Generously apply this nourishing mask to the lengths of your hair. Allow it to work its magic for 30 minutes before rinsing.

There’s something undeniably alluring about hair that not only looks amazing but also smells incredible! We all want that fresh, irresistible scent wafting from our tresses. But let’s face it: the market is flooded with chemically-laden products most of us would prefer to avoid. Chemicals can be harsh on your hair and scalp, potentially leading to irritation and dryness. Thankfully, there are numerous ways to make your hair smell good naturally. Let’s explore some simple, yet effective, tips and tricks for great-smelling hair without compromising hair health! 10 Ways to Make Your Hair Smell Good Naturally If you’re seeking natural alternatives to make your hair smell fantastic, you may be surprised to learn that the health of your scalp plays a key role. Here are nine ways to achieve a fresh and fragrant mane and improve the health of your hair and scalp at the same time! 1. Keep Your Scalp Clean and Healthy Keeping your scalp clean and healthy plays a major role in how your hair smells. The thought process is very similar to why we brush our teeth. If we don’t keep our teeth clean of bacteria and debris, it turns into build-up. Just like your teeth, a build-up of unhealthy debris can lead to ineffective cleaning of your hair.  To combat build up use a gentle and natural scalp serum such as Gisou’s Honey Infused Scalp Treatment. This formula does the perfect job of creating a balanced microbiome for your scalp. Say goodbye to a dry, itchy, and uncomfortable scalp. Instead, you can feel moisturized and clean from your scalp to your roots.  2. Use Leave-In Conditioner Between Wash Days Stripping your hair of its natural oils with daily washes is one of the easiest ways to take away a natural scent from your hair. Too much hot water will dry out the strands leaving them frail instead of full and able to absorb nutrients.  You may be thinking, “How do I keep my smelling great if I am not washing it?” Refresh your hair with leave-in conditioner in between your wash days!  Simply spray it evenly from the mid-length of your hair to the tips and comb through. You don’t need to focus on your roots as much since they are the least likely to be dry and tangled.  3. Use Hair Perfume Have you ever sprayed your hair with your regular perfume? Unfortunately, regular perfume isn’t meant to go into the hair and can cause it to dry out. That is unless you are using a specific natural hair perfume. We say specific because even using something like lemon juice can dry out our hair.  Natural hair perfumes offer the same benefits without damaging your hair. By sectioning your hair, you can spray the hair perfume all over at about an arm’s length away. At the end, give your hair a little flip to get a good whiff of the scent.  4. Try a Deep Conditioning Hair Mask Gisou’s Honey Infused Hair Mask has a wonderful scent that gets left behind after use, but its benefits don’t end there. Our nourishing hair mask restores hair that may be on the frail side or damaged by heat or coloring.  Our hair mask can be used in a few different ways. One of the best approaches is to leave it on overnight. This will allow for the nutrients to soak in deeply. If you’re short on time, you can also do a 10-minute hair mask before your shower.  Or, you can simply shampoo your hair, apply the mask and leave it on while you shower, then use your regular conditioner. The heat from the humidity in the shower will allow for better absorption in the scalp and roots.  5. Embrace Hair Oils Hair oiling is a hot new trend for a good reason. A good hair oil should focus on powerful humectants that grab onto water molecules for the ultimate hydration. Hair oiling is a great alternative to hair masks that try to find similar benefits of shiny, bouncy, and nourished hair.  Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil nourishes the hair from the inside out, creating longer and stronger locks. And the best part? It leaves your hair smelling amazing!  In fact, our hair oil can be used in conjunction with our hair mask overnight for double benefits. Simply add 2-3 drops to the palms of your hand and combine it with your mask before applying.  6. Optimize Your Diet Now, not everything can be done through quality products. While it certainly helps, you may also want to consider your diet. We are what we eat, and when we consume oily and sugary foods, are body processes that in certain ways. Body odor is something that may occur when the skin is unhealthy, and that can include scalp odor.  But when we focus on foods that help promote hair and scalp health, we can combat this. Omega 3 fatty acids, like those found in nuts, seeds, and olive oil, are just one nutrient to think of. Fruits and citrus foods also play an important role in our scalp health. Last but certainly not least, we must keep hydrated to keep the hair and scalp moisturized from the inside out. Drinking water is not only great for our hair but certainly for our skin, nails, and overall well-being.  7. Be Mindful of Your Environment Environmental factors such as pollution, smoke, or even cooking certain foods can leave a lasting scent we don’t love on our clothes and hair. Considering where you are for extended periods of time is key.  One trick to combatting environmental smells is wrapping your hair in a scarf when you are in these environments to protect it! You can also wear a baseball cap if that is more of your style.  No matter where you are or what you do to protect your hair, if you feel there is a lot of pollution, it is always a good idea to wash it when you get home. The longer the smell stays on your hair, the more it will stick.   8. Practice Good Hair Hygiene Habits Good hair hygiene habits are a must. Here are some key habits to add to your routine for great-smelling hair: Brushing your hair helps to remove dirt, dust, and environmental pollutants. Regular brushing is a great way to prevent unpleasant odors from settling into your hair. It also helps to distribute the natural oils in your hair, providing natural conditioning and keeping the hair smelling fresh. Another school of thought is not touching our hair when we don’t need to. The more we touch our hair with our dirty hands, the more debris we bring into it. The oils from our palms immediately go into our hair, contributing to potential odors.  Keeping our hair tools clean is crucial. Every time we use a product in our hair, it gets on our tools. Build-up and bacteria linger, which gets transferred directly back to our hair during the next use.  Our pillows are some of the biggest culprits for storing hair oil. The more that goes onto our pillow, the more our face, skin, and hair gets dirty with each use. Frequent washing of the pillowcase is vital for fresh-smelling hair.  While these may seem like tedious little tasks, the difference they can make in the way your hair smells naturally is huge.  9. Manage Stress Managing our stress levels has always been an important factor when it comes to our hair and skin. Stress triggers the release of hormones like cortisol, which can lead to an overproduction of sebum, the natural oil produced by the scalp. Excess sebum can make the hair appear oily and create an environment that’s more prone to odor-causing bacteria. Taking time to decompress and relax can do wonders for your hair and scalp. Need inspiration? Have a spa night, and be sure to use hair mask treatments! Try guided meditation Get some fresh hair and exercise Have a cup of tea with honey Supplement with nutrients that help combat stress While there are many more ways to handle stress, finding something that works for you and your routines is the most important.  10. Rule Out Medical Issues If you find hair odor to be particularly problematic, it is never a bad idea to consult your doctor. Some medical issues may introduce side effects that directly impact our hair health and scalp health.  Being Proactive for Great Smelling Hair In the quest to make your hair smell good naturally, it’s clear that taking proactive measures for hair and scalp health is essential. By nurturing your hair and scalp, you not only enhance its scent naturally but also promote overall hair health and radiance. Crafted with the finest natural ingredients, Gisou Honey Infused Hair Perfume leaves your hair smelling heavenly while offering the nourishing properties of honey. Exude a captivating fragrance that will turn heads wherever you go! 

