What the gurus are saying

Softer, stronger, less brittle hair comes through for reviewers using this on chemically damaged strands, with effects building when used repeatedly. Salons embraced it as a must-have for bleached and chemically treated hair, and pairing it with the matching shampoo maximizes results. Reactions have been mixed on whether it outperforms other products, though Olaplex fans report strong satisfaction.

"When I use Olaplex products my hair really does feel so much softer, stronger, less dry and brittle, less damaged. I do feel like the more I use it the more it helps to repair my hair. I like to use it together, the shampoo and the conditioner, for maximum effects."

"I did buy a little sampler pack that had a little mini shampoo and a mini conditioner and I've really been liking them, but I gotta say when I use them three or four washes in a row it starts to weigh my hair down and make it really flat. I need to shampoo with something else in the meantime."

"I have the Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, and [...] I really like it. [...] If you are a fan of Olaplex, like the Bond repair mist, which is a pre-shower or pre-wash treatment, you'll probably like this too. Plus, I like the scent."
