As a team, both of these products leave my hair incredibly soft, noticeably less frizzy, and healthier than before. Highly recommend! Today I am bringing you my Olaplex shampoo and conditioner review. The technical names are the Olaplex No 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Olaplex No 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, fyi. I apologize in advance because, spoiler alert, I love them. And yes, they’re pricey. I was hoping to not find these products worth the hype or price point at all, and have not found that to be the case. I loooove love love them. So much. After rinsing, my hair is soft, silky, and smooth. You notice it immediately! Once dry, it’s less frizzy, and still incredibly soft. Both the shampoo and conditioner are “Clean at Sephora”. More info of what that means and the ingredients this is formulated without here. One important note – they are sulfate free! How To Use Olaplex Shampoo and Conditioner
