OLAPLEX - N°. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask

The OLAPLEX Nº. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask is a hydrating hair mask from OLAPLEX's Nº. series. Within that series, OLAPLEX numbers its products by the step they fill in your hair routine. Nº. 8 is the mask you add to your routine weekly for extra moisture.

The mask works with OLAPLEX's Bond Building Technology, the patented technology found throughout the Nº. series. It targets bonds, the connections between molecules in the hair fibre. OLAPLEX Nº. 8 is free from sulfates, the cleansing agents that create foam in many shampoos but can dry out hair. The mask is also free from parabens, preservatives found in many cosmetics, and from gluten. It's 100% vegan and cruelty-free too.

Who is the OLAPLEX Nº. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask for?

The OLAPLEX Nº. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask suits all hair types, from straight to curly. Hair weakened by colouring, bleaching or frequent heat styling benefits especially from the extra moisture it provides. Naturally dry hair fits well into this routine too.

How do you use the OLAPLEX Nº. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask?

Wash your hair with shampoo first, then apply the OLAPLEX Nº. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask to clean, damp hair. Distribute the mask evenly with your fingers, from the lengths to the ends. Let it work for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water. Use the mask weekly, or more often if your hair needs it, as a supplement to your OLAPLEX routine.

How does Nº. 8 differ from the other OLAPLEX numbers?

Nº. 8 is the weekly mask in the OLAPLEX series: you apply it after washing and rinse it out after 10 minutes. Nº. 3 Hair Perfector, by contrast, is used before washing, while Nº. 4 and Nº. 5 are the shampoo and conditioner for every wash.

Active ingredients

Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate. The substance behind OLAPLEX's Bond Building Technology, found throughout the Nº. series. OLAPLEX calls this the core of the formula behind healthier, shinier-looking hair.

Panthenol. Also known as provitamin B5, an ingredient that binds moisture to the hair for a softer feel.

Glycerin. A moisture-binding ingredient that attracts moisture, for less dry-feeling hair.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic acid broken down into smaller fragments, which contributes to more moisturised, softer-feeling hair.

Camellia Sinensis Seed Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil. Plant oils from tea plant, avocado and grape seed that leave hair with a softer finish when you comb it out.

Tocopherol. Better known as vitamin E. This antioxidant captures free radicals, particles that can weaken the hair fibre over time.
