Who Should You Use OLAPLEX °7 Shine Serum Oil Mist?
Wondering if OLAPLEX °7 Shine Serum Oil Mist is for you? It might be if:
- You prefer a hands-free oil format. Traditional oil formats, like OLAPLEX N°.7 Bonding Oil™, are applied with your hands. OLAPLEX °7 Shine Serum Oil Mist offers a spray format for those who prefer keeping their hands oil-free.
- You have low-porosity hair. Oil is more prone to sitting on the surface of low-porosity hair. OLAPLEX °7 Shine Serum Oil Mist may be a better fit for low-porosity hair than concentrated formulas thanks to its lightweight finish.
- You need a quick refresh. All OLAPLEX °7 Shine Serum Oil Mist needs is a few shakes and a few sprays whenever you need to touch-up a style.
OLAPLEX °7 Shine Serum Oil Mist can be used across hair types.
How Do You Use OLAPLEX °7 Shine Serum Oil Mist?
To use OLAPLEX °7 Shine Serum Oil Mist:
- Shake well. Make sure the serum and oil are mixed completely.
- Lightly mist 2-4 sprays onto wet or dry hair. Focus on mid-lengths to ends. Apply more as needed, shaking between each use.
You can use this oil spray before or after styling, depending on what you’re looking to get out of it. Use it before styling as a heat protectant or use it post-styling as a shine boost.
In a routine, OLAPLEX °7 Shine Serum Oil Mist works great with OLAPLEX N°.7 Bonding Oil™. Using these together provides multidimensional shine and extra protection, softness, and moisture.
If you’re using both OLAPLEX °7 products in the same routine, we recommend using OLAPLEX N°.7 Bonding Oil™ as your pre-styler on wet hair before heat and °.7 Shine Serum Oil Mist as your post-styler/refresher. But these can be used interchangeably… it’s up to you!
