No. 6 Bond Smoother — Reddit Reviews
by Olaplex
Updated November 5, 2026
Silicone-rich leave-in smooths frizz, speeds drying, and boosts shine; easy to overapply.
What the community says
A silicone-heavy leave-in cream with dimethicone, phenyl trimethicone, and bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, best worked through damp lengths before air-drying or heat styling. Fine, frizz-prone hair gets polish; heavy-handed application can flatten waves and leave buildup.
