Our Take
A richer, more intensive hydrating mask formulated for medium to thick hair — the heavier counterpart to the Weightless Nourishing Mask. Provides deep moisture and cuticle sealing alongside the standard Olaplex bond-repair benefit. A good weekly treatment option for 3b–4c curlies with dry or coarse hair who want more conditioning power than No.8 provides. Contains silicones (cgm_modified).