Our hair is a precious part of our identity. And we can all agree that most of us yearn for full, bouncy, shiny, and healthy hair. Sometimes we engage in several different hair care routines but don’t always get the results we want. That may have something to do with our hair porosity. Addressing our hair’s ability to take on certain products and adapt to a routine is very important. Different types of hair porosity directly affect our hair health.  That's why understanding the meaning of hair porosity meaning and your own porosity health is essential. Let’s take a look! What is Hair Porosity? Hair porosity is our hair's ability to retain moisture. It also includes our hair’s ability to retain vitamins and essential nutrients from different substances found in our favorite hair care products. Hair porosity is the result of our hair cuticle health.  Our hair cuticle is the outermost layer of our hair strands. This outer layer directly impacts how well it protects and nourishes the inner layer of our hair. When we zoom in close to our cuticle, it looks like overlapping scales that protect that inner layer.  Our hair cuticles can have different levels of health. The flatter the scales lie, the smoother and more hydrated our hair is. This gives beautiful and shiny locks. When the scales are roughed up, it allows the inner layer to lose moisture and creates a dull look. What Causes High or Low Porosity Hair? So, what determines whether you have high or low hair porosity? Here are the most common reasons.  Genetics is one of the top factors in hair porosity. You can inherit low, medium, or high hair porosity from your parents and genetic DNA, just like we can inherit thick, thin, curly, or straight hair.  Damaging the hair cuticle leads to a higher porosity. This can happen in various ways, such as excessive heat, chemicals, unhealthy hair treatments, and so on.  Environmental factors, such as excessive sun, wind, and pollution, is another way that the hair cuticle can be damaged, leading to higher porosity.  Like most parts of our bodies, as we age, our hair cuticle can lose some of its strength.  Our hair naturally has wear and tear.  Heat and chemicals aren’t the only things to watch out for. Using our hairbrushes, combs, or other hair tools too frequently can cause friction and damage the hair strands.  Swimming in pools that have chlorine leads to harsh chemicals that can break down our hair’s protective barriers.  How Hair Porosity Influences Hydration and Moisture Retention What’s confusing about hair porosity is that loose scales allow for a lot of moisture in, but it goes out just as quickly. This is a result of high hair porosity. And that’s why high hair porosity is less optimal even though we are absorbing more moisture.  What we really hope for is tighter scales, but not so tight that nutrients can’t penetrate. This is called medium hair porosity.  The tighter the scales, the stronger the protective barrier. The looser and farther apart the scales are, the less moisture and nutrient retention. When the scales are too loose or tight, it ultimately leads to undernourished hair.  Influence of Hair Porosity on Hair Product Absorption Understanding your hair porosity will help you choose better products suited to your hair needs. The influence comes from the fact that your hair porosity works better with certain products that are more or less humectant. Humectants have an easier time retaining moisture because they help create additional barriers to lock in moisture.  Types of Hair Porosity Let’s define and take a closer look at the different types of hair porosity since there are varying levels.  Low Porosity Hair Low porosity hair means that your cuticles or hair scales are tightly wound together. They are overlapping and potentially too tight, not allowing moisture or nutrients in.   Common characteristics:  Products tend to sit on your head rather than do their job Your hair doesn’t saturate from water quickly.  Your hair takes a longer time to air dry.  Medium Porosity Hair As you might guess, medium hair porosity falls in between both extremes. This is the optimal place to be. The hair cuticles are close enough but not so close that they don’t let any moisture in.  Common characteristics:  Your hair is easy to style and holds the style well It is not hard to color your hair Your hair is shiny and glossy but not greasy Your hair doesn’t take long to air dry High Porosity Hair High hair porosity means our hair cuticles are widely spread, allowing a lot of moisture in. But this also means it allows a lot of moisture out and leads to dull hair that is undernourished.  Common characteristics: Your hair quickly absorbs product and water You have a lot of hair breakage Your hair is dry and frizzy Your hair dries easily How to Determine Hair Porosity There are a few different ways that we can test our hair porosity so that we can adequately address our hair needs. The quicker we understand, the faster we can feed our hair the right products.  The best approach to testing your hair is to use a combination of tests to confirm results. For instance, the Slip ‘n’ Slide test should be followed by another hair porosity test to confirm results.  Water Test One of the most popular tests is the water test. Take a clean and unconditioned hair strand and place it in a glass of water that is at room temperature. If the hair sinks to the bottom, then it falls into the high porosity.  If the strand of hair floats at the top of the water, then you have low-porosity hair. The optimal result is to have the strand of hair float in the middle of the glass halfway between the bottom and the top.  Slip 'n' Slide Test The Slip ‘n’ Slide test is a little more subjective. To complete the test take a single strand of hair and hold it straight out. With your other hand, run the strand between your thumb and pointer finger. Move up the strand from the bottom to the root. If you feel it is bumpy, you have high porosity because you feel the raised scales. If you feel it is smooth, you have low porosity.  Professional Assessment The best way to see where your hair falls is through a professional assessment. With there being varying levels of hair health and porosity, you can have a much closer look at where your hair stands. Hair professionals know exactly what to look for and how to test our hair to determine how well it’s absorbing nutrients as well as retaining them.  How to Care for Low-Porosity Hair Focus on conditioners that are protein-free. The reason is that conditioners with protein tend to be more absorbent. In the case of low-porosity hair, a conditioner that is packed with protein will cause extra build-up on hair instead of absorbing into your hair.  Conditioner should be applied to hair that is well-saturated and wet. This will allow for better absorption.  Honey should be one of the top ingredients on your list. Honey is a natural humectant with multiple benefits for hydrating and repairing low-porosity hair Using heat indirectly to your hair will help low-porosity hair absorb the products like conditioners and hair masks. Try applying a moisturizing product before you work out to maximize absorption.  How to Care for Medium Porosity Hair Medium hair porosity is the goal, but you must take steps to maintain it. Constantly evaluating your hair needs is important. To stay in this range, you want to stay away from harsh chemicals, which can damage the hair and lead to low porosity.  Medium porosity hair benefits from regular and consistent moisture. Incorporating leave-in conditioners and deep-conditioning hair masks into your routine is key to maintaining the health of your hair. Although medium porosity hair can handle some heat, try to minimize the use of heat tools whenever possible. When you do use heat, apply a heat protectant spray to reduce damage. Choose a sulfate-free shampoo and avoid hair products that harsh chemicals, which can strip your hair of its natural oils. How to Care for High Porosity Hair Using quality oils is key for high-porosity hair. Our Honey-Infused Hair Oil is ideal for strengthening high-porosity hair and enhancing its natural shine Apply our Leave-In Conditioner between washes to add moisture without weighing the hair down.   Always use heat-protectant products and avoid hot tools as much as you can. Hair breakage is a top concern for high-porosity hair, and heat is your enemy.  Nobody likes a cold shower, but you should opt for lukewarm water instead of hot. This will help to reduce dryness and minimize breakage. Can Hair Porosity Change and How Can I Improve It? By paying close attention to your hair porosity and how it changes over time, we can continually improve it. While genetics certainly play a part, we have control over how we treat our hair. By implementing the steps above, once we determine where our hair falls, we can seek to improve the condition.  This is why it’s important to emphasize high-quality products that meet your hair needs. Products that are overloaded with chemicals or harmful ingredients can make you feel like nothing is working. Just know that it may not be you! Or your hair! Taking It One Step At a Time Understanding hair porosity is a crucial step toward achieving luscious and healthy locks. By identifying your hair’s porosity, you can tailor your hair care routine to meet its unique needs. Moisture retention is key, and finding the right products can make all the difference!

Are you tired of battling those dry, cracked lips that seem to have a mind of their own? Lip oil may be just the solution you’ve been looking for. Lip oils have taken the beauty world by storm, offering a nourishing and hydrating experience like no other. But with so many options out there, how do you know which lip oil is truly best for your parched pout? Grab a cup of tea, sit back, and let’s dive into the world of lip oils to discover the one that will leave your lips feeling irresistibly luscious and hydrated. Let’s not waste a minute more! Is Lip Oil Good for Dry Lips? Yes, lip oils are good for dry lips for a number of reasons. Lip oils are formulated with botanical oils that moisturize and hydrate the lips. Botanical oils are also full of essential fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that help to heal dry, cracked lips and leave them feeling soft, smooth, and revitalized. Understanding Dry Lips If your lips feel like they are dry, flaky, or cracked, chances are you have some form of chapped lips. There are a number of reasons why your lips may end up like this. Let’s explore a few of the most common factors.  Extreme weather conditions that expose your lips to the freezing cold or excessive heat can lead to cracked and burned lips.  Dehydration from not drinking enough water can lead to moisture loss throughout your entire body. This includes your lips.  Saliva can break down our lips because of the digestive enzymes. When our lips are already in chapped conditions, licking them only provides temporary relief before worsening them.  Because we have to deal with these circumstances, it is incredibly important to treat our lips the right way with the best lip oils What is Lip Oil? Lip oil is a lip care product specifically designed to nourish, hydrate and protect the lips. Lip oils are made from a blend of plant-based oils like grape seed oil, sunflower seed oil, and evening primrose oil, among others. Lip oils are known for their ability to deeply moisturize the lips, helping to combat dryness, chapped lips, and flakiness. They often contain additional beneficial ingredients, like honey, or sometimes even a subtle golden shimmer to enhance the overall appearance of the lips. Lip oil often gets confused with lip balms or even lip glosses. While there are some common denominators, the products are actually quite different. Lip oil penetrates deep into the different skin layers of the lips, whereas a lip balm provides a waxy layer that rests on the top of the skin. A lip balm may provide temporary relief or protection, while a lip oil works on nourishing the lips from the inside out. The important thing to remember is that the ingredients in lip oil are crucial for providing the best care and relief. So what should we be on the lookout for? Choosing the Best Lip Oils for Dry Lips There are a number of factors to consider, like ingredients that focus on moisturizing the lips as well as providing long-lasting results. There are even important things to know considering the packaging.  Moisturizing Properties A good lip oil contains moisturizing properties to nourish your lips the right way. Moisturized lips are plump lips. Hyaluronic acid is a top ingredient that helps penetrate the barrier of the skin. Its powerful strength provides intense hydration.  Our lip oil is also made from 99.5% natural ingredients, including the Mirsalehi Bee Garden Oil Blend, which provides special omega fatty acids that provide long-lasting hydration. We also include honey for its antioxidants, among a number of vitamins and minerals, to nourish the lips during its hydration process. Ingredients Natural ingredients are important in order to ensure you aren’t applying chemicals or harmful products to your lips. Instead, look for powerful key ingredients like different fruit and seed oils that provide additional nutrients.  Blueberry seed oil is a great example because it has Omega 3s and Omega 6s which work to reinforce the skin’s protective barrier. Grape seed oil and safflower seed oil are also ideal choices for hydration and holding in moisture. Long-Lasting Formula No formula is good if you have to re-apply it every few minutes. A good lip oil should last you through the day and again if you apply it as an overnight treatment. When the lip oil you choose does its job, you shouldn’t feel like you need to reapply too often because your lips will feel moisturized.  Texture and Finish Your lip oil should provide a smooth finish that adds a layer of shine. When the oil is on, the product should naturally feel glossy without being too thick. When the lip oil wears off, your lips should feel smooth and hydrated rather than flaky and dry.  Packaging When choosing lip oil, the packaging does matter. Lip oils can be sensitive to air, light, and temperature. Moisture properties and ingredients can react to these factors making the ingredients unstable or less effective, so airtight packaging is key. Look for a product that comes with its own doe foot applicator for convenience and easy application.  Sustainability Selling ethically sourced and sustainable products such as lip oil is important for brand longevity and the consumer. When using honey, protecting bee life is one of our earth’s concerns! That’s why all of Gisou’s honey comes from a multigenerational farm that protects the bee life cycle and its welfare.  What is the Best Lip Oil for Dry Lips? Allow us to introduce Gisou Honey-Infused Lip Oil! Its unique ingredients combine hyaluronic acid and plant-based botanical oils with Mirsalehi Honey from our very own bee garden.

In today's fast-paced world, finding ways to simplify our beauty routines and save time is essential. However, it doesn't mean we have to compromise on self-care. In fact, with a few strategic tweaks to our habits, we can achieve a low-maintenance routine while still looking fabulous. Let's explore some high-maintenance habits that have been transformed into time-saving rituals. Habit 1: Deep Hair Treatment with a Sleek Bun Taking care of our hair is crucial, but it often requires dedicating time to hair masks and treatments. The Honey Infused Hair Mask is a game-changer in this aspect. By applying the mask and then putting your hair in a sleek bun, you can enjoy the nourishing benefits throughout the day without any downtime. This method not only saves time but also allows you to multitask while treating your locks.  Looking for extra nourishment? Mix a full dropper of Honey Infused Hair Oil with your Hair Mask before applying to add an extra dose of nourishing honey to your mask treatment. Habit 2: Effortless Face Contouring and Highlighting Face contouring can be time-consuming, especially if you're a perfectionist. However, with a clever approach, you can achieve a glowing, contoured look without the need for daily makeup applications. Try using face tan the night before and then applying the Honey Infused Beauty Balm on your cheekbones as a highlighter. This will give your face a natural, radiant glow for a couple of days, eliminating the need for frequent makeup touch-ups. Habit 3: Invest in Quality Shampoo and Conditioner Healthy hair is easier to manage, and investing in high-quality shampoo and conditioner can make a significant difference in your hair's health and appearance. Try our Honey Infused Hair Wash and Conditioner, formulated to effectively cleanse and deeply nourish your hair. By using effective products, you'll need less time and effort to style your hair daily. Plus, the long-term benefits of improved hair health will save you time and money on extensive hair treatments and salon visits. Habit 4: Nourished Cuticles for Better Nail Health Maintaining impeccable nails often requires frequent trips to the salon, but there's a simpler way to keep your manicure looking fresh and your nails healthy. Applying the Honey Infused Beauty Balm on your cuticles at night will provide nourishment and hydration, helping to prevent chipping and promoting healthy nail growth. This quick habit saves time on fixing broken nails and extends the longevity of your manicure. Habit 5: Overnight Face Mask for Glowing Skin A glowing and radiant complexion is the dream of every skincare enthusiast. Achieving that glow doesn't have to be a time-consuming process. Incorporating an overnight face mask into your routine can work wonders. Look for a nourishing mask with skin-loving ingredients like honey and apply it before bedtime. Wake up to plump, hydrated, and glowing skin without the need for elaborate morning skincare routines. In conclusion, transforming high-maintenance habits into low maintenance rituals is not about neglecting self-care but rather finding smart and efficient ways to achieve the same results in less time. By embracing these time-saving practices, you'll not only simplify your beauty routine but also free up more time for the things that truly matter in life. So, let's say goodbye to unnecessary complexity and hello to a more effortless, yet equally glamorous, approach to self-pampering.

