

I saw some leaving bad reviews for Olaplex and felt compelled to write my own experience. I have been using all the Olaplex products for years and they're the best. I fried my hair bleaching it and Olaplex helped me keep what hair I had left and allowed the new hair to grow in healthy despite being exposed to harsh and dry outdoor conditions. I don't know why some are having issues. Bleaching will absolutely blister your scalp and cause bald patches and breakage. No amount of olaplex or any other product can completely fix that. And there are some people who have allergies they may not be aware of to specific ingredients that a majority of people have no issue with. Everyone's hair is different. I have a lot of allergies and very fine hair that is thinning due to ... MoreI saw some leaving bad reviews for Olaplex and felt compelled to write my own experience.

I have a lot of allergies and very fine hair that is thinning due to PCOS and autoimmune. I have had many high end hair products, more expensive than Olaplex cause blisters and rashes on my scalp, shoulders and back. I didn't leave bad reviews or join a lawsuit. I just accepted it was my own personal reaction.

I maintain lavender hair so go to the salon every couple of months to lighten my roots only. I've been doing this for literally years. This year the only change was Ulta started carrying Olaplex shampoo and conditioner. I started using it once every couple weeks but since the bottles said it could be used daily, once I ran out often other shampoo and conditioner, I started using this more often. I'd use it once or twice a week. I started noticing some very bad breakage around the crown of my head, so of course thinking my hair needed more help I started using this almost daily. Recently I read reviews and realized others have had breakage using this so I mentioned it to my stylist. She said it could be due to "over proteinizing"? Anyway, this smells great but ... MoreI maintain lavender hair so go to the salon every couple of months to lighten my roots only. I've been doing this for literally years.

Anyway, this smells great but basically gave me a mullet. Do not use this every day, especially if you process your hair. My hair was VERY healthy before using Olaplex. I don't overprocess, just lighten my roots routinely. I'm so upset and disappointed with this stuff. But hey, at least it smells good. I'll go back to Verb Ghost and Redken.

I had gotten my hair lighten by an Ulta Stylist, she did an Olaplex conditioning treatment as well. When I left I felt my hair very dry and rough. I thought maybe it's just from the bleach. I went back few weeks later for another toner. She used olaplex as before and again my hair felt super dry and this time felt matted underneath. Again, I thought maybe it's from the toner. Since I had to wait longer to get my highlights I bought the No. 5 Bond conditioner along with the No.4P blonder enhancer. The first wash I lost a lot of hair in the shower and my hair felt matted underneath after I got out and brushed my hair. I was so hopeful it would get better but the second time I washed I lost chunks of hair. I immediately stopped using it and went back to my normal ... MoreI had gotten my hair lighten by an Ulta Stylist, she did an Olaplex conditioning treatment as well.

I was so hopeful it would get better but the second time I washed I lost chunks of hair. I immediately stopped using it and went back to my normal shampoo. When I washed again with my regular shampoo combo, I only lost a few strands of hair which was normal for me. I didn't think Olaplex caused me to lose so much hair in just two washes until I took pics of my hair from underneath. Literal bald spots!! I do not know if I had already lost quite a bit when the stylist used in me because I obviously couldn't see and she didn't say anything (not sure if she would). I have never had hair loss issues, especially this drastic! Olaplex might be for others but definitely not for me! Horrible experience and I'll never use again. I'm currently taking supplements to help my hair growth.
