Taking good care of your hair can sometimes feel like a full-time job. Researching products and using different methods to nourish your hair can be overwhelming. One of the topics that are at the center of mixed reviews is oiling hair overnight.  For a while now, many of us have been wondering whether oiling hair overnight is good or bad. Thankfully, we have taken a deep dive into the process and have all your answered questions right here.  Is It Good or Bad to Oil Your Hair Overnight? When hair oiling is done right, it can provide many long-lasting benefits. With this deep conditioning method, natural hair repair and hair growth are among the top benefits. After checking them out, you’ll be looking forward to this part of your hair care routine every week!  The Benefits of Oiling Hair Overnight Hair oiling benefits are endless. A good product is a multi-tasker that can feel like Wonder Woman came and did your hair. After a good oiling treatment, your hair should feel light and bouncy but deeply hydrated and not staticky. Let’s talk about each benefit with a little more depth and knowledge!  Deep Conditioning Oiling your hair overnight as opposed to 15 minutes provides the ultimate deep condition. This is different from an overnight hair mask because the oil penetrates the strands and seals the cuticles down. Porous hair is when the hair cuticles open up. This allows for moisture in but also allows for it to seep out just as quickly, often leaving hair dry.  Hair oiling helps seal down the hair cuticles, which allows it to condition the strands past the outer layer deeply. By keeping it on overnight, you allow longer absorption.  Natural Hair Repair While going to a hair salon is a nice experience, it’s also an expensive one. And often, we can find chemical treatments to be more damaging than helpful. Hair oiling with Gisou’s Honey Infused Hair Oil is a natural solution with powerful benefits.  Enhanced Hair Growth Hair oil should be rich in amino acids, minerals, and vitamins that work double time. It’s not only a preventative hair treatment, but it also repairs any current damage. When our locks are strong and nourished, split ends and breakage are minimized.  With a quality hair oil like this, you can count on 72 hours of hydration. This means you can oil twice weekly to take advantage of full-time benefits.  Reduced Hair shedding Naturally, with stronger locks and less breakage, we have less hair shedding. The more we find splits creeping up our strands, the more hair fall we will deal with. A good hair oil can seal breakage and prevent it from traveling further.  Improved Scalp Health Hair oiling, however, is not just for the tips and breakage. Often, when we do a quick treatment, we focus on the mid-lengths to the ends of the hair. When you do an overnight treatment, you can massage the oil into your scalp.  When our scalp is itchy, dry, and undernourished, new hair growth can be slowed down. The drier the scalp, the more hair loss and the slower new hairs grow. This is especially true for colder climates.  Natural Shine and Luster Hair that is left unmoisturized can often look lackluster and limp. After a deep hair oiling treatment, you'll notice that your locks have the right amount of shine. Too much oil and your hair can look greasy. But the right amount leaves it with the perfect shine.  Split End Prevention Split ends are often caused by environmental and heat damage. While the oil acts as a sealant and moisture renewal, it also can act as a heat protectant when styling your hair. You can use hair oil as a light treatment to prevent split ends and as a repairing treatment overnight.   Softer and More Manageable Hair When we brush through dry hair that is knotted, it’s not uncommon to see it break right off or fall out. But when our hair is well-oiled and moisturized, it’s easier to work with. We have less tangled hair throughout the day. Hair oiling simply makes our hair more manageable.  How to Oil Hair Overnight While thinking of all the benefits listed above, it’s an easy yes to incorporate this into our hair care routine. But doing it the right way is critical in order to take advantage of all the benefits and not cause any damage.  Prepping Your Hair and Scalp Oiling your hair at the right time is important. If we wait too long between washes to oil our hair, the natural oils on your scalp can build up and create a blockage. Ideally, you will use an overnight oil treatment the day after a good wash and condition.  Use a moisturizing hair wash that can clean the scalp and get rid of any build-up that can be further blocked with hair oiling. Combined with a good conditioner such as Gisou’s Honey-Infused conditioner, it will start the hydrating process.  Applying Hair Oil The next day before bed, start with two to three drops of oil in the palms of your hand. Rubbing it together will help warm the oil. Start by massaging it from the mid-lengths down to the roots to cover the part of the hair that has the most damage.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gisou (@gisou)   Massaging Your Scalp Taking an additional drop and rubbing it between your palms, massage it into your scalp. By using your fingertips to massage your scalp, you are not only rubbing in the hair oil but promoting blood circulation. This helps stem natural hair growth.  Protecting Your Bedding One part that many of us forget when we go to bed is that there is oil in our hair. If we simply lay down on our pillowcases, the oil will get over our faces and can move debris and dirt, causing a mess. It’s important to wear a hair cover that is made of nonabrasive material like microfiber cloth or silk.  The Morning After: Washing and Styling Oiled Hair Leave plenty of time for a good shower the next morning. We want to thoroughly wash out the oil, massaging the scalp to get rid of any build-up. Gisou’s Honey-Infused Hair Wash is a natural solution that helps cleanse the scalp and hair without washing away any natural oils, leaving our hair dry again.  When followed up with Gisou’s Honey Infused Conditioner, our hair will feel naturally soft and hydrated. This will make it easier to work with and style. However, if you need additional products to style it, there is no shortage of options.  How Often Should You Oil Your Hair Overnight? With Gisou’s Hair Oil, providing 8 hours of hydration twice a week is plenty. But some hair is greasier than others, which makes once a week plenty fine. It becomes a balancing act. For those who have drier hair, they can benefit from more oiling and more product.  How Much Hair Oil Should I Use When Oiling Overnight? Two to three drops will be enough for most people’s hair. If your hair is extra dry or you have a lot of hair to work with, you can up the drops to three or four. Finding the balance of what our hair needs is important. It’s easy to overcompensate in the beginning, but just remembering a little goes a long way.  The Best Hair Oil for Oiling Hair Overnight A quality hair oil is a must for this kind of treatment. Otherwise, we are left with greasy hair that has no benefits. Our Honey-Infused Hair Oil is an excellent choice because of all the benefits it has to offer. Aside from lasting hydration, it is also filled with powerful antioxidants that help restore itself to its purest form. These amino acids boost hair strength and help limit breakage.  This is because Mirsalehi Honey is a natural humectant and grabs onto the moisture droplets to penetrate through the hair. With a boosted shine and controlled frizz thanks to Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil it leaves behind a subtle yet natural scent. A Staple in Every Hair Care Routine Hair oiling overnight is a staple to any hair care routine for ultimate hair health. That’s why we shouldn’t wait to order our Gisou Hair Oil! Honey is the powerful go-to ingredient that is the difference maker. With it being a natural moisturizer, potion for restoration, and a lovely fragrance, what’s more to love?

