What the gurus are saying

The gurus who tested it found it hydrates and softens hair without heaviness, and one expert praised how it felt on damaged strands and smelled appealing. However, one dermatologist found it performed no better than a drugstore alternative like Pantene, so the repair benefit may not be dramatic for everyone. Those drawn to salon-quality bond repair without a salon visit, or who love the formula's feel and scent, tend to be the ones who reach for it most.

"My first pick in the splurge category is the Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo. This one hydrates beautifully and softens without weighing your hair down. Their key ingredient is this long molecule bis aminopropyl diglycol daliate which is their patented bond repair technology. It also has panthenol which I've been loving recently for skin barrier repair. So it helps with repair of your scalp skin barrier. Glycerin which is a great humectant helping your scalp hold on to moisture. I also really just truly love the way it smells and it makes my hair feel less damaged after I use this Olaplex shampoo."

"In 2018 they launched their number three hair perfector number four bond maintenance shampoo and number five bond maintenance conditioner this finally allowed fans of the brand to get the bond building effects of Olaplex without having to go to a salon. When I worked in a salon we were an Olaplex salon we actually would not bleach hair or touch damaged hair without using Olaplex it became a must-have because of how effective these in salon versions were people loved it they were buying it out of the salon."

"I tried the Olaplex shampoo and while I liked it, I really didn't find that my hair was any different in comparison to using that Pantene shampoo."
