*instrumental testHow Do I Apply A Nourishing Hair Oil And How Much Hair Oil Should I Apply?
This is a very common question that only you can answer. The amount of hair oil needed ranges from 1-5 pumps. However, answering how much oil to put in your hair starts with assessing the length, texture, thickness, and condition of your hair.
Remember to start small. You can always apply more hair oil as you go. Avoid the roots - hair oil is best applied to the mid-lengths and ends unless otherwise stated. The trick is to apply one to two pumps of hair oil at a time and distribute the hair oil evenly until you get your desired result. After a few applications of hair oil, you’ll know your own magic number of pumps for a perfectly healthy, shiny, soft look.

Is It Best To Use Hair Oil On Damp Or Dry Hair?
The best time to apply hair oil is after shampooing and conditioning your hair when it is clean and dry. This can be done whenever you take your 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 means less shiny hair. However, it can give you other benefits such as detangling. Nourishing oils such as the Kérastase Elixir Ultime hair oil even offer heat protection before blow drying.
Once you learn how to use hair oil, you can also utilise it during the day as a touch-up. For this purpose, we recommend the Elixir Ultime Travel Size, which conveniently fits in a purse or bag. It can be used to add a boost of nourishment and shine to your hair throughout the day. Another one of the best times to apply hair oil is before going out at night. This can help add extra shine and lustre to your hair, giving it a healthy and glamorous look.
If you’re looking for high-repair solutions such as the Kérastase Nutritive night serum, the best time to apply this hair oil is before going to bed. Iconic anti-chute serums such as the Kérastase Genesis serum can be used during both mornings and nights to minimise hair loss after 6 weeks of use*.

What Styling Tool Works The 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 and add an extra coat of protection against the heat. Go for shine-enhancing serums that also offer high thermal protection like the Kérastase Elixir Ultime hair oil. The hair oil offers protection up to 230 degrees* and leaves you with soft, radiant, fragrant hair that feels light. A perfect post-styling finisher, the Kérastase Elixir Ultime hair oil also helps tame and deliver the nourishing powers of French Camellia.
Can I Use A Hair Oil When I Air-dry My Hair?
Yes! Applying hair oil while the hair is damp is the best time to apply this hair oil to nourish and protect the fiber from unwanted frizz. The Kérastase Elixir Ultime3 is the ideal leave-in for frizzy hair. As it dries you’ll notice your hair transforming into a controlled, shiny version of its natural texture - it’s your hair 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.
You can also use the Kérastase Première Sérum Filler Fondamental on towel-dried hair to create softer hair with a smoother surface.
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 Kérastase Elixir Ultime oil formula provides long hours of shine and boasts a thoughtfully balanced iconic fragrance with floral notes of Freesia Violet leaves, woody notes of cedar inflection, and carefully crafted ingredients like sandalwood, rich santal and tonka bean that will have you turning heads.
If you’re looking for an indulgent, lasting Kérastase hair perfume, try our Chronologiste Huile De Parfum. The addictive fragrance artfully mingles cedar, magnolia, and tea rose for a timeless, elegant aroma that lasts all day. And that's not all, you can expect 6x more shine* and 72 hours of frizz control* too.

Hair oils can be applied to damp hair after the hair is shampooed and conditioned and towel or air dried. If your hair is wavy or curly, try twisting your hair into place according to the wave pattern that you prefer.
If you are styling your hair with a blow dryer and brush, learn how to apply hair oils with heat-protecting properties like the Kérastase Elixir Ultime hair oil that offers heat protection up to 230 degrees* while delivering up to 96 HR frizz control*. Once dry, finish with one or two pumps of your selected hair oil to finish the look.