We all wake up with a few knots and tangles now and then, but matted hair is an entirely different challenge. What is matted hair, and what causes it? Hair matting… those stubborn knots and clumps that seem to have a mind of their own… can strike anyone, but certain factors put you at higher risk.  From everyday habits to hair type and texture, there are many reasons for hair matting. But thankfully, there are pain-free solutions that don’t require cutting off your hair! And we’re here to arm you with the knowledge and techniques you need to conquer the tangles and get your hair back to healthy and beautiful again. What is Matted Hair? Before we dive into the causes and solutions for matted hair, let’s first understand what hair matting actually is. Matted hair refers to tangled and knotted strands that become tightly woven together, forming clumps or mats.  Mats can occur anywhere on the head, from the roots to the ends of the hair. Hair matting happens when loose hair strands repeatedly tangle and twist themselves around attached hairs, leading to a tightly knotted clump. Some people, especially those with curly or textured hair types or very dry hair, are more prone to matted hair, but there can be other contributing factors. For example, if you wear your hair in braids or dreadlocks and don’t comb it regularly to remove loose strands, it can become severely matted.  What Does Matted Hair Look Like? The appearance of matted hair can vary based on the severity of the mats and how long they’ve been allowed to form. The most apparent sign of matted hair is the presence of knots and clumps. Hair mats can range in size from smaller knots to large clumps that incorporate significant portions of the hair. Matted hair often feels rough, knotty, or tangled to the touch. It will have an uneven texture, with smooth sections that are interspersed with areas that are densely matted. The tangles create resistance, making it difficult or seemingly impossible to pass a comb or brush through the hair. In severe cases of matted hair, visible clumps and clusters are noticeable to others. Overall, the hair may appear more frizzy and have a disheveled or untamed appearance. If you notice these signs in your hair, it’s essential to take action right away to prevent the mats from worsening and leading to further damage. What Causes Hair Matting? Hair matting can be caused by a variety of factors, from improper care and styling practices to hair type. Understanding what is causing your hair to mat can help you take proactive steps to address the issue and prevent matted hair in the future. Long Hair Long hair is beautiful, but it’s also more prone to knots and tangles due to its length. The longer the hair, the more opportunity there is for loose strands to intertwine with attached strands and create mats. Long hair is also more susceptible to friction from everyday activities like rubbing on your pillow or exposure to wind. Curly or Coily Hair Curly or coily hair types are more prone to matted hair due to the unique structure of their hair strands. The natural bends and coils in these hair types make it easier for strands to interlock and form mats. Curly and coily hair also tends to be drier and more fragile, further contributing to knots and tangles. Dry Hair Dry hair is more prone to matting due to its lack of moisture and increased fragility. When the hair lacks sufficient hydration, the cuticles become rough and raised, making it easier for individual strands to interlock and form knots. Improper Washing Techniques Your hair-washing routine can play a role in hair matting, too. For example, vigorous scrubbing or rubbing, or using harsh products can strip the hair of its natural oils, leaving it prone to dryness and tangles. It’s also important to rinse the hair thoroughly after shampooing to prevent residue buildup. Product buildup can contribute to knots, tangles, and matting, as well as a dull appearance and lack of manageability. Sleeping without Protecting Your Hair Sleeping with loose hair is a leading cause of tangles and matting. As you toss and turn in your sleep, your hair rubs against the pillowcase, leading to friction and knots. Securing your hair and using a satin or silk pillowcase reduces friction and helps maintain the hair’s smoothness.  Hair Extensions and Wigs Hair extensions and wigs offer a convenient way to change up your hairstyle, but they can also contribute to matting if not properly cared for. Improper installation, neglecting to detangle regularly, or using low-quality extensions can lead to matted hair. Be sure to follow the care instructions recommended for your specific product. How to Detangle Matted Hair Painlessly without Cutting Dealing with matted hair can be challenging, but with the right tools and techniques, you can detangle severe mats without causing unnecessary pain or damage to your hair. Here’s how to detangle matted hair painlessly without cutting. Step 1: Start with Patience and Preparation Detangling matted hair requires time, patience, and the right products and tools. Before you begin, gather a detangling brush, a wide-toothed comb, a leave-in conditioning spray, and some clips to section your hair. It’s important to work through the tangles gently and avoid rushing the process to avoid unnecessary damage. Step 2: Apply a Leave-In Conditioner To ease the detangling process, saturate the hair with a leave-in conditioner and detangling product. Our Honey-Infused Leave-In Conditioner helps to soften the hair, reduce friction, and make the knots more manageable. Allow the product to sit on your for several minutes before you begin the detangling process for better penetration and loosening of the tangles.  Step 3: Divide and Conquer Divide your hair into manageable sections using the hair clips. You’ll want to focus on detangling one section at a time to prevent further tangling and make the process more systematic. Start with the ends and outermost layers of your hair, and gradually work your way upward and inwards. Step 4: Gently Detangle the Hair Begin by gently using your fingers to loosen the tangles in each section. Finger detangling can be especially helpful because it allows you to carefully separate the strands and offers more control, reducing the risk of pain or damage to fragile strands. Once the knot is loosened, you can use a detangling brush and a wide-toothed comb to complete the detangling process and work your way through each section. If you encounter a particularly stubborn area, hold the hair above the knot with one hand and gently tease the knot apart, adding more leave-in conditioner as needed to reduce friction and allow the strands to glide more easily. Step 5: Seek Professional Help if Needed If you’re dealing with severe or persistent matting that seems difficult to handle on your own, consider seeking professional help. A skilled hairstylist can assess the condition of your hair and offer professional detangling services. They often have specialized tools and techniques to safely and effectively address even the most challenging cases of matted hair. Restoring Vitality to Previously Matted Hair After successfully detangling matted hair, it’s time to focus on restoring its vitality and promoting overall hair health. Matted hair is often accompanied by dryness, breakage, and a lackluster appearance.  With the right care and attention, you can revive your hair and bring back its natural shine and beauty. Here are some effective strategies for restoring vitality to previously matted hair. Deep Conditioning Treatments One of the best ways to restore moisture to your hair is through regular deep conditioning treatments. Our Honey-Infused Hair Mask is specifically formulated to repair, strengthen, and deeply hydrate the hair. Apply the deep conditioning hair mask generously to your hair, focusing on the lengths and ends, and leave it on for at least 10 minutes, up to overnight. Rinse thoroughly and follow up with your regular conditioner to close the hair shaft and seal in moisture. Moisturize Regularly To combat dryness and prevent breakage, make moisturizing a regular part of your hair care routine. Use our Honey-Infused Leave-In Conditioner and Honey-Infused Hair Oil to hydrate your hair daily, focusing on areas that tend to be drier and more prone to breakage. Trim Split Ends Matted hair is often accompanied by split ends, which can hinder the overall health and appearance of your hair. Schedule regular maintenance trims to remove split ends and prevent them from traveling up the hair shaft. Trimming your hair every 6-8 weeks helps maintain the integrity of your hair, promotes growth, and minimizes the risk of future matting. Gentle Styling Practices Avoid hairstyles that put excessive strain on your hair or cause unnecessary friction, as these can contribute to further damage. Opt for loose, protective styles that minimize tension and rubbing. When using heat styling tools, always apply a heat-protecting spray and use satin or silk hair accessories to help reduce friction and maintain the smoothness of your hair. Avoid Overwashing Excessive washing can strip your hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and increased susceptibility to tangles. Opt for a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and reduce the frequency of washing to two or three times per week if possible. Our Honey-Infused Shampoo and Conditioner are ideal for hydrating and repairing all hair types. Protect Your Hair While Sleeping To prevent future damage or matting, protect your hair while you sleep. Use a silk or satin bonnet, scarf, or pillowcase to reduce friction and preserve the smoothness of your hair. You can also loosely braid or twist your hair into a high bun before bed to further minimize friction and tangles.  How to Prevent Matted Hair Prevention is key when it comes to avoiding the frustration and hassle of dealing with matted hair. Start with a healthy hair care routine and make a habit of detangling your hair daily using a leave-in conditioner and wide-toothed comb to minimize damage and make the process easier. Continue to moisturize and hydrate your hair daily with leave-in conditioner and hair oil, and a weekly deeply conditioning hair mask. Use a gentle shampoo and hydrating conditioner, and be sure to rinse your hair thoroughly to prevent product build-up. Consider switching to satin or silk hair accessories and pillowcases permanently to minimize friction. Avoid excessive heat styling, and always use a heat protectant before blow drying, curling, or straightening to minimize potential damage. And finally, schedule regular trims with your stylist to prevent split ends and maintain the health of your hair. Following a preventive haircare routine can significantly reduce the likelihood of experiencing matted hair. Final Thoughts By embracing healthy haircare and styling practices, and incorporating gentle detangling techniques, you can save yourself the frustration and discomfort of dealing with stubborn knots and mats. Our line of Honey-Infused Hair Care products is formulated to rebuild and repair the hair, resulting in softer, stronger, and shinier locks that resist knots and tangles.

