No. 6 Bond Smoother — Reddit Reviews
by Olaplex
Updated November 10, 2026
Silicone-rich leave-in smooths frizz and speeds blow-drying; can flatten waves.
What the community says
A silicone-heavy leave-in cream for damp lengths, especially when blow-drying, smoothing frizz and shortening drying time. Fine hair can love the tiny-dab finish, but wavy hair may lose definition, and overapplication leaves lengths heavy or flat.
