The 2 New Launches That Could Transform Your Hair
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.
