One pump doesn’t look like much, but it spreads through damp hair SO easily and you could really feel it sinking into the hair.I’ve known about Olaplex for many years. 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. This product is more than just an oil—it smooths and conditions as well as protects hair while heat styling. You need the tiniest amount on damp or dry hair for luxe styling. 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. Contains both the Olaplex bond repair protein ingredient, plus hydrating ingredients for intense moisture.
OLAPLEX Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask The New OLAPLEX Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask
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.

What Is Olaplex and How Does Olaplex Work?Short version: Olaplex started as an in-salon hair treatment. The products are made with a patented ingredient that works to restore the 'disulfide bonds' that hold your hair together (pretty cool huh?!). Who is Olaplex No.8 best for? Anyone and everyone, it's a great multi-tasking all-rounder hair mask. Even those who have virgin hair that's never been coloured can use Olaplex No.8. How to Use Olaplex No.8. Step 4: Replace the Olaplex No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner 250ml once a week with the Olaplex No.8 mask. My hair felt smoother and looked SO much healthier. And maybe this is a coincidence, but every time I use Olaplex No.8, I get SO many compliments on my hair the next day. 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.
