No matter how regularly I use reparative hair masks, spritz in hydrating leave-in conditioners, and switch out my hairdyer for air-drying, my hair’s natural texture means that it always looks somewhat frazzled. But as someone that is decidedly unskilled in the hair-styling department and rarely has time to spare to experiment with different hot tools, I tend to just leave my tangle of flyaway waves to do their own thing. However, recently an Olaplex product landed on my desk that has become something of a game changer for me and my unruly hair: Olaplex No.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum.
Despite not enjoying the same furore as the viral Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector, this little-known gem from the Olaplex line-up is seriously impressive and takes my hair from dull and dry to sleek and shiny with very little effort required. And while I’ve tried hundreds of hair serums in the past, this is far superior to many of the formulations on the market right now.
