heat protectant hair serum | anti-frizz shine | bond protector

Overview

OLAPLEX Nº.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum is a leave-in styling serum designed to protect, smooth, and perfect your hair every day. This weightless, silicone-free formula shields strands from heat up to 450°F (232°C) and provides a 48-hour pollution defense, preventing damage before it starts.

Unlike repair treatments that rebuild broken bonds, Nº.9 acts as your daily styling protector—applied after washing, before heat styling or air-drying—to keep hair soft, glossy, and frizz-free. Powered by patented OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology™, it helps maintain the strength and resilience of your hair while enhancing shine and style longevity for every hair type.

What It Does

OLAPLEX Nº.9 is more than a heat protectant — it is your hair’s daily shield against damage. This lightweight serum delivers essential protection and visible results from the very first use:

  • Guards hair from heat styling up to 450°F (232°C) to prevent dryness and breakage.
  • Creates a 48-hour pollution shield that blocks harmful particles and free radicals before they can dull or weaken the hair.
  • Tames frizz, static, and tangles without weighing the hair down — perfect for sleek, defined, or natural styles.
  • Boosts shine and softness for a smooth, satin finish with a healthy, touchable feel.
  • Enhances style memory and color vibrancy, helping your hairstyle and color look fresh for longer.

Whether you blow-dry, straighten, curl, or air-dry, Nº.9 is the finishing serum that protects and perfects — every time you style.

Key Ingredients

  • Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate — patented bond builder that helps keep hair stronger and more resilient during styling.
  • PVP — flexible film former for light hold and humidity resistance without stiffness.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate — humectant that draws in moisture for light hydration and elasticity.
  • Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) — conditioning agent that smooths, adds shine, and helps reduce split ends.
  • Furcellaria and Pelvetia Seaweeds — antioxidant shield that supports a 48h anti-pollution barrier.
  • Cetrimonium Chloride — detangling, anti-static agent for easier combing.

Who Is It For?

  • All hair types and textures, including color-treated.
  • Heat stylers seeking reliable protection and softness.
  • Frizz-prone, dull, or tangled hair needing lightweight polish.
  • Fine hair that dislikes heavy silicones.

How to Use

A. Standalone Application

Use OLAPLEX Nº.9 as your first styling step after washing and conditioning. It is a leave-in serum — no rinse needed.

  1. Towel-dry your hair gently to remove excess water, leaving it damp (not dripping wet).
  2. Dispense the right amount:
    • Short or fine hair: 1 drop (pea-sized)
    • Medium-length or normal hair: 2 drops
    • Long or thick hair: 3–4 drops
  3. Apply evenly from mid-lengths to ends. Start with your hands, then use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to distribute the serum evenly — this ensures every strand is coated without build-up near the roots.
  4. Style as desired: air-dry for soft definition, blow-dry for a sleek finish, or diffuse curls for frizz-free bounce.

Pro Tip: Add half a drop on dry hair to smooth flyaways and add instant shine. Use before every heat styling session for optimal protection.

B. Within the OLAPLEX System
