- 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 has completely changed my hair since I started using it. I colored my hair at the beginning of the summer and noticed that it was becoming dry and damaged. After using this oil two or three times, I immediately noticed that it was healthier and smoother right after washing. I haven’t had to use a post-shower hair product at all this summer! Also, love the jasmine scent.

I was in Edinburgh and London last summer and the weather was making my hair frizzy and unmanageable. I like to look good and my hair was a disaster! L’Huile de Leonor Greyl was suggested to me and I tried it. It was like an oasis for my desert hair! My hair became soft and didn’t tangle. It’s my favourite treatment now and after using it regularly, I have the shiny, soft hair that I’ve always wanted! It’s not readily available in Canada but thanks to some creative internet searching, I am able to continue using it.

This is probably my favorite product. Makes my hair so healthy, shiny and beautiful. Sometimes I keep it overnight, sometimes for an hour, then shampoo it really good . When I use this treatment I don’t use the conditioner after shampooing, the hair feels so good. I also feel like the product helped me with hair falling. A must have for me. Thanks LG.

Smells great, feels like silk but doesn’t feel oily, and it is lightweight, nourishes dry hair, improves texture and tames frizz.
Its an amazing product!
I love it!

Great product, but consider packaging in a plastic container. Often used with wet and/or oily hands, the glass jar is slippery, subject to breaking and expensive to replace.
