What the gurus are saying

Softer, stronger, less dry and brittle hair is what the gurus keep describing, and salon experience backs it up: it became a must-have before bleaching or touching damaged hair. The catch is that three or four washes in a row can weigh hair down and leave it flat, so rotating in a different shampoo is the suggested fix. A few gurus are lukewarm, though even they call it a good one.

"When I use Olaplex products my hair really does feel so much softer, stronger, less dry and brittle, less damaged. I do feel like the more I use it the more it helps to repair my hair. I like to use it together, the shampoo and the conditioner, for maximum effects."

"I did buy a little sampler pack that had a little mini shampoo and a mini conditioner and I've really been liking them, but I gotta say when I use them three or four washes in a row it starts to weigh my hair down and make it really flat. I need to shampoo with something else in the meantime."

"I have the Olaplex No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, and [...] I really like it. [...] If you are a fan of Olaplex, like the Bond repair mist, which is a pre-shower or pre-wash treatment, you'll probably like this too. Plus, I like the scent."
