- I feel like my brain has just left the building.
Hello, welcome back to the AB channel.
I'm Millie,
and today we're gonna have a little bit of a chat about,
Rata!
Olaplex No. 8.
So, I've been out road testing this little bad boy.
Stay tuned to the end,
and we'll get to find out if Olaplex No. 8 is worth it.
Let's get into, what is she, where does she come from,
Where does she sit in the Olaplex line, how do I use her,
and what are her benefits.
If you're new here and you're like, "What is Olaplex?"
Here's a video for you.
We've already gone over all of the products
that are currently in the Olaplex range,
but for those who would prefer a TLDR,
pretty much Olaplex is one of the first of it's kind
of a patented technology, nailed it,
with the incredible bond formula.
Please check out the video.
You can find out a longer explanation there.
Now, they've added a bond intense moisture mask,
say that five times fast, so it helps to moisturise,
smooths, adds body, and add shine.
Your No. 3 is mainly focusing on strengthening,
so it's helping to rebuild the hair,
it's helping to come in there,
but it kind of comes in and it's kind of like scaffolding.
It goes, hello, I'm here.
I'm just going to wrap myself around you here.
We're going to protect you while the hair inside is healing.
Now,
this one is incredible for those
who are less focusing on strengthening,
but they also want that burst of hydration.
For most of like my curly haired friends,
for anyone struggling with frizz or anyone who just really
wants to focus on moisture and not strength.
So anyone who hasn't maybe had heaps of lightening,
who hasn't really ever coloured their hair,
and they're like, I still want my hair to feel good,
but I don't really need that strengthening base.
It's great for those kind of people.
Now I've been using this one in the traditional mask way,
which, you know,
you would do your double shampoos,
and then you would pop in a mask.
Do whatever you need to do,
have a little bit of a karaoke
in the shower for five to ten minutes.
And then rinse out.
But Olaplex also suggest that you can do an extended
routine by doing this with your number zero,
which is your pre shampoo treatment.
Leave it on for ten minutes.
You then pop your number three on top of that,
leave that on for ten minutes.
And then you hop into the shower,
shampoo your hair as normal.
And then that's where you would add to number eight.
Yes, the time killer.
You're like twenty minutes plus a five/ten in the shower.
I don't have that much time.
And let me tell you neither do I; however,
I literally washed my hair and my hair felt like silk.
I really actually really enjoy it.
I find that use minimal, minimal, minimal product, which,
you know, I don't, I don't have the most hair.
My hair is not super long.
And I find that even for myself,
I was only really needing like a half a pump to a pump.
You know, when I was in the shower,
I really squeezed out that excess moisture.
And then when I popped in the mask,
I could actually feel it, you know,
I could feel my hair starting untangle.
I could feel my hair starting to really
like take in that moisture. We love that.
For me, with a hair mask,
I want to feel like I've done a hair mask.
You know, sometimes when you do a hair mask
and it's more about the inside benefits
than it is the outside benefits.
I want that cosmetic feel where
I've just stepped out of a shampoo ad.
Like my hair better be glowing in the wind.
And let me tell you, my mind was blown.
I can't even lie. Like my mind was actually blown,
because usually after a mask for me,
sometimes my hair can feel a little bit weighted.
It just doesn't always
sometimes look its best when I do a mask,
but this one, I don't know a magic is in it.
Like it's, it's that patented technology.
Felt hydrated, it looked smooth.
My hair had body after a mask,
which was unheard of for thin, fine hair.
And it just felt incredible, and then to add on to that,
to be able to extend the routine
and go with your Olaplex zero
and your Olaplex number three
and then follow with the number eight mask.
Like my hair felt really looked after.
Like, it felt like I'd been to the salon.
It felt like I'd had that top dollar treatment.
And I was sitting at home in my hoodie.
If you're already using Olaplex
and you just want to use like a mask
and you want to slot it into your routine,
you absolutely can.
If you wanted to say just pop in,
you want it to try an Olaplex product,
this is a really great one to try.
Number three is incredible.
It is, you know, the hero product.
It is your pre shampoo treatment.
A lot of people don't have time though to dampen the hair,
do your treatment, leave it on for 30 minutes and then,
you know, follow on with your shampoo and conditioner.
So, if you're wanting something a little bit easier,
a little bit more in the
traditional sense of a haircare routine,
this is a really, really, really great one to add in.
That's about all that is it for
the brand new baby and the Olaplex family.
But if you do have any further Olaplex questions,
please feel free to leave them in the comments.
Otherwise, see you next time.
