Olaplex 8 is a reparative MASK, used after you shampoo your hair. While the Olaplex 6 is a styling TREATMENT.
Another difference is that Olaplex 6 adds moisture, strengthens, and reduces frizz for up to 72 hours. Olaplex 8 moisturizes, smooths, and adds body & shine to the hair.
The final difference that I want to highlight, is that Olaplex 6 can be used daily on wet or dry hair for styling. For Olaplex 8, you only need to use it once a week.
The most important question to ask is if your hair needs some serious moisture and smoothing. I think a good hair mask is better than adding styling products.
Yes, these two Olaplex products work very well together. The results from adding both will be hydrated and smooth hair.
After shampoo apply Olaplex 8 then wash out after 8+ minutes. Once hair is towel dried, apply Olaplex 6 to mid-length to ends, comb and style as desired.
