Olaplex Nº.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner

Unlike standard conditioners that primarily coat the hair shaft to smooth it, the Nº.5 formula contains Olaplex's patented bond-building technology. This works internally to re-link broken disulfide bonds, actively repairing damage caused by chemical, thermal, and mechanical processes.

No, it is formulated to provide deep hydration without the heavy, waxy residue often found in intense repair treatments. It is designed to leave hair feeling airy and manageable, though those with extremely fine hair should focus application primarily on the mid-lengths to ends.

Yes, it is specifically formulated to be color-safe. It helps maintain color integrity by repairing the hair structure, which prevents the dullness and porosity that often cause color to fade prematurely.

The formula is sulfate-free and paraben-free, making it a gentle option for maintaining hair health. However, it does contain silicones, which are used to provide the smoothing and frizz-reducing benefits the product is known for.

It is designed for daily use or every time you wash your hair. Because it is a maintenance product rather than a heavy-duty mask, it is gentle enough to incorporate into your regular routine to keep bonds strong and hair smooth.

Yes, Olaplex Nº.5 is both vegan and cruelty-free, meaning it contains no animal-derived ingredients and is not tested on animals.
