Nº.6 Bond Smoother® vs. Nº.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum: What's the Difference?

Are you looking for OLAPLEX styling products that can help repair hair damage but aren’t sure where to start or which ones are right for you? Learn the difference between OLAPLEX Nº.6 Bond Smoother® versus Nº.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum and when to use each.


What Is OLAPLEX Nº.6 Bond Smoother®?

Let's take a closer look at Nº.6 to understand how it’s different from Nº.9. No.6 Bond Smoother® is a styling cream that’s clinically proven to control frizz for up to 72 hours. Your hair will love this nourishing, humidity-resistant formula because it hydrates and softens frizz-prone hair types without adding excess weight.


When you’re ready to use Nº.6, apply it to clean, damp hair. You can comb through and style your hair as needed. Start with one pump and add more as needed. You can also use Nº.6 on dry hair any time you need frizz control or added smoothing.


What Is OLAPLEX Nº.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum?

It’s time to take a look at Nº.9’s key features. OLAPLEX Nº.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum features a weightless, silicone-free formula that provides 48-hour pollution protection and shields hair from heat damage up to 450°F. Use Nº.9 when you want to prevent tangles, and static or when you want to give your hair a smooth, satin-shine look.


Nº.9 should be the first step in your styling routine. When using Nº.9, apply a small amount to clean, damp hair and work upward from ends to roots. Style your hair as usual Use it on days when you wash your hair and any days in between for added protection.


Do I Need Nº.6 or Nº.9?

Using a blow-dryer or other heat-styling tools can damage your hair over time, leading to split ends, breakage, or rough or dry hair. If you use hot tools, you might want to use Nº.9 since it guards your hair from high temperatures. If you live in an area with heavy pollution, Nº.9 is also a smart choice for your haircare routine since it protects your hair from it.


If your main haircare concern is frizz and smoothness, use Nº.6 Bond Smoother. This humidity-resistant styling cream reduces frizz for up to 72 hours and helps provide smooth-looking hairstyles.


Both of these products have major haircare benefits. The main difference between the two is that Nº.9 is a serum for heat and pollution protection, while Nº.6 is a leave-in styling cream for reducing frizz and smoothing your hair.


Can I Use Nº.9 with Nº.6?

Yes, you can use Nº.6 and Nº.9 together to reduce frizz and protect your hair from heat and pollution. If you’re going to use the two together, we recommend applying No.9 to your hair first, then follow with Nº.6 and style your hair as usual. Air-dry your hair for a soft texture or blow-dry for a smooth finish. If you have waves or curls, you can diffuse your hair.
