* Clinical test of a single application of 1 drop of L’Elixir on 6 strands of hair

Routine & Dose: Use every time you want: after each shampoo, every day or 2 to 3 times a week depending on your hair type. Apply 1 to 3 pumps from thin to thick hair. Do not rinse.

Step 1: Warming Activation

Dispense anywhere between a drop and a full pump into your palm. Adjust the amount based on the type, condition, thickness, and length of your hair.
Bring the product up to body temperature by rubbing it between your hands. This warming activation technique helps distribute the formula more evenly and improves its bio-compatibility with your hair.

Step 2: Apply the Multi-Care Hair Oil

The “prayer hands” method

Smooth the warmed oil over the lengths between flat palms. This will eliminate frizz and add shine without disturbing the protective yet delicate hair cuticles.
If length allows, divide the lengths into two sections at the nape (right and left)
Apply the oil to the lengths and ends with a downward motion. Repeat this motion 3 times.
Gently massage the lengths by moving the fingertips over the hair.
Finish with a final pass over the front strands.Ideally brush with a plastic bristle brush or use your fingers as a comb if the hair is smooth.
End with a downward massage on the ends to promote penetration of the Elixir. For soft, coily or curly hair, once the oil is evenly distributed, scrunch from the ends up to the roots to lock in hydration, define texture, and add bounce.

Step 3: Targeted Finish

Smooth frizz by gathering all your hair on one side and lightly gliding your hand over the hair from roots the ends.
Finish by briskly feathering the ends with your fingertips.

FAQ: Using Multi-Care Hair Oil

Enjoy the many benefits of this advanced hair oil.

What is a hair oil and its multiple benefits?

Hair oil has been a beloved beauty ritual, both for nourishment and for silky, frizz-free tresses. Precious droplets of rich fatty acids were extracted by hand from fruits, nuts, and plants to gently rub through the hair for shine and strength. Today’s hair oils are typically more concentrated, yet serve much the same purposes.

While hair oil generally enhances your hair care regimen, the finest formulas act as an essential supplement for visible and lasting results. In addition to being a treatment for dull hair that seals split ends, tames frizz, and boosts shine, advanced hair oils penetrate rich plant nutrients deep into the hair fibre. By developing L’Elixir Multi-Care Luminous Hair Oil, Clarins Laboratories has elevated both the effects and the experience of this coveted hair ally.

Is it better to apply oil to wet or dry hair?

You can apply L’Elixir Multi-Care Luminous Hair Oil to hair that is wet or dry. It depends on how and why you are using it.

Can I apply this hair oil more than once a day?

Yes, this oil for frizzy hair is lightweight enough to use more than once per day. As a multi-care hair oil made with biomimetic lipids like jojoba oil that closely resemble hair’s natural oils.

Is the application method different for preventing split ends?

Advanced hair oil formulas like L’Elixir have been shown to prevent future split ends and help seal existing ones. Even if you are just targeting the ends, be sure to follow all the directions to lock moisture in the cuticles along the entire hair shaft.

Will hair oil make my hair look greasy?

Not all hair oils are created equally, so some may leave hair feeling and looking greasy.
