You might take pride in your skincare routine, but what about your haircare routine? From serums to moisturizers, step-by-step haircare routines are just as important as your skincare regimen, and with OLAPLEX®, they can actually make your hair visibly healthier and smoother. Serums are the holy grail of skincare, and haircare serums that provide heat protection and soothe the scalp like OLAPLEX Nº.9 Bond Protector and Nº.0.5 Scalp Longevity Treatment can become star players in your haircare routine.
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:
- Part your hair at the scalp in sections.
- Apply the serum directly to the scalp.
- Massage thoroughly to ensure proper absorption.
