Aurel Hair Oil

Hair oil · 30 ml

One drop.

Five plant oils and nothing else. No silicone, no fragrance, no water to dilute it.

How many drops do I need?

Argan, jojoba, squalane.

Chosen because they are close to the oil your scalp already makes, so they sink in rather than sit on top.

Mid-lengths to ends.

Never the roots. Two to six drops, warmed in the palms, on towel-dried hair.

The formula

Five oils, drawn to scale.

Most hair oils list twenty ingredients and lead with silicone. This is the whole label, in the proportions it is bottled.

ArganCold-pressed. Shine and slip without weight.
JojobaA wax ester, closest to sebum. Absorbs fast.
SqualaneOlive-derived. Softens without film.
RosemaryLeaf extract in oil. The only scent, and it is faint.
Vitamin EKeeps the oils fresh for 12 months open.
Rosemary, argan nuts, a bowl of oil and jojoba seeds on black slate

What is not in it.

Silicone gives instant shine and builds up until hair looks dull under it. Fragrance is the most common reason for an itchy scalp. Water means preservatives. We left all three out and accepted that the bottle looks plain.

No silicone (dimethicone, cyclomethicone)No added fragrance or essential oil blendsNo water, so no preservativesNo mineral oil

How much

Count in drops, not pumps.

Too much oil is the reason people think oil does not suit them. Pick your hair and we will tell you the dose, and how long the bottle lasts at that rate.

How to use

Ninety seconds, three steps.

  1. 1

    Towel-dry

    Damp, not wet. Oil on soaking hair slides off with the water.

  2. 2

    Warm the drops

    Count them into one palm, rub your hands together until they are barely shiny.

  3. 3

    Mid-lengths to ends

    Rake through from the ears down. Nothing on the roots. Style as usual, or leave it.