From battling the unruly static of winter to combating the frizz-inducing humidity of summer, flyaway hair can wreak havoc on even the most meticulously styled locks. Those stubborn strands that seem to have a mind of their own are the arch-nemesis of a flawless hairdo. Thankfully, there are many effective strategies to help you tame flyaways for good!  How to Get Rid of Flyaways for Good Sometimes, our flyaways are caused by baby hairs that are just growing in, but other times, it’s the direct result of dryness and hair breakage. Here are our top 10 tips to tame flyaway hair and boost your hair’s health for the long haul.  1. Use a Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner Flyaways tend to make their appearance when your hair experiences static or feels excessively dry. Achieving that perfect balance of well-hydrated hair with just the right amount of weight to prevent flyaways is the key.  This is where the magic of a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner comes into play. Gisou’s Honey Infused Hair Wash is a great example! This gentle cleanser effectively cleanses your hair without stripping it of all of its natural oils. The result? Silky-smooth, luxurious hair without those pesky flyaways.  But you need a good conditioner to go with it. You should always conditioner your hair after washing to replenish and hydrate your hair. Finding something with a balance that is both weightless and moisturizing is tough. Gisou’s Honey Infused Conditioner is a great choice because it works to detangle the hair and eliminate breakage while providing the hydration your hair needs.  2. Towel Dry with a Microfiber Towel and Perfect Your Blow Drying Technique Using the right towel when drying your hair can make a major difference. While terry cloth towels tend to be very absorbent, the loops and weave structure are incredibly abrasive. This often leads to a lot of breakage and split ends that create flyaways. Instead, opt for a soft microfiber towel and try scrunching the hair rather than roughing it.  It’s not always possible to avoid using heat to dry your hair, which is why certain blow-drying techniques work better than others. A diffuser can be a great solution. When using traditional blow dryers, the hot air is aimed harshly at one spot. A diffuser helps evenly spread the air and heat, creating more volume and less damage.  3. Minimize Heat Damage with a Heat Protectant Flyaways are usually a result of breakage that end up disguising themselves as baby hairs. Breakage is often a result of tight ponytails or too much heat damage. Since it’s not always possible to avoid hot tools, using the right heat protectant can be life-changing for your hair.  Gisou’s Propolis Infused Heat Protecting Spray is the perfect example. It protects your hair from up to 230 C/446 F and has additional strengthening benefits, making it the ultimate multi-tasker. Interestingly enough, Propolis is used by bees to create strong beehives. It's no wonder it also makes for strong hair.  It’s best applied to sectioned hair that is slightly damp from the shower. By using a wide-tooth comb to spread evenly, you can be sure that all areas of your hair are protected.  4. Prevent Breakage with Hair Serum Another great option to prevent breakage is to pair your heat protectant with a repairing hair serum. Hair serums are slightly thicker than oil, adding a double layer of protection and moisturizing the hair deep within.  Gisou’s Honey Infused Hair Repair Serum is not only a preventative but also works to restore balance to the hair. This is thanks to the Mirsalehi Honey and Bee Garden Oil Blend that seals in moisture and acts as a natural humectant.  This hair serum is best applied to damp hair from the mid-lengths of the hair down to the ends before styling.  5. Tame Flyaways with Hair Oil Hair oil is the perfect product for taming flyaways. When our hair is moisturized naturally, we see fewer flyaways. But sometimes, a few can sneak in anyway. Apply a small drop of hair oil to your hair and lightly brush down the flyways with a little hair oil magic.  Gisou’s Honey Infused Hair Oil is clinically proven to provide immediate results and give that luxurious shine we all crave. The best part is that a little goes a long way. You only need a few drops to tame the flyaways, and it can be used in perfect combination with heat protectant to promote overall hair health.  6. Detangle with Care to Avoid Breakage We keep bringing up the wide-tooth comb and for good reasons. It’s the best option for detangling the hair to avoid damage and breakage, especially when used in combination with a leave-in conditioner. In contrast, brushing aggressively through knots can cause excessive breakage, making flyaway hairs worse.   A detangler such as Gisou’s Honey Infused Leave-In Conditioner serves so many purposes. Coming right out of the shower, you can use this powerhouse mix to undo some of the tussles the towel creates. It also serves as a defense barrier from pollution and heat and works to provide continual hydration to the strands.  7. Sleep on a Silk Pillowcase to Reduce Friction If you are anything like us, then you may find yourself tossing and turning at night. Do you wake up with a bedhead? Constant friction against the pillowcase can lead to static and breakage, which is why using a silk pillowcase is a great solution.  The material is less abrasive, similar to why we should swap out our bath towels for something softer. Every little bit of effort can go a long way.  8. Deep Condition Regularly to Prevent Flyaways Leave-in conditioner is a great option to keep your hair hydrated on a daily basis, but sometimes we need an extra boost. Gisou’s Honey Infused Hair Mask is infused with Mirsalehi Honey and is the ultimate multi-tasker. As an overnight treatment, it gives you intense hydration that will leave your hair feeling moisturized to help tame any flyaways.  But if you can’t make that time commitment, it’s OK. Our hair mask can be used as a pre-shower mask or even right in the shower when you have just a few quick minutes. The results speak for themselves when you see all your hair smooth, hydrated, and flyaway-free. 9. Prep for Styling with a Hair Primer Hair spray isn’t the best answer for flyaways because it can be drying. It’s better to tame flyaway hair, with the right primer. Gisous’ Propolis Infused Polishing Primer is lightweight and offers the ultimate frizz control. It also has the remarkable ability to reduce drying time (less heat) and is able to give your hair just enough hold to style it. Say goodbye to crunchy hairspray that results in breakage.  10. Get Regular Trims to Minimize Split Ends Last but certainly not least, getting regular haircuts and trims can minimize your split ends. The more the end splits, the higher the breakage goes and the worse your flyaways appear. This is why sometimes it looks like we have unexpected layers put in our hair. It’s actually just breakage. Getting trims every six to eight weeks can be the difference maker.  Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Flyaways What Causes Flyaway Hair? It’s worth repeating. Breakage and damaged hair are major culprits of flyaways. Ultimately, this is a sign of dry hair because weak, brittle hair is more susceptible to breakage than strong and moisturized locks. This is why it’s critical to provide moisture without overwashing, styling and stripping the hair constantly.  What Hair Types Are More Prone to Flyaway Hair? The most common hair type to experience flyaways is actually wavy hair. However, keep in mind everyone is susceptible to flyways and should hydrate their hair to the degree or level needed to maintain optimal health. Wavy hair tends to have more open cuticles that result in moisture loss and drier hair.  What's the Difference Between Frizzy and Flyaway Hair? Frizzy hair is not the same thing as flyaways. Flyaways tend to move away from the head, creating a 3-D alien look no one likes. Frizzy hair may look like flyaways but is more of a direct result of dry hair. Flyways tend to be more about breakaways or even new hair growth.  Trying Different Steps To Sort Your Flyways Any of these tips can be used to help with taming your flyaways. By stocking up on your favorite Gisou Hair Care products, you can both replenish and style your hair without the stress of flyaways. A natural approach is always the best one because the results will be everlasting.  Putting a little time and effort into your hair care routine will eliminate multiple problems by reducing breakage and dry hair. All of these products will certainly help with that!

With the holiday season approaching, your calendar is likely filling up with gatherings and celebrations. No doubt, you want to look festive and polished all throughout the party season! Thankfully, pixie cuts, shoulder-length bobs, and other short haircuts are very popular right now, and they’re super easy to style!  From beautiful accessories that add a touch of glamor to simple twists and half-up, swept-back styles, there are lots of ways to make short hair look fabulous - even when you only have minutes to spend on your hair! Here are our top styling tips, plus a roundup of effortless and elegant holiday hairstyles for short hair to inspire you. Holiday Styling Tips for Short Hair If you recently took the plunge and got that new short haircut you’ve been itching to try, you might be wondering how to make short hair look glamorous for the holidays. Learning to style short hair is often easier than you might think, and we’ve got some tips to help you get started. Learn to Work With Your Hair’s Natural Texture Embracing your natural texture will make styling short hair so much easier on a daily basis and for special occasions. It also saves time and wear and tear on your hair, since you won’t be subjecting it to heat styling as often. Look for multi-tasking products that will enhance your hair’s natural texture.  For example, Texturizing Wave Spray adds hold and definition without stiffness, so it’s perfect for enhancing naturally curly and wavy hair or fine hair that needs volume. Honey Infused Hair Oil adds shine and hydration and fights frizz, making it perfect for styling straight hair or curly hair that needs hydration. Start Your Styling Routine the Night Before Creating a functional, bedtime styling routine is a smart way to save time in the morning, especially during the hectic holiday season. Sleeping with your hair in foam rollers, pin curls, braids, or even a bun will add varying amounts of curl, wave, and texture, depending on the look you’re going for.  Scrunching in a bit of Texturizing Wave Spray before and after your chosen curling method will give even more definition and volume, while also providing hold. When you release your hair in the morning, run your fingers through it gently and apply a few drops of Honey Infused Hair Oil for added hydration, shine, and frizz control. Wear it as is, or use it as a starting point for your favorite updo or half-up holiday hairstyle. Change Up Your Part If you’re struggling to create new looks with short hair, consider changing up your part. Middle, side, and deep parts take seconds to achieve, and they can change your look entirely, whether it’s pixie short or longer. To change up your part, start by applying Texturizing Wave Spray to the roots. Then blow dry and style in the direction you want it to part. Feel free to straighten, curl, or even spike up your hair to create your own signature, special occasion look. 10 Effortless and Elegant Holiday Hairstyles for Short Hair Here are ten holiday hair ideas for short hair to inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and try something new! 1. Side Twists Perfect for naturally curly hair, this look involves creating a row of chic side twists on one side of your head. The twists are easiest to create on freshly washed, still-damp hair. Start by spritzing your curls with our Leave-In Conditioner, followed by a few drops of Honey-Infused Hair Oil for softness, shine, and frizz prevention. Use a comb to create a small side section above your ear. Turn that section into three or four small twists starting at the front of your head and going about halfway to the back. Secure each twist with a clear elastic. Add some sparkly bobby pins to finish off the look and secure the twists close to your head. 2. High Bun If your hair is bob length or longer and you can’t be bothered to curl or straighten it, a high bun is the perfect holiday style for you. Air-dried hair is ideal for this look because it gives the hair a bit of texture to create a more edgy, messy look.  