Olaplex Nº.7 Bonding Oil™

Lightweight finishing oil for shine, heat protection, and frizz smoothing

~CGM ModifiedProtein-FreeStep: Finish

Our Take

A lightweight multi-use bonding oil that adds shine, smooths frizz, and provides heat protection up to 230°C. Can be used on damp hair before styling or as a finishing product on dry curls to break up gel cast and add shine. One of the more versatile products in the range — a small amount goes a long way. Alcohol-free and colour-safe. Predominantly oil-based and likely compatible with a modified CGM approach.

How to Use

Apply 1–2 drops to damp or dry hair from mid-lengths to ends. Use on damp hair before styling as a pre-styler, or on dry, finished hair to add shine and break up gel cast. A little goes a long way.
