No.5 Fine Bond Maintenance® - Condicionador

First time with No.5 and my hair feels transformed

I tried the No.5 Fine Bond Maintenance Conditioner for the first time, applying it from mid-lengths to ends. Since my hair is long, I used a generous amount, and it left my hair with an incredible shine! It completely transformed my hair, it looks healthy and revived, and this was only after the very first application!

Works but thinner than expected

Olaplex No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner is a fantastic follow-up to the No.4 shampoo and really delivers when it comes to smoothing, softening, and strengthening hair. It leaves my strands feeling silky without being heavy or greasy, and over time, I’ve noticed a real difference in reduced breakage and overall health. The conditioner works beautifully for detangling and makes hair more manageable, especially if it’s been color-treated or heat-styled. My only surprise was the texture—it’s slightly thinner than I expected for such a high-end conditioner, but despite that, it still nourishes deeply and rinses out cleanly. The refreshing citrus scent adds a spa-like feel to the experience, making each wash both effective and enjoyable. The results speak for themselves: shinier, healthier, more resilient hair that feels salon-treated after every wash.

I’m seeing a little less breakage!

I was pretty excited to get this conditioner from the famed Olaplex- a brand I’m sure we’ve all heard about. I’ve moved to a new city recently that I think might have harder water than I’m used to, because I’ve been experiencing some extra hair loss. I already naturally have very thin, fine hair, so I’ve been pretty stressed about losing even more of it. So far, i’ve enjoyed using this conditioner. It’s light and slightly softens my hair without weighing it down. Honestly, I haven’t noticed a large volume increase from this product, but my hair is naturally so fine and thin I wasn’t expecting it. I was mainly hoping to see less breakage and hair loss. I’m happy to say that I think I did! I always look at how much hair I have in my brush after I finish combing, and I clean my brush after every use. Since I’ve been using this product for the last few weeks, I feel like I’ve been cleaning less hair out of my brush. This is a big win for me! Now I will say, it doesn’t do a great job softening my hair. It does soften it a little, but my hair gets tangled very very easily. I have the type of hair where I have to comb it multiple times a day to avoid getting big knots, so I usually need to use a pretty heavy duty conditioner and detangler. When I use this as a conditioner with my normal detangler, it just wasn’t enough to get all of my knots out. But honestly, I was pretty fine with that. I figure, if this is helping to prevent hair loss and breakage, then I can just toss another conditioner or hair softener into my routine to make sure I get out all of those tangles. So that’s what I think I’m gonna continue doing in the future – I will use this product to get the anti breakage benefits, let it stay on my hair for five or 10 minutes, and then put on my regular go-to conditioner to soften and detangle for another five minutes. That way I should get the best of both worlds. I definitely recommend this for someone experiencing breakage or hair loss. It would be great for someone who has hair that doesn’t tangle easily like mine – but if you are like me, just layer your conditioners girl! *I received this as a part of an educational promotion.*

So light but hydrating

I normally hydrate my extremely dry curly hair with an overnight hair mask but honestly. This conditioner does the same thing but in minutes instead of hours. I noticed a visible difference with just two weeks of usage which I’m not surprised. Big notice though: use sparingly otherwise it will weigh your hair down making you have to wash your hair more often than you normally would. So, other than that, it smells gorgeous, its shockingly easier to wash off in the shower which is always a huge struggle for me. Other than that, I keep it in for lesser amount of time cause I’m impatient than noted on the packaging but it still works just as good. I’m so glad Olaplex made a version for fine hair because the regular was so unsuitable for my thin hair. I received this product as a part of an education promotion.

Clean Bouncy Hair

I have been using olaplex for many years and this new fine bond maintenance conditioner is my new holy grail. It smells amazing and is so easy to use. It instantly detangles and smoothes my hair when I apply it in the shower. It rinses out very easily as well. After a few uses I noticed less breakage in my hair while using heat tools. I also noticed less shedding over all meaning my hair has gotten stronger. I like that it is truly weightless, it leaves not type of residue on my hair which is very important. My hair still feels light and bouncy, but also hydrated and smooth. My hair styles also have lasted longer since using this conditioner. I like that I don’t have to leave it on for too long or do anything extra, it incorporates into my hair routine seamlessly. *Product was received as part of an educational promotion

