I’ve been using Gisou Honey-Infused Hair Oil for a a very long time now, and I can honestly say it’s made a noticeable difference in how my hair looks and feels. The texture is rich but smooth, and just a tiny amount goes a long way. It has made my e... 

What really sold me on this hair oil: 

The honey & seed oil blend gives deep moisture and nourishment, which helps prevent breakage and dryness. 

It tames flyaways and frizz but doesn’t weigh down or make fine hair look limp (again, using just a drop or two). 

It gives a glossy finish that elevates my overall hair look—healthy, polished, and radiant.

 My hair color seems more vibrant too; the shine makes it look fresher and more dimensional.

So yeah, I totally recommend this oil if your goal is shiny, healthy, glassy hair. If you’ve got dry ends, frizz, or just want that extra glow, it’s worth trying. 

Just remember: less is more (especially if your hair is fine), and focus on the mid-lengths to ends for best results.

I tried the K18 Leave-In Molecular Hair Mask and honestly, I get the hype now! My hair had been feeling fried from heat styling and coloring, but aftera month of consistent use my hair felt so much softer and stronger. It’s not heavy like a tradition... 

How to use it: 

Wash your hair with shampoo (no conditioner). 

Towel dry so it’s damp, not dripping. Start with 1–3 pumps depending on your hair length/thickness. Work it through evenly, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.

 Let it sit for 4 minutes—don’t rinse it out. 

After the 4 minutes, style as usual. 

Pro tip: don’t overload your hair, because too much can weigh it down. Less is more with this one!

Here’s the deal though: if you’ve got oily hair, using a clarifying shampoo once a week can really keep things fresh.
