10 facts about how to get glossy hair instantly using Elixir Ultime Hair Oil
Kerastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil benefits all hair types by using science to create shiny, healthy hair. In the decade since its release, this timeless classic has become a favourite amongst the Obsession team. From its beautiful glass packaging to the wealth of precious plant oils within, here’s ten reasons why we recommend Kerastase Elixir oil:
Kérastase Elixir Ultime Original Hair Oil is a versatile hair oil that deeply nourishes, strengthens and protects all hair types. Formulated with hydrating plant oils, this best-selling product can be used in as a treatment, styling product or heat protectant on wet or dry hair to leave hair soft, shiny and healthy.
The idea that oil is only suited to certain hair types is a myth. Sometimes, people with thinner or finer hair shy away from hair oils out of a misplaced fear that it might weigh their hair down. However, the truth is that Elixir Ultime Hair Oil is perfect for hair that’s feeling dull, dry, coarse or frizzy, no matter your overall hair type.
DRY HAIR
Hair oil products are extremely beneficial to help hydrate dry hair. Elixir Ultime uses deeply hydrating ingredients to provide much-needed nourishment to dry brittle hair. If you have dry hair, use this beautifying hair oil on wet or dry hair to minimise frizz, nourish ends and increase shine. Use in conjunction with dry hair products like the Nutritive Bain Satin Shampoo for Very Dry Hair, and a nourishing conditioner like the Nutritive Lait Vital Conditioner to create the ultimate routine for dry hair.
FRIZZY HAIR
If you are looking to treat frizzy hair, using a hair oil can help nourish and smooth hair. To reduce frizz, wash hair with anti-frizz hair products like the Discipline Sulfate-free Smoothing Shampoo and apply the oil before styling. The Elixir Ultime oil can also be applied on dry hair to smooth hair in-between washes.
DAMAGED HAIR
The Elixir Ultime Hair Oil uses restoring ingredients to help strengthen the fibre for long, healthy lengths. First, wash hair with strengthening products for damaged hair, like the Résistance Strengthening Shampoo for Brittle Hair. Apply the beautifying hair oil to wet hair, to protect and nourish your lengths and style hair as usual.
CURLY HAIR
Hair oil and curly hair are an ideal match. Curls can be prone to dryness and frizziness, which is effectively mitigated by the hydrating and anti-humidity properties of a good hair oil. Elixir Ultime thrives when used as a curl-defining serum when applied by twisting through curls one at a time from lengths to ends. Use as part of a complete curly hair routine with hydrating and curl-defining curly hair products.
In addition to nourishing your hair and promoting impressive shine, hair oils act as heat protectants against the stresses of blow-drying and hot irons. Oils also have anti-humidity properties, meaning they’re an anti-frizz solution. Elixir Ultime Hair Oil is also enriched with carefully selected hair care ingredients curated for their hair benefits:
Elixir Ultime Hair Oil has been formulated with a variety of uses to help you achieve healthy, shiny hair. Apply 1-2 pumps on wet or dry hair. Start from the mid-lengths and style as usual.
The beautifying multi-use oil may be applied the following ways:
Pre-Cleanse: Apply to brushed hair and rinse out before applying shampoo to remove impurities.
Protection: Use Elixir oil before blow-drying for to protect your hair against heat. Apply to towel-dried hair and blow dry as normal.
Finishing: Use the product after blow drying and heat styling for added shine, control frizz, smoothness, and style.
Touch-up: Apply a drop to ends throughout the day for a touch of shine as needed
So, what’s best in terms of how to apply hair oil? How much do you actually need? Our Elixir Ultime Hair Oil is never heavy with its fluid, silken texture. The amount of hair oil you need depends on the length, thickness, texture and condition of your hair. You’ll need somewhere between one and five pumps to create a radiant effect depending on how you’re using the oil. Apply your hair oil one pump at a time and distribute evenly throughout your hair to help determine how much you need. Then, keep adding one pump at a time until you’re pleased with the result. After a few times using Elixir Ultime, you’ll know your own magic number for instantly glossy, shiny and nourished hair.
When to apply hair oil depends on the result you’re looking for. Applying Elixir Ultime on wet hair means less shine, but in trade you get heat protection and detangling benefits. On dry hair, frizz, UV and pollution protection is the focus. However, the options don’t stop there. Elixir Ultime is an incredibly versatile formula you can use as a pre-shampoo hair treatment, leave-in conditioner, heat protectant, blowdry serum, finishing gloss or even as a hair perfume.
Elixir Ultime Hair Oil is formulated with a variety of plant oils like argan oil for hair to help promote shine & health. A high performance oil is the best way to achieve hair that looks shinny and the updated Elixir Ultime formula provides 48 hours of intense shine. You can also reapply a small amount between washes to further boost hair radiance.
All products in the Elixir Ultime collection have an intoxicating fragrance blending bergamot top notes with violet and freesia. Cedarwood, santal and creamy tonka bean rounds out the base notes for an elevated olfactory sensation reminiscent of a luxury perfume.
Elixir Ultime is designed for application on the lengths of the hair to boost shine, not for the scalp. If you are looking to also nourish the scalp, we recommended asking your Stylist for some advice at your next appointment as we can recommend specific treatments and products to help keep your scalp healthy.
You can reap the hair oil benefits from Elixir Ultime every single day if you choose! You can also use it as a hair treatment twice a week if that fits better with your schedule.
