Product Information

Yes! We love a before and after here at Sally Beauty, especially when your results are more than visible. With scientifically proven results of 68% more repair & 3x stronger hair* (*When used as a two-part system in just one use) using 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) 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. Using your fingers, apply the No.8 to freshly shampooed, damp hair from the mid-lengths to the ends. 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.

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 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 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. Apply the No.0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment to small sections by squeezing the liquid into the hair to be absorbed. 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.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. You should always apply Olaplex No.0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment on dry hair. When it comes to how much to use, it’s good to lightly saturate each section of dry hair for the 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. 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.

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 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 Nº.5 is your daily conditioner. It provides the hair with the key components of a conditioner and the repair from the active ingredient. Nº.8 takes it a step further, providing the hair with extra moisture while being lightweight and leaving the hair healthy with body and fullness, including the active ingredient’s hair repair. 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. Olaplex has single-handedly saved my hair while I was still bleaching it—I was blonde for most of college and my first few years of living in New York, and my hair’s quality dramatically changed for the better when I added the bond-building product to my routine. My hair definitely isn’t in as dire shape as it was then, but I was hoping for refreshed, touchably soft hair that has been eluding me lately.

Step 1: Work out how much product is needed. Start with 2 pumps for shoulder-length hair; use less or more depending on length. 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. 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 Long story short, I used it three times a week without fail and within three months the softness and elasticity returned. So I've been convinced bythe genuine science behind Olaplex for some time now. A beauty editor's honest review of the Olaplex No.8 Mask Pros & cons 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.

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 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 Generally speaking, how much damage do you do to your hair?