With the rise of radiant skin as the new "it" look, face oil earned its rightful place as a skincare essential. But the idea of using it as a makeup primer is a recent trend in the beauty scene. Can you really use facial oil before makeup? If you're someone who loves makeup, you know that using primer is the key to achieving a flawless and even foundation application that stays put throughout the day. It turns out face oil can double as an exceptional primer, paving the way for a truly stunning makeup look. Let’s explore the benefits of using face oil as a primer before makeup, how to apply it correctly, and why it’s a game changer for achieving that airbrushed, glowing finish you’ve always wanted. Can I Use Facial Oil Before Makeup? You absolutely can use facial oil before makeup! Plant-based facial oils blend seamlessly into the skin, eliminating dry, flaky patches so your makeup goes on smoothly. If you’re into that glow-from-within look, using facial oil under your foundation provides just the boost of hydration and nourishment you need for a flawless, natural glow.  Can I Use Facial Oil Instead of a Primer? So, can you use facial oil instead of primer? The answer is a resounding yes! Facial oil is highly effective when used in place of primer. Applying a face oil as a primer provides a plumper, smoother, more hydrated base for a flawless, even foundation application that lasts all day. Benefits of Using Facial Oil Before Makeup When it comes to prepping your skin for makeup, the use of face oil as a primer may come as a pleasant surprise. Face oil offers a range of benefits that go beyond its traditional role as the last step in your skincare routine. Here’s why face oil is a game changer for achieving a truly radiant and long-lasting makeup look. Hydration and Nourishment When applied before makeup, facial oils help to keep the skin hydrated throughout the day. This is especially important if your skin is dry, irritated, or flaky. It’s also a highly effective technique to use in the winter when cold, dry air can leave the skin dull and dehydrated. But applying the right facial oil before makeup can be beneficial for oily skin, too, because facial oil helps to balance sebum production and keeps the skin from overproducing oil as you go about your day. Facial oils are also full of beneficial ingredients, like antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, that nourish and protect the skin. Using face oil before makeup supports skin health throughout the day and helps to protect against environmental damage. Gives the Skin a Healthy Glow There’s something undeniably beautiful about a healthy, lit-from-within glow. If you’ve been yearning to master that luminous, dewy look, incorporating face oil as a primer in your makeup routine might just be the key. Not only does facial oil deliver a potent dose of skin-loving nutrients, but it also replenishes and revitalizes the skin, resulting in a naturally radiant complexion. It creates a soft-focus effect that blurs imperfections by reflecting the light and adds a natural luminosity to the skin. Face oil also imparts a soft dewy sheen to the skin, giving it a healthy, youthful appearance that shines through your makeup. And, if your skin is looking a bit dull and tired, applying facial oil before makeup can help to brighten up your complexion. It’s a great alternative to illuminating primers, which can sometimes look shimmery or glittery. Prolonging Makeup Wear When it comes to makeup longevity, we often seek out products that promise all-day wear. Using face oil as primer can prolong makeup wear in several ways.  First, face oil provides a nourishing barrier that locks in moisture throughout the day. Hydrated skin is less likely to develop the cakey appearance that can occur as makeup begins to cling to dehydrated skin areas.  Facial oil also fills in the lines, blurs imperfections, and minimizes the appearance of pores. This smoother surface allows your foundation and other makeup products to glide on effortlessly, ensuring a more even and long-lasting application. Face oil also has a unique texture that helps enhance the adherence of foundation to the skin. It creates a velvety, moist surface that allows your makeup to grip the skin more effectively. This reduces the likelihood of smudging, creasing, or fading throughout the day. Achieving a Flawless Finish If you’re tired of dealing with uneven skin texture, fine lines, and visible pores, using oil on your face before makeup could be the answer. Facial oils that are lightweight quickly absorb into the skin without leaving any oily residue.  They’re not as thick as many makeup primers, which can sometimes be difficult to distribute evenly on the skin and may appear heavy or cakey on the skin’s surface. Lightweight facial oils help to create a smooth, flawless base for foundation by plumping up fine lines and reducing the appearance of pores. Facial oils also soften the skin to give it a more youthful appearance. Suitable for Sensitive Skin Many primers have a silicone formula, which is meant to create a smooth base for makeup. But silicone can also clog pores and cause irritation, leading to breakouts and inflammation. If you have sensitive skin, a lightweight facial oil made from natural ingredients may be the better choice. How to Use Face Oil as a Primer The secret to success with face oil as a primer in your makeup routine is to allow plenty of time for each product to absorb into the skin before moving on to the next step. In this section, we’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of applying facial oil as a primer. Step 1: Cleanse, Exfoliate, and Moisturize Starting with a clean, exfoliated face will help your makeup go on smoothly and last longer throughout the day. Applying a moisturizer that’s suitable for your skin type is also important for adding hydrating and plumping up the skin.  If your skin doesn’t need a heavy moisturizer, opt for an oil-free formula. If possible, choose a moisturizer with built-in SPF to avoid layering too many products, which can cause your makeup to look cakey or patchy. Step 2: Apply the Face Oil Give your moisturizer a minute or two to absorb into the skin, then apply a few drops of your face oil into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together, and then pat the oil gently into your face. Focus on the areas that are especially dry, and keep the application lighter on areas that tend to get oily as the day goes on, such as your forehead, nose, and chin. Give the oil a few minutes to absorb into your skin before applying your foundation.     Step 3: Apply Makeup After your facial oil has been absorbed into the skin, apply your foundation and other cream products, such as concealer. Then apply your powder products, set everything in place with a light dusting of loose powder, and you’re out the door. Choosing The Best Facial Oil to Use as a Primer There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a face oil to use as a primer. Absorption and texture are key. A lightweight, fast-absorbing oil works best under makeup because it ensures a smooth application without leaving a heavy or greasy residue. It’s also important to choose an oil with nourishing and hydrating properties. Seek oils that are rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins. Oils that are known for their replenishing and skin-conditioning properties help to create a smooth and supple canvas for makeup application.  Gisou Honey Infused Facial Oil is made from 95.7% cold-pressed botanical oils that are rich in skin-loving nutrients. It contains safflower and macadamia oils to hydrate and rejuvenate the complexion, as well as grapeseed to even out the skin tone. Evening primrose and rosehip oils reinforce the skin barrier and protect against free radicals, while jojoba balances the skin and helps to regulate oil production. Our facial oil is a lightweight, fast-absorbing oil that smoothes out the skin’s texture and blurs imperfections.

The pursuit of flawless and radiant skin has always been a top priority in the world of beauty. Recently, a trend known as "glass skin" has taken the skincare community by storm. This trend refers to achieving a complexion so smooth, hydrated, and luminous that it appears as clear and translucent as glass. If you've been wondering how to attain this enviable skin texture, you're in luck! We will explore the secrets to achieving glass skin and reveal the steps to incorporate into your skincare routine for a truly radiant complexion. Step 1: Double Cleansing The foundation of any skincare routine, double cleansing, is crucial for achieving glass skin. Begin with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and excess sebum, followed by a gentle water-based cleanser to deep clean your skin without stripping away essential moisture. Step 2: Exfoliation Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and impurities, revealing a fresher, smoother complexion. Opt for a chemical exfoliant containing AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) or BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids) to promote cell turnover and unclog pores gently. Be cautious not to over-exfoliate, as it can lead to skin irritation, and be sure to use SPF during the day as exfoliation can make your skin more sensitive!  Step 3: Hydration, Hydration, Hydration To achieve glass skin, hydrating your skin is of utmost importance. Incorporate a hydrating toner into your routine to provide an extra layer of moisture. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera, which help to replenish and lock in moisture, resulting in a plump and dewy complexion. Step 4: Essence and Serums Essences and serums are concentrated formulas that target specific skin concerns and boost hydration. Choose products rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and ingredients like niacinamide or snail mucin that promote skin repair and brightening effects. Pat these products gently into your skin for better absorption. Step 5: Moisturize A lightweight, yet nourishing moisturizer is essential to seal in all the hydration and create a protective barrier for your skin. Look for products that contain ceramides, humectants, and natural oils to deeply hydrate and retain moisture. Consider using a sleeping mask or night cream for intense overnight hydration. Step 6: Face oils Incorporating a face oil into your glass skin routine can provide an extra boost of hydration and nourishment, helping you achieve that coveted smooth and radiant complexion. Our Honey Infused Face Oil is an antioxidant powerhouse, perfect for brightening your complexion and giving your skin the perfect moisture boost to finish your routine. Honey is amazing for your skin due to its ability to attract and retain moisture, giving your skin a beautiful honey glow. How to use Face Oil for glass skin Here's how you can include our Face oil in your glass skin routine: Gently warm a few drops of the Honey Infused Face Oil between your palms by rubbing them together. This step helps to enhance absorption and spread the oil evenly across your face. You have two options for applying the face oil: patting or massaging it into your skin. For the patting method, gently press the oil onto your face using your fingertips, focusing on areas that require extra hydration. Alternatively, you can massage the oil into your skin using upward circular motions, which not only helps with absorption but also promotes circulation and a healthy glow. Incorporating facial massages into your skincare routine can elevate the glass skin effect. Gently massage your face in upward motions to improve blood circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, and enhance the absorption of skincare products.   Step 7: Sun Protection Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial in maintaining a youthful and glass-like complexion. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days. Sunscreen shields your skin from sun damage, prevents pigmentation, and maintains the overall health of your skin. Step 8: Subtle Honey Glow Dab the Honey Infused Beauty Balm onto your cheekbones, bridge of your nose, and collarbones as a nourishing alternative to a highlighter. This product is bursting with nourishing and brightening ingredients such as turmeric, our Bee Garden Oil Blend, and the Mirsalehi Honey, and will give your skin a subtle reflective glow.  Step 9: Healthy Lifestyle Habits Remember, achieving glass skin isn't solely about skincare products. A healthy lifestyle plays a significant role in the appearance of your skin. Get enough sleep, stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and manage stress levels. These habits will contribute to your overall skin health and radiance. Wrapping up The quest for glass skin may seem daunting at first, but with consistency and the right skincare routine, it is within your reach. By adopting a holistic approach that includes proper cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and sun protection, you can unlock the secrets to smooth, hydrated, and radiant skin. Remember, everyone's skin is unique, so it may take some experimentation to find the perfect combination of products that works for you.

