No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner
3.0/5
divided
Reviewers praise
  • Contains the patented bond-building technology found across the Olaplex line
  • Thick, luxurious texture that feels like a treatment experience
  • Works well when paired with the full system, especially Number 0 and Number 3
Reviewers push back
  • Lacks sufficient hydration for damaged hair that needs both strength and moisture
  • Heaviness causes buildup and makes hair feel oily or dirty faster
  • The shampoo leaves a residue layer that some users can feel on their hair
Reviewers agree the conditioner works as a bonding treatment but most find it lacks the hydration damaged hair actually needs, making it feel incomplete for its price tier.
— best for: People with chemically damaged hair, especially from bleaching or highlights, who are already using the Olaplex treatment system and want to maintain salon bond-building results at home.

I’ve been using this Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density for a few months and honestly it’s become a staple in my hair routine. The texture is super lightweight and absorbs quickly into the scalp without making my hair greasy, which I really love. With consistent use, I’ve noticed my hair feels thicker and healthier and I’ve even seen a bit of new baby hair growth around my hairline. Some people Linetee · deciem.com

Suitability for fine/thin hair4.4
I’ve been using Olaplex No.5 Conditioner along with No.3 and No.4, and I honestly feel like my hair routine has changed for the better. I have very thin, fragile hair that tangles easily and sheds a lot. Most conditioners either leave my hair flat and greasy or don’t hydrate enough. This one feels like the perfect balance – nourishing, but still lightweight. Packaging: Minimal and sleek, matches t Hafsa S · influenster.com
