How to Use Nº.8 on Different Hair Textures

Is your hair dry or damaged? Or maybe even a little bit of both? OLAPLEX Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask is the moisture mask that simultaneously rebuilds bonds while nourishing your hair with intense moisture. Every hair texture, type, and color benefit from moisturized, healthy hair, making Nº.8 completely inclusive whether you have fine, coarse, straight, curly, gray, color-processed, virgin, or damaged hair! The mask is and easily works itself into your routine. While putting Nº.8 in your hair should follow a ‘less is more’ approach, some hair textures and types require more product, such as coarse or curly hair.


What Is Nº.8?

Nº. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask is a deep conditioning treatment formulated with scientifically proven OLAPLEX Bond Building Technology™. Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask aims to address a crucial element to healthy hair––moisture––while rebuilding the hair bonds to strengthen it. Incorporating Nº.8 into your routine is a game-changer! As with all OLAPLEX products, Nº.8 is compatible with every hair type. Deep hydration paired with repair is a must for virgin to highly compromised hair.

Nº.8 moisturizes and adds shine, softness, smoothness, and strength to all hair textures. From fine to coarse, each hair texture benefits from a different routine, but the need for hydration and moisture is universal. Customizing the Nº.8 mask for your hair texture is ideal for keeping your unique head of hair on point.


Hair Masks on Fine or Thin Hair

Are you looking for a moisturizer for fine or thin hair? A moisturizing mask like Nº.8 can add shine, smoothness, and body to your hair. Fine or thin hair is sensitive to masks and products’ weight, meaning with too much product, the hair feels weighed down. For Nº.8, ‘less is more’ is a rule of thumb and a great starting place for fine-haired friends. Start with one pump of Nº.8 and work through freshly cleansed hair. There’s no need to coat the hair excessively to see the product build up; it will only go down the drain. Although you can use Nº.8 is as often as needed, healthy fine or thin hair typically benefits most from a moisturizing treatment once a week.


Hair Masks on Coarse or Thick Hair

Coarse and thick hair are prone to dryness, making moisturizing hair masks a must. For coarse texture or thick hair, apply two pumps of No.8 or more as needed to coat the hair thoroughly. Using copious amounts of conditioner might be familiar for saturation, but Nº.8’s elevated formula focuses on quality ingredients that do all the work once the product touches the hair. Treat coarse hair with a mask once weekly or more if needed. Coarse, thick, and curly hair err on the thirsty side and love a dose of hydration!


Hair Masks on Damaged or Over Processed Hair

Damaged hair deserves a moisturizing mask. Nº.8 can take your hair from damaged to visibly healthier. For damaged or highly processed hair, assess your hair regularly to see what it needs. Typically, damaged hair is dry and crunchy and benefits from a couple of treatments a week to get it in shape. Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask is all about TLC!


Hair masks like Nº.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask are a fast and simple way to remedy dry or damaged hair at home. Find more haircare products that can help add moisture to your hair or repair damage.