Imagine a centuries-old secret to luscious locks, passed down through generations like a treasured heirloom. That’s what hair oiling is all about. It’s a tried-and-true method that pampers your strands, making them strong, healthy, and oh-so-gorgeous! Oiling your hair is like giving your hair a luxurious spa experience right at home. Let’s delve into the wonders of applying nourishing botanical oils to your scalp and strands, unlocking a world of benefits you might not even know to exist! Is Oiling Good for Your Hair? Absolutely! Oiling can be beneficial for your hair in several ways. It helps nourish and moisturize the scalp, which can promote healthier hair growth and reduce dryness. The natural botanical oils used also contain essential nutrients that can strengthen the hair shaft, prevent breakage, and add shine. Regular hair oiling, combined with gentle massage, can also improve blood and oxygen flow to the scalp, further promoting hair health.  The Science Behind Hair Oiling Sebum is a natural oil that is produced from the sebaceous glands in our scalp that helps maintain our hair health. Sebum is meant to help by moisturizing and lubricating hair as a natural conditioner. But when it’s not produced in balanced amounts, hair feels extra greasy or super dry and flaky. This is where hair oiling can be helpful. A quality hair oil will mimic the effects that natural sebum provides. Because we all produce sebum, hair oiling works for all hair types. When you coat the strands, it seals in the moisture instead of having it evaporate. This properly nourishes the hair deep within the strands and scalp.  Benefits of Oiling Your Hair Oiling your hair has so many benefits it is hard to imagine who wouldn't want to try it! Hydrating and Nourishing the Hair One of the main benefits of hair oiling is the amount of moisture and hydration your hair gets. When applying hair oil, the product will form a protective barrier around the hair shaft. By sealing it in, the hair won’t lose any moisture due to evaporation. This also locks in important nutrients that the oil provides the hair.  Stimulating Hair Growth When you massage the hair oil into your scalp, not only are you letting the nutrients soak in, but you are also stimulating hair growth. The scalp massage promotes blood circulation that goes to the hair roots. This causes regeneration and growth while strengthening the hair strands.  Strengthening Hair Strands When the nutrients of hair oil coat the strands, they protect the hair from breaking off. Furthermore, when the strands that are growing from the top of the scalp are moisturized and full of nutrients from the beginning, they come out strong.  Managing Split Ends and Breakage Strong hair and hair growth come from managing your split ends and preventing breakage. When the strands are coated at the bottom, they are less likely to have breakage. A quality hair oil will impact all three layers of the hair strand, strengthening it from the inside out.  Improved Scalp Health and Reduced Dandruff It may feel counterintuitive to apply oil to a scalp that is dealing with dandruff. Some people have the misconception that you are adding more debris up there. But a healthy and hydrated scalp will reduce flaking and promote positive roots.  Protecting Hair from Environmental Damage The environment plays a big role in our hair. The wind, low humidity, and evaporation all lead to moisture loss. The sun and UVs also dry out our hair. Hair oiling offers a protective barrier from environmental factors that can dry it out.  Best Practices for Oiling Your Hair Here are some best practices for oiling your hair to help you get the best results. How Often to Oil Your Hair It may take a little experimentation to figure out what is best suited for your hair type and scalp condition.  Hair that is dry and brittle may want to consider using hair oil two to three times a week.  If you have normal to oily hair, you can use it once a week or every other week.  Dry and itchy scalps also lean towards two to three times a week for hair oiling.  Seasons may change the need for less or more hair oil. Dry and colder months may require a little more, whereas humid weather can do with a little less.    It’s also important to evaluate how well your hair absorbs oil. If you feel like it loses moisture quickly, you may want to up the frequency.  How Long to Leave the Oil in Your Hair This answer varies greatly depending on what you are trying to accomplish. Sometimes it is used as an after-wash treatment, while others use it as an overnight hair treatment. Hair oil can also be used as a leave-in solution or just as a hair mask.  The more hydration you need, the more likely you are to leave it in for longer times. Since hair and scalp conditions change during the year, the type of treatment you may use will change with it.  The Best Time to Oil Your Hair There are a few times when oiling your hair works particularly well. At night when you can wear a nightcap and leave it on for a full condition. This is the best way to lock in moisture.  Pre-wash. You can use it as a quick treatment for a few hours before washing out the oil.  As a leave-in before you go to style your hair. The right amount of hair oil can keep things in place.  Proper Application Technique The application of hair oil is one of the most important parts to ensure all parts of your hair are covered, including the scalp. With just a few drops (more or less depending on needs) rub the oil in your palms to warm it up.  Start by gently massaging the hair oil into your scalp. Starting at the top and working your way down is the best technique. By massaging in gentle circular motions, you stimulate the hair follicles and apply the oil to the scalp and roots.  Work your way down to the ends of the hair in sections to ensure each part of the hair has been worked through. Continue to gently comb through your hair with your fingers until all areas are touched. Leave in to let the hair strands absorb properly.  The Best Hair Oils for Oiling Your Hair Quality ingredients matter! Here are a few that are difference makers. Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil contains a perfect blend of the following making it an awesome choice for all hair types.  Sweet Almond Oil Rich in vitamins A, B, D, and E as well as potent minerals like magnesium, zinc, iron, and calcium. Sweet almond oil also has plenty of fatty acids that penetrate the hair shaft leaving it protected and hydrated.  Coconut Oil This natural emollient is full of lauric acid, among others, that helps to prevent important protein loss, deep conditions, tames frizz, and adds a layer of shine. Argan Oil This is another natural emollient that helps lock in moisture.  Passionflower Seed Oil This oil is rich in omega-6 along with other fatty acids that moisturize and condition hair that is dry.  Mirsalehi Honey Our sustainably sourced honey is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants to protect and repair hair from damage. It perfectly complements the powerful oils in our Hair Oil.  FAQs About Hair Oiling Benefits Does Hair Oiling Cause Hair Fall? Just the opposite! When done correctly with quality ingredients, hair oiling will promote healthy hair growth. Hair loss may occur with poor products.  Does Oiling Your Hair Make It Feel Greasy? It shouldn’t. When you use a quality ingredient and apply the right amount, it won’t feel greasy. Applying the wrong oil, too much oil, or using it too frequently could lead to greasy hair. If oiling your hair makes it feel greasy, it’s worth oiling your hair as a pre-wash treatment so you can remove excess oil with a gentle shampoo. Should You Apply Oil to Wet or Dry Hair? Hair oil can be applied to wet or dry hair. When applied to wet hair, it locks in moisture and works much like an intensive treatment to provide deep nourishment and hydration. Hair oil is often applied to dry hair as the last step in your styling routine to add moisture, prevent frizz, amp up the shine, and prevent breakage. A Path To Healthy and Happy Hair Hair oiling is a time-tested tradition that provides clear benefits, such as nourishing your hair with essential vitamins and minerals. When your hair strands and scalp retain these ingredients, you are left with protected, strong hair that shines and grows.  Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil is the perfect hair oil solution for all hair types. It contains high-quality ingredients thoughtfully blended for the ultimate hair treatment or quick solution for any hairstyle. Tame the frizz, grow your hair, and keep it happy and healthy! 

We all want beautiful hair. Thankfully, from shampoo to conditioner, there are countless products available to give us the luscious locks of our dreams! But when it comes to choosing between hair oil vs leave-in conditioner, we’re often left scratching our heads. How do the two products compare, and which one is best for you? Should you use both, and which one comes first? Whether you’re a hair care novice or an expert, here’s what to know about leave-in conditioner vs hair oil and how to make the best decisions for your hair type. What’s the Main Difference Between Hair Oil vs Leave-In Conditioner? Hair oil and leave-in conditioner are two essential hair care products that both help to nourish and protect your hair, but what sets them apart from each other? The main difference is that hair oil is an oil-based product, while a leave-in conditioner is typically water-based. What is Hair Oil + What is it Used For? Hair oil is made from natural oils that are extracted from various plants and seeds, such as coconut, argan, and sweet almond oils. Hair oil is used to add smoothness, nourishment, and moisture to the hair, promoting shine, manageability, and overall hair health. One of the main benefits of hair oil is that it helps to prevent split ends and breakage. When applied to the hair, the oil penetrates the hair shaft and helps to strengthen the hair from within. This makes the hair more elastic and less prone to breakage and frizz. In addition to its nourishing properties for the hair, hair oil can also promote the health of your scalp. The natural oils used in hair oil are known for their moisturizing and regenerative properties, which can help to soothe a dry or itchy scalp. Massaging hair oil into the scalp also improves blood circulation, which may promote healthy hair growth. What is Leave-In Conditioner + What is it Used for? Leave-in conditioner is formulated to be left in your hair, rather than being rinsed out like regular conditioners. Leave-in conditioners are typically formulated with a combination of nourishing and strengthening ingredients, such as botanical oils and extracts, vitamins, proteins, and more. One of the main benefits of using a leave-in conditioner is that it helps to detangle the hair without causing breakage. It also promotes manageability and makes the hair easier to style. The ingredients in leave-in conditioner help to smooth the cuticle of the hair and reduce friction between the individual strands, making them less likely to tangle. Leave-in conditioners are also formulated to add moisture and hydration to the hair without weighing it down. This is particularly important for those with dry or damaged hair, as it helps to restore the hair’s natural moisture balance and elasticity. Leave-in conditioner is also a great product for those who want to protect their hair from the damaging effects of heat styling or harsh elements. By using leave-in conditioner in combination with a heat protectant, you can help minimize potential damage from the sun, blow drying, curling, or straightening your hair and keep your locks looking hydrated and healthy.  Comparing Leave-In Conditioner vs Hair Oil Still not sure if leave-in conditioner or hair oil is the best choice for your hair type? Let’s take a closer look at how these essential hair care products stack up against each other. Main Ingredients Hair oil is typically made primarily from natural oils, such as coconut oil and argan oil, while leave-in conditioner contains a combination of ingredients, including proteins and nourishing botanical extracts. However, both products can include regenerative ingredients like honey, which offers numerous benefits for the hair. Texture and Formulation Hair oil is typically lightweight and non-greasy, with a slippery texture. On the other hand, leave-in conditioner comes in a variety of textures and formulations, including lotions and creams, with spray-in leave-in conditioners being the most versatile for all hair types. Method of Application Hair oil is typically applied as the last step in your styling routine to promote shine and smoothness, but it can also be used as a regenerative treatment before shampooing. Leave-in conditioner is applied to damp hair after shampooing and conditioning to add moisture and ease the detangling process, or it can be applied to dry hair to refresh your style between wash days. Primary Purpose Hair oil is primarily used to nourish and strengthen the hair, while leave-in conditioner is used to hydrate, detangle, and protect the hair. That being said, both products offer moisturization and hydration, as well as beneficial ingredients that promote overall hair health.   View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gisou (@gisou)   Should You Use Leave-In Conditioner or Hair Oil? Deciding between leave-in conditioner and hair oil may seem like a tough choice, but there’s a place for both products in every hair care routine. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of each product to help you make the best choice for your hair type and goals. Who Should Use Hair Oil? Hair oil is an excellent choice for those with dry or damaged hair, as well as those with curly or coily textures. It helps provide deep nourishment, elasticity, and smoothness to the hair, leaving it shiny, healthy, and more resilient to damage.  Who Should Use Leave-In Conditioner? Leave-in conditioner is a great option for anyone looking to detangle, moisturize, and protect their hair. It can be particularly beneficial for those with fine or thin hair, as it’s typically lightweight and won’t weigh down the hair. If you’re someone who frequently styles your hair with heat, leave-in conditioner can help to protect your hair from heat damage. The Benefits of Using Hair Oil and Leave-In Conditioner Together While hair oil and leave-in conditioner are great products to use separately, there’s no reason to use only one over the other! There are several reasons to incorporate both products into your hair care routine. Increased Moisture Both hair oil and leave-in conditioner provide moisture to the hair, and using them together can increase the level of hydration even further. This is especially beneficial for dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair, as it can help restore elasticity and prevent breakage. Increased Shine Hair oil is an amazing choice for adding shine to the hair, and when combined with leave-in conditioner, the result is even more lustrous locks. The natural oils in hair help smooth the hair cuticle, while the proteins and vitamins in leave-in conditioner promote healthy shine. Better Manageability Using hair oil and leave-in conditioner together is a smart way to improve hair manageability. The moisturizing properties of both products help to prevent tangles and knots while smoothing the hair cuticle,  making it easier to style and maintain your hair. Protection from Damage Both hair oil and leave-in conditioner can help to protect hair from damage, but using them together provides even greater protection. Both products can work together to protect the hair against heat and environmental damage while helping to strengthen the hair and prevent breakage.  What Goes First, Hair Oil or Leave-In Conditioner? Knowing the proper order to apply hair oil and leave-in conditioner can help you get the most out of both products. Typically, leave-in conditioner is applied first, followed by hair oil, to help seal the hair shaft and prevent moisture loss as you go about your day. Can Hair Oil Replace Leave-In Conditioner? While hair oil and leave-in conditioner share some similarities in terms of their benefits, they are not interchangeable products. Hair oil cannot replace leave-in conditioner, and vice versa.  While hair oil seals in moisture, the leave-in conditioner provides intense hydration. In addition, leave-in conditioner is formulated to help detangle the hair, while hair oil really shines at smoothing the hair cuticle and preventing future tangles.   What is the Best Hair Oil? When it comes to choosing the best hair oil, look for one that’s formulated from natural and nourishing ingredients. Opt for a lightweight hair oil that won’t weigh your hair down or leave a greasy residue, like Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil. Our hair oil gets its moisturizing and regenerative properties from botanical oils and honey sourced from the Mirsalehi Bee Garden. The almond and coconut oils also work together to strengthen and protect the hair from damage, while adding radiant shine, softness, and manageability.    What is the Best Leave-In Conditioner? Choose a leave-in conditioner that is formulated to address your specific hair concerns, whether that be hydration, frizz control, or damage repair. A lightweight, spray-in formula that won’t weigh your hair down is the best choice for most hair types because it’s easy to distribute evenly throughout the hair. Gisou Honey Infused Leave-In Conditioner ticks all of these boxes and is made with a unique blend of nourishing and natural ingredients, including Mirsalehi Honey, baobab extract, and panthenol, which work together to deeply hydrate and strengthen the hair. It’s lightweight, spray in formula is perfect for all hair types. Wrapping It Up Both hair oil and leave-in conditioner are essential products for maintaining healthy and beautiful locks. While hair oil deeply nourishes and seals in moisture, leave-in conditioner hydrates the hair and improves manageability.  When used together, the products complement each other to provide even greater benefits. The combination will deeply nourish and hydrate the hair, while also taming frizz, adding shine, and protecting the hair against environmental stressors. If you’re in the market for a high-quality hair oil or leave-in conditioner, be sure to check out Gisou Honey and Propolis Infused Hair Care, infused with the nourishing ingredients from the Mirsalehi Bee Garden. In the end, achieving the hair of your dreams is all about finding the right products and techniques that work for you!

