- 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 had suffered a rough hair year after the birth of my child and 2 miscarriages. I got in touch with my doctor who specializes in hair and skin and along with medicated shampoo she highly recommended Leoner Greyl products and I kid you not it’s the best money I have ever spent! My hair gets so many compliments this makes my hair BRAND NEW! I have loved this so much I bought 6 more products and not disappointed with any single one of them! I would name them but boy they are hard to remember! They are pricey with let me tell you totally worth hit !

The coconut oil makes it almost always stay in solid form. So it’s kinda painful to have to warm it up every time using it.
Because of its heavy texture, it’s also not possible to have it as a leave-in treatment, unless you are not planning to go out today, so maybe it’s ok during quarantine? lol

This is the most amazing oil. I have fine and limp hair so I am always afraid of products like this but after applying before shampooing it does not make my hair more limp, it actually gives body. I love it.

I usually put it on my hair before shampoo and leave it overnight. This oil treatment works perfect on my dry fizzy hair. After I wash my hair, it becomes really smooth and soft! Highly recommend to fizzy dry or damaged hair!

I didn’t think much of this product and held out purchasing it for a long time. I finally bought it and OMG….it’s amazing! I have long, frizzy, blonde hair and A LOT of it! I put this through my mid length to roots and sleep in it. The next morning, I shampoo and condition and my hair feels amazing. The smell is sooooo good too! This will definitely be a repurchase for me.

For the first time in many years, I had low lights added to my hair. While the color worked, my hair became much more coarse and dull. I stopped in at the Leonor Greyl shop in Paris (I’ve used other LG products for years) and they recommended this product and the revivisence shampoo. My hair is totally changed – shiny and soft now and perfectly manageable. A wonderful product.

My hair is long, thin, fine and blond. I bought L’Huile de Leonor Greyl as UV protectant for my hair in the sun, but use it several ways.
I pour a good amount in my palm and work through the lengths and detangle with my hands or a comb before shampooing.
Sometimes I’ll do a braid and sleep on it, or just leave i the L’Huile in for a bit as a mask. Either way, it’s a great detangler before shampoo.
My best trick though, is for when I’m in between washes, and my ends seem dry or I want them to look more polished.
I wet down the bottom 4 inches with a fine tooth comb, smooth the tiniest bit of L’Huile through, then scrunch dry with my hands and a warm/hot diffuser.
Super shiny wonderful ends! The scent of LG is sexy beachy floral. Everything about this product is sexy. The packaging, the scent, and the gesture of using an oil.
I would highly recommend.