Spritz your hair with Texturizing Wave Spray to add some grip, then gather it into a high ponytail on top of your head. Begin wrapping the pony with a hair band, but on the final wrap, pull the hair only about a third of the way through to create a loop. Loosen the loop to give it texture. Wrap the ends around the hair band and secure it in place with a bobby pin. Pull out a few face-framing pieces and add a festive accessory to glam up the look, if desired. 3. French Twist A French Twist is the perfect look for bob length or longer hair, especially if you’re into the model-off-duty vibe. This look is easy to dress up for the holidays with some sparkly hair accessories, too. The look starts with dry hair and a clean center part. Use our Texturizing Wave spray and our Curling Tool to create messy volume. Then, gather your hair into a loose ponytail at the nape of your neck. Roll your hair up the back of your head, tucking in the ends as you go. Use bobby pins to secure the roll in place, then pull out a few small sections to frame your face. This style is classic and beautiful as is, but you can glam it up even more with a pretty hair comb or some decorative hair pins. 4. Half Up with a Bow If you’re all about super easy, extra cute looks for the holiday season, this hairstyle is for you. The look starts with messy curls, so it’s perfect for second-day hair, too.  Spritz your hair with our Texturizing Wave Spray and scrunch for extra volume. Gather a section of hair at your crown, teasing it underneath to create lift. Now add a small section from the front on each side to create a half-up, half-down ponytail and secure it with a clear elastic band. Tie a red ribbon around the elastic and you’re ready for any holiday party! 5. Braided Tiara This easy braided look is the perfect half-up holiday hairstyle for short hair when you want to look elegant and sophisticated. Start with your hair curled into loose waves using our Honey-Infused Hair Primer to provide frizz-free, workable hold. Take a small section of hair above and behind each ear and braid it to the end, securing the end with a bobby pin. Tug the braids apart gently to add volume, then pull them over your head to the other side and pin them in place behind your ear. Now create a second braid on each side, right behind the first. Secure with a bobby pin, loosen, and wrap it around your head, pinning it behind the first one to create the illusion of a tiara. 6. Braided Bun If your hair is chin length or longer, a braided bun is an easy holiday hairstyle that’s super fun to create. All you need is a hair donut, some tiny hair elastics, and our Texturizing Wave Spray for extra hold and grip. Start by scrunching the wave spray into your hair and splitting it into two equal sections. Clip the top section out of your way and pull the bottom section into a low bun using the hair donut. Now let down the top section and create two or three dutch braids on either side of your head, going towards the bun and securing with a clear hair elastic. Now tug carefully on the braids to loosen them and add fullness. Wrap the ends of the braids around the bun and tuck them underneath to keep them in place. Feel free to use bobby pins if needed for extra hold. 7. Creative Hair Accessories Hair accessories can add a touch of glam to curly, wavy, or straight short hair in seconds. Start by running a drop or two of our Honey Infused Hair Oil through your hair to add shine and fight frizz.  Get creative with a fun metallic headband, pull back the hair on one side with a sparkly hair comb, or pull your hair back into a half-up style with a rhinestone barrette. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can make your own holiday hair accessories by gluing tiny trinkets like bows or presents onto bobby pins and using them to pull your hair back to one side. 8. Voluminous Fauxhawk This edgy holiday hairstyle is ideal for naturally curly, chin to shoulder length hair. Often called the pineapple technique, this style is achieved by simply pulling your curls into a high ponytail on the top of your head. To get the look, start by spritzing your hair with our Texturizing Wave Spray. Scrunch as needed to add volume and definition to your natural curls. Now gather your hair into a high pony and wrap it loosely with a large ponytail holder to create extra volume.  Finish off the look by pulling the front section forward to create a faux fringe and edgy mohawk vibe that’s perfect for holiday parties!  9. ‘60s Flip The ‘60s Flip is easy to achieve and it’s glamorous enough for even the dressiest holiday occasion. This look requires a bit of heat styling, so you’ll want to start by applying our Propolis Infused Heat Protecting Spray. Now section your hair into two sections. Starting with the bottom section, use a flat iron to straighten the lengths of your hair, adding a twist at the ends to flip them out. Once your entire head is complete, part as desired and tuck your hair behind your ears for a ‘60s vibe. Run a few drops of Honey Infused Hair Oil through the lengths of your hair to amp up the shine, then spritz the ends with a bit of Texturizing Wave Spray to hold the flip in place. A velvet or satin headband adds the perfect finishing touch to this look. 10. Slicked Back Hair It’s easy to achieve the ultra-chic, wet look of slicked-back hair when your hair is short. This look is ideal for straight hair that’s a pixie, bob, or lob length and adds instant polish to any outfit. Start with freshly washed hair, spritz with Heat Protectant Spray, and blow dry. Use your straightener to smooth out any waves or curls. Now, use a comb to section off your crown and tease gently to add lift and fullness. Brush your hair straight back and use a dime-sized amount of our Propolis Infused Polishing Primer to hold the hair in place. Add a few drops of Honey Infused Hair Oil to add shine and tame baby hairs. Smooth out the hair with a fine-toothed comb and you’re done! Wrapping Up With the right products and styling tips from Gisou, holiday hair styling options for short hair are virtually limitless. Whether it’s styling your hair in a completely different way or simply adding a fun hair accessory, we hope we’ve inspired you to try something new this holiday season!

Hair routines have always been a sticky subject. Some days, we are in the mood for long and luxurious spa treatments. On other days, we want 5-minute hair hacks that will change the game for us. You know, that effortless look some people just pull off? Well, we took the time and did the research. No need to spend hours searching for the next big thing to save your hair. You can simply take advantage of these awesome life-saving hair hacks that take no more than a few minutes out of your day.  Our Favorite Quick and Easy Hair Hacks  Without further adieu, here is everything you need to know about maintaining a healthy head of hair. Doesn’t matter whether you have fine hair, curly hair, or hair that is already in good shape. These products and hacks work for everyone. Repair Split Ends with Hair Serum Using hair serum to repair your split ends is a game changer. But not everyone knows what to use and how to use it. Gisou’s Hair Repair Serum is a great example of a worthy product because it has key ingredients that can help reverse damage. Mirsalehi Honey helps provide the necessary hydration that the hair is lacking. Honey is also a humectant that naturally grips onto the hair for absorption. Essential fatty acids such as Omega 3,6, and 9 nourish and strengthen your hair. Keratin is a known ingredient used to repair brittle or dry hair. Gisou uses a plant-based source, meaning it’s cruelty-free and more sustainable than animal-derived keratin.  Apply the serum on damp hair from the mid-lengths of your hair to the end where it needs the most love. The downward motion helps smooth hair follicles. This leaves a weightless, smooth appearance that helps damaged hair. Serums can be left in until the next wash! 5-Minute Beach Waves with Texturizing Spray Bubbly beach waves are always the rave. But getting the wave is a totally different story. You don’t have to work with hot tools when you have the right texture spray.  Spray Gisou’s Texturizing Wave Spray from an arm’s length distance evenly throughout damp hair, then scrunch hair to add waves, texture, and volume. Allow it to dry naturally or blow-dry hair with a diffuser. Tame Frizz with Hair Oil Don’t you hate it when the hair gets all frizzy and out of control because of humidity or static? Don’t stress, hair oil can do wonders for that. Similar to a hair serum, hair oil also has restorative properties, but it should be applied to dry hair whereas hair serum should always be applied to damp hair. A little goes a long way, so you may only need 1-2 drops. You can add a few more if your hair's a little thicker. To best apply, use the following tricks. Drop a few drops into your palms and rub your palms together, warming up the oil.  Run your hands through dry hair and evenly spread it through the lengths of your hair. You can even gently comb your fingers through your hair to detangle and smooth frizz Avoid the scalp area if your hair is prone to greasiness. If you’re going for a sleek bun look, applying a little bit of hair oil to the top of your hair will help smooth down baby hairs. Hair oiling is a great five-minute hair hack that is low maintenance and yields amazing results.  Create Heatless Curls Overnight Heatless curls are an easy way to get amazing results that are damage-free. You can order a heatless curls hair accessory to wrap your hair around, but if you don’t have one of those handy, a silk pillowcase, robe belt, or long socks are also great substitutes. A great trick and hair hack is to layer your hair up with the right products before wrapping them. The first step is to rinse your hair with a quality shampoo and conditioner. After you do this, you can apply your texture spray to help hold the volume the next day. Then go ahead and wrap your hair and sleep on it overnight.  The next morning, you should have volumizing, beautiful bouncy curls.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gisou (@gisou)   Protect Your Color with Heat Protectant It’s not always possible to completely toss out the hot tools. But if we are going to use our hot tools, then at least use good heat protection. A good heat protectant should help seal the outer layer.  Gisou’s Heat Protecting Spray is unique in its own right. Let’s dive in.   Mirsalehi Propolis protects your hair from not only extreme heat but also from the sun, which can cause some major damage.  It’s filled with flavonoids, vitamins, and essential minerals that help form a barrier from outside forces while also nourishing from the inside out.  It protects up to 446 degrees Fahrenheit with a UV filter.  These are just a few of the amazing benefits when you choose not just a heat protectant but a multi-functional product.  Add a Few Drops of Hair Oil to Your Conditioning Mask Hair masks are wonderful to get a spa-like treatment right at your house. But you can do one better by adding in an extra dose of love for those who have hair that is particularly damaged or dry. Adding a few drops of hair oil can not only help tame frizz but also give it a smooth and well-hydrated feel.  Go about your normal routine when it comes to getting your hair mask on.   Mix a full dropper of hair oil with a generous scoop of our Honey Infused Hair Mask before applying it throughout the lengths of your hair. Whether it’s before a shower or overnight, rinse thoroughly and follow with your favorite shampoo and conditioner. Massage Your Scalp to Promote Healthy Hair Growth There are many benefits from scalp massages, but even more so when combined with a balancing scalp treatment. Massaging your scalp stimulates the blood flow which in turn promotes hair growth.

It is lightweight, which is a must because the last thing your bun needs is a greasy look.  The primer also has a unique ability to reduce frizz and speed up drying time after getting out of the shower. Say hello to enhanced texture and more volume.  Hair Routines Can Be Made Easy Usually, when our hair routines are difficult, we only stick to it a few times before letting it go.