In this ultimate Summer Repair Guide, we'll take you through each step to repair and protect your hair, so you can rock beachy waves with confidence all season long. Step 1: Trim your hair to prepare for summer bliss Start your summer fresh by trimming those split ends. A quick visit to your trusted stylist at the start of the season will not only revitalize your hair but also promote healthy growth, leaving you with luscious locks that are ready to withstand the summer heat. Getting rid of split ends promotes healthy hair growth. By getting rid of those split ends, you not only prevent further damage from traveling up the hair shaft but also ensure that your hair looks and feels its best. This is particularly important during the summer months when our hair is exposed to various environmental stressors  such as UV rays, humidity, and chlorine from swimming pools. Step 2: Shield your hair from the sun's damaging UV rays Prevention is key! Find a cute hat or stylish scarf to shield your hair and scalp from harmful UV rays. Not only will you look fabulous, but you'll also protect your tresses from sun damage and retain essential moisture. You can also protect your hair from the sun with UV protection products, such as our Propolis Infused Heat Protecting Spray for high protection against heat and UV rays. Step 3: Minimize chlorine damage Rinse before diving in! Give your hair a pre-swim rinse with clean water. This saturates your strands, reducing the absorption of chlorinated or saltwater that can wreak havoc on your mane. Create a protective shield with our holy grail product, the Honey Infused Leave-in Conditioner or Hair Oil. These gems work wonders by creating a barrier against chlorine or saltwater, leaving your hair healthier and happier. Step 4: Hydrate and moisturize for luscious locks Treat your hair to some tender loving care with a weekly deep conditioning treatment   as part of your hair repair routine. Our Honey Infused Hair Mask is your secret weapon.

Enriched with Mirsalehi Honey, Panthenol, Coconut Oil, and Sweet Almond Oil, this lightweight conditioner nourishes and detangles your locks, leaving them hydrated, manageable, and strong. Step 5: Gentle cleansing and styling Opt for a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo like our Honey Infused Hair Wash Honey Infused Hair Wash. Say goodbye to product buildup, chlorine residue, and salt grime. This ultra-hydrating formula repairs and prevents further damage, keeping your hair healthy and fresh. Embrace your natural beauty by air-drying your locks whenever possible. Put those heat tools aside and let your hair breathe, reducing the risk of further damage. To enhance your natural curls or waves, our Propolis Infused Polishing Primer or Texturising Wave Spray  is your go-to. These products add volume, body, and tame frizz for effortless summer styling. Step 6: Rock protective hairstyles  Play around with protective hairstyle  like braids, buns, or updos. Not only do they shield your hair from the sun, but they also minimize tangles and breakage. Give the slicked-back bun a try with our Propolis Infused Polishing Primer. It's the perfect finishing touch for a clean, polished look. Remember, be gentle when styling wet hair to avoid unnecessary damage. Embrace those beachy waves and let them flow! Step 7: Nourish from within Stay hydrated! Water is your best friend when it comes to maintaining healthy hair and scalp. Drink up and keep those locks looking luscious. A balanced diet is also key to keeping your hair looking its best. Load up on fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and healthy fats. These superfoods provide the essential vitamins and minerals your hair needs to thrive.

Curtain bangs are a trendy and versatile hairstyle that can transform your look. But with great bangs comes great responsibility - you need to keep them looking fresh and styled. In this blog, we'll show you how to style and maintain your curtain bangs. Styling Curtain Bangs Styling curtain bangs can be tricky, but with the right tools and products, it's easy to achieve a flawless look that’ll last all day. Here are the steps to follow: 1. Wash and condition When your hair is clean, it's more pliable and easier to manipulate into the style you want. It also holds styles better and longer than dirty hair. Start by washing your hair with Honey Infused Hair Wash. Not only does it gently and effectively cleanse and remove build-up, but it also leaves hair glossy, soft, and smooth, prevents frizz, reduces damage and split ends, and delivers deep hydration without weighing hair down.  Then, follow up with Honey Infused Conditioner enriched with Mirsalehi Honey from the Mirsalehi Bee Garden, formulated to effectively yet gently detangle and condition hair, leaving it hydrated, manageable, and strong. This will help to nourish and hydrate your hair, making it easier to style. 2. Apply primer and heat protectant Apply a small amount of Gisou Propolis Infused Polishing Primer to your bangs (a little goes a long way). The lightweight styling primer prepares hair for your styling routine. It prevents and diminishes frizz, reduces drying time, and ensures optimal workable hold while using heated styling tools. This will help the bangs to hold for a longer time. To protect the hair and minimize any damage to your fresh curtain bangs, don’t forget to use Propolis Infused Heat Protecting Spray. Propolis is produced and used by bees to build strong beehives and it’s our key ingredient to prevent breakage and split ends while enhancing hair texture, volume, and definition. 3. Blow dry your bangs in 3 easy steps First of all, separate your curtain bangs from the rest of your hair by sectioning it off. Use clips to keep the rest of your hair out of the way. This way it will be easier for you to blow dry your bangs, especially if you are doing it for the first time.  Using a round brush, start by blow drying the roots of your bangs. Place the brush under your bangs and pull the hair forward, away from your face. Use the blow dryer to direct the heat at the roots, lifting up to add volume.  Continue to blow dry your bangs, working your way down from the roots to the ends. Use the round brush to gently pull the hair forward and down, following the curve of your face.  Once your bangs are dry, use the cool setting on your blow dryer to set the style and add shine. This will also help to minimize frizz and static. Remember to be gentle when blow drying your curtain bangs, as wet hair is more fragile than dry hair. Use a low-heat setting on your blow dryer and a round brush with flexible bristles to avoid pulling or tugging on your hair 4. Hydrate  Finish your look by applying a small amount of Honey Infused Hair Oil to your curtain bangs. Apply 2-3 drops into your palms and rub your hands together until the product is dispersed throughout your palms and fingers. Then, use your fingers in a combing motion to evenly distribute the product from mid-lengths to ends. This will add shine and help to tame any flyaways. Extra tip: Trim Your Bangs Regularly Trimming your bangs regularly will help to keep them looking fresh and styled. Aim to trim your bangs every 4-6 weeks to prevent them from getting too long and losing their shape.