Best Conditioner ever for fine hair

I absolutely love the Olaplex No.5 FINE Bond Maintenance Volumizing and Strengthening Conditioner. I have long, but fine hair that is thin with ends that easily break. Most volumizing shampoos leave my hair feeling coarse; conditioners often leave my hair feeling weighed down. It's a struggle finding products that work with my fine hair to add volume and strengthen without feeling heavy. Well, HELLO Olaplex No.5! This Conditioner is a miracle in softening and strengthening my thin hair while STILL adding a whole lot of body. My hair felt silky, strong, full, and just overall thicker! There was a noticeable difference just after one wash (with No.4) and conditioning!!! After a week of using, my hair is obviously healthier and thicker than ever before. I paired it with No.4 Fine Bond Maintenance Volumizing and Strengthening Shampoo. What a dynamic duo for fabulous locks! I love that I get the strengthening and repair benefits Olaplex is known for, but in a formula designed specifically for finer hair I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review

Love it! Perfect for fine hair

I really love the Olaplex N°.5FINE Bond Maintenance Conditioner! It makes my hair soft, smooth, and manageable without weighing it down. My fine hair feels stronger, healthier, and more resilient after each use. Definitely a must-have in my routine. Disclaimer: I received this product as part of an educational promotion.

Lightweight and Smooth

I’ve been using the Olaplex Nº.5FINE Bond Maintenance Conditioner for the last week, and I’m genuinely pleased with how it performs, especially for fine hair. It delivers hydration without heaviness, which is hard to find. The texture is light and silky. After rinsing, hair feels smooth and much easier to detangle. With wavy hair, slip is very important in a conditioner. My strands look healthier, with less breakage and fewer flyaways. What impressed me most is how it retains volume; even at the root, there’s lift (when paired with the shampoo) without that weighed down or flat feeling. The scent is clean and not overwhelming. Also, I read that the formula is color-safe, which is a major plus. It isn’t inexpensive, but given the results of manageable, soft, strong hair, it feels worth the investment. This conditioner is well worth trying if your hair is fine or fragile. *This product was received as part of an educational promotion.

Excellent conditioner for damaged and tangled hair

I received this as part of an educational promotion. I've been using this conditioner for the past couple of days, and I'm incredibly surprised by the quick results I've seen on my hair so far. For context, my hair has been going through a lot of changes: months ago, I got ombre highlights that included bleaching my hair, and the salty water on my summer vacation made my hair so dry that it was breaking. But this product has managed to restore the softness and shine! I apply the conditioner in the shower after rinsing the shampoo and wait about 3 minutes before rinsing it out, and my hair feels so soft and healthy despite the recent damage. My hair is 2a, so it's prone to frizz, but this product has significantly reduced the frizz and made it considerably more manageable, way easier to detangle. Normally, to detangle my hair, I had to wait for my hair to be half-air-dried, apply oils or other products to be able to detangle it, and it was taking me over 10 minutes with the use of a comb and a brush to avoid breakage or losing hair. But with this conditioner, I didn't need to apply any other products to detangle it, and the time has been reduced to 4 minutes; also, I only require a comb because it barely gets tangled now. The consistency doesn't feel creamy and heavy and actually feels very lightweight in your hair. Although the bottle doesn't look too big, the amount of product is pretty similar to other brands, and the price I think is good considering that it's a specialized product and the fact that it can restore even considerably damaged hair; besides, the fresh smell stays on your hair for many hours. It's my first time trying Olaplex products, and I'm very satisfied!

My humble opinion

I love this conditioner, it moisturizes my hair without being too sticky. Just what my hair needed for frizz. I love that the product is concentrated for an excellent repair of the hair strand without leaving the hair greasy. I received this as a part of an educational promotion.

I think this conditioner is pretty good. I honestly had no complaints. I did take off one star because I feel like it’s pretty expensive for what it does. It’s just a conditioner. I don’t feel like it’s much different than most other conditioners. I guess it’s not too heavy and that’s important for people with fine, thin hair like me.

Great volume

The product was received for educational purposes. If you want volume – this is a great line! Shortly about my hair: I have natural, non-dyed hair that is quite frizzy. It tends to be quite dry and breaks easily. I usually have fluffy, frizzy hair right after I wash it, but on the second day (and especially the third, right before I have to wash it again!) it lacks volume, particularly at the roots. This line is a game-changer: while it takes care of both hair and scalp, it also gives that desired volume that lasts until the next wash. Love it!
