This year, I’ve been on a quest to find the top hair care products to revive dry and damaged hair. As a person with bleached hair, maintaining my hair’s health and nourishment can be challenging, particularly after a visit to the hair salon when my hair is at its most vulnerable. After sampling various brands and products, there’s one I consistently return to: OGX. They offer a one-minute hair mask that has worked wonders for my hair.
I’ve been using OGX shampoo and conditioners for years, but they’ve recently launched a Bond Repair 1-Minute Treatment Mask that promises to rejuvenate dry and damaged hair in as little as 60 seconds. That’s quite a bold claim to make, so I decided to put it to the test, and I must say I’m thrilled with the results.

Currently selling for a reasonable £11.99 on Amazon, Boots, and Superdrug, this OGX Repair and Protect Bond Repair Mask pledges to deliver quick repair to damaged hair, providing shiny and smooth results that endure. Featuring an innovative Bond Protein Complex, this repair mask is formulated with dual-action repair technology that rebuilds bonds in the inner hair cortex and adheres to damaged sites on the hair cuticle to help keep hair strong, smooth, and resilient.
The one-minute damage repair hair treatment mask is designed without sulfated surfactants to avoid subjecting hair to further damage or harsh chemicals. The mask deeply nourishes hair to reduce visible signs of damage for stronger and healthier locks, reports the Mirror.
As directed, I used this mask after shampooing and conditioning with my favourite OGX products; I usually opt for the OGX Coconut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner (£4 each). I then applied a generous dollop of the hair mask onto my hand and worked it through to evenly distribute it into my damp hair from mid-lengths to ends.
It’s worth noting that I have relatively short and thin hair, so I used a smaller amount which practically covered all of my hair. However, if you have longer or thicker hair, the quantity you’ll need will vary.
You’re then meant to leave the mask on for one minute before rinsing it off and enjoying the results. The first time I used the mask, I chose to apply it before going to bed, as I’ve found hair masks work best when left on for longer than the minimum time. When I woke up and washed out the mask, my hair was incredibly soft to the touch and felt healthier than ever.
Particularly during the hot weather we’ve been experiencing throughout spring and into summer, dealing with dry hair can feel like a constant struggle, but this OGX hair mask transformed my dry and bleach-damaged hair overnight.
After this impressive first impression, I decided to see what the results would be like if I used the mask for one minute as instructed. Compared to leaving the mask on for eight hours, the one-minute results were equally impressive. My hair looked glossier and healthier, and felt silky smooth to the touch.
What’s equally as impressive as the swift treatment time is how little of the product you need to see results. Priced at a wallet-friendly £12, this hair mask promises to last for numerous applications while delivering the kind of long-term effects you’d expect from a professional salon treatment.
It’s not just me who’s smitten with this mask; it’s also received a raft of 5-star reviews on Amazon. One satisfied customer gushes: “The Treatment Mask is not too thick and has a really lovely scent. It made my hair soft and glossy without making it greesy. Highly recommended.”
Another happy user comments: “Used this as a quick fix before a night out-worked a treat! Smoothed my split ends and made my hair look much neater without feeling greasy. Just a couple of pumps was enough, even for my thick hair. Small bottle, but it goes a long way. Great for last-minute touch-ups, though I wouldn’t use it every day.”
And yet another adds their praise: “I love the OGX shampoo and conditioner range and have used quite a few of them, the coconut being a particular favourite. As my hair is bleached to within of its life, it needs all the conditioning it can get. I was therefore really keen to try out the OGX Bond Repair treatment. The treatment mask is applied just like any other hair mask. After shampooing and conditioning with your favourite OGX products, apply a generous amount of the hair mask into your palm and evenly distribute into damp hair from mids to end; leave in for at least one minute and rinse.”
They continue to rave: “The mask is white and is of a creamy consistency and has a nice, subtle fragrance. After washing and conditioning, I apply the mask and tend to leave it on for the full duration of my soak in the bath, circa 30 minutes. The mask leaves my hair feeling really soft and silky, without leaving any greasy residue or weighing my hair down. I’m actually rather impressed with how well it deeply conditions my bleached damaged hair. As with all hair care products, results will vary from person to person depending on hair type and condition. All I can say is that my personal experience of using this product has so far been very positive.”
