Why You Shouldn’t Skip Hair Serum – OLAPLEX Inc.

What Is a Hair Serum?

Hair serums are lightweight styling products that envelope hair strands and are designed to:

• Shine and smooth the hair
• Combat dryness and frizz
• Protect against damage, like heat
• Minimize tangles and knots

Hair Serums to Add to Your Haircare Routine

Once you start using a hair serum, you’ll wonder why you didn’t use one earlier. Here are two OLAPLEX hair and scalp serums to try:

OLAPLEX Nº.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum

When OLAPLEX created a serum, it was important to provide potent results and protection that care for the hair’s integrity. Nº.9’s weightless and silicone-free formula includes many skincare ingredients, like antioxidant-rich red algae extract. If you’re looking for a serum for heat protection and multiple styling benefits, you’ll love Nº.9. The benefits of Nº.9 include:

• Protection from heat damage (up to 450°F)
• Prevents tangles and static 
• Improved style retention
• Satin shine

When you apply Nº.9, start with a small amount and work upward from the ends of your hair to your roots. You can use a little more serum if you have longer, thicker hair. Nº.9 may be used alone, or combine it with Nº.6 Bond Smoother® for frizz control and/or OLAPLEX Nº.7 Bonding Oil™ for brilliant shine. Style your hair as usual. You can air-dry your hair for a soft texture, or blow-dry it for a smooth finish. Diffuse your hair if you have curly hair or waves.

Nº.0.5 Scalp Longevity Treatment

Did you know that healthy hair begins at the scalp? If you don’t use a scalp serum, you might want to start. Nº.0.5 is a weightless scalp treatment that’s gentle enough for daily use and works to protect hair health. Try Nº.05 to:

• Protect your scalp barrier and maintain a balanced microbiome
• Hydrate and soothe the scalp
• Promote shiny, soft, and visibly healthy hair

Nº.0.5 also contains Patented OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology™ to re-link disulfide bonds within keratin to strengthen the scalp barrier. It also contains ceramides, a common skincare ingredient that helps hydrate a dry scalp.

Use this serum to nourish your scalp before styling wet hair or as an overnight treatment on dry hair. To use this scalp serum:

1. Part your hair at the scalp in sections.
2. Apply the serum directly to the scalp.
3. Massage thoroughly to ensure proper absorption.

Serums are a simple way to visibly improve your scalp and hair health. Find out more about how to take care of your scalp and what factors can affect your scalp health.
