- 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.

Excellent product. Works great when used before chemically treating your hair. My hair has never been softer. Is not only great for keeping your hair safe before coloring but also works great as a pre-shampoo treatment for added softness. Will definitely recommend.

This is my “go-to” product when my hair is in need of a boost. The scent alone puts a smile on my face!

First of all, the smell is dreamy. Second of all, I love that this oil is multi-use. I use it at the beach, during the winter, and on a weekly basis at home. Not only does it protect my hair from the sun and salt at the beach, but conditions and hydrates my hair to keep it smooth and healthy.

Great product to use pre-shampoo. It effectively reduces splits and breakage of my ends of hair. It also reduces the tangles of my hair after shampooing. I started with sample sizes and bought the big bottle at a later time. Something I need to warm the bottle to soften the solidified liquid but not a big trouble.

Great product. I use it pre-shampoo and can feel my hair ends get healthier right away. I bought both the big glass bottle and the sample size for travel. The sample bottle is actually better to use because I can melt the oil if it solidifies.

My daughter has very long and fine hair. Brushing is very unpleasant experience for her as her hair gets tangled. I used just a few drops of this oil and left it in her hair overnight. It was so easy to brush it out in the morning and a lot less tears. You really need only few drops for extra long hair.

I tried Huile de Leonor Greyl for the first time. I can’t say I was overly impressed. The product smells lovely but I do not feel it was any better than my current pre-shampoo product. My hair felt dry afterwards.

A must-have! Specially for my thick & wavy hair. I use it all year long before shampoos or as a deep conditioner. Love the scent and the result! Truly Amazing!
