How to Use Hair Oil

Best for Learning Drop Dosing

A concentrated bonding oil dosed in drops, with published heat protection.

No.7 teaches the core skill: two to three drops, warmed between the palms, pressed into the ends first. Its concentrated format makes under dosing easy and over dosing obvious, which is exactly the feedback a new oil user needs.

Best Pump Routine

The refillable camellia oil that replaced the original Elixir Ultime bottle.

The Elixir Ultime pump gives a repeatable measure, one pump for medium hair and two for long or thick hair, worked through damp lengths before blow drying. A fixed measure removes the guesswork that ruins richer oils.

Best Prep Step Example

A shake to activate oil carrying a keratin protein in a clear base.

Virtue adds one preparatory rule worth learning: shake the bottle first, because the protein is suspended in the oil. It is a reminder that each formula has one instruction that matters more than the rest, and reading it is part of using the product properly.

Best Detangling Application

The Italian roucou oil that detangles as well as it shines.

OI Oil shows the damp hair technique at its best: two to three drops through towel dried lengths before combing, so the comb glides instead of dragging. It is also the clearest lesson in restraint, since one drop too many changes the result completely.
