OLAPLEX No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask, (Pack of 1)

Product Information

I will, but I won’t be diligent and regular with it. I don’t like to use any hair product on too much of a consistent basis because my hair stops responding. I will say this: the whole shebang of pre, during, and post Olaplex products are the way to go for me, to ensure strong hair before highlights. I am certain it kept my hair from breaking until I decide to do something stupid with it next month. Tilden Bissell, Digital Designer Long story short, I used it three times a week without fail and within three months the softness and elasticity returned. So I've been convinced bythe genuine science behind Olaplex for some time now. A beauty editor's honest review of the Olaplex No.8 Mask Pros & cons Generally speaking, how much damage do you do to your hair? On a scale of 1 to 10—one being the least amount of damage and 10 being the most—how much do you think your hair goes through on a monthly basis? Until recently, I’ve always had something of an au naturel approach when it comes to hair care. I would most definitely be shamed by any beauty guru for my excessive shampooing, and I’ve never dyed my hair, let alone styled it regularly. My hair doesn’t hold product or style well, so my ethos for a majority of my life has been to let it live as it pleases. That is, until the last two years, when I simultaneously grew out my hair and discovered the blow dryer. Nowadays, I blow dry my hair after every single shampoo, and as a repercussion I’ve noticed newfound damage. Considering that I haven’t had bouncy hair since seventh grade, I would definitely use the products again. But despite company claims that their “patented active chemistry works on a molecular level to repair damaged and broken bonds,” I will never love any product enough to risk damaging or breaking the bond between me and my hairdresser.

8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask! - OLAPLEX Inc. Introducing Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask! - OLAPLEX Inc.

OLAPLEX Nº.8 goes a step further by using top-quality ingredients powered by OLAPLEX Technology. The weightless texture fully absorbs into the hair and provides residual benefits that last multiple shampoos. It performs most economically and efficiently with an airless pump to control the proper dose for your hair type and texture. No. 4 is a reparative and nourishing shampoo that will supplement the protection that your hair is already benefiting from by you using products No. 0 – 3. It has a pH balance of 6 – 6.5, which aids its restorative properties. Olaplex No.8 is a highly concentrated repair mask; one push on the airless pump will dispense the right amount of product to add shine and body as well as infusing copious amounts of moisture into frazzled, damaged hair when the cuticle is open.Whether you have naturally blonde hair or blond hair coloring or highlights, skip Olaplex’s No. 4 shampoo and use No. 4-P instead. No. 4-P is a purple shampoo designed to help blonde hair maintain its brilliant color. So, your hairdresser will rinse your hair and then comb Olaplex No. 2 through your hair, leaving it on for a minimum of 10 – 20 minutes. Doing so is essential, especially for hair colorings, as Olaplex No. 1 alone cannot combat all the damaging effects of hair color. I think various stylists have used the salon-strength versions on me post-color, but I can’t be sure as I’m usually either daydreaming or straining to use my smartphone when at the shampoo basin. I found that it's the perfect booster product and I like to rotate it with No.3, a repairing treatment with a higher percentage of bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, so I get the best of both worlds: happy bonds and that light-reflecting sheen that you normally have to sacrifice if you want bleached blonde hair.

This concentrated formula absorbs deeply to treat damage without weighing the hair down. With Nº.8, you can feel the difference as soon as the product works; the hair becomes smooth and soft. Less is more with Nº.8! It performs most economically and efficiently, so no need to coat the hair excessively and waste product. Prepare yourself to see a 180 change with your damaged hair when you apply Olaplex by following the steps below. 1. Visit the SalonI used it twice. The first time I only used the shampoo and hair mask, and left the mask on for 30 minutes. Once I rinsed, my hair felt really lustrous and soft, but more importantly, stronger and fuller. I used it a second time three weeks later. I was about to get highlights for the first time in 10 months, so this time around I used not just the mask but all of the the Olaplex prep products, too: the No. 0 spray, the No. 3, and the mask; when I got out of the shower, I applied a little of the No. 6 heat protectant styling cream. I loved it. My hair was bouncy and felt even softer, but still maintained body. The result was even better with the pre and post products. Plus, the softness and fullness lasted for a few days, not even changing after being exposed to outdoor weather. How much damage do you do to your hair?

In addition, you’re sure to love its rich lather, which will leave your hair feeling cleaner and more toned than possibly any shampoo you’ve used in the past. In fact, Olaplex claims that their No. 4-P formula will leave your hair three times brighter than other purple shampoos for blondes.

Olaplex encourages users to leave No. 2 on their hair even past the 20-minute mark. They say that the longer you leave it on, the more effective it’ll be. Step 1: Work out how much product is needed. Start with 2 pumps for shoulder-length hair; use less or more depending on length. Hello, my name is Sandra, and I’m a hair-aholic. (I even wrote a story for this magazine about my blow-dry addiction, which turned into a rather mortifying segment on Good Morning America.) I’d put my damage rating at a nine; I used to go to the salon three times a week (which isn’t all that uncommon in New York City) for primping and pressing, and dyed my hair for fun (like the time in the 1990s I had my highlights painted to match a favorite Gucci coat). Now I color out of dire necessity, and am generally deflated by the toll vanity has taken on my fragile and thinning tresses.
