    • Why it's Cult
      Hair is fragile and just like a silk blouse, or cashmere sweater, needs consideration and gentle treatment to prolong its life and vitality. Leonor Greyl’s L'Huile de Leonor Greyls helps prepare hair for washing; nurturing and hydrating, to preserve hair health and longevity by protecting against the drying effects of hard water, whilst reducing the risk of breakage by unraveling knots and tangles. Recent independent research has shown that hair can absorb around 15% of its weight in coconut oil in an hour. An overnight soaking oil (six hours) increases absorption to around 20% or 25% - it is one of the few ingredients to penetrate the hair cortex. The result of forty years experience at the forefront of the hair care industry, all Leonor Greyl products are developed using only the finest botanical ingredients, to treat, maintain and protect both hair and scalp and grant you glamorous, lustrous locks.

    Leonor Greyl L'Huile de Leonor Greyl - Pre Shampoo Treatment Reviews

    Coil Restoration
    This oil really works and smells gorgeous! As many others have said, it is pricey when you draw it down to its ingredients and in the UK it needs warming to be usable. I definitely need more than a drop in my Afro hair but I love it - I sleep in it and it really softens and restores my hair and gets me to the next wash without drying out. I’ve also used it after washing but coconut oil can cause hard hair in colder weather. I alternate between this and Olaplex 0 + 3 and my hair has hugely improved
    Brilliant
    My hairdresser recommended this oil to me 15 years ago since I’m bleaching my long hair regularly and it works miracles! My current hairdresser thinks that after that amount of platinum hair I should be bald... but still rocking long hair. Best is to leave it in overnight!
    Amazing oil
    The oil is perfect!
    lovely
    It's a truly gorgeous, overpriced coconut oil. It smells expensive and is a luxurious experience. If you like coconut oil and can justify the price, this is perfection. For me, I can't and will just buy a good quality cold pressed organic oil in the future. Also living in England, this is pretty much always solid, so of course, it's a bit of a hassle to warm up.
    Really works!
    I received a sample of this and didn't expect too much of it, but in just 10 minutes my unruly, dry and wavy hair was transformed! The scent is quite overpowering so I wouldn't leave the house with this in my hair, but it works wonders as an overnight treatment. Between this oil and Olaplex No.3, this wins hands down. A little goes a long way, and I'll definitely get the full size before my sample runs out.
    My love
    My favourite hair oil I've ever had. Hair glistening like a diamond.
    Can use post-shampoo
    Hair is very thick/ends on the drier side. I received a sample of this and use it after washing, on damp hair before drying. You need a TINY amount - if you were letting face serum out of a pipette dropper, it'd be the size of a drop or less. It smells nice, but it doesn't last after drying (which I don't mind). I'm in Australia and it didn't go completely solid in winter (like normal coconut oil) but a kind of saucey thickness? I found this helped with portioning it anyway. It's very good. My ends don't feel dry by the next wash with this. Using it this way did not leave my hair greasy, perhaps because it has no silicones? My "normal" hair oil is Kerastase elixir ultime, and accidentally using the tiniest amount more than usual means greasy hair after 3 days, also my ends get slightly dry after 3-4 days when I use this one. I am giving it 4 stars because it performs, but I just couldn't buy it again. For this price I can get at least 200ml of each high quality, organic coconut, jojoba, hazelnut and sesame oils and mix myself.
    My Favourite
    I have tried so many pre-shampoo hair oils and this is hands down my favourite. Nourishing, moisturising....love it.
    Amazing pre-shampoo oil
    I absolutely love this oil. It really hydrates and protects my hair before and during shampooing. And I adore the smell!! Highly recommend!!!!
    Excellent also for summer
    Fantastic. Be careful to read the instructions. It is used before you wash your hair.
    Works brilliantly but such a powerful scent...
    If you like Jasmine, this is for you, very highly perfumed product, that rejuvenates curls and you need just a drop. keep it in your airing cupboard or near a radiator in the winter as the oils are solid at room temperature.
    Restorative
    I feel like I'm wasting it if I apply right before washing my hair so I tend to apply it the night before the cleansing, hoping it permeates well. After washing I can't see a huge difference, anyway I love the smell and as I have thick normal hair (getting greasy in summertime) I sometimes apply to dry at the (dry and clean) ends to smoothen, protect and brighten my hair when I iron them for special occasions. Maybe it could be too oily for thinner hair. It's a superb product but I give it 4 stars because the packaging is so unwieldy, especially for its shifting consistency.
    Nice oil
    Does its job and you need a tiny amount. There is one downside for me - not a fan of this smell.
    Great oil, terrible smell.
    The oil is really good even post-wash for dry damaged hair, but the smell is so intense it's like a punch in the face. I dilute it with other products to make the scent a bit more tolerable.
    Really works!
    Very nice to apply and smells divine. I can't live without it, I feel that my hair is stronger and brighter than ever.
    Does its job
    I have ordered my first bottle back in 2012 when I used to have extremely damaged hair. Now I tried it on my natural healthy ones. Works great with both. I just love its smell soooo much. Bad thing my boyfriend can't stand sleeping with this smell next to him, so consider this before buying.
    Just coconut oil
    It's actually mainly coconut oil repackaged to make it look luxurious - that explains why it solidifies at lower temperatures. Buy the organic coconut oil in a tub from Sainsbury's and it'll have the same effect on your hair.
    OK, but....
    I wanted to highlight a few things that would have been useful to know before purchasing. 1. Stating the obvious, but it's really really greasy. Not all pre-conditioners are, though, so I thought it worth pointing out. For instance, if you wanted to wear it at the beach to protect your hair from sun & sea, as I did, then it also renders it hideously, embarrassing greasy for most of the day. 2. It comes in a gorgeous, but quite heavy, glass bottle. Again, if you're taking it on holiday, you may want to decant into something less heavy and breakable. 3. Ah, decanting. Great, easy, no problem if the atmospheric temperature is around 24 degrees Celsius or higher, because at this kind of temperature the product is liquid. However, I live in the more temperate UK climate. I bought it when it was hot during the summer but when the temperature dropped a bit it turned into a solid. Obviously I can turn it into an oil again by heating it, but really, that's quite a faff and it ceases to be a super-helpful cult product, more of a slightly fiddly item that may or may not do the job properly, because it's too much of a fiddle to really find out. It smells divine, on the plus side. I wish it were a perfume or body oil.
