Everything you need to know about Olaplex No.8

What is Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask?

Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask is created to replenish moisture, prevent breakage and reduce frizz in dry hair. This product is suitable for all hair types, but as all Olaplex products, its goal to repair broken bonds is hair. So Olaplex No.8 should be used mostly on damaged hair. If you apply it to healthy hair you will not see a big difference. 

The main ingredient of Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask

Olaplex No. 8 has olive oil-based formula with panthenol (provitamin B5). Panthenol can penetrate the cortex of the hair easily to infuse moisture without the use of oils or heavy ingredients that could weigh down your locks or leave your hair feeling greasy.

Why Olaplex No 8 Moisture Mask is good for dry and damaged hair

Well, first of all: panthenol! Panthenol penetrates the cortex to infuse moisture without oils or heavy ingredients that could weigh down the hair. But this is not an only ingredient that make this mask a very powerful moisturizer, such as cetrimonium chloride which seals the cuticles for enhanced smoothness and shine. 

How to use Olaplex No 8 Moisture Mask?

Olaplex No 8 has a creamy, moisturizing and rich consistency and therefore much thicker than the rest of the Olaplex products. Apply an even layer from mid-length to ends on wet or towel-dried hair (avoiding roots). Leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water until product is completely removed. If you do not remove Olaplex No 8 all the way, it will start to set like a gel in your hair which could be impossible to comb out after that point! Though the mask does not have any negative effects when left in. So if you can't be bothered removing it just remember to style your hair wet.

How often should I use Olaplex No 8? Well, apply it once a week until desired results are achieved. 

To achieve better results apply Olaplex No.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask after Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo.

Is Olaplex No 8 good for natural hair?

Absolutely! Just like the other products in the Olaplex range, Olaplex No. 8 is suitable for all hair types. It can be used on pre-treat, post-treatment and between salon visits to prevent damage due to heat styling, chemical treatment or colouring that breaks down your protective layers (cuticles). This means that you do not need to use any other leave-in conditioners after applying it, although it would be best to try an oil or butter based product before blow drying if you're trying to combat frizziness. Or just skip from washing your hair from one week up to two weeks - depending how often you shampoo your hair it might be worth giving it a try.