Glycerin is an unassuming ingredient that often goes unnoticed in our hair care products. But its potential to rejuvenate and restore hair’s vitality should not be overlooked! From addressing dryness and frizz to enhancing overall hair and scalp health, glycerin can help you tackle many common hair issues. So, what is glycerin, and is it good for your hair? Read on to explore the benefits of glycerin for hair and the best ways to use it! What is Glycerin? Glycerin, also known as glycerol, is a colorless and odorless sugar alcohol that can come from plants, animal fats, or be produced synthetically. Glycerin used in hair care is derived from plant sources and is renowned for its hygroscopic nature, which means that it has the ability to attract and retain moisture from its surroundings. Glycerin is a highly effective natural humectant that adds moisture to the hair, improving softness, manageability, and overall hair health. Glycerin has a small molecular size, allowing it to work like a moisture magnet for the scalp and hair, eliminating dryness, dullness, and flaking. Is Glycerin Good for Hair? Absolutely! Glycerin is good for all hair types, especially hair that’s curly, thick, dry, or frizzy. It’s helpful for conditioning damaged hair and preventing breakage, as well as hydrating the scalp. Glycerin can also strengthen the hair, leaving it shinier and less prone to split ends. The Benefits of Glycerin for Hair Glycerin isn’t just an ordinary hair care ingredient. It’s a powerhouse of moisture that transforms your locks. Here are some of the fantastic ways glycerin can benefit your hair!  Deeply Moisturizes and Hydrates Hair One of the standout qualities of glycerin is its exceptional moisture attraction and retention capabilities. In fact, glycerin is one of the best humectants for hair, alongside honey.  Glycerin’s humectant properties allow it to attract water molecules from the environment and lock them into your hair strands. This means that even on the driest of days, glycerin-infused hair products can help keep your hair hydrated, preventing it from becoming dull, brittle, and prone to breakage. Softening Properties Glycerin is the secret to soft, silky hair! It helps to smooth the hair cuticle, leaving it softer and more manageable. Whether you have coarse curls or fine locks, glycerin can help you achieve the touchable, silky-smooth texture you’ve always dreamed of. Scalp Health Healthy hair starts at the roots, and glycerin doesn’t leave your scalp out of the equation. It can assist in maintaining healthy hair follicles by preventing excessive dryness and flakiness. A well-moisturized scalp promotes healthier hair growth and reduces itchiness and irritation. Thanks to its hydrating and moisture retention benefits, scalp treatments that contain glycerin can also help to balance the scalp microbiome and prevent excessive oil production. The infusion of moisture that glycerin provides helps to regulate oil production in the scalp.     Frizz Control Are frizz and flyaways your daily nemesis? Glycerin can come to the rescue! By maintaining your hair’s natural moisture balance, it helps reduce frizz and keeps those unruly locks in check. This means you can step out on humid days with confidence, knowing that your hair will stay smoother for longer. Improved Elasticity and Reduced Split Ends Glycerin helps your hair maintain its elasticity, which is essential for preventing breakage. When your hair has good elasticity, it can stretch and bounce back without snapping. This is especially beneficial for those with curly hair, as it helps maintain curl definition and bounce.  Dry, damaged hair is also prone to split ends. Glycerin can help to reduce split ends by strengthening and moisturizing the hair. This also helps to reduce breakage and prevent existing split ends from traveling further up the hair shaft. Overall Hair Health Ultimately, glycerin contributes to the overall health of your hair. When your locks are adequately moisturized, they’re less prone to damage, whether from heat styling, environmental factors, or daily wear and tear. Glycerin not only enhances the appearance of your hair but also strengthens it from within. Glycerin Benefits for Different Hair Types Glycerin is extremely versatile and can work wonders for a wide range of different hair types. It can be especially beneficial for thick, coarse, dry, or dehydrated hair types. Let’s take a closer look at how glycerin can be tailored to suit your specific hair type. Straight Hair If you’re blessed with straight hair, glycerin is ideal for adding moisture and shine without weighing your hair down. Look for lightweight hair products that contain glycerin to maintain that sleek and polished look. Wavy Hair Wavy hair falls somewhere in between straight and curly, leaving it prone to dryness and frizz. Glycerin-infused products can help you achieve that effortlessly tousled look while adding hydration and keeping frizz at bay. Curly Hair Naturally curly hair thrives on moisture, making glycerin a curly-haired gal’s best friend! It helps to define curls, reduce frizz, and keep your locks bouncy and hydrated. Look for deep-conditioning hair masks with glycerin as a key ingredient to enhance your natural curl pattern. Coily Hair Coily hair can be prone to dryness and shrinkage, but glycerin can help combat both. Opt for deep conditioning treatments, like our Honey Infused Hair Mask, that contain glycerin and other natural ingredients to nourish and elongate your curls. Glycerin’s moisture-retaining properties work wonders for defining curls, reducing frizz, and maintaining the health of coily hair. How to Use Glycerin for Hair Before you introduce glycerin into your haircare routine, there are a few key factors to consider to make the most of this magical ingredient. Here are some tips to keep in mind. Weather Considerations Glycerin’s moisture-attracting superpower can be a double-edged sword in extremely hot and humid environments. When it’s very humid, glycerin can draw in excess moisture from the air, potentially causing your hair to swell and frizz. If this is a problem for you, consider using glycerin more sparingly in the summer months to avoid overly soft or limp hair. However, in the colder, drier months of winter, glycerin is ideal for keeping your hair soft and hydrated. Feel free to incorporate glycerin into your hair care routine more freely for added hydration and shine.    Hair Porosity Hair porosity refers to your hair’s ability to absorb and retain moisture. Understanding how glycerin interacts with your hair’s porosity can help you use it more effectively. Low Porosity: If you have low-porosity hair, consider using glycerin more sparingly. Your hair doesn’t readily absorb moisture, so too much glycerin may weigh it down. Opt for products with glycerin lower on the ingredient list. Normal Porosity: Normal porosity hair responds well to glycerin. You can enjoy its benefits without any major concerns. High Porosity: High porosity hair can benefit greatly from glycerin, as it helps to retain much-needed moisture. However, remember to apply it more sparingly in extremely humid conditions, as your hair may absorb too much moisture and become more prone to frizz. Layering Products Layering products is a great way to make the most of glycerin’s beneficial effects, especially in challenging weather conditions. For example, follow our glycerin-rich Wash & Go Combo with our glycerin-free Honey-Infused Hair Repair Serum. This layered approach can help you achieve the right balance of moisture and control. Protective Styling Consider using glycerin-rich products when creating protective hairstyles. Glycerin can help maintain moisture levels in your hair while it’s tucked away in braids, buns, or other protective hairstyles, reducing the risk of breakage and leaving the hair moisturized and shiny. Shampoo and Condition Begin your glycerin-infused routine in the shower. Use Honey-Infused Hair Wash to cleanse your hair without stripping away the natural oils. Follow with our Honey-Infused Hair Mask and Honey-Infused Conditioner to seal the cuticles and lock in moisture.  Wrapping Up Whether you have straight, wavy, curly, or coily locks, glycerin is a versatile ally that adapts to your hair’s unique needs. With our honey-infused hair care products, plus a little thoughtful application, you’ll be well on your way to experiencing the transformational power of glycerin. Embrace this moisture-locking marvel, make it part of your daily routine, and let glycerin help you unleash your hair’s full potential. Say goodbye to dryness, frizz, and lackluster locks, and hello to hair that radiates health and vitality!

