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

Product Information

There’s a new OLAPLEX treatment in town! Say hello to OLAPLEX Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask, the new treatment that moisturizes, smooths, adds body and shine. Infused in Nº.8 is OLAPLEX’s patented Bond Building technology. This highly concentrated reparative mask provides intense moisture to treat damaged hair. For the most profound repair possible at home, use Nº.8 in conjunction with Nº.0 Intense Bond Building Hair Treatment + Nº.3 Hair Perfector once a week or as needed. Use No.8 weekly for healthy hair. Curly or color-treated hair that needs more moisture can apply 2-3 times per week. You cannot overuse any OLAPLEX products, so treat the hair as often as you or your stylist see fit. In addition to blondes, people with lightened and grey hair can also benefit from this product. Olaplex No. 4-P is so effective for these hair types because it neutralizes brassiness thanks to its sulfate-free properties. 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.

To use it, squirt the shampoo in your hand according to the length of your hair. Then, massage it into your scalp. 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.

Absolutely! I had only been using the No. 3 product before, but I could feel a distinct difference in the texture and health of my hair with the addition of the No. 0 and especially the No. 8 mask. I’m debating getting some highlights next time I go to get my hair done, and Olaplex will definitely come in handy with any damage that might occur. Erin Meagher, Senior Designer 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? It’s safe to use Olaplex No. 4 daily, although many salons recommend less frequent shampooing for hair health. Then again, research shows that daily washing reduces the amount of the stress hormone cortisol. I 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.

I Tried Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask: Review I Tried Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask: Review

After washing the Olaplex off and immediately blow drying, my hair was incredibly voluminous. Truly, it was like nothing I had seen before—not untamed and most definitely not coarse. On the second day, my hair settled and was so much silkier, shinier, and smoother. Most impressive of all, my hair wasn’t as oily as usual. A win-win. This product definitely worked for me. I used the Olaplex No. 8 after shampooing and applied it to the middle and ends of my hair. I’ve always had oily hair, and my one hesitation was the mask being too moisturizing, especially anywhere near my oil-prone roots. There is a definite scent to be wary of, but I didn’t mind– in a way, it felt like an olfactory reminder that, yes, I had a hair mask on and it was working. 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. Step 1: Work out how much product is needed. Start with 2 pumps for shoulder-length hair; use less or more depending on length.How much damage do you do to your hair?

You can expect Olaplex’s powerful formula to impress you up to this point. So, this is when many people choose to begin using Olaplex No. 4, which is a shampoo. 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. 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.

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!

In fact, Olaplex claims that their No. 4-P formula will leave your hair three times brighter than other purple shampoos for blondes.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.
