No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner — Reddit Reviews
by Olaplex
Updated November 5, 2026
Conditioner makes damaged lengths softer and smoother; fine hair risks flatness and buildup.
What the community says
A rinse-out conditioner built around Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate, cationic conditioners, glycerin, and silicones for damaged lengths. Best on bleached or heat-stressed hair needing slip, though fine or low-density hair can turn flat, greasy, and coated.