Whether you have long, lustrous locks or a shorter, edgy style, hair tangling is a common issue that can be a real nuisance. Why does hair tangle so easily? Is it purely a matter of hair type, or are there other factors at play? In this article, we’ll uncover the most common causes of tangled hair and offer some proactive solutions to keep your hair tangle-free and looking fabulous! Ready to bid farewell to those daily battles with your hairbrush and embrace a smoother, more manageable mane? Here’s what you need to know! Why Does Hair Tangle So Easily? Why does your hair tangle so easily? The frustration is real, but understanding why it happens is the first step to learning how to keep hair from tangling in the first place. Hair type, lack of moisture, friction, and damage are the four main factors that come into play. Hair Type You guessed it! Hair type plays a major role in how prone your strands are to tangling. Due to its smooth, uniform structure, straight hair may tangle less frequently. However, if your hair is long and fine, it is likely more prone to tangling, whether it’s curly or straight. The twists and turns of curly hair make it much more susceptible to tangling. Wavy hair falls somewhere in between straight and curly, and its susceptibility to tangling depends on the tightness of your wave pattern. As you can imagine, the complex pattern of coily or kinky hair allows it to interweave and tangle very easily. Lack of Moisture Dry hair is more prone to friction and static, which causes the strands to tangle and interweave. Environmental factors like wind and low humidity can sap the moisture out of your hair, leaving it dehydrated and more prone to tangles. Excessive shampooing or using the wrong shampoo can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and vulnerable to tangles. Frequent heat styling can also damage the hair cuticle, and reduce its ability to retain moisture. Damaged Ends and Cuticles When the protective outer layer of your hair, the cuticle, is damaged, it can expose the inner layers to friction and cause tangling. Split ends are also a common issue that can lead to tangling and should be trimmed regularly. Chemical treatments, excessive heat styling, environmental stressors, and using the wrong hair products are the most common causes of damaged ends and cuticles. Friction Friction is perhaps the most straightforward yet significant factor that causes tangles. When the strands of your hair rub together, they often become entangled. Friction becomes an issue when the hair rubs repeatedly against clothing, pillowcases, and certain hair accessories. Vigorous towel drying can also lead to friction-induced tangling. And, of course, environmental factors like wind are also a leading cause of tangling and friction. How to Prevent Tangled Hair So, what can you do to address these common causes of tangled hair? Fortunately, there are many proactive steps you can take to improve the overall condition of your hair and keep it tangle-free. Here’s how to prevent hair from tangling and maintain a head-turning mane! Condition Every Time You Shampoo Conditioning is an essential step in your hair care routine that should never be skipped. Using conditioner after every shampoo helps to replenish moisture and smooth the hair cuticle, reducing the likelihood of tangles. Focus on applying our Honey-Infused Conditioner from the mid-lengths to the ends. This weightless, nourishing conditioner is formulated to gently detangle, leaving the hair manageable and strong.  Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently remove any tangles and distribute the conditioner evenly throughout your hair. Allow the conditioner to sit on your hair for 1-2 minutes before rinsing it with cool water to give it a chance to work its magic.  Hydrate Daily with Leave-In Conditioner We suggest incorporating a leave-in conditioner into your routine any time your hair needs some extra moisture. It can be applied to damp hair before combing for easier detangling and less damage or applied to dry hair before styling in between wash days. Our Honey-Infused Leave-In Conditioner is a lightweight, multi-tasking spray that hydrates, smooths, and detangles the hair. It also adds a layer of protection against pollution, heat damage, and breakage, which is key for preventing tangles. To apply, simply spray evenly from mid-lengths to ends and comb through to distribute. Deep Condition Regularly In addition to your regular conditioner, consider incorporating a deep-conditioning hair mask into your routine at least once a week. These intensive treatments can help repair damage and keep your hair soft and tangle-free. Our Honey-Infused Hair Mask is ideal for improving the condition of your hair and keeping tangles at bay. It provides intense nourishment to improve the elasticity of your hair and add shine. Use it on dry, damp, or wet hair in the shower or overnight. Seal Your Ends Applying our Honey-Infused Hair Repair Serum to the ends of your hair can help seal split ends, reducing the chances of the split ends traveling up the hair shaft and leaving it more prone to tangling. It also intensively hydrates the hair, smooths frizz, and repairs damage to prevent breakage that can contribute to tangling.  Apply the hair serum to damp hair after showering, before you begin your styling process. Simply dispense a dropper full of serum into the palm of your hand, rub your palms together, and work the serum through the lengths of your hair, focusing on the ends. Adjust the amount of serum used based on the length and thickness of your hair. Use Hot Tools Less Often Frequent use of heat styling tools can lead to damage and dryness, making your hair more prone to tangling. Consider embracing your natural texture more often and limit heat styling to special occasions. When you do use hot tools, always apply a heat-protecting spray first. Our Propolis Infused Heat Protecting Spray is designed to protect the hair against heat damage caused by blow drying, styling tools, and the sun. Mist it evenly throughout your hair before applying heat tools or spending time in the sun to create a protective barrier against damage and moisture loss.  Protect Your Hair While You Sleep Your nighttime routine can make a big difference when it comes to preventing tangles. Consider making the switch to a silk pillowcase. Good quality silk creates less friction with the hair than cotton. Gently tying your hair into a loose braid or bun is also a great way to prevent friction and tangles while you sleep. You can also wrap your hair in a silk or satin head wrap or scarf to protect it from friction, prevent tangles, and maintain your style. Go Easy with the Towel Rubbing your hair vigorously with a towel can create friction and cause tangles. Instead, gently pat your hair dry with a microfiber towel designed to soak up moisture. If you have textured hair, consider trying the plop method using a t-shirt to improve curl definition, reduce friction, and minimize tangles Get Regular Trims Regular trims are essential for maintaining healthy hair and preventing split ends that can lead to tangling. Aim for a trim at least every 6-8 weeks to keep your ends in good shape. Oil Your Hair Regularly Using hair oil regularly provides your hair with much-needed moisture and protection against tangles. Hair oil not only prevents hair breakage but also reduces frizz and smoothes the hair cuticle to help keep tangles at bay. Our Honey Infused Hair Oil can be used as a pre-styling and finishing product, a pre-shampoo treatment, applied as an intensive conditioning treatment overnight, or added to your weekly hair mask to amp up the benefits. Avoid Sulfates and Other Harsh Ingredients When choosing your hair care products, avoid harsh detergents like sulfates, which can strip the hair of its natural oils and make it more prone to tangling. Opt for natural, sulfate-free formulas like our Honey-Infused Hair Wash, which is free of ingredients that strip the hair. Utilize Protective Hairstyles For times when your hair will be exposed to wind and other harsh weather conditions, consider securing it into a protective hairstyle, like braids, twists, or a bun. These styles not only look great but also reduce friction and tangling. Helpful Detangling Tips Taming tangled hair can be a pain, but with the right tools and techniques, you make the process much easier. Here are a few helpful detangling tips to help you navigate those pesky knots with ease. Start with Leave-In Conditioner: Before you even pick up the comb, mist your hair with a leave-in conditioning spray. It will add an extra layer of moisture and slip to the hair, making it easier to detangle. Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush: When it comes to detangling, the right tool makes all the difference. Reach for a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush. They’re gentler on the hair and less likely to cause breakage. Divide and conquer: Don’t try to tackle it all at once! Divide your hair into smaller sections and work on each section one by one. Work from the ends Up: Always start detangling at the ends of your hair and gradually work your way up toward the roots. This method minimizes stress on your hair and reduces the risk of breakage. Embrace Tangle-Free Hair From incorporating the right products and tools to adopting healthy hair care habits and gentle detangling techniques, you’re now armed with the knowledge to face tangles head-on. Our line of Honey-Infused hair care products can help you rebuild and repair your hair, resulting in stronger, shinier, and softer locks that are less prone to tangles!

What is glass hair? It’s all about achieving a look that’s as reflective and lustrous as a glass surface catching sunlight. Picture hair that’s so sleek and shiny, it reflects light like a perfectly polished mirror. That’s the essence of glass hair - a trend that’s turning heads across the globe! Most of us covet shiny, healthy-looking hair, but the glass hair trend takes it to an all-new level by giving an almost liquidy-smooth look to the hair. So, what does it take to transform your hair into a glossy masterpiece? Here’s how to make glass hair your signature style, step-by-step! What is Glass Hair? Glass hair is an ultra-sleek and polished hairstyle with a high-gloss, mirror-like finish. This hairstyle trend is all about achieving hair that appears smooth, luminous, and impeccably shiny, much like the reflective surface of glass.  The hair glass look has gained popularity for its chic and sophisticated appearance. Although it originated on blunt bob haircuts, the glass hair trend now encompasses styles of any length. Best of all, glass hair can easily be achieved at home with a little practice and the right hair care strategy. Key Characteristics of Glass Hair Achieving glass hair isn’t just about shine - it’s a combination of specific elements that come together to create a striking, polished effect. Let’s explore the key characteristics that define glass hair to help you understand exactly what you’re working to achieve. Mirror-Like Shine The hallmark of glass hair is its unparalleled shine. Every strand of hair is so sleek, straight, and shiny that resembles the flawless surface of a mirror. This dazzling shine is achieved through proper haircare, styling, and using the right products. Silky Smooth Texture Glass hair is perfectly smooth to the touch. Frizz and flyaways are eliminated, and the hair feels soft as silk. This silky smooth texture is essential to achieving this extremely polished look. Blunt Ends The ends of glass hair are typically blunt cut to create a sharp and modern appearance. This clean-cut finish adds to the polished and sophisticated aesthetic of the overall hairstyle. Precision in Styling Achieving the glass hair look requires meticulous styling techniques. Straightening the hair to perfection is essential to achieving a mirror-like finish. Optimal Hair Health Healthy hair is at the core of glass hair. Regular trims, deep conditioning treatments, and proper hydration all contribute to the vibrancy and sheen of the overall look. Minimalist and Elegant Glass hair embraces the minimalist approach. It’s about simplicity and sophistication, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate understated elegance. Color Brilliance The glass hair effect amplifies the vibrancy of your hair color. Whether your hair is naturally hued or color-treated, the high-gloss finish will enhance the richness of the tones. Achievable By All Hair Types Glass hair isn’t limited to specific hair types. The look can be achieved by straight, wavy, curly, and kinky hair types, provided you’re willing to put in the effort and use the right techniques and products. How to Get Glass Hair You’ve seen glass hair on the runway and coveted the look on your favorite influencers. The good news? The glass hair look can be achieved by anyone! With the right products and a bit of know-how, you can transform your locks into the embodiment of shine and sophistication.  