Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, Repairs, Strengthens, & Nourishes All Hair Types, Leaving Hair Feeling Soft & Adds Shine, 250ml

This product does what it says. I’ve used it weekly for a few months now and noticed a real difference in the strength and texture of my hair. It’s smoother, less prone to breakage, and feels healthier overall. You don’t need much per use, so the bottle lasts longer than expected. Works well even on colour-treated or heat-damaged hair. Only downside is the price—it’s on the higher end for the size—but the results justify it.

Lovely oil, my hair has improved so much since using it and my hair would break off all the time, now I am able to grow it long. The bottle is small but I have been using the same bottle for 2 years. You only need 2-3 drops. I wash my hair every 5 days but I use this in between washes too. It’s worked great for me and will always have a stock of it in my house.

I’ve been sceptical on olaplex for a while, i thought i knew best and read a couple years ago that hair damage is irreversible. My hairdresser isn’t really an advocate either - whilst he hasn’t really much bad to say, he just says he has no experience with the product so can’t really comment and therefore has never really ‘recommended’ it to me as such.I took the plunge after looking after my hair for the past year. Background on my hair: i used to have hip length brunette hair that i had balayage on, increasing the regularity to become as blonde as possible via balayage - i kept my length for some time and then sadly quite literally seen it shorten before my eyes due to excessive heat damage on compromised hair.It’s now around lower chest region but had snapped in many places to shoulder length and shorter depending on the area!I decided to 95% cut heat out, stopped blow drying completely and started looking into moisturising products - this definitely helped the overall health of my hair and helped gain a little length without so much breakage! it was growing really healthy and strong from the root and the damage was growing out slowly but surely.Only recently i’ve thought right what else can i do to up my game and after much research had decided it’s time to try out olaplex and saw many hairdressers say don’t bother with any other product as no.3 is the one that really makes a difference.This is my 3rd time using it and wow! instantly i do feel my hair is softer which speaks volumes as to what this product is doing as it isn’t a moisturising product nor leave in so this just proves that the restorative properties are working, leaving my hair healthier which in turn enables it to retain moisture better. It’s nowhere near as frayed at the bottom and just feels a lot stronger, looks a lot better and i can honestly say i believe it to be working! brought my second bottle ready.

Literally the best hair product out there! Makes my hair so shiny and smooth just wish there was more product.

You can feel the quality in this shampoo and yes, it’s not cheap but you are paying for a product that very little goes a long way.I use the size of a 20p piece in the palm of my hand and it lathers up into a luxurious foam. Hair is left shiny, smooth and my hairbrush glides through it.A 200ml bottle can last over 6 months if used sparingly, you do need to add a bit more water to get it to lather.Most beneficial when used with Olaplex No3 product first (pre shampoo treatment) and followed by No5 which is the conditioner.My hair was so dry and breakage was bad before using this product. I can now also go a day longer between washes, would recommend.

I almost didn't but this because of the bad press machine at play. But because l had great results for my 4b/c hair with OLAPLEX No.0 and No.3 l was advised by CynDoll from YouTube to use No.4 and No.7, and very happy that l continued to use this quality haircare line. After all, Olaplex are fighting the negative allegations, which is a testament to their confidence with Olaplex a quality product. No. 4 is super rich and hydrates the hair follicles which is needed for hard water Britain. A little 20p size goes a long way. Value for money and now a permanent staple for my haircare regime.

Washed my hair and used olaplex bonding oil after my blow dry as can use beforehand. My hair felt so soft ,moisturising to the touch smoothed the hair and soooooo shiny which was a bonus for me as I have greys and menopausal hair...DRY! So using this oil was a treat plus you only need a little as it says on the tin. It says it bonding well I can't comment on that right now..only used once.

It was very expensive but I trusted the reviews anyway, unfortunately haven't seen that much of an effect
