Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner is a deeply nourishing, reparative conditioner that works in synergy with the rest of the Olaplex system to strengthen and hydrate damaged hair. Infused with the brand’s patented bond-building technology, it helps restore elasticity, reduce frizz, and improve manageability without weighing the hair down. It’s especially beneficial for chemically treated or heat-damaged hair, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and noticeably healthier. The texture is rich but not greasy, and it’s suitable for all hair types—including color-treated and curly hair.
Its rich formula, while great for dry or damaged hair, may feel a bit too heavy for very fine or oily hair if overused. It also doesn’t provide that instant “slip” or detangling feel that some people expect from a conditioner. However, with proper application and rinsing, it leaves long-term benefits that go beyond surface-level softness. The price is on the higher end, but given the concentration and repair benefits, it’s a solid investment for those looking to improve their hair’s strength and integrity over time.
