nᴼ..3Hair Perfection™101
Nᴼ.3Hair Perfector™ is often considered an Olaplex signature product. Pre-shampoo treatment is pre-injected with Olaplex Bond Building Technology® to repair and strengthen hair from the inside. Hair also has benefits.
- Reduces breakage for visible, strong hair.
- Restores a healthy look and texture.
- Repair and protection from the inside.
How Olaplex BondBuilding® works
Nᴼ.3 uses Olaplex BondBuilding Technology® to repair hair bonds. Your hair is mainly made of fibrous proteins that are bound by keratin. The bond that gives the hair strength and stability is called disulfide bonds. This is a sturdy chemical bond that cannot be broken by water alone. If these bonds are damaged by chemicals, heat, color or styling friction, your hair will become brittle, dry and frizzy. Olaplex penetrates deeply, repairs these bonds and restores hair health. This technology works with all hair types, making it easy for anyone to create bond building routines at home.
nᴼ.8 Bonding Strong Moisture Mask 101
The nᴼ.8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask also includes Olaplex BondBuilding Technology®, but adds more moisture to your hair. This highly concentrated supplement mask enhances glow and smoothness of all hair types. It provides intense, zero gravity moisture in just 10 minutes and makes your hair healthier.
Which product should I choose?
Choosing nᴼ.3 and nᴼ.8 depends on your hair needs. If your hair needs deep repairs, go to nᴼ.3. If it’s craving intense moisture, nᴼ.8 is your best bet. nᴼ.3 is a bond treatment that repairs hair without excess moisture, and nᴼ.8 is all about intense hydration. Finally, if you are air drying your hair, complete the routine and seal the split ends with nᴼ.5 Vacation Moisture & Mend Leave-In Conditioner.
How to use nᴼ.3 and nᴼ.8
Another difference between these products is how they are used. Before washing, apply nᴼ.3 to damp hair from root to edge. For nᴼ.8, apply after washing your hair and use it modestly with the roots.
Use nᴼ.3 and nᴼ.8 together
If your hair needs moisture and repair, use both nᴼ.8 and nᴼ.3 on the day of washing. Apply nᴼ.3 from root to edge onto damp hair, leave it alone for 10 minutes before shampooing. Follow up with nᴼ.8 as a conditioner alternative. Rinse, glow, smooth, rinse for your body and leave for 10 minutes.
