Potion 9 is part of the way we create hair at OLETTE. We use it, we love it, and it earns its place because care and styling work together in one product. Think soft movement, flexible control and a finish you still want to run your fingers through.
Why we love it.
For us, great styling is as much about how hair feels as how it looks. Potion 9 brings conditioning, shine and light, flexible hold into the same step. We love that balance when the brief is hair with shape and movement, rather than a finish that feels rigid.
It is a leave-in conditioning styler, so it stays in the hair. We can work it through damp hair before styling, or use it on dry hair when a look needs more texture and control. Your stylist will show you where it fits and how to apply it for your hair.
Conditioned. Touchable.
Ready to make your own.
The result we love.
Softness with a little structure. Shine without losing personality. Potion 9 suits the kind of styling we love: considered, wearable and still full of movement.
The amount and placement matter. We tailor those details to your texture, density and chosen finish, so the product supports the look rather than becoming the look.
Part of our Sebastian story.
We use and love the full Sebastian Professional range at OLETTE. It is one of our hero collections, giving us room to move between care, texture, volume, control and shine. Potion 9 is one spotlight within that much bigger styling wardrobe.
That is why our recommendations start in the chair. The products we use to create your finish also give us a practical way to show you how to recreate it at home.
Take the finish home.
