Product Information

Step 1: Work out how much product is needed. Start with 2 pumps for shoulder-length hair; use less or more depending on length.

All Olaplex products will restore your hair’s bonds and shine, and afro hair is easily the best texture to highlight these qualities. One of the most beautiful and natural textures, it’s also one of the most difficult to maintain. This 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? If your hair is seriously compromised, Jenni Mennella, senior director of global education at Olaplex, recommends a three-step application combining the brand'sNo 0 Intensive Bond Building Treatmentand No 3 Hair Perfectorfor deeper repair, followed by Olaplex No 8. The verdict: Is the Olaplex No.8 Mask worth it?

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. Use Nº.8 as often as needed to rebalance the moisture in the hair. You can not overuse OLAPLEX Nº.8; many people use it as often as every wash. 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? 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.

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 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. best results. This product is for all hair types, especially those with visible damage. Take a look at the video below to see how the process can work for you. 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

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. 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. If you haven’t heard, Nº.8 is the latest family member of the OLAPLEX line. Bond Intense Moisture Mask is a concentrated treatment that moisturizes, smooths, adds body, and shine. Nº.8 fully absorbs into the hair to treat damage without weighing the hair down. 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.

Lightly saturate. Your hair should be damp but not drenched. Let this process for 10 minutes and do not rinse. Apply the No.3 Hair Perfector (read on to find out more!) over the hair with the No.0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment still in your hair. Comb this through and leave it to process 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. is due to its wide spectrum of kink being prone to breakage, frizz and limping when coloured, relaxed or silk pressed. Even the most protective hairstyles like box braids & weaves can cause stress to its elasticity and disrupt its

Having got my mitts on the Olaplex No.8 I decided, for a brief moment, to do exactly what I was told for my hair. I freshly shampooed, applied (a few more than) the recommended 2 pumps, swooned over the delicious scent – not strictly in the instructions but I challenge you not to do the same – and worked the product through my mid-lengths to ends with my fingers. Apply to freshly shampooed, damp hair from the midlengths to the ends using your fingers (start with two pumps for shoulder-length hair and adjust the amount based on your length) 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. 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.

This is where Olaplex’s patented technology comes in. It’s designed to rebuild chemical bonds in the hair known as disulphide. Naturally curly and textured hair contains many more disulphide bonds than straight hair and break when hair Yes!

I used to get highlights with Tracey Cunningham, and about four or five years ago, my hair was in bad shape (not from the highlights, but from too many heat styling products and what I think was a bad application of a Keratin treatment—never again!). She used Olaplex No. 3 on me and my hair changed completely. It was soft to the touch and it was as if my split ends disappeared. But of course, like everything else, I forgot about using it and really stopped when I went through my no-highlight phase for a year.
