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

Product Information

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.

So what is Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask and how is it different to the original Olaplex product that started it all, Olaplex No. 3? Olaplex Hair Perfector No.3 Home Treatment is not a conditioner or a hair mask, but a weekly pre-shampoo reparative treatment. You apply on dry hair and leave in for 20-30 minutes before shampooing to repair weak, damaged hair.Ever wondered whether a new beauty launch or trending product is truly worth the hype? If so, you’re in the right place. I Just Tried… is our beauty column where we test out everything from new formulations to cult classics to find out whether they’re really worth your money. Oh, and we’ll answer the most-searched-for questions so you don’t have even have to ask. Olaplex No.8 does not replace Olaplex No.3. Rather, it takes the place of your conditioner or weekly hair mask to repair bonds and add intense moisture. You apply it after shampooing, and leave on for five to 10 minutes before rinsing out.

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. 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.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 I'm going to keep this intro really brief because the (and much-hyped) Olaplex hair mask is finally here. How much damage do you do to your hair? On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you think your hair goes through on a monthly basis?

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. Contains both the Olaplex bond repair protein ingredient, plus hydrating ingredients for intense moisture.My hair has been through a lot in the past year. The culmination of not getting a cut or any treatments for months on end, experimenting with styling my natural hair texture and trialling a lot of new launches has resulted in seriously dry ends. This means that when it comes to hair-wash day I’ve been going all out to treat my strands to the most thirst-quenching and strengthening routine to avoid breakage and split ends.
