Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask builds upon the brand's renowned bond-repair technology with added hydration benefits. The formula works by reconnecting broken disulfide bonds in the hair's cortex while delivering moisture through a blend of ceramides, glycerin, and marula oil. Testers with bleached or highlighted hair report dramatic improvements in softness and manageability after just one use, with reduced breakage becoming apparent after several applications. The creamy texture spreads easily through wet hair and rinses clean without residue.
Many users appreciate that it provides deep conditioning without compromising Olaplex's signature strengthening effects. The mask is particularly effective when left on for 10-20 minutes under a shower cap, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate fully. While the jar contains less product than some drugstore options, most find a little goes a long way, especially when focusing application on mid-lengths to ends. Some with fine hair note they need to use sparingly to avoid weighing hair down. The mask works well as part of the Olaplex system but also delivers results when used alone for maintenance between salon visits.
