The 2 New Launches That Could Transform Your Hair

If you’ve coloured, heat-styled or just generally put your hair through its paces, you need to try Olaplex’s bond-building formulas. And now’s the perfect time – the brand has just launched two new masks that aim to seal cuticles for up to five washes, locking in hydration, strength and beautifully healthy hair wash after wash. Designed for different hair types but with the same strengthening and reparative properties as the rest of the line, here’s what you need to know about these latest additions…

Created in partnership with OLAPLEX

THE NEW LAUNCH

Weightless Nourishing Mask, £39

Best for: fine to medium hair

Fine to medium hair is notoriously tricky to look after – it needs hydration but anything too rich leaves it feeling heavy and flat. This mask is lightweight enough to preserve bounce but still delivers serious moisture and shine. This instantly volumizing hair mask for fine hair to medium hair is formulated with Biomimetic Cuticle Technology to lock in lightweight hydration and seal hair cuticles for 5 washes. It immediately boosts shine, reduces breakage, and helps prevent snapping wash after wash to support length retention over time. Meanwhile, a volume boost complex adds the kind of lift that actually lasts beyond the first blow-dry. In trials, it delivered twice the volume instantly, 63% more shine and a 32% reduction in breakage.

Rich Hydration Mask, £39

Best for: medium to coarse hair

Thicker, coarser hair often craves more – more slip, more moisture, more frizz control – and this richer mask delivers exactly that. Alongside the bond-building complex, it’s powered by an avocado and shea conditioning complex to replenish hydration and smooth the hair cuticle. The results speak for themselves – 16 times more hydration, 71% less breakage and 74% less frizz, even in humid climates. Hair feels softer, looks shinier and becomes more resilient with every use.

Available here.

The Routine

Olaplex fans will know the brand’s shampoos and conditioners come in two versions. If you already use the Fine Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner, add the Weightless Nourishing Mask to your routine once a week in place of your conditioner. If you’re loyal to the classic No.4 and No.5 Bond Maintenance duo, the Rich Hydration Mask is a natural match. Whatever your starting point, the finishing touches stay the same – No.6 Bond Smoother and No.7 Bonding Oil to tame frizz, add shine and protect against heat.

The Tips

Customise your masking: there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to hair. If your roots get flat but your ends are dry, apply the Weightless Nourishing Mask through the mid-lengths while focusing the Rich Hydration Mask on the ends. It’s the easiest way to balance volume with moisture.

Less is more: these masks are highly concentrated. A walnut-sized amount is plenty and once or twice a week is enough. Over-using them won’t deliver better results – it can actually weigh the hair down, so think of them as weekly boosters.

Work it through properly: don’t just smooth the mask on and leave it. Use a wide-tooth comb in the shower to distribute the formula evenly and detangle at the same time. It ensures every strand is coated, which is what gives that salon-like finish.

Time it right: three to five minutes is all you need. Pop it on while you shave your legs or exfoliate, then rinse. Anything longer won’t overload the hair but the formulas are designed to work quickly, so everything is efficient.


THE REVIEWS

This REVIVED My Hair: My hair was dry, fragile and looked so damaged – after one application of this mask, IT CAME BACK TO LIFE. It’s now soft, shiny and hydrated, with noticeably less frizz even in humidity. I’ve had SO MANY COMPLIMENTS and will definitely repurchase.
PERFECT For My Curly Hair: This works beautifully on my curls. It LEAVES THEM SILKY, SMOOTH AND SOFT– even when I straighten my hair, it feels healthier and more manageable.
LOVE This New Launch: The Rich Hydration Mask is a GAME-CHANGER FOR DRY, UNRULY HAIR. The scent is fresh and subtle, and the TEXTURE LEFT MY HAIR FEELING SILKY, smooth and easy to style. No frizz in sight.
