Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil is a highly concentrated, weightless styling hair oil that adds instant shine and softness, tames frizz and flyaways, and shields hair from heat styling up to 450F (232C). Just two to three drops carry Olaplex Bond Building Technology through damp or dry hair, strengthening strands to reduce breakage without leaving a greasy film. It suits every hair type and texture, natural or colour-treated.

Why Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil Works

Heat, bleach, colour and daily styling break the disulphide bonds that give hair its strength and structure. The patented active in this bonding oil, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, works to relink those broken bonds from the inside rather than simply coating the strand. Around it sits a lightweight blend of conditioning oils and high-grade silicones, which is what delivers the shine and the heat shield without the weight most hair oils bring.

Ideal For

Anyone in the UAE whose hair takes a daily beating from heat tools, colour, bleach, sun or air-conditioning. It is especially useful for frizz-prone and colour-treated hair, and it is light enough that fine hair will not be weighed down. To get the results Olaplex tested for, pair it with No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner. One honest note: this is a styling and finishing oil, not a deep repair treatment and not a hair-loss or hair-growth product. If your hair is severely damaged, No.3 Hair Perfector is the treatment step that belongs before it.

• Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate - Olaplex's patented bond-building active, formulated to repair damaged disulphide bonds and strengthen hair against breakage.

• Dimethicone and Phenyl Trimethicone - high-grade silicones that smooth the cuticle, cut frizz and carry the heat protection. Olaplex names these openly; they are what make the oil work as a styling product.

• Coco-Caprylate - a coconut-derived emollient that conditions without the heaviness of a raw oil.

• Sunflower Seed Oil, Corn Oil and Pomegranate Seed Oil - lightweight nourishing oils that soften and add slip.

• Tocopherol (Vitamin E) - an antioxidant that supports hair left exposed to sun and heat.

The formula is vegan, cruelty-free, colour-safe and free from sulfates, phthalates, phosphates, parabens and MIC/MIT. It will not stain hair of any colour.

1. Remove the cap, turn the bottle upside down, and gently tap the base with your index finger to release a single metered drop.

2. Dispense two to three drops into your palm. Fine hair needs less; thick or long hair may need slightly more.

3. Work through damp hair before blow-drying or heat styling, concentrating on mid-lengths and ends.

4. Re-apply a small amount to dry hair after styling, or between washes, for extra shine and smoothness.

It can be used daily on wet or dry hair. Start with less than you think you need, since this hair oil is highly concentrated and a little goes a long way.
