In stock
Bond-building conditioner. Key actives: Bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate. Fragrance: Fragranced.
Direct answer: is the Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner 250ml right for you?
Same active as the No.4 shampoo in a conditioning base, and the useful practical detail is leave-in time: three to five minutes is the full effect, and leaving it longer changes nothing because the reaction is not time-dependent past that point.
Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner 250ml
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: Same active as the No.4 shampoo in a conditioning base, and the useful practical detail is leave-in time: three to five minutes is the full effect, and leaving it longer changes nothing because the reaction is not time-dependent past that point. It is light enough for fine hair, which most repair conditioners are not. It contains silicones, which matters if you follow a curly-girl routine.
Who should buy this
Anyone using the No.4 shampoo on chemically treated hair, including fine hair.
Who should avoid this
Anyone following a silicone-free routine, and anyone with virgin untreated hair.

Does the one thing I bought it for
Light enough for fine hair, unlike most repair conditioners. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: Full effect in 3 to 5 minutes, no long masking time. Nothing has surprised me in two months.

Happy with it, but go in informed
Light enough for fine hair, unlike most repair conditioners. The one thing to know before ordering: Contains silicones, excluded by some curly-hair routines. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Wrong product for my situation
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone following a silicone-free routine, and anyone with virgin untreated hair. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.
