Weightless Nourishing Mask vs. Rich Hydration Mask: what's the difference?

Weightless Nourishing Mask vs. Rich Hydration Mask: What's the Difference?

OLAPLEX® has added two hair masks to its care range: the Weightless Nourishing Mask and the Rich Hydration Mask. But how do you know which mask to choose? It mainly depends on your hair type, texture, and needs. Here's a comparison to help you better understand these two masks.

What is a hair mask and do I need one?

If your hair is dry, dull, frizzy, damaged, or brittle, you might need a hair mask.

Hair masks are deep conditioning treatments that you leave on for a few minutes before rinsing. They are generally used once a week. Hair masks help to:

Soften hair
Hydrate it
Reduce frizz
Limit damage and breakage
Make hair stronger and shinier

Hair mask vs. conditioner: what's the difference?

Hair masks are more concentrated and intense moisturizing treatments, to be used only once a week. They penetrate deeper into each hair fiber than a conditioner.

Using a mask too often can therefore become counterproductive and cause product buildup on the hair.

Conditioners, like the Nº.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, also moisturize hair, but their formula is light enough for daily use. They provide the right amount of hydration for everyday needs.

If I use a hair mask, do I need a conditioner?

Both conditioners and hair masks are excellent ways to hydrate hair. If you are primarily looking for soft and well-hydrated hair, it is beneficial to include both a mask and a conditioner in your hair routine, but not on the same wash day.

Should I use conditioner after a hair mask?

Since hair masks provide intense hydration, there's no need to use a conditioner after a mask. Use your hair mask once a week instead of your conditioner.

Who is the Weightless Nourishing Mask for?

If you have fine to medium hair, the Weightless Nourishing Mask is for you.

Not sure if your hair is fine or medium? Rub a strand of hair between your fingers. If you can barely feel it, you likely have fine hair. If you have medium hair, you'll be able to feel the strand between your fingers, but it won't feel coarse.

The Weightless Nourishing Mask provides lightweight hydration for up to five washes*, which is particularly important for fine hair, as excess product can weigh it down and make it lose volume.

But the Weightless Nourishing Mask goes beyond hydration for fine to medium hair textures. Its key benefits include:

Instant volume that lasts all day
2x more instant hydration and 1.5x more hydration after 5 washes
Less breakage and breakage prevention, even after five washes
63% more shine

For best results, use the Weightless Nourishing Mask once a week on wet hair, after shampooing.

Pro tip: if you have fine hair, use the Nº.4FINE Bond Maintenance® Shampoo for lasting volume, body, and bounce. Apply the Weightless Nourishing Mask to lengths and ends for 3 to 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Getting hydrated, shiny hair is as simple as that.

Who is the Rich Hydration Mask for?

The Rich Hydration Mask is perfect for medium to thick hair.

Not sure if you have thick hair? Run your fingers over a strand of hair. If the strand is easy to feel between your fingers or feels coarse, you most likely have thick hair.

The benefits of the Rich Hydration Mask include:

74% reduction in frizz all day long
16 times more instant hydration*
6 times more hydration after 5 washes*
119% more shine

* On bleached hair strands.

Like the Weightless Nourishing Mask, the Rich Hydration Mask should be used once a week for best results.

If I have medium hair texture, which mask should I choose?

Both the Weightless Nourishing Mask and the Rich Hydration Mask are suitable for medium hair textures. So you might be wondering which one is best for you.

Our advice: consider your hair goals. If you're looking for volume, choose the Weightless Nourishing Mask for twice the volume. If frizz control is your priority, opt for the Rich Hydration Mask.

Hair masks like the Weightless Nourishing Mask and the Rich Hydration Mask are a quick and easy solution to help treat dry or damaged hair at home. Also discover how OLAPLEX improves hair health or take the Hair Quiz to get a personalized OLAPLEX routine.
