No.5 Bond Maintenance® - Balsam

Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner

🌸 Packaging: Matches perfectly with No. 4 — sleek, clean white bottle with a flip cap. Travel-friendly, sturdy, and easy to control the amount. No mess, no waste. 💧 Texture: Thick and creamy, like a rich hair mask. Spreads easily on damp hair and coats every strand without needing too much product. It feels luxurious right from application. 🌼 Fragrance: Same soft, clean scent as the shampoo — very mild and professional. Doesn’t overpower and fades naturally post-wash. 🧪 Performance & Slip: Gives instant smoothness while detangling. You’ll feel the "slip" effect when you run your fingers through wet hair. Makes combing super easy and reduces breakage. Leaves hair soft but not weighed down. 💪 Repair & Moisture: Delivers deep moisture without feeling greasy or heavy. If your hair is damaged, color-treated, or has heat damage, this brings noticeable bounce and softness. Strengthens strands and helps reduce frizz after just a few uses. 💁‍♀️ Hair Type Suitability: Perfect for dry, frizzy, brittle, or chemically treated hair. If you have very fine or oily hair, use a small amount and focus only on mid-lengths to ends. 🌈 Final Thoughts: A must-have if you’re already using Olaplex No. 4. The duo works like a dream. It truly repairs and nourishes hair while making it look healthy and shiny. Great for regular use, especially if your hair needs TLC. ✨ Rating: 4.9/5 (Only minus — the thick texture takes a little time to rinse out fully. But for the results, totally worth it!)

Non greasy!

This conditioner leaves my hair feeling soft, lightweight, and noticeably smoother, almost like it has been freshly styled. After rinsing, my hair feels less heavy and more manageable, likely because it is more nourished and the frizz is under control. I have highlighted, color treated hair with damage at the ends, and this really helps coat and strengthen those weaker areas without weighing my hair down. The formula feels rich but not greasy, and the scent is subtle, which I personally love. I experienced no scalp irritation. I actually prefer this conditioner now as a brunette compared to when I had platinum blonde. Even though it does not claim to, my hair looks brighter and healthier after using it.

Sincerely recommend

I’ve been using OLAPLEX No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner along with the shampoo, and the results have been consistently impressive. My wavy, frizz-prone hair feels deeply moisturized, smoother, and easier to detangle. It adds softness without weighing the hair down and gives a healthy-looking shine. The texture is rich but rinses out easily, leaving my hair nourished and strong. It works beautifully as part of a routine to repair and maintain hair health. A high-quality conditioner that truly delivers. This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review.

Deeply Moisturizing Conditioner

I’ve been using OLAPLEX No.5 Bond Maintenance® Conditioner alongside the shampoo, and the results are impressive. This conditioner has a rich, creamy texture that instantly softens and detangles my hair, making it feel silky and easy to manage. It provides long-lasting moisture without weighing my hair down, which I really appreciate since I have color-treated, slightly damaged hair. After consistent use, my hair feels noticeably stronger, looks shinier, and has much less frizz. It pairs perfectly with the No.4 Shampoo to help maintain hair health and prevent breakage. However, if you have fine hair, you may need to use a smaller amount to avoid heaviness. Overall, this is a fantastic conditioner for those looking to nourish and strengthen their hair.

The best

As a beauty enthusiast and influencer passionate about fashion, I love taking care of my health. My hair is important to me, so I love trying new products that improve its health. Olaplex No. 5 is a reparative conditioner formulated to restore hair's internal strength, reduce frizz, add shine, and promote manageability. It’s sulfate-, paraben-, gluten-, and cruelty-free, aligning with modern clean beauty standards. It is suitable for all hair types, but especially beneficial for dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair. Its texture is rich and creamy, yet not greasy. It easily distributes through wet hair and doesn't require a large amount to be effective—just a small, palm-sized amount is sufficient, especially if your hair is fine or medium in thickness. Leave it in for three to five minutes, or longer for a deeper conditioning effect. It rinses out easily without leaving a heavy residue, which is ideal for those who dislike the “coated” sensation that some conditioners impart. With regular use, you will experience the following benefits: • Stronger, less brittle hair • Smoother ends and fewer tangles • Easier detangling and styling • Enhanced shine and softness • Healthier-looking color with longer-lasting vibrancy

Delicious Conditioner

Let me just start by saying I am OBSESSED with the scent of the Olaplex Nº.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner. Seriously, looooove it! It smells so clean and luxurious, and somehow comforting at the same time. I honestly look forward to using it just for the smell alone. If they made a body lotion or hair mist with this scent, I’d buy it in a heartbeat. Now onto the actual conditioner which is just as amazing. The texture is rich and creamy without feeling heavy and it glides through my hair so smoothly. I leave it on for a few minutes and it makes my hair feel instantly softer, more hydrated, and way easier to detangle. It doesn’t weigh my hair down at all, and I’ve noticed a big difference in how strong and shiny my hair looks. Like the shampoo, the packaging is simple and minimal, which I love. It feels high-end but still approachable. I really feel like this conditioner helps maintain the health of my hair and gives it that soft, just-treated feel every time I use it!

