Applying hair oil on a regular basis can increase lubrication of the shaft and therefore help prevent hair breakage. It can help prevent split ends, as well as giving hair shine, helping to detangle as well as enhancing your hair oils.

All of these hair oils do all this… along with a little something extra, making these a little extra special and a great addition to your haircare routine.

Some quick benefits of a hair oil

  • It can strengthen the hair by increasing its elasticity, meaning it’s less prone to breakage.
  • It can protect your hair against heat damage.
  • Oil hydrates your hair and can prevent frizz.
  • Hair oils can be used in many different ways: as a pre-shampoo treatment, on damp hair to nourish and on dry hair too to add shine and break a gel cast. You can also find specifical oils to treat your scalp too.
  • All hair types can use oils, although make sure you find one that’s for your hair type. It could be too heavy on finer hair types, for example.

The magic ingredient in this luxurious hair oil is Mirsalehi Honey from their very own Mirsalehi Bee Garden, formulated to rebuild and repair hair to the core.

Honey is a natural humectant and maintains the hair’s natural moisture balance, resulting in healthy, soft and stronger locks with a silky shine. It will help lock in moisture and help stop that halo of frizz I’m sure you know I’m talking about!

Philip Kingsley Bond Builder Lipid Shield Restorative Oil 

This beautiful lightweight oil gives your hair shine and strength. Designed to work together to repair bonds inside the cortex and protect against damage by sealing split ends.

What’s in it…

The key ingredient that makes this product so special is the 18-MEA Technology.

18-MEA is a small fatty acid, forming the outermost layer of the lipid layer. Vital for hair health as it provides hair with its hydrophobicity (water-repelling properties). When hair is lacking in 18-MEA, strands absorb too much water which leads to damage, tangles and frizz.
