Olaplex No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner 3.5 oz / 100 ml - For Damaged & Dry Hair
No.5 is the conditioner in the Olaplex system, and this is the small 3.5 oz bottle.
What separates it from an ordinary conditioner is the bond-building chemistry. Bleach, colour and relaxer break disulfide bonds inside the hair, and that structural damage is why processed hair goes limp, porous and prone to snapping. Olaplex works on those bonds rather than only on the surface, so the improvement shows in the strength of the strand rather than only in how it feels once dry.
The rest of it behaves like a good rich conditioner. Hydration for dry hair, enough slip to detangle without tearing, and a visible smoothness after the first use. Brushing and styling take less out of the hair as a result.
Best for anyone who colours, bleaches or chemically straightens, and worth pairing with the rest of the system if you are going to commit to it.

Application tips
After shampooing, squeeze the water out of the hair first. Conditioner slides off a soaked head and you end up using twice as much for half the effect.
Rake it through the mid-lengths and ends, skip the roots unless they are dry, and comb it out while it is in. Leave it a couple of minutes, then rinse until the water runs clear.
Results
Detangling is the immediate one. Wet knots let go instead of tearing, which is where a lot of length gets lost.
Dry, the hair sits smoother without feeling coated, and processed lengths look less porous and dull. On chemically straightened or bleached hair the improvement builds with repeat use rather than arriving all at once, so keep it in the rotation rather than saving it for bad weeks.
