Frequently Asked Questions

How to use Olaplex Bonding Oil?

Apply 1-2 drops of Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil to damp or dry hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. You can use it before blow-drying as a heat protectant, after styling for added shine, or as an overnight treatment for deep repair. A little goes a long way — start with less and add more if needed.

What does Olaplex Bonding Oil do?

Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil repairs broken hair bonds caused by chemical treatments, heat styling, and environmental damage. It strengthens hair from within while adding intense shine, softness, and frizz control. The patented bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate ingredient works at the molecular level to rebuild damaged disulfide bonds in your hair.

Is Olaplex Bonding Oil a heat protectant?

Yes, Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil provides heat protection up to 232C (450F). Apply it to damp hair before blow-drying or to dry hair before using flat irons or curling wands. It shields hair from thermal damage while simultaneously repairing existing bond damage, making it a dual-purpose styling and treatment product.

What is Olaplex Bonding Oil for?

Olaplex No. 7 is designed for all hair types that need repair, shine, and protection. It is especially beneficial for color-treated, bleached, chemically processed, or heat-damaged hair. It reduces frizz, adds high shine, improves manageability, and protects against future damage — all while being lightweight and non-greasy.

When to use Olaplex Bonding Oil?

Use Olaplex No. 7 as a finishing step in your hair care routine. Apply after washing and conditioning on damp hair before heat styling, or on dry styled hair for extra shine. It can also be used as a pre-shampoo treatment — apply generously, leave overnight, and wash out in the morning for intensive repair.
