I’ve been testing numerous hair products this year to discover which ones suit my fine, fairly short, bleached locks best. Susceptible to breakage due to the bleaching process, and so delicate that most formulas weigh it down, my hair has consistently been sluggish to grow and resistant to thick or heavy haircare treatments.
So when I managed to get hold of this leave-in hair mask, I was hesitant to believe it would suit my hair type. However, I’ve been delightfully surprised.

This Hairification H24 Complex Leave-in Repair Mask has been hailed as « better than K18 and Olaplex for half the price » – a daring claim, but one that this leave-in mask actually delivers on. I’ve experienced Olaplex treatments applied to my hair at the salon, plus some K18 treatments, but I cannot distinguish between the outcomes of this leave-in mask and those premium hair products.
This Hairification Leave-in Repair Mask, available for the budget-friendly cost of £10.99 at Boots, pledges to be the ultimate secret weapon for reversing damage and restoring distressed strands to their former glory in merely four minutes. Scientifically proven to strengthen hair by up to 312%, my new Leave-In Repair Mask has been developed with exclusive ingredients for maximum effectiveness.
Its formula is packed with Fibrehance, which works to create new bonds within the hair, along with Procutigen Bond, which aids in preventing damage, breakage, and moisture loss. The leave-in mask also contains Col-Frag, which actively hydrates and smooths the hair, while Elaya Renova shields the hair from high heat and UV damage, ensuring its benefits endure long after it has been applied, reports the Mirror.
With its mix of peptides and bond-rebuilding technology, the leave-in mask is set to become a must-have for damaged, overprocessed hair, delivering visibly stronger strands in minutes, no trip to the salon required. And I can confirm, having used it for several weeks now, that all of these promises hold true.
The leave-in mask *is designed to be applied to towel-dried hair straight after a shower, which is how I’ve been using it. I’ve been teaming it with the Hairification H24 Complex Hair Repair Peptide Shampoo and Conditioner alongside the hair mask, which is perfect for achieving optimal results, though this isn’t compulsory.
I’ve also been testing out the Hairification Pure Grow Shampoo, which prioritises promoting new hair growth.
The texture of the mask is different from what I’m used to, like the Hask Repair Leave-In Treatment. It’s a cream that needs to be worked into your hands until it emulsifies and then turns into an almost paste-like consistency.
Initially, I was worried, as my fine hair often struggles to absorb thicker, heavier formulas. However, I applied the mask as directed and let it air-dry along with the rest of my hair.
Since I’ve started using this mask, my hair feels healthier, smoother and truly nourished, eliminating any dry or brittle strands and replacing them with soft and silky locks. My hair also looks healthier, with fewer flyaways and an overall shinier, sleeker look than I’ve had in a while.
The biggest advantage of this mask is that you only need to use it for the first 4 to 6 washes, and then only as needed. I began by using it after every wash and then reduced it to once a week. It’s been fantastic having a salon-like treatment in my own bathroom that I can grab and use whenever I need, without breaking the bank.
Priced at £10.99 at Boots, you can also find my new favourite Hairification H24 Complex Leave-in Repair Mask on sale at Pharmacy 2 U for £8.24.
My favourite leave-in treatment from Hask is on offer for £9.90 at the Perfume Club. If you’re after the genuine article, Lookfantastic has the Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector Repairing Hair Treatment available for £30. Plus, Debenhams is offering the K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Hair Mask for a discounted price of £45, down from its original price of £70.
