- For a pre-shampoo treatment: Apply 1 to 2 capfuls of L’Huile de Leonor Greyl to your dry length and ends and evenly distribute using a natural bristle brush. Leave on for at least 10 minutes or overnight before shampooing.
- For protection from the sun and chlorinated water: Apply to dry hair as previously described and reapply as needed.
- The oil might solidify in cool temperatures. If that happens, simply run warm water over the closed bottle until the product liquifies.
Pro Tip: Use as a leave-in styling product for very dry or frizzy hair. Pour 3 drops into your palm, emulsify and run the brush lightly over your palm before brushing hair.

The idea for L’Huile de Leonor Greyl, formerly known as L’Huile de Palme, was born during a Greyl family trip to the French West Indies in the 1970s. Finding himself stranded during a hurricane, Jean-Marie Greyl noticed that the rain streamed down the leaves of palm trees without really penetrating them. The plant’s incredible properties inspired him to use its oil in a pre-shampoo treatment that could protect hair by forming a waterproof film around each strand. Applied on the beach between swims, in salons as pre-color protection, or at home to repair hair, this oil quickly became a cult favorite. In 2013, palm oil was removed from the formula in favor of two new sustainably-sourced ingredients: coconut and mongongo oil.

This oil is the best pre-shampoo treatment I have ever used. It helps with frizz and conditions the hair like no other product. The scent is extremely pleasant. I recommend this product to all of my clients with any kind of texture. Using it overnight is the best way I use it. This is my number one product! I love it so much!

Wow. I have only used this oil once, and I can’t stop running my fingers through my hair. So soft, at last. I’ve been trying different oils to restore my hair and after one use I am a believer. Can’t wait to see the impact after multiple uses! Sidebar: I did have to run under hot water which did take a bit of time, but the plus: the oil comes out warm which is nice to run over the hair.

This oil is perfect and to coat the hair before a day at the beach. I pull the oil through and braid my hair. Showering after with a nice shampoo and conditioner makes me feel like a spa day.

The best pre shampoo product I have ever used! I have gray hair and the oil has a measurable calming effect without weighing down the hair or creating “artificial “ control. The scent is lovely. Thank you Leonor Greyl to being committed to excellence in products and sales reps like Irving who strive for meeting customer needs.

While I love this product as a prepoo, the travel size shines when using this oil as a styling product. It’s a bit easier to warm up and distribute a few drops from this bottle onto dry hair, leading to beautiful, soft, shiny hair without too much weight (amount matters!). It also doubles as a lovely hair perfume.

This bottle is literally liquid gold!! I’ve tried to use this quarantine time to nurse my fine, color-treated curls back to health from years of heat styling and coloring damage and this product has been the absolute hero in my arsenal. I didn’t know my hair could feel like this: silky and smooth, without disrupting my natural curl pattern. I thought I was cursed to either be a frizzball or a slave to my flatiron for the rest of my life – and I have never been so glad to be wrong! Thank you LG – please NEVER change this formula!

I’m a huge fan of Leonor Greyl especially this pre-shampoo oil and banana shampoo for curly hair. It transformed my thin, frizzy hair into healthiest hair I’ve ever had. I also visited Rescue Spa in Philadelphia because they also sell Leonor Greyl in their place. I’ve tried maaany expensive hair brands but this one has the best quality above them all. Love it

My hair has been a disaster my whole life; coarse, dry, frizzy, and only looks thick. I have dreamed of long luxurious hair that doesn’t look like I put my finger in the electrical outlet. I searched the internet looking for something to relieve my frizzy bride of Frankenstein hair. L’Huile de Leonor Greyl is amazing! This product along with the shampoo, mask, and detangler make my hair soft, calm and manageable. I can go about 4 to 5 days before needing to wash again. I get so many compliments on how beautiful my long, gray, wavy hair is now. Finally at 60, I have beautiful hair. I recommend your product to everyone. Thank you.!!!

I was surprised at how much I loved this product. Everything Leonor Greyl makes is high-quality, but my long hair can get so dry and I have unruly grays, that normally I need a much thicker, robust conditioner, like the masque quintessence. My sales rep, Irwing, gave me a sample of this to try for everyday and I LOVED IT. A little bit goes a very long way and it gives my hair a shine that really makes it prettier every day. I only wash once a week or so, and it’s great to know that using this product can actually keep my hair looking fantastic right up until the wash day. Be careful though: A little bit goes a long way.