Here’s how to get glass hair, step-by-step: Step 1: Shampoo, Condition, and Towel Dry Begin by washing your hair with a hydrating, shine-boosting shampoo and following with a weightless, nourishing conditioner. This will lay the foundation for a smooth and glossy finish. After rinsing, gently towel dry your hair to remove excess moisture. It should be damp, but not dripping wet. Step 2: Apply a Hair Serum and Heat Protectant Before reaching for any heat styling tools, apply a hair serum to your damp hair. Our Honey Infused Hair Repair Serum is ideal because it eliminates frizz, provides a megawatt shine, and adds an extra layer of protection against heat damage. Follow up with an application of our Propolis Infused Heat Protecting Spray to ensure that your strands are shielded against the high temperatures of heat styling tools. These two steps are vital for preventing damage, protecting your color from fading, and improving the overall health and strength of your hair. Step 3: Apply a Hair Primer To ensure that your glass hair look stays smooth and polished all day, apply our Propolis Infused Polishing Primer. It’s designed to diminish frizz, reduce drying time, and keep your style in place with a workable hold that’s never stiff or sticky. Step 4: Blowout for Smoothness Comb through your hair with a wide-toothed comb to remove any tangles and ensure that your styling products are distributed evenly. Then, using a round brush and blow dryer, give your hair a smooth blowout. Focus on directing the air downward to encourage the hair cuticles to lay flat, which enhances the reflective quality of glass hair. Step 5: Flat Iron Now comes the crucial step in achieving a glass-like finish. Part your hair as you normally would and using a high-quality flat iron, work in small sections to flat iron your hair until it’s perfectly straight. Glide the flat iron slowly down each section of hair, keeping the iron at a consistent speed and temperature to avoid overexposing any one area to the heat.  Step 6: Apply Hair Oil for the Finishing Touch To seal the deal and a final dose of radiant shine, apply a few drops of Honey Infused Hair Oil throughout the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. A little goes a long way, so start with just a small amount and add more if needed.   View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gisou (@gisou)   Glass Hair Treatment and Care Tips The journey to achieving perfect glass hair doesn’t end with the styling process. To keep your hair looking radiant and smooth, it’s essential to provide it with proper care and hydration. Here are some key tips to help you maintain your glass hair’s radiance. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate Just like a glass surface shines when it’s clean and well-maintained, your hair’s luster is directly linked to its health and hydration.  In addition to using a hydrating shampoo and nourishing conditioner, consider incorporating our Honey Infused Hair Mask into your routine at least once a week. Remember, hydrated hair reflects light better and gives off that coveted glass-like shine. Protect Your Style Overnight Protecting your glass hairstyle while you get your beauty sleep is super important. Invest in a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize any friction that could cause frizz. Loosely wrapping your hair with a silk scarf or turban is a great way to maintain the sleekness of the style and prevent tangles to maintain the polished look. Get Regular Trims Blunt ends are a key part of achieving the glass hair look, but those ends can become compromised over time. Be sure to schedule regular trims to maintain the clean and polished appearance. This also ensures that your hair remains healthy and free of split ends. How to Touch Up and Maintain Glass Hair Between Blowouts Giving yourself a full glass hair blowout and flat ironing every day isn’t always doable, and it’s not the best thing for your hair, either. But maintaining your glass hair’s brilliance between blowouts is entirely achievable with a few strategic products and techniques. Apply Leave In Conditioner for Instant Hydration and Luster Between wash days, use our Honey Infused Leave-In Conditioning Spray to infuse your hair with hydration and a touch of brilliance. Simply spritz it lightly from mid-lengths to ends and air dry to restore softness and enhance the shine of your glass hairstyle. Touch Up with Your Flat Iron To maintain that sleek finish until your next blowout, use your flat iron for quick touch-ups. Concentrate on the top layer and any areas that might have lost their smoothness. Remember to use a heat protectant spray before flat ironing, even for touch-ups. Revive with Hair Oil Our Honey Infused Hair Oil isn’t just the perfect finishing touch after a blowout - it’s also your secret weapon for reviving that glass hair shine between washes. A small amount smoothed over the mid-lengths and ends can work wonders for reinvigorating your hair’s glossy shine. Wrapping Up Glass hair isn’t just a trend - it’s a statement of sophistication and confidence. With proper care, the right techniques, and our honey-infused styling products, you can make this coveted look a part of your everyday style repertoire.

From controlling frizz and adding shine to repairing and preventing damage, and so much more, hair serum is a must-have multi-tasker in your styling arsenal. You can even use a hair serum to enhance your hair’s straightness or add definition to your curls - the list goes on and on! Hair serums can provide a quick fix and instant results, but they also offer long-term benefits for overall hair health. However, the way you apply it can play a major role in your experience. Here’s the lowdown on how to use hair serum and apply it correctly for spectacular results! How to Use Hair Serum Correctly Love the idea of a hair serum, but aren’t sure where it fits into your hair care routine? Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of how to apply hair serum, let’s cover the basics of how to use a hair serum correctly. When to Apply Hair Serum Hair serum should be applied just after you’ve washed, conditioned, and towel-dried your hair. Your hair is the most receptive to absorbing the nourishing benefits of hair serum when it’s clean and slightly damp. This is when the hair cuticles are open and ready to drink in the goodness that hair serum provides. How Much Hair Serum to Use A little goes a long way! The amount of hair serum you use should be determined by the length and thickness of your hair.  Generally, a dime-sized amount is a good starting point for those with short to medium-length hair. If your locks are on the longer side, increase the amount slightly. Just remember that it’s much easier to add more serum than it is to remove it if you apply too much! How Often to Apply Hair Serum It’s best to apply hair serum to freshly washed hair. Feel free to apply hair serum each time you wash your hair, adjusting the amount based on the length and thickness of your hair.  How to Apply Hair Serum Step-By-Step Now, let’s get to the heart of the matter! Here’s how to apply hair serum step-by-step for that enviable, salon-worthy finish we all crave. Step One: Preparing Your Hair for Serum Application To prepare your hair for serum application, shampoo with a gentle, sulfate-free hair wash and follow with a lightweight, nourishing conditioner. Gently pat your hair with a microfiber towel to remove excess moisture without roughing up your strands. Step Two: Dispense Hair Serum Into Your Palm Begin by dispensing a few drops of hair serum into the palm of your hand. Use more if your hair is long and thick, and less if it’s short. You can always add more if needed, but starting with just a few drops prevents overapplication. Step Three: Apply Serum to the Mid-Lengths and Ends of Your Hair Here’s where the transformation begins! Rub your palms together to warm the serum, then apply the serum starting at the ends and working your way up to the midshaft of your hair. Pay special attention to areas that are prone to dryness, damage, or frizz. Work the serum through your strands, avoiding the roots to prevent weighing the hair down. Step Four: Distribute the Serum with Your Fingers or a Wide-Toothed Comb To ensure even coverage, use your fingers to gently distribute the serum from mid-lengths to ends. If you have long or thick hair, a wide-toothed comb can also be your ally here, ensuring that every strand is coated with nourishing goodness. It’s important to ensure that the serum is evenly distributed throughout for best results. Step Five: Dry and Style as Usual There’s no need to rinse! You’re ready to dry and style your hair as usual. Feel free to air dry or blow dry and bring in your favorite styling tools. You’ll notice the serum’s transformative effects right away, as your hair takes on a glossy, shiny, frizz-free appearance. Watch heads turn as you flaunt your revitalized locks!   View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gisou (@gisou)   What is Hair Serum Used For? Our Honey Infused Hair Repair Serum is used to seal split ends and intensely hydrate the hair. It also contains plant-based keratin to repair, strengthen, and prevent future damage. Use our hair serum to protect against heat and UV stress, prevent color fading, and restore resilience to your hair. Incorporate our hair serum into your routine to strengthen fragile hair, improve elasticity, and repair chemical or environmental damage. Not only does it act as a shield against styling, but it also enhances straightness or curls, making your hair easier to style overall. As an added bonus, our hair serum leaves your hair infused with the irresistible Gisou signature scent! Using Hair Serum with Other Products Did you know that hair serum plays well with other products in your hair care and styling arsenal? Here are some winning combinations to try! Using Hair Serum with Leave-In Conditioner If your hair needs an extra dose of hydration and manageability, consider pairing our hair serum with our Honey Infused Leave-In Conditioner. This dynamic duo is a recipe for hair that’s not just soft and shiny, but also incredibly easy to style.  Simply apply your leave-in conditioner straight out of the shower as usual, then follow up with a few drops of hair serum through the mid-lengths and ends. Using Hair Serum and a Heat Protectant for Added Protection Heat styling tools can be a blessing and curse - they help you get the look you want, but they can also bring on damage. Before you reach for your hairdryer, straightener, or curling iron, apply our hair serum to shield your strands from the heat. Follow up with a spritz of our Propolis Infused Heat Protecting Spray for double the defense against potential damage. Using Hair Serum and Hair Oil Together Want to take your hair’s glossiness factor to new heights? Combine the nourishing properties of hair oil and hair serum!  Start by applying our Hair Repair Serum to your damp hair before blow drying or styling for enhanced shine and manageability. After styling, finish with a small amount of Honey Infused Hair Oil for intense hydration and frizz control. Common Mistakes to Avoid When Applying Hair Serum Now, let’s help you steer clear of some common hair serum missteps that might hinder your path to luscious locks! Avoiding these mistakes will ensure you’re making the most of every drop of your precious hair serum. Using Too Little or Too Much Product When it comes to how much hair serum to use, finding the sweet spot is key! Using too little might not deliver the desired results, while using too much might leave your hair weighed down and greasy. Remember to start with just a few drops and add more only if you need it. Erring on the side of moderation is the best way to avoid overwhelming your strands. Applying Hair Serum to Unwashed Hair Applying hair serum to unwashed hair can lead to uneven distribution and even make your hair appear dirtier. Always start with freshly washed and conditioned hair for the best results. This ensures that the serum can absorb easily and work its magic! Applying Hair Serum to the Roots of the Hair Applying hair serum directly to the roots of your hair can lead to a greasy, weighed-down appearance. Focus on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, where dryness, breakage, and damage are the most common. Answering Your Frequently Asked Questions The path to perfect hair is paved with knowledge, and we’re here to equip you with all the answers you need! Let’s dive into some of the most common questions about how to use hair serum. Do You Apply Hair Serum On Wet or Dry Hair? At the end of the day, the answer lies somewhere in between! It’s best to apply hair serum to damp hair, just after washing, conditioning, and towel drying. This allows the serum to penetrate effectively without diluting its effectiveness. On the other hand, waiting until the hair’s too dry can lead to uneven distribution and reduced absorption. Can I Use Hair Serum Every Day? It’s best to apply hair serum on wash days to strike the perfect balance between benefits and preventing buildup. However, after the initial application, if your hair is extremely dry and damaged or simply needs a refresher, you can reapply a tiny amount daily or as needed to touch up your style. How is Hair Serum Different from Hair Oil? Hair serum and hair oil might seem similar, but they serve different purposes. Hair serum is generally lighter in texture and is designed to provide immediate results, such as frizz control and shine enhancement. It’s applied as the first step in your styling routine. Hair oil tends to be a little thicker and richer, and although it provides many of the same benefits, it’s primarily used to provide deep hydration and nourishment as a hair treatment, or as the last step in your styling routine. Final Thoughts Ready to witness the transformation firsthand? Say goodbye to frizz, embrace the shine, and give your locks the love they deserve with our Honey Infused Hair Repair Serum. Crafted with care and infused with the nourishing properties of Mirsalehi honey, it’s your secret to lustrous, radiant locks! 