With Summer just around the corner, it's time to embrace the sun-kissed days, beach outings, and outdoor adventures. However, as the temperature rises, so does the need to keep fresh and embrace a fragrance that perfectly captures the essence of Summer. That's why we're here to share our top tips and recommendations on how to smell fresh all Summer long. We’re sharing tips and tricks on how to make your scent last all day, no matter the heat. Discover the secrets to layering fragrances, choosing the perfect application spots, and maintaining a Summer glow while on the go. Choose your signature scent for Summer When Summer comes along, reach for lightweight, fresh, and vibrant fragrances. Our signature Honey Infused Fragrance ticks all of these boxes. All of our Honey Infused products contain our signature Honey Infused Fragrance. This fragrance can be described as a delicate, sweet scent of lush, dewy honey blending into a heart of spring florals inspired by the Mirsalehi Bee Garden whilst citrus notes of apricot and mandarin bring a playful twist to an incredibly nourishing and luxurious aroma. This is the perfect fresh, feminine fragrance for the Summer. By layering our products you can ensure you’ll smell like you’ve just left the Mirsalehi Bee Garden wherever you go. Layering fragrances for longevity Fragrance layering is a technique that allows you to enhance and extend the longevity of your favorite scent by incorporating it into different aspects of your beauty routine. By using products from the same fragrance family, such as skincare, haircare, and perfume, you can ensure your fragrance lingers throughout the day (even in hot Summer weather!). Boosting scent longevity with body care When it comes to fragrance layering, consistency is key. Begin with Gisou’s Honey Infused Body Oil as your base layer.  Unlike heavy lotions or creams, our body oil is incredibly lightweight and easily absorbed, making it ideal for hot and humid weather. This product will provide intense hydration, replenishing the skin's moisture barrier and preventing dryness and flakiness. Our ultra-nourishing formula is an antioxidant powerhouse rich in Omegas 3, 6 & 9 to deeply nourish, strengthen the skin’s surface, and provide long-lasting moisture, promoting a healthy Gisou glow.  An additional benefit is that moisturized and hydrated skin is better at retaining fragrances as compared to dry skin. This means that all of your perfumes and fresh fragrances will last longer during Summer if you apply them to moisturized skin. How to Use After bathing or showering, apply the Honey Infused Body Oil to damp skin, this will leave your skin feeling silky soft and hydrated, and provide a perfect base layer for any fragrance. Incorporating hair care into your fragrance profile Next, use our Honey Infused Hair Wash & Conditioner in your haircare routine, to infuse your locks with the same delightful aroma. This step not only enhances the overall fragrance experience but also leaves a subtle trail of scent as you move. Keeping your hair clean during the summer is important because hot weather can increase sweat and oil production. Hair Perfume Next, reach for our Honey Infused Hair Perfume. Enriched with the natural goodness of the Mirsalehi Honey from the Mirsalehi Bee Garden, this hair perfume not only refreshes and scents your hair but also offers a number of essential benefits for the Summer season Formulated with Gisou's signature fragrance, which beautifully captures the floral notes from the Mirsalehi Bee Garden, our Hair Perfume leaves behind an irresistible trail of aroma wherever you go.  One of the standout features of our Hair Perfume is its nourishing and hydrating properties, thanks to the inclusion of Mirsalehi Honey and Argan Oil. These precious ingredients work wonders by smoothing the hair, enhancing its shine, and taming frizz. So while you enjoy the Summer sun, your hair stays hydrated, frizz-free, and beautifully scented. The difference between hair perfume and traditional perfume Unlike traditional fragrances for the skin that contain high levels of ethyl alcohol, which can be drying to the hair and scalp, our Hair Perfume contains only a trace amount of alcohol, making it much safer for your hair. This means you can spritz it throughout your hair without worrying about any unwanted dryness or damage.  One of our favorite features of this product is that it contains a UV filter, meaning it will also keep your locks protected from the sun when you’re out and about! If you’ll be in the sun for an extended period of time - don’t forget to cover up. How to use: Simply divide your hair into layers and apply 1 to 3 sprays per layer, spraying from an arm's length distance to ensure even distribution. It can be used as the finishing touch to your hair care or styling routine or as a quick refresher throughout the day. The delicious scent of the Hair Perfume lingers all day long, ensuring that you stay fresh and beautifully fragranced, even on the hottest of Summer days. Perfume Finish up your fragrance layering with a regular perfume or eau de toilette. To compliment our Honey Infused Fragrance, opt for something with Floral or Citrus notes. The base notes of a fragrance are intensified in the warmest places of your body. For the most long-lasting results spritz the pulse points on your wrists, behind your knees (yes, really), onto your chest, and behind your ears. Extra tips to smell good all summer Stay fresh on the go Take our pocket-sized Honey Infused Hair Perfume with you wherever you go for a quick refresh whenever needed. We have also recently launched our Honey Infused Beauty Balm Travel Size, the perfect travel-sized alternative to the Honey Infused Beauty Balm. Use the beauty balm as a treatment product for any problem in dry areas such as your cuticles, knees, and elbows. You can also apply this ultra nourishing balm to your pulse points to give you a subtle Honey Infused aroma.  Wear breathable fabrics Your skin needs to breathe during the Summer and synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon, which are commonly used in Summery clothes, suffocate the skin and can leave you feeling sticky and sweaty (no thanks!). Stick to natural fabrics like cotton, linens, and silks as they absorb sweat, allowing the heat to escape from your body faster. Skincare and hygiene This may seem like an obvious one, but take your time to keep your hair, skin, and body clean and hydrated during the Summer months to help you feel and smell your freshest!  Keep your Fragrances Cool Store your cosmetic products in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. All of our Honey and Propolis Infused Products need to be stored this way for preservation. 

Do your lips get the attention they deserve? We often focus on skincare routines for the face and body, but our lips tend to get left out of the equation. Of course, our lips are just as important and can benefit from a little extra TLC. After all, they play a crucial role in our daily lives, from talking and eating to kissing and smiling. Let’s explore the best lip care routine for maintaining healthy, beautiful lips, as well as some helpful tips and tricks to keep your lips in top shape. From choosing the right lip care products to DIY lip care recipes, here’s how to take care of your lips all year round! Get to Know Your Lips By understanding the unique characteristics of our lips, we can better tailor our lip care routine to meet their specific needs. First, it’s important to know that the epidermis of our lips is much thinner than the skin on other parts of our body, which means it’s more sensitive and prone to dryness and chapping.  In addition, our lips don’t have oil glands, which makes it difficult for them to retain moisture on their own. The skin of our lips is also more delicate and doesn’t have hair follicles or sweat glands like regular skin. This means that our lips are more susceptible to irritation, dryness, and sun damage. Therefore, it’s important to use gentle products that won’t irritate the lips and be mindful of the environment and weather conditions that can affect them. With a little bit of knowledge and care, we can keep our lips healthy and beautiful. Easy Lip Care Routine for Healthy, Beautiful Lips Now that you understand why your lips need special care, let’s dive into the best lip care routine for healthy, beautiful lips. Step One: Exfoliate The first step in your lip care routine should be exfoliation. Exfoliating your lips removes dead skin cells and helps to smooth and soften your lips. You can purchase a lips scrub or create your own at home using ingredients like honey, sugar, and olive oil. To use a lip scrub, gently rub the scrub into your lips using circular motions, then rinse with warm water. Avoid exfoliating too often, as this can be irritating to the lips and lead to dryness. Most people will find that once or twice a week is ideal. Step Two: Hydrate and Nourish Hydrating and nourishing the lips should be a daily practice, especially after exfoliating or any time your lips will be exposed to harsh conditions. This is where our Honey Infused Lip Oil comes in! Our lip oil is a lightweight, non-greasy formula that hydrates and softens your lips while also providing nourishing ingredients like honey, grapeseed oil, and vitamin E. Unlike lip balm, which simply sits on the surface of your lips, lip oil penetrates deeply to provide long-lasting hydration. To apply, simply swipe a small amount onto your lips and let it absorb. Wear it alone or pair it with your favorite lip color!  Step Three: Apply an Overnight Lip Mask For extra nourishment, consider using an overnight lip mask. This is a leave-on treatment that helps to repair and hydrate your lips while you sleep. Our Honey-Infused Lip Oil makes an ideal overnight lip mask, or you can make your own using ingredients like honey and coconut oil. To use, simply apply a generous layer to your lips before bed and let it absorb overnight. In the morning, gently wipe away any excess with a tissue. How to Take Care of Your Lips In addition to following a good lip care routine, there are a few lifestyle habits that will help you keep your lips healthy and beautiful. Protect Your Lips Our lips are constantly exposed to the elements, which can lead to dryness, chapping, and sun damage. In the winter, cold temperatures, harsh wind, and dry air can cause our lips to become dry and cracked. In summer, the sun’s UV rays can cause sunburn and damage to our lips. To protect your lips from the environment, apply a hydrating and nourishing lip oil that contains antioxidants regularly. And, anytime you’ll be out in the sun, apply an SPF to protect against sun damage. Avoid Bad Habits There are certain habits that can be harmful to your lips, such as licking or biting them. When we lick our lips, we’re wetting them with saliva, which evaporates quickly and leaves the lips feeling even drier. Saliva is also full of enzymes that can be irritating to delicate lip skin, leaving it feeling dry and uncomfortable. Biting at the dead skin on the lips can lead to further irritation and damage. If you’re prone to these habits, try to break them by keeping your lips hydrated and finding other ways to distract yourself. It can also introduce bacteria to the lips, which can lead to further issues if there’s any open skin or your lips are cracked. Prioritize Hydration and Good Nutrition Just like the rest of our bodies, our lips need proper nutrition and hydration to stay healthy. Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to help keep your lips hydrated. And be sure to incorporate foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids, such as leafy greens, nuts, and olive oil, to support healthy skin and lips.  How to Choose Lip Care Products Choosing the right lip care products can make all the difference in the health and appearance of your lips. Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting lip care products. Natural Ingredients Look for lip care products made from natural ingredients, which are much more gentle and less likely to cause irritation. Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil is made from 99% natural ingredients, including the following: Mirsalehi Honey: Mirsalehi Honey hydrates the lips and has natural antibacterial and regenerative properties that can help soothe and heal dry or chapped lips. Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid helps to hydrate the lips by drawing in and retaining moisture. Grape Seed and Sunflower Oil: These oils are rich in antioxidants to help protect and nourish the delicate skin on the lips. Evening Primrose Oil: This oil is rich in essential fatty acids and can help to soothe inflammation and irritation. Vitamin E and Other Antioxidants Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Look for lip care products that contain vitamin E and other antioxidants like green tea extract or vitamin A to help keep your lips healthy and youthful. Avoid Harsh Chemicals Avoid lip care products that contain harsh chemicals and artificial ingredients. These ingredients can be irritating to the delicate skin on your lips. Instead, look for lip care products that are free of artificial ingredients, like parabens, phthalates, and preservatives. DIY Lip Care Recipes Making your own lip care products can be a fun and effective way to take care of your lips. Here are two DIY lip care recipes you can try at home. Honey Lip Scrub Honey is a natural humectant that helps the lips attract and retain moisture. It also has mild exfoliating properties and antibacterial benefits. This makes it an excellent ingredient for a lip scrub to exfoliate dead skin from your lips and add hydration at the same time. To make your own honey lip scrub, combine one tablespoon of honey, one tablespoon of brown sugar, and ½ tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well and apply to your lips in a circular motion, using your fingertips to gently exfoliate. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.  Honey Overnight Lip Mask Honey can help to soothe and hydrate the skin on your lips, leaving them feeling soft and supple. It’s an ideal ingredient to include in a DIY lip mask to nourish the lips overnight. To make your own honey overnight lip mask, combine one tablespoon of honey and one tablespoon of coconut oil, mixing well. Apply generously to your lips before bed, massaging gently into the skin. In the morning, rinse your lips with warm water.

