Hair Styling Saviors

There's perhaps no month that calls for hairstyling (and damage) more than December. The month is jam-packed with holidays; Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza, and New Year's Eve, not to mention holiday parties with family, friends, and at the office. As many of us check our calendars and plan our looks, damage is the one accessory we won't need this month.

Your looks aren't the only things killing the game this month––sadly, each pass your curling wand, blow dryer, and flat iron takes through your hair means broken bonds.

While healthy hair is something we advocate year-round, breaking bonds during the happiest season of all is an especially hard no from us. This doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't style your hair this season, and there's absolutely no heat-tool shaming here. However, there's certainly a way to improve the integrity of your hair and serve looks with the two OLAPLEX hair styling saviors.

OLAPLEX Nº.6 Bond Smoother and OLAPLEX Nº.7 Bonding Oil are no-brainers for hairstyling. The two boast massive benefits with fuss-free applications you can do as soon as you get out of the shower or right before styling. The two are unique and work together to combat frizz, protect the hair from heat, moisturize, and rebuild bonds. Though they work even better together, the two operate independently to rebuild hair internally and eliminate causes of damage while providing a base for any healthy hairstyle.

Nº.6 Bond Smoother eliminates frizz for up to 72 hours. Frizz is known for pesky little flyways that hover over the top layer of the hair. Although frizz can be cute, it can damage hair overtime when left uncontrolled. A common misconception is only salon chemicals, and excessive heat tool use can damage the hair. Something as innocuous as pulling a hoodie off and on your head or sleeping on a pillow take your frizz, and create just enough friction to break those very fragile baby hairs. While addressing frizz, Bond Smoother also adds moisture to the hair, leaving it soft, shiny, and hydrated.

The first of its kind, Nº.7 Bonding Oil, is a luxury hair oil that rebuilds hair. Infused with OLAPLEX's patented technology, Nº.7 relinks broken disulfide bonds in the hair while protecting against heat up to 450ºF. Remember when we said, no heat-shaming here? Although one should practice styling their hair naturally and heat-free as often as possible, we know that's not always the case. With Nº.7, you can rebuild and protect while leaving the hair shinier than ever.
