Hair Oil

• Will Oil weigh down fine hair?

  Not at all. Oil is formulated with a lightweight blend of eight essential oils so it won't weigh down fine hair (or any other type of hair). If you usually stay away from hair oils, give this one a try—you will see and feel the difference instantly!

• Should Oil be used on damp hair or on dry hair?

  Yes and yes. Apply Oil when your hair is damp to either define your natural texture while air-drying or get a flawless, frictionless blow-dry. Oil can also be used on dry hair to smooth frizz or flyaways, seal ends and add extra shine.

• Does Oil contain silicone?

  Oil contains a single D2, water-soluble silicone called dimethicone to meet our performance standards for shine (high) and weight (low). Not all silicones are created equal. There are different classes of silicones, with a low or high molecular weight. This distinction is important when understanding silicones, in particular dimethicone. Dimethicone is an inert and non-toxic compound that softens hair and contributes to easier spreading and application. (It's used in many skincare products, too, because it's non-comedogenic.) It has a low molecular weight, which means that rather than having an occlusive effect and creating a barrier, it acts more like an emollient, helping to restore the natural barrier function. 

  The silicone substitutes Oil contains include isodecane to protect from moisture loss, Ecocert-certified coconut alkanes (with similar light-reflecting properties to silicone) and heptyl undecylenate derived from castor oil.

• Will Oil make my hair greasy?

  Oil is formulated to penetrate hair strands, not simply coat the surface. As long as you use the right amount—just a few drops at a time—it will be easily absorbed.
