2. How to use Olaplex 8 step by step

This wonderful mask is very easy to use, and best of all, it does not need to sit on the hair for too long. My best recommendation is that you have a routine in which you can use it frequently between washes.
Remember that it is always better to use the treatments consistently (even less often), than to use it many times in a few weeks and then stop it.
Constancy is the key to success in treatments!
You should ideally use the Olaplex 8 mask once a week. That is, between washes of your frequent shampoo.
However, if you only wash your hair once a week, I recommend using it once every two weeks. In this way you will take care that your hair does not get oversaturated with nutrition (which causes caking)!
Step by step
- First, detangle your hair well before starting the treatment. You can use a few drops of Olaplex bonding oil 7 for better results. Find out more about how to use the Olaplex bonding oil in this article.
- Moisten and wash your hair thoroughly twice. This will help remove all residue and buildup from the scalp. The new 4C clarifying shampoo will be a good ally!
- Then, squeeze your hair well and dry it with a towel. Ideally, you should remove as much excess water as you can.
- Use 3 to 5 pressures of the mask (depending on how much hair you have), and apply the product from the middle to the ends, massaging your hair well.
- Wait about 10 minutes for the treatment to act in depth.
- Lastly, rinse your hair! I recommend that you rinse your hair a little more deeply to thoroughly remove the residue from the mask. This way you will achieve an effect of more volume.

How to complement it with other products
Now that you know how to use this powerful mask, I will tell you a very important tip:
If you use your Olaplex 8 mask combined with the other products in the line, you can enhance its effects by up to 200%.
The truth is that if you use your weekly treatment with a low-quality shampoo (like the ones in the supermarket), you will be wasting the product. This happens because commercial shampoos leave a silicone layer on the hair that prevents the mask from penetrating the hair.
My best recommendation is that you combine this treatment with Olaplex bonding shampoo 4 from the same Olaplex line. This way you will really feel a result!
On the other hand, the Olaplex bonding oil 7 is another of the best complements for this treatment. You can use this oil as:
- Pre-treatment at the time of detangling.
- Mixed with the mask for a more softening action.
- As finished when styling your hair.
If you use the three steps: Shampoo, mask and oil, I assure you that you will notice a much deeper difference!

Finally, I would like to advise you that if you have time, you dare to use the mask as a night treatment so that it works all night on your hair. You can apply it this way once a month. And you will feel your hair much softer!
Until next time!