Are you tired of bad hair days that seem to pop up at the most inconvenient times? We get it - hair can be a bit of a drama queen sometimes, refusing to cooperate no matter how much you plead or bargain! But that’s where the magic of hair serums come into play. The right hair serum tackles frizz, adds shine, and even helps to repair existing damage. With hair serum in your beauty arsenal, bad hair days become a distant memory and your mornings become a lot less chaotic! So, what is hair serum, and what can it do for your hair? Read on to find out! What is Hair Serum? So, what is a serum for hair? A hair serum is a lightweight, liquid-based styling product that’s designed to address specific hair concerns, such as split ends, dullness, and frizz. Serums are formulated with smaller molecules, which allows them to penetrate the hair shaft more effectively. Hair serums are typically infused with beneficial ingredients - like honey, vitamins, proteins, and botanical oils - which work together to nourish, protect, and enhance your hair’s appearance. They offer benefits for all hair types, making them a versatile addition to any hair routine.  What Does Hair Serum Do For Hair? So, what can a hair serum do for your precious locks? Let’s take a look! Repairs and Strengthens Damaged Hair If your hair is feeling a little worse for wear due to heat styling, chemical treatments, or environmental factors, a hair serum can step in to save the day! Packed with reparative ingredients, it helps to mend the structure of damaged hair, reducing brittleness and restoring strength. Instantly Moisturizes and Hydrates the Hair Dry, thirsty strands are no match for the hydrating powers of hair serums. Don’t let their lightweight formulas fool you! Hair serums provide an intense and instant boost of moisture, leaving the hair feeling softer, smoother, and more manageable. Reduces Breakage, Improves Elasticity, and Seals Split Ends Breakage and split ends are the bane of every hair enthusiast! Hair serums act as a protective barrier, reducing breakage, improving elasticity, and even sealing those pesky split ends, giving your hair a healthier appearance and protecting it from future damage. Protects from Heat and UV Damage We all love a day at the beach or a good styling session, but UV and heat damage can really take a toll on our tresses. The right hair serum works like a shield against heat styling tools and the sun’s rays, acting as your hair’s personal bodyguard to prevent heat damage.  Smooths the Hair and Controls Frizz A bad summer hair day can mean frizz that is just out of control. Hair serums tame frizz by adding hydration and shielding the hair against humidity, leaving you with a smooth, polished finish that’s ready to face anything the weather throws your way. Enhances Shine and Luster Who doesn’t want hair that gleams and shines with a radiant glow? Hair serum boosts shine and luster with effective ingredients like natural oils. Prevents Color Fading If you’ve invested the time and effort into achieving a stunning hair color, you’ll be glad to know that hair serum can prolong your color’s longevity. They work to lock in color, preventing premature fading and keeping your hue looking fresh. Hair Serum Benefits for Different Hair Types Hair serums offer benefits for all hair types! Here’s a deeper look at the results you can expect when you use a hair serum regularly. Dry Hair and Damaged Hair If your hair is feeling more like straw than silk, serums are here to quench its thirst. Enriched with nourishing ingredients like botanical oils, serums penetrate deep into each strand, infusing dry and damaged hair with much-needed hydration. Packed with nourishing ingredients like essential oils, vitamins, keratin, and proteins, serums dive deep into each strand, replenishing lost moisture and helping to mend the damage. By creating a protective barrier, they lock in moisture and prevent further damage, restoring your hair’s elasticity and leaving it smoother, shinier, and revitalized. Oily Hair It may seem counterproductive to use hair serum on oily hair, but it’s actually a great idea! The right serum can help to balance your scalp’s natural oil production. A lightweight serum can regulate sebum production while still delivering essential nutrients to leave your hair nourished and manageable without weighing it down or leaving it looking greasy. Curly and Textured Hair Curly and textured hair types often require a bit of extra care and attention, and hair serums provide just the TLC your hair needs. The right serum works to define curls, combat frizz, and enhance the natural texture of your locks with renewed bounce and shine. Key Ingredients to Look For When Choosing a Hair Serum Behind every effective hair serum lies a treasure trove of carefully chosen ingredients. Here’s a look at some of the key ingredients found in our Honey Infused Hair Repair Serum. Honey Honey isn’t just a sweet treat for your tastebuds, it’s also a powerful antioxidant. The superstar ingredient in our hair serum is Mirsalehi Honey from our very own bee garden. Packed with natural humectant properties, our honey draws moisture to the hair keeping it hydrated and soft. Plant-based keratin Keratin is one of the key proteins that are responsible for the optimal health of our nails and hair. This plant-based protein is found in our hair serum because it works to restore hair strength, leaving it more resilient and less prone to breakage. If your hair has been through the wringer with heat styling or chemical treatments, our keratin-infused hair serum can be a game changer! Nutrient-Rich Botanical Oils Nutrient-rich botanical oils are the stuff of legends when it comes to hair care! Our hair serum includes our precious Bee Garden Oil Blend which is chock full of vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids that work wonders for your hair.

