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. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner 250ml is for
Buy it if: Anyone using the No.4 shampoo on chemically treated hair, including fine hair.
Avoid it if: Anyone following a silicone-free routine, and anyone with virgin untreated hair.

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