The amount of hair oil we suggest ranges from 2-4 pumps depending on the length of hair, hair texture, hair thickness and hair condition.
Start with 2 pumps, you can always apply more hair oil if needed!
Avoid applying hair oil anywhere near the roots of your hair, keep the product at the mid-lengths and ends for best results.

IS IT BEST TO USE HAIR OIL ON DAMP OR DRY HAIR?
The best time to apply a nourishing hair oil is after shampooing and conditioning your hair when it is clean and dry. This can be done after every shower. Applying the oil to towel-dried or air-dried hair allows it to penetrate the hair shaft and lock in moisture. Applying hair oil on wet or damp hair will help detangle and continue to nourish strands
You can also use hair oil on dry hair during the day as a touch-up. Elixir Ultime Travel Size is a great option to bring with you on the go. It can be used to add a boost of nourishment and shine to your hair throughout the day.
Another option is to apply hair oil before going out at night. This can help add extra shine and luster to your hair, giving it a healthy and glamorous look.
WHAT STYLING TOOL WORKS BEST WITH HAIR OIL?
Hair oils are the perfect complement to styles using heat tools such as blow dryers, curling irons or flat irons, as they nourish the hair fibre adding a little extra protection against the heat. If your chosen hair oil doesn’t have true thermal protection qualities, then apply it after a heat protector like Kérastase Thermique but before heat styling.
As a post-styling finisher, hair oils can tame unwanted frizz caused by heat styling, define hair shape, and leave hair with more shine and subtle fragrance.
CAN I USE A HAIR OIL WHEN I AIR-DRY MY HAIR?
Absolutely!
Applying a hair oil while the hair is damp will nourish and protect the fiber from unwanted frizz. As your hair dries you’ll notice your hair transforming into a subtle, shiny version of its natural texture - it’s your hair texture but better!
Once the hair is dry, you can use another pump of hair oil applying it to your palms and warming it between your fingertips. Use the oil to accent the lengths and ends of the shape for added shine, protection, and lasting fragrance.
WHAT IS THE SECRET TO LONG-LASTING SHINE AND FRAGRANCE USING HAIR OIL?
For long-lasting high shine on the hair, the key is to begin with a high-performance hair oil.
Our bestselling Elixir Ultime formula provides 48 hours of shine (it’s an icon for a reason) and boasts an iconic fragrance with light florals like violet and freesia, cedarwood, rich santal and tonka bean that will have you turning heads.
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO APPLY A NOURISHING HAIR OIL?

CAN I ADD HAIR OIL TO MY HAIR MASK?
Your hair mask is already deeply nourishing, but there’s a way to make it even more potent.
Add 2 to 3 pumps of Elixir Ultime into a teaspoon-sized amount of any Kerastase Hair Mask and mix until you achieve a smooth silky texture. Take a small section of hair and apply a bit of the mixture to ends and lengths working your way up from the tips. Then twist the strand into a curl. Let it sit and repeat on the rest of hair. After 5 minutes, rinse out.
