Huile de Leonor Greyl

I've been using this for many years and it's always been my go-to product for my hair. There are some things to keep in mind for usage that aren't covered here, though. First, this is an oil that will solidify somewhat a room temp. You won't get a product that looks like it's pictured here. It will arrive milky colored and solid. But don't worry! All you have to do is run the bottle under warm tap water or submerge it for a few minutes in a pot full of hot water and it will turn into true oil, which you can pour out easily. I personally use a LOT more than recommended, but that's because my hair is past my shoulders. Shorter hair is probably going to use about twice the recommended amount, long hair four times or so. Otherwise, you won't actually be distributing it all through the hair. It helps to have a wide toothed comb on hand (no regular combs, since they can tangle.) If you don't have a comb, just mush it through with your fingers until it's all good and feels oily and greasy. :) I leave it in for a half hour or so while I do other stuff. Then I jump in the shower and shampoo as usual. The best part of this treatment isn't even the softness and shine you get after (for days!) it's the fact that it somehow imparts VOLUME as well. So even fine hair will get a boost from this oil. I would never use any other oil in my hair. For my money, it's the best on the market and even though I use more than the directions say, one bottle easily lasts me four months, so per application it's not that pricey. It does have a strong floral smell, but I think it's lovely. Smells like magnolia and coconut. An alternate use would be to coat the hair with this before going into a pool or the ocean. It's got a nice UV protectant in it.