The summer is coming which means our hair gets wet much more often than usual. Wet hair is more fragile than dry hair, which is why it's important to handle it with care to avoid damage. These are the things you should avoid doing with wet hair to maintain healthy, split end-free strands. Why wet hair is more prone to damage and breakage? When hair is wet, it absorbs water and swells. This causes the hair shaft to become more porous, which makes it easier for water to penetrate the hair and cause damage. Wet hair is also more prone to stretching, which can cause the hair to break or split. Another factor that contributes to wet hair damage is the pH of water. Tap water has a pH of around 7, which is slightly alkaline. Hair, on the other hand, has a slightly acidic pH of around 4.5 to 5.5. When hair comes into contact with alkaline water, it can cause the hair cuticle to lift and become more vulnerable to damage. 5 common wet hair mistakes to avoid 1. Brushing or combing aggressively Wet hair is more prone to breakage , so it's important to use a wide-tooth comb or a brush with flexible bristles to detangle your hair gently. Start at the ends and work your way up to avoid pulling your hair. If you encounter a particularly stubborn knot, try using your fingers to loosen it first.  One product that can smoothen the detangling process is a leave-in conditioner, like our Honey Infused Leave-in Conditioner. This will help smooth your locks, preparing them for detangling with a brush or wide-tooth comb. The Honey Infused Leave-In Conditioner can be applied to towel-dried hair. Spray the product from an arm's length distance onto the mid-lengths of your hair down to the ends, combing through to ensure it is evenly dispersed. You can also opt for Honey Infused Hair Oil before detangling. ​​This luxurious hair oil is enriched with sustainably-sourced Mirsalehi Honey from our very own Mirsalehi Bee Garden, formulated to rebuild and repair hair to the core. Since this product is ​​multi-purpose, it can be used as a pre-styling as well as a finishing product, as an addition to a hair mask and as an overnight treatment. 2. Using a regular towel to dry your hair Regular towels can be rough on wet hair and cause damage to the hair cuticle. Instead, use a microfiber towel or a t-shirt to squeeze out excess water gently. Microfiber towels are particularly effective at absorbing moisture without causing friction, which can help prevent breakage and frizz.  3. Blow drying on high heat High heat can damage wet hair, so it's important to use a low-heat setting or let your hair air dry instead. If you must use a blow dryer, hold it at least at an arm's length distance from your hair and use a diffuser attachment to distribute the heat evenly. To prevent any heat damage and protect your hair from UV, spritz Gisou Propolis Infused Heat Protecting Spray which contains propolis rich in vitamins, minerals and flavonoids to protect hair and keep it healthy. For the best result, section hair and mist evenly from an arm’s length distance onto dry or damp hair before applying any heat tools or exposing hair to UV. Always make sure your hair is dry before using heated styling tools such as curling irons and straighteners.  4. Sleeping with wet hair Sleeping with wet hair can cause damage to your hair strands. Wet hair is more fragile than dry hair, and the friction between your hair and your pillowcase can cause breakage and split ends. It's best to allow your hair to air dry completely before going to bed or to use a low-heat setting on your hair dryer to dry your hair first.  However, if you still choose to sleep with the wet hair, take the advantage to deeply nourish it by applying our deeply nourishing overnight mask. Add a few drops of the Honey Infused Hair Oil to the Honey Infused Hair Mask to create a special treatment for your damaged locks. After applying this mixture to your damp hair, leave it overnight by covering your hair with satin or silk bonnet.  5. Pulling your wet hair back tightly Wet hair is more prone to breakage, so avoid pulling it back tightly into a ponytail or bun. Use a loose hair tie or clip instead of a tight one. If you must tie your hair back, make sure it's completely dry first, and use a soft, fabric hair tie to avoid damaging your hair.  To easily create the famous sleek ponytail without pulling your hair too much, use our Propolis Infused Polishing Primer. The Polishing Primer will smooth your hair and make it more manageable while providing workable hold. It will also help to shield your hair from humidity, preventing frizz throughout the day.  To use, place one to two pea-sized amounts of hair primer into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together to warm up the product and activate the ingredients. Distribute the product evenly throughout your damp hair from root to tip using your fingers or a wide tooth comb.   View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gisou (@gisou)   Wrapping up By avoiding these common mistakes with wet hair, you can keep your hair healthy and strong. Remember to treat your wet hair with care and patience, and you'll be rewarded with beautiful, healthy locks

Move over overnight facemasks. It’s time to make some room for overnight lip treatments. Our precious lips are finally starting to get some of the love and care they deserve.  But choosing the right overnight lip treatment is important. Not all ingredients are created equal, and they aren’t all good for you either! The last thing anyone needs is to use a product that creates a burning sensation rather than a soothing one.  That’s why we will focus on natural solutions. Better for us and better for our bees!  Why You Need an Overnight Lip Treatment Lip balm alone can’t get the job done. Multiple factors can dry out our lips, leaving them cracked and sore at times. Our lips need proper hydration, just like the rest of our skin.  Why Lips Tend to Become Dry and Chapped There can be a number of reasons why your lips are dry and chapped. If you notice your lips cracking, it could be due to the following.  Too much sun exposure Cold climates Overly hot and dry climates Wind Excessive licking of your lips Dehydration  The Benefits of an Overnight Lip Treatment An overnight lip treatment with quality ingredients promotes a lot of benefits. Let’s take a look! The outer section of your lips is thin. This is your barrier, and by using an overnight lip treatment, you strengthen your barrier to prevent further damage. A stronger barrier helps resist natural elements that cause dryness.  An overnight lip treatment with humectant and emollient properties provides the ultimate hydration to your lips. This creates a smoother, defined look and glossier finish enhancing your natural lip color.  Lip Treatments with honey have antibacterial properties to fight infection. It also helps promote faster healing of dry and cracked lips.  Our lips often show signs of aging through dry and damaged skin. Nourishing our lips with essential vitamins and nutrients helps keep a healthy and plumped pout.  Regular Lip Balm vs. An Overnight Lip Treatment An overnight lip treatment is a bit thicker than a balm and works to soak vital nutrients and minerals into our luscious lips. It acts as an emollient which makes for better absorption than just a regular lip balm.  Ingredients to Look for in an Overnight Lip Treatment Remember, the best overnight lip treatment is made from natural ingredients. Artificial and synthetic ingredients can be irritating to sensitive lips, leading to dryness and chapping. Here are some key ingredients you’ll find in our Honey Infused Lip Oil and why they’re beneficial. HONEY Honey is extra rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Honey also has properties that promote healing while also retaining moisture and nourishing our lips deep within. HYALURONIC ACID  For the absolute best hydration to smooth and plump our lips, a quality Hyaluronic Acid to get deep into our dermis is key. This helps treat burns, sores, cuts, and chapped lips most effectively.  NATURAL BOTANICAL OILS Botanical oils contain powerful antioxidants, and they’re rich in Omegas 3, 6, and 9. This helps strengthen the surface level skin to provide a barrier and keep moisture in.  BURITI FRUIT OIL Adding to the list of Omega 9s, Buriti Fruit Oil is one that helps specifically regenerate the skin’s lipids for those who struggle with dry lips.  BLUEBERRY SEED OIL Omega 3 and 6 can be found in Blueberry seed oil. The goal is to soothe the lips while hydrating them and restoring protection from their natural skin barrier.  Types of Overnight Lip Treatments Overnight lip treatments come in a variety of remedies. Each one serves a slightly different purpose to produce healthier lips.  Lip Masks Overnight lip masks are like face masks, except they are best used overnight for optimal results. They can come in various application methods, such as sheets, clay, or creams. Regardless of which method you use, the ultimate goal here is to soften the lips with ultimate hydration over an extended period of time.  Lip Oils Lip oils are a better solution to lip balms. In fact, it’s one of the best overnight lip treatments you can invest in. Lip balms are waxy and make you feel like you must reapply every few hours or even on the hour. Lip oils don’t require as much application yet offer you great hydration.  A great product will be able to provide instant effects as well as penetrate below the lip barrier for ultimate hydration. Be sure to avoid lip oils with artificial fragrances. These can dry out your lips or cause unwanted reactions.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gisou (@gisou)   Healing Ointments Your healing ointments are most similar to your balms and likely contain beeswax and an antibacterial. They are commonly marketed for fixing burns, cuts, chapped lips, etc. Consider it to be your first aid upgrade from a lip balm.  The problem with lip balms and healing ointments is that they don’t always penetrate into the lips for deep moisturizing. They can act more as a barrier at times. You’ll also notice that cocoa or shea butter is a common ingredient in balms and ointments when treating lips. They work but don’t penetrate as deeply.  Lip Creams and Moisturizers Lip creams and moisturizers will be thinner than an overnight lip mask. These creams likely contain more water and nutrients than your normal lip balm. If you are looking for the best overnight lip moisturizer, pick something that doesn’t leave your lips feeling sticky. This will cause excessive licking and touching.  How to Use an Overnight Lip Treatment An overnight lip treatment is your ultimate lip therapy repair process! Here’s how to use one.  Preparing Your Lips Right before you go to bed, make sure to wash away any makeup on your face and lips. If you have an existing product on your lips, use a makeup removal solution so you can allow for the treatment to come directly into contact with your lips. If you notice a build-up of dead skin and haven’t exfoliated in a while, it’s time to do that!  Applying the Product No matter what kind of product you are using, this is the time to treat yourself. Be generous with the product and create a nice thick layer so all the nutrients can seep into your lips overnight. Massaging the first layer in is a great trick. Then add a second layer without rubbing it in.  Allowing it to Absorb Be sure not to touch your lips after applying the treatment. Drinking or eating can take the overnight lip treatment off. This is why it’s best done as the last step before bed. It’s also important not to lick your lips or press them together too much.  Frequency of Use You should use an overnight lip treatment every time you exfoliate your lips to repair them with essential ingredients. However, there is no limit to how many times a week you can apply an overnight treatment.  The more you notice your lips are in need of care, the more frequently you can use this type of treatment.  DIY Overnight Lip Treatments The good news is that there are a number of DIY solutions you can make yourself. No need to worry about making any complicated formula. These lip treatments have no more than two ingredients. Tip: You can add sugar to turn it into a lip scrub. Mix together equal parts honey and equal parts coconut oil until you have a thick consistency. We already know honey has amazing antibacterial and healing properties, but coconut oil is also a great moisturizer!  If you don’t have coconut oil handy, mixing lavender oil with honey is a great alternative. Lavender oil has calming properties, which can be great for aggravated lips from being chapped or burned.  One more amazing homemade solution is to use mashed avocado and honey. Avocado is a huge source of vitamin E. It also brings vitamins A and D to the table. Tips for Maintaining Soft, Smooth Lips Stay Hydrated Something as simple as drinking eight glasses (or more) of water a day can make a huge impact on your lip hydration. Drinking water, in general, can help fine lines, whether it be near your eyes or on your lips.  Avoid Licking Your Lips Licking your lips may be the sultry thing to do or maybe even a habit after eating good food, but it causes your pretty pout to suffer! Constantly making your lips wet and then exposing them to causes dry lips. Sometimes when we have dry lips, it’s our inclination to lick them. But it produces the absolute opposite effect of what you were going for.  Protect Your Lips from the Sun and Wind Most people forget to put sunscreen over their lips. This can cause a ton of sun damage. And if there were ever a good time for a lip balm or lip oil, it would be on windy days. Wind wipes away our natural barriers, so get ahead of the game and protect it.  Start Pampering Your Pout It’s never a bad time to start pampering your pout. In a pinch, grab some items out of your pantry for a DIY method. But to take full advantage of wholesome ingredients, try Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil for an effective routine. Our lips deserve to be loved just like the rest of our face!