Ever look at your hair and feel it’s dull and lacking that beautiful luster? No matter how hard you try to get it to shine, it just looks flat. There is a very real possibility that it’s the water you are using to shampoo your hair.  Many of us deal with hard water conditions when we shower and don’t think much of it. But the effects of hard water on hair can cause more damage than you may realize. Here’s an in-depth look at what hard water does to your hair and how to repair and prevent the damage.  Is Hard Water Bad for Your Hair? Absolutely. There is no other way to say it. Hard water contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which can leave a residue on the hair and scalp. This can lead to issues like dryness, brittleness, and dullness of the hair. Additionally, the mineral buildup can also interfere with the effectiveness of hair products and make it harder to achieve your favorite hairstyle. Let’s take a deeper look at the effects of hard water on your hair.  What Does Hard Water Do To Your Hair? The most common consequences of washing your hair with hard water are the following.  Fades Color For those of us that invest in our hair and spend money on coloring, hard water can be our sworn enemy. Hard water can fade the hue or coloring of the hair very quickly. Worse than just a fade, depending on how much exposure to hard water a particular spot is getting, it can lead to uneven hair coloring.  Dry, Flaky, or Greasy Scalp When using hard water to wash our hair, the scalp can start to feel dry, flaky, or greasy. It’s also possible to have a combination of all three, which can feel the worst. When our scalp is dried out and starts to flake, our body thinks it needs to make up in oil. This can lead to the greasy overproduction of oil. Dandruff can often result from this as well. Flat and Dull Appearance The chemicals and deposits from hard water break down the nutrients in our hair and strip it of its natural oils. This leads to a flat and dull look because our hair may struggle to hold on to moisture and important nutrients. Often this is associated with hair that is high porosity because it’s either weighed down by grease that sits on the top of the head or lets go of the moisture as quickly as it comes in,  Harmful to Hair Growth Hard water leads to hair breakage and split ends, which can prevent our hair from growing long and strong. It also creates scalp issues, as mentioned. When our scalp is bogged down by debris, it doesn’t get the necessary circulation to grow healthy roots.  What is Hard Water? Hard water is water that contains high concentrations of minerals. These minerals are picked up as the water passes through rocks and soil, and their presence can cause various issues with mineral buildup in pipes, appliances, and more. Hard water can also lead to soap scum formation and negative effects for the hair and skin. Minerals in Hard Water That Cause Hair Damage In hard water, the minerals that primarily cause hair damage are calcium and magnesium ions. These minerals can form a buildup on the hair shaft, leading to issues like dryness, brittleness, and dullness. As many as 85% of Americans have hard water in their home because it’s a very naturally occurring phenomenon. In other words, you aren’t alone! The Signs of Hard Water On Hair Do you have any of the following hair symptoms? It’s possible that hard water is the root of the problem. Pun intended! Hair Dryness Dry and coarse hair is one of the leading effects of hard water on hair. When minerals build up on the hair, it creates a defense barrier. Not a good one, either. This barrier locks out moisture rather than locking in moisture. People exposed to hard water may feel like, regardless of the products they use, their hair remains dry.  Hair Loss and Hair Thinning In the most extreme cases, hard water can lead not only to breakage but actual hair loss. As mentioned, the scalp can be affected, causing it to become dry and flaky. When our scalp is dry and doesn’t nourish our roots. With so much calcium, the hair shaft can often become brittle because it’s not getting the nutrients it needs.  This can result in their breaking off at the base rather than split ends. You may notice extreme hair loss in the shower or even after the shower when brushing out your hair. The hair strands may fall out easily and feel less attached to the scalp. All of a sudden, we are dealing with thinning hair rather than rich, thick, luxurious hair.  Split Ends and Breakage When nutrients can’t penetrate the hair shaft because of the barrier, it’s easy for the hair to become brittle and split, causing split ends. This results in tons of breakage, making it hard to grow our hair longer. And, the longer it grows without the necessary nutrients, the weaker it becomes.  Frizziness Naturally, when our hair gets dry and has a lot of split ends, it becomes frizzy. Our hair needs a certain level of moisture to be tamed without also looking greasy. Moisturized hair from the inside out reduces frizziness, but it’s not as easy when dealing with hard water.  How to Repair Hard Water Damage On Hair So, can you repair hard water damage on hair? The good news is that we can do a number of things to break down the build-up and give our hair the reset that it deserves. This includes both treating our hair and using preventative measures.  Use a Pre-Shampoo Treatment Using a pre-shampoo treatment works hard to reset the hair and address issues caused by hard water. A pre-shampoo treatment can come from a number of avenues.  Gisou’s Honey Infused Scalp Treatment is a powerhouse pre-shampoo treatment that can be left on overnight. Applying our scalp treatment at night is a great way to detox your scalp, eliminating the dryness and itchiness that go hand in hand with hard water buildup. It provides immediate relief as well as long-term results thanks to natural actives like Mirsalehi Honey. Honey is an anti-inflammatory as well as an antioxidant. When our scalp is nourished from these ingredients, we start addressing healthy hair from the root on out.  Hair oiling is another effective option. Gisou’s Honey-Infused Hair Oil works to penetrate the hair shaft and provide moisture from the inside out. Honey is a natural humectant meaning it is able to lock in moisture more easily because of how it latches on to the strands.  Hair oiling can also be used as the last step in your styling routine to add moisture and shine to dull, damaged hair. Combining the two treatments together reaps double the benefits.  Use a Chelating or Clarifying Shampoo After a pre-shampoo treatment, the next stage is using a gentle, yet effective chelating or clarifying shampoo that will break down some of the buildup and deposits left behind by hard water. The important thing to remember is that after the build-up is cleansed, the hair needs to be nourished.   Use a Deep Conditioning Hair Mask It’s never a bad idea to give our hair extra love. A deep-conditioning hair mask is the perfect way to do this. You can use a deep conditioning hair mask overnight, before washing, or after shampooing. Depending on your hair needs will determine the frequency at which you use it.  But what makes a good deep-conditioning hair mask? Let’s take a look! It should be rich in amino acids, vitamins, minerals (good ones), and antioxidants to repair damaged hair It should be able to be applied on damp, wet, or dry hair It can be used as a short-term or overnight treatment Our Honey Infused Hair Mask covers all these bases and much more. It’s rich in natural and powerful ingredients, like Mirsalehi Honey, to bring your hair back to life.      Get Regular Trims Allowing split ends to remain on our hair is never good for our overall hair health. It can lead to more breakage and the continual weakening of the hair shaft. The higher up the hair split goes, the more we’ll have to chop off later. If we get regular trims, it gets ahead of this issue and can give us a fresh start in terms of keeping our hair healthy.  How to Prevent the Effects of Hard Water On Hair While we can certainly treat our hair once there is damage, it’s always best to take preventative action. Here is what we can do.  Buy a Filter for Your Shower Head A filter for your shower head is a great solution. This helps prevent the deposits from ever reaching your hair and scalp. Keep in mind that filters will have to be changed out every so often, and they come in a wide range of prices and options. Investing in a quality filter is important to ensure that you’re getting the best results possible. Install a Water Softener Water softeners are also highly effective for eliminating hard water issues throughout your entire home. They address the entire house's water system rather than just one area, using a process called ion exchange. Water passes through a resin where the minerals are removed from the water before entering your interior plumbing system. Rinse with Apple Cider Vinegar Last but not least, a simple solution is to rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar whenever you notice that it’s looking dull or not styling as it should. Apple cider vinegar is more acidic than shampoos and works to remove mineral build-up from the hair. Don’t Wait To Protect Your Hair Understanding the effects of hard water on our hair is crucial for maintaining healthy and vibrant locks. The buildup caused by hard water usage can leave our hair looking lackluster, dry, and damaged. The good news is that there are effective solutions to repair and protect our tresses from the harmful effects of hard water.

If you've ever looked in the mirror and noticed your hair isn't as lustrous and healthy as it once was, you're not alone. Damaged hair is a common concern for many of us, and it can happen for a variety of reasons. But fret not, because in this guide, we're going to explore what damaged hair is, what causes it, and most importantly, what you can do to bring your locks back to life. What is damaged hair? First things first, let's define what damaged hair actually means. Damaged hair is hair that has lost its natural structure and vitality. It often appears dry, frizzy, and dull. You might notice split ends, breakage, or a lack of shine – all telltale signs that your hair is not at its best.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gisou (@gisou)   Common causes of damaged hair Now that we know what damaged hair looks like, let's delve into what causes it. Knowledge is power, and understanding the root causes can help you take steps to prevent and repair damage. Heat Styling: Frequent use of hot tools like straighteners and curling irons can weaken hair's protein structure, making it prone to damage. Chemical Treatments: Coloring, perming, and chemical straightening treatments can strip your hair of its natural oils and leave it brittle. Environmental Factors: Exposure to harsh weather conditions, UV rays, and pollution can take a toll on your hair, leaving it parched and lifeless. Poor Hair Care Habits: Over-washing, using harsh shampoos, sleeping with wet hair and not conditioning properly can lead to dryness and damage. Lack of Moisture: Hair needs moisture to thrive. Without it, it becomes brittle and prone to breakage. Repair and revitalize damaged hair Now that we've explored what causes damaged hair, let's discuss what you can do to restore your locks to their natural glory with a natural approach to beauty and self-care. Honey-Infused Hair Mask: Begin your journey to healthier hair with Gisou's Honey-Infused Hair Mask. Packed with the nourishing goodness of honey, this mask deeply hydrates and repairs damaged hair. Apply it regularly to restore moisture and shine. Heat Protection: If you can't resist your styling tools, protect your hair with a heat protectant spray. Gisou offers a lightweight Heat Protecting Spray that shields your hair from heat damage while leaving it manageable and silky. Gentle Shampoo and Conditioner: Swap out harsh shampoos for Gisou's Gentle Shampoo and Conditioner. Infused with honey and other natural ingredients, they cleanse and condition your hair without stripping away its essential oils. Repairing hair serum: Our Honey Infused Hair Repair Serum acts as a protective barrier, is clinically proven to reduce breakage, improve elasticity, and seal split ends, giving your hair a healthier appearance and protecting it from future damage. Trim Regularly: To get rid of those split ends and prevent further damage, schedule regular trims with your hairstylist. Natural Air Drying: Whenever possible, let your hair air dry instead of using hot tools. This minimizes heat-related damage. Balanced Diet: Your hair's health is closely linked to your diet. Ensure you're consuming a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals that support hair growth and strength. Wrapping up Damaged hair is a common concern, but it's not the end of the road for your locks. With the right care and the nourishing properties of Gisou's honey-infused products, you can bring your hair back to life.

Generously apply this nourishing mask to the lengths of your hair. Allow it to work its magic for 30 minutes before rinsing. This step will infuse your hair with the moisture it needs, leaving it soft and supple. Step 3: Detangle & Smooth After washing your hair, reach for the Leave-In Conditioner. Spray it evenly from mid-lengths to ends onto damp hair before detangling. No need to rinse! This conditioner will help you tame those pesky tangles and keep your hair manageable. Step 4: Shine & Control Frizz For the finishing touch, grab the Hair Oil. Warm 2-3 drops in your palms and use your fingers to evenly distribute the product through damp or dry hair, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends. Not only will this give your hair a lustrous shine, but it will also help control frizz, leaving your locks looking sleek and polished.
