- 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.

I love using this before I wash my hair. I leave it in for just a few minutes and then wash and ….Voila!!! my curly hair is shiny and wonderful.
The product is pricey, but worth it.

Huile de Leonor Greyl is not only superb as a pre-shampoo treatment but also as an addition (just a drop or two) to any of the Leonor Greyl conditioners! It helps to further strengthen and gently care for your hair. It’s all good!

This oil SAVED my hair. I just love it. I use it often but when my hair was damaged i used it every week and it more than did the job.

My go to all year round! Can’t live without it. I love to use as a deep conditioner once a week. Or to protect before swimming in chlorine, ocean or lake. A little goes a long way and your hair feels amazing.

I love this Oil. Unfortunately I live in Canada and we don not have Leonor Greyl here, otherwise I will buy this oil constantly. It has such a delicate aroma. When you apply it, you are in paradise. the oil works like a spa for your body, hear and spirit.

This product is a game changer for those of us with fine hair. No more conditioners. Use this heavenly oil before you shampoo (my preference is for the honey or banana shampoos) and that’s it. Your hair will feel soft and shiny and look beautiful!

Perfect for my saltwater-dried-out summer hair. Just follow the directions and it detangles, hydrates, brightens and makes your hair smell like Hawaii. This scent could be made into a perfume it is so divine.

I never realized that a pre oil was the key to combat my continuously dry coarse hair! This product has truly been a bit of a game changer for me! Would recommend to all.