So Much Less Breakage and So Much Softer

I’ve been bleaching and coloring my hair from dark brown to blonde for nearly 10 years, so I’ve tried just about every conditioner out there. This one is easily the best I’ve used and without a doubt the fastest to make a difference. I’ve been pairing it with the matching Olaplex No. 4 shampoo, and together they’ve completely changed the way my hair looks and feels. After just a few uses, my hair became so much easier to brush through. My ends feel soft, smooth, and hydrated without making my roots look flat or greasy. Blow drying takes less time now, and my hair holds shape without frizzing out or looking dry. What really stands out is the bond building technology in this formula. It actually helps repair the inner structure of the hair instead of just coating the surface. I’ve noticed way less shedding and breakage when I wash or detangle, which is something I’ve struggled with for years. My hair feels stronger, more elastic, and like it somehow skipped over so much of the damage it’s actually been through. It has bounce, shine, and that silky, healthy feel I thought I had lost for good. If your hair is damaged or overprocessed, this is one of those rare products that actually delivers. I’d definitely recommend getting the duo to top it off before wasting more time or money on things that don’t actually work. You’ll notice the difference fast.

Leaves Hair Feeling Like Silk

This conditioner is incredible it leaves my hair feeling like silk ! Impressed is a complete understatement!! I am absolutely amazed by this product ! As someone who has years worth of bleach damage to their hair I am always looking for products to help improve the health of my hair. And because of this I have tried what seems like a million different conditioners and masks ranging in prices . While this conditioner may seem a bit pricy it is totally worth it! This conditioner is lightweight while still being effective in adding essential hydration and detangling the hair. It leaves my end feeling completely hydrated while not feeling overly greasy or like there’s excessive buildup .I am obsessed with the way my hair looks and feeling after using this product! I highly recommend and will be purchasing another bottle! * This product was provided for promotional purposes in exchange for my honest review

Amazing conditioner, packaging sucks

I LOVE this conditioner, it's become a staple in my haircare. It adds so much volume and shine to my naturally fine/thin hair and keeps it looking really healthy. A little goes a long way. What I DON'T love is the design of the bottle... when you've used most of the bottle ithere is a ton of product left inside that is so hard to get out, I have to open up the bottle and fish it out with my fingers or a popsicle stick, it's really frustrating. I leave the bottle upside down in the shower but even then there is so much product stuck inside. I wish they designed it with more of a tapered bottleneck.

Not Worth the Hype or the Price

Pros: It smells nice, and it makes the hair feel soft to the touch. Cons: I used this conditioner together with the No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, expecting great results—but my hair remained frizzy. In fact, it looked even worse than when I use my regular conditioner, which costs five times less. For a premium product, this was very disappointing. If you're looking for something to smooth and tame frizz, this isn't it.

One of the Best conditioner

I’ve been using the No.5 FINE Bond Maintenance Volumizing and Strengthening Conditioner right after the shampoo, and it’s the perfect match. It gives my hair that silky, smooth texture without making it flat or greasy. Most conditioners weigh my fine hair down, but this one somehow gives moisture, softness, and body all in one. It detangles beautifully and helps with breakage, leaving my ends looking healthier over time. The scent is just as fresh and clean as the shampoo, which I love. A small amount really does the trick. If your fine hair needs hydration without heaviness, this conditioner is a must. It’s officially part of my routine now. My blowouts last longer and look fuller. This one earned a permanent spot in my routine. I’m obsessed.

Perfect for Fine Hair

I’ve struggled for years to find a conditioner that actually works for fine hair without weighing it down, and OLAPLEX No.5 FINE truly delivers. It’s lightweight yet incredibly nourishing—my hair feels soft, smooth, and hydrated without any greasy or heavy residue. I use it with the No.4 FINE shampoo, and the combo has completely transformed my hair. It looks fuller, feels stronger, and has much better manageability. I’ve also noticed significantly less breakage and frizz since using it regularly. Plus, it smells fresh and clean, and a little goes a long way. If you have fine or damaged hair and want volume and strength, this is 100% worth the investment. Total game changer!
