If your hair is slightly more haystack than Hadid, if you’re feeling dry, coarse, brittle and out of sorts, try the Olaplex No. 8 intense Moisture Mask. This mask does it all: it hydrates, it strengthens, it restores, it adds body and shine. For those of us with damaged hair (which, let’s be real, is most of us) it’s a must. Expect that same Olaplex strength, with an added dose of truly deep moisture. A winner. Bonus: it’s vegan and cruelty free. 

• Lightweight but potent hair mask
• Hydrates and repairs
• Adds body, shine and softness
• Absorbs easily
• Made with Olaplex’s bond repair ingredient
• Suits all hair types
• Use in place of conditioner, 1-2 times a week
• Vegan and cruelty free, paraben free
• 100ml

If your hair is both dry and damaged, this treatment has your name on it. For coloured, bleached and compromised hair, it’s a must. Particularly genius on white or grey hair, which tends to be coarser. Suitable for all hair types and textures, and safe to use on coloured hair. 

Unlike your classic Olaplex No. 3 treatment, the No. 8 mask is made to be used on clean, damp hair in place of your conditioner. Wash your hair, then squeeze out as much water as you can. You’ll want two pumps for shoulder length hair, working up or down from there in terms of quantity depending on how much hair you have. Work the product through your hair, focusing on the lengths and ends, and leave it in for 10 minutes, then rinse. 

If your hair is in particularly dire straits, you’re better off using this mask more frequently than you are leaving it on for longer.
