Do I need a bond-repair conditioner like Olaplex No. 5?

Reviewer consensus

Bond-repair formulas are aimed at chemically or heat-damaged hair, color-treated, bleached, or frequently flat-ironed. If your hair is healthy and just needs moisture, a standard hydrating conditioner is usually enough and far cheaper. The verified-purchase reviews skew most positive on bond products among people with genuinely damaged or processed hair.
