OLAPLEX Nº.9 Serum is a lightweight leave-in styling serum designed for hair suffering from tangles, static, dullness, and damage caused by heat and daily styling. It helps protect hair from heat up to 232°C, improve styling ease and style hold, reduce tangles, and give hair a satin-like shine without weighing down the strands.

Its formula is based on OLAPLEX bond-building technology and the ingredient Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate to support the strength and structure of damaged hair, with betaine, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, and red algae extracts to support hydration, softness, and care for stressed hair, in addition to PVP and Cetrimonium Chloride to help improve style hold and reduce tangles and static.

How to Use:

1. Use the serum on clean, damp hair before starting styling.
2. Apply a small amount between the palms of your hands.
3. Distribute the product starting from the ends upward toward the roots.
4. Use an additional amount if needed if the hair is long or thick.
5. Do not rinse the product; leave it on the hair as the first step in the styling routine.
6. For a natural and soft texture, let the hair air-dry.
7. For a smoother look, use a blow dryer as usual.
8. For wavy or curly hair, use a diffuser to help define waves and curls.

Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends using Nº.9 as the first styling product on damp hair before creams, oils, or hair-hold products.
• Start with a small amount, then add more if needed, especially if your hair is fine or lightweight.
• Focus on the lengths and ends if they are more prone to damage, dryness, and tangles.
• For best distribution, run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through the hair after applying the serum.
• If you will use a blow dryer or straightener, apply the serum first to get heat protection up to 232°C.
• The product does not need heat to work; it is not a heat-activated serum, and it is best applied to damp or wet hair for the best distribution.
• For curly hair, distribute it on damp strands, then use a diffuser to help improve definition and reduce tangles and static.
• It can be used before OLAPLEX Nº.6 or Nº.7 within the styling routine, while keeping Nº.9 as the first step.
• If your goal is extra shine, a small amount of hair oil can be applied after finishing styling instead of increasing the amount of serum.
• Avoid applying too much product to the root area if your hair is fine or loses volume quickly.
• Despite the heat protection, it is best not to use temperatures higher than the hair needs, because reducing repeated heat helps limit future damage.
