Oh, Gisou, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee from the ends of my hair to the tip top of my scalp. If I told my Mum I was spending £68 on hair oil, she would probably look at me like I was crazy. That's why when I bought my first product from Gisou, I was kind of hoping it wasn't as amazing as everyone said it was. But fortunately for my hair, and unfortunately for my wallet, here we are.
If you haven't yet heard of the hair-care brand Gisou, I bet you've probably seen at least one photo of the brand's founder, influencer Negin Mirsalehi, on Instagram. For the unfamiliar, Gisou is a honey-infused hair line founded by Mirsalehi in 2015. Her father is a beekeeper and her mother is a hairdresser. Growing up, her mom used a concoction created from her dad's honey on her hair, and thus, Gisou's first product was born.
My absolute must-have products are the Honey Infused Hair Oil (£68), the Honey Infused Hair Mask (£42), and the Propolis Infused Heat Protecting Spray (£33). I've found that using these three products consistently has really made a difference in how my hair looks and feels, and definitely in how it smells. Gisou products have an amazing sweet scent that is long-lasting but not overpowering.
My first introduction to the Honey Infused Hair Oil came a few years ago. At that point in time, I felt like I had tried every oil under the sun, and I never understood the hype. Most oils made my hair feel greasy and weighed down, and while I could use them while damp, if I tried applying them to dry hair, the entire thing was just a mess. This, however, is liquid gold. I use it on wet hair, on dry hair, and I can even apply it to the top of my head to smooth out frizz without looking like a greaseball.
When Gisou came out with a mini version of the hair oil (£19) I knew I needed to scoop it up. The bitesize version is a must have in any travel beauty bag.
I use the hair mask two to three times a week, which is how often I wash my hair. Occasionally, I mix a few drops of the hair oil with the hair mask and apply that to my hair, which leaves it impossibly silky. I usually apply it prior to working out, leave it on throughout my sweat sesh, and then wash it out afterward.
If I'm blow drying my hair, I spray the heat protectant on wet hair right after the shower. I also use it on dry hair, though, before using any hot tools or go out in the sun. One thing I love about the product is that the mist is really fine and doesn't weigh my hair down.
All of the Gisou products I've tried are incredibly luxurious, and (in my opinion) well worth the price tag. They all give my hair the extra hydration that it can lack from dry, hot days, or overuse of heat. A little goes a long way, and I've found that these products really last. Give them one try and I can all but guarantee: you're gonna love this sh*t, too.
