OLAPLEX - N°. 10 Bond Shaper™ Curl Defining Gel

The OLAPLEX Nº. 10 Bond Shaper Curl Defining Gel is a curl gel. It brings the natural curl pattern in wavy and curly hair to life. The gel hydrates and defines curls without leaving a stiff feeling. It suits wavy hair, curly hair and coily hair, in particular if you want definition without your hair feeling stiff.

Who is the OLAPLEX Nº. 10 Bond Shaper Curl Defining Gel for?

OLAPLEX tags the Nº. 10 Bond Shaper Curl Defining Gel for three hair types: wavy hair, curly hair and coily hair. The gel brings your own curl pattern to life, from loose waves to tight curls. Nº. 10 suits you if you want a gel that defines curls without a stiff feeling. For straight or slightly wavy hair without pronounced curl, a smoothing product is a more logical choice than a curl gel. The OLAPLEX Nº. 6 Bond Smoother is a good example.

How do you use the OLAPLEX Nº. 10 Bond Shaper Curl Defining Gel?

Apply the gel to clean, wet hair and spread it evenly with your fingers. Then scrunch your hair in an upward motion to activate the curl, or use the technique you're already used to. Use the gel after washing, or at any other moment you want to restyle.

Active ingredients

Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. The substance behind OLAPLEX's Bond Building Technology, present throughout the whole Nº. range. A bond is a chemical connection between molecules in the hair fibre. OLAPLEX calls this the core of the formula behind healthier-looking hair.

Hydroxyethylcellulose and Cetyl Hydroxyethylcellulose. Thickening agents that give the gel its structure and viscosity, contributing to hold in the curl.

Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride and Polyquaternium-10. Conditioning polymers that make hair easier to detangle and reduce frizz.

Acacia Senegal Gum. A plant-based gum used in styling products to hold the shape of the curl.

Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil and Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil. Nourishing plant oils that give hair a smoother, glossier finish.

Glycerin. A moisture-binding substance that attracts moisture, for hair that feels less dry during styling.

Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol and Xylitol. A group of moisture-binding substances based on plant sugars that together contribute to hair hydration.

The ingredient list contains no sulphates or parabens. The gel is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.
