The Best hair Oil For Summer

The heart of summer is here and the heat is real. Sun, salt water, and chlorine are extra drying to your hair, so it’s time to pull out a secret weapon against summer hair damage: L’Huile de Leonor Greyl. One of our first products, this perennial favorite has won lifelong fans with naturally hydrating ingredients including organic jojoba, coconut, sunflower seed, and sesame seed oils. Enriched with vitamins B, C, and E, omegas, and antioxidants, it delivers just the healthy boost your hair needs all through the hot months.

Leonor Greyl’s Brand Ambassador, hair stylist, and accessories designer Trace Henningsen swears by LG Oil, and gave us some tips for how to use it while enjoying summer fun.

“A lot of people don’t realize that if you’re in the sun, it’s like another heat tool,” Trace says. “You definitely want to hydrate your hair during this season.” She swears by L’Huile de Leonor Greyl before going out into the sun, jumping in the pool, or playing in the waves—for ultimate ease, comb it through your lengths and ends and then braid your hair before cooling off in the water.

Drying isn’t the only hair enemy during summer. Sun, salt, and chlorine also fade color, but using LG Oil adds a protective layer that can slow the process. Pair it with a hat for ultimate protection from the UV rays. Also travel, as great as it is, can do a number on your mane. “You’re dealing with so many plumbing situations when you travel,” according to Trace. “The water is different and your hair isn’t used to it; and it can change your hair. LG Oil helps protect your hair from those types of environmental effects.”

She also recommends doing pre-shampoo treatments with LG Oil all summer, at least once a month, but ideally more often. While your hair is still dry, apply the oil starting at the ends— usually the dryest part of your hair—and work your way up to the lengths. A little goes a long way! Use a wide-toothed comb or a more-hydrating boar bristle brush to sweep it through your strands, and leave it on for at least 10 minutes, or even overnight, before shampooing.

In case carting a bottle of LG Oil in your luggage feels like too big of a commitment, it comes in a travel size that fits perfectly and allows you to enjoy your vacation without sacrificing your healthy hair. This is one care item you definitely want to pack.

You don’t want to miss the fun of cooling off in the pool or ocean, sightseeing, or going outdoors this summer. By working LG Oil into your hair care routine, you can protect your hair and have all the seasonal fun you can handle. So while the sun is intense and the long days offer hours of outdoor play, grab a bottle (or travel size) of LG Oil, sunscreen, and a hat, and go enjoy summer!
