Kérastase Elixir Ultime hair oil is iconic for a reason: it not only instantly smooths hair, making it more manageable and easier to style, it helps strengthen hair, preventing it from breaking. And if you’re asking yourself, what is the best Kérastase hair oil for shiny hair, look no further! It’s one of the best hair oils around to deliver that high & long-lasting shine, while fighting the frizz.

For extra soft, shiny hair, why not use it as a pre-cleanse treatment? Work through the lengths and ends a few minutes before shampooing hair, to detangle the hair. Elixir Ultime hair oil is a reliable heat protectant too, as it protects your hair from damage due to blow-drying, straighteners, and curlers.

With its lightweight formula, including French camellia and wild camellia, the iconic Kérastase leave-in hair oil delivers unforgettable shine with an addictive fragrance.

Key ingredients

French Camellia: The star ingredient in Elixir Ultime hair oil? French camellia, mixed with wild camellia. We're talking super carefully selected, hand-picked from trees in Brittany that are at least 50 years old. Only when trees hit that level of maturity can they produce the top-quality flowers that Kérastase Elixir Ultime needs.

And to keep all the good stuff in these extracts, the fresh flowers go through a 12-hour cold maceration process. That’s a fancy way of saying it’s soaked in liquid. That's what gives the refined camellia oil that makes Elixir Ultime hair oil so totally nourishing, illuminating, and softening.

Nutrition Oils: We're talking about oils that bring serious nutrition vibes—think Argan oil. These nutrition gurus are going to embrace that highly damaged hair, bringing in the softness, elasticity, and restoring that hair shine. Plus, they have a body-building effect, making your hair fiber thicker. What’s not to like?

Pro-tip

PRE-CLEANSE: Apply to brushed hair and rinse out before applying shampoo.

Usage

Apply 1 or 2 drops on wet or dry hair, as a leave-in treatment. Start from mid-lengths and work to ends. Style as desired. It can be used as a pre-cleanse, or a pre-blow dry oil, and for finishing and touch-ups during the day.
