- 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 is a great product for fine hair and/or people who spend a lot of time in the water. I am a SCUBA instructor and also swim in chlorinated pools a lot. I use the Huile de Leonor Greyl on my hair as prescribed, but find I love it most as a treatment before getting into the sea or pools as a protective measure. This product is AMAZING and will help keep your hair soft, lush, and tangle-free! I can literally dive all day and then easily finger comb my hair out afterward and have been complimented on how great my hair looks after a day of diving! This product is a miracle in a bottle!

Excellent product that helps protect my hair from sun damage. Leaves my hair soft and silky and has a lovely scent.

I LOVE the smell! I use it before washing my hair and along with Masque Fleurs de Jasmin and my hair is incredibly soft and shiny. I would also note that I have very fine hair and this does not weigh my hair down. AMAZING!

This stuff is a wonder! It smells amazing and it works soooo well. I have oily roots/dry ends with fine curly hair , so finding a good product is a struggle! I use this as a pre shampoo mask and on my ends after washing.

One of my can’t live without products. I put this in before working out and then shampoo after the workout. It’s made it possible for me to wash my hair more frequently without drying out my hair.

I love this product and have already bought the full size. I use it along with Regenerescence Naturelle pre-shampoo and it leaves my thin and fine hair looking thick and glossy. The smell is a strong floral and it took me a while to get used to it, but now I love it. I have been using this as part of an arsenol of hair regrowth products and have definitely seen new growth and density since using it.

There product has a scent that can only be be described as grandmotherly. The outcome did not seem better than the hair mask which is easier to use witha better scent.

The oil is nice in theate theory but not practical andi feel most men won’t like it.

It’s like liquid gold! I put this in my hair during the day, go to work, go to the gym, and then when I come home I wash it out with Leonor greyl got brittle hair (as it’s been do damage from a salon I visited this summer) and my hair looks like it’s the Phoenix rising from the ashes! Can’t live without this stuff

Absolutely the best! I race sailboats a lot, so I actually put it on my hair (lightly) before I’m spending the day on the water and it really helps protect it. Highly recommend.
