OLAPLEX Nº8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask 100ml

✅ Product Overview

• Product: Olaplex Nº 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask — size: 100 ml (3.3 fl oz) for the version sold in Pakistan. 

• Category: A deep-conditioning treatment mask for hair — a weekly or periodic intensive care step rather than a daily conditioner. 

• Intended for: Hair that is dry, damaged, color-treated, chemically-treated, heat-styled, or simply needing extra moisture + repair.

✨ Key Features & Benefits

• Uses Olaplex’s patented Bond Building Technology™ (Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate) to help rebuild broken hair bonds from chemical, heat or mechanical damage. 

• Delivers multiple benefits in one mask:

  • “2× more shine”

  • “4× more moisture”

  • “6× smoother hair”

  • 94% of users saw more body according to tests. 

• Suitable for all hair types and textures: straight, wavy, curly, coily; fine to thick. 

• Free from certain undesirable ingredients: many listings mention free of sulfates, phthalates, parabens, gluten-free, vegan.

🧴 How to Use

• After shampooing and rinsing, apply the mask to clean, damp hair (mid-lengths to ends). Avoid the scalp if you prefer lighter feel.

• Use 1-3 pumps (or typical amount for your hair length/thickness) — e.g., two pumps for shoulder-length hair; more for longer/thicker hair.

• Leave on for about 10 minutes. Some sources mention you can let it work its magic for that period. 

• Rinse thoroughly. Then style as usual. Use once weekly or when hair feels like it needs intensive repair.

🔍 Ingredients & Technology Highlights

• The key technology is the bond-building molecule mentioned above (Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate) which works to reconnect broken disulfide bonds inside the hair shaft

• Also includes hydrating and smoothing ingredients (reports mention ceramides, hyaluronic acid, nourishing oils such as rice bran oil, avocado oil, sunflower seed oil) supporting moisture + shine. 

• The mask may contain silicones and other smoothing/emollient agents (based on ingredient discussions online). Some users highlight this when considering hair type/texture. 

👍 Pros & 👎 Cons (Based on User Feedback)

Pros:

• Users report visible improvement in hair texture: smoother, shinier, less frizzy. For example:

  “After using two of them together my hair is smoother, less dry and looks healthier.” 

• Good for giving hair a “salon-quality” feel at home.

• Effective for repairing damage when used correctly.

Cons / Things to Watch:

Price: It’s a premium product and some users question cost vs results

• For some textures (especially thick curly/coily hair), the feel (due to silicones/emollients) may be heavy or may require careful portioning. 

• Some users claim the bond-repairing agent is further down the ingredient list, suggesting the “repair” effect may be less dramatic than marketing implies. 

• As with any intensive mask: you’ll still need good routine and may want clarifier/detox or regular conditioner/maintenance in between.

🎯 Who It’s Best For

• Individuals whose hair is visibly dry, brittle, chemically or heat-damaged, or has gone through bleaching/colouring.

• Those wanting a weekly intensive treatment rather than only occasional.

• Users who don’t mind investing in a premium hair mask and prefer fewer products with stronger effect.

• People whose hair needs both repair + moisture + smoothness + shine in one go.

🚫 Who Might Need to Be Cautious

• Very fine hair that tends to weigh down or become greasy easily — you may need to use a smaller amount or avoid applying near roots.

• People seeking pure bond repair only (without many emollients) — this product blends moisture + repair + smoothing, so it's more “all-in-one”.

• Budget conscious users may want to compare cost-per-use vs other masks.

• If you have scalp sensitivity: note the Safety Data Sheet shows “Causes mild skin irritation” for skin contact in certain test settings. 

🔧 My Verdict

Olaplex Nº 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask is a strong contender in the hair-treatment/mask category. If your hair has been through rough times (bleaching, styling, dryness), and you want both structural repair and premium moisture/smoothness, this is a very good option. That said, like any treatment product, results depend on your hair’s starting condition, how consistently you use it, and your overall hair-care routine.

If I were recommending: Use this once a week for 10 minutes after shampooing, rinse thoroughly, then follow with a lighter conditioner if needed. In between treatments, keep your routine simple but supportive (e.g., sulfate-free shampoo, good conditioner, minimal heat). Over 4-8 weeks you should see improvements in shine, manageability and feel
