Jojoba is the interesting ingredient because it is not really an oil at all -- it is a wax ester, closer in structure to human sebum than any other plant extract, which is why it absorbs instead of sitting on the surface.
Full details →Who the Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo 250ml is for
Buy it if: Anyone with bleached, coloured or chemically treated hair.
Avoid it if: Anyone with virgin untreated hair -- there is little for the active to do.

Avoid it if: Anyone with a tree nut allergy, and anyone breaking out under the beard -- avocado oil is moderately comedogenic.
