Hair Oils Vs TikTok
Currently draining our phone’s data is TikTok, but can we apply and get the look we’re after in 15 seconds? Here’s how we got on…
Hair Oil Reviews
Kérastase hair oil
Instagrammable packaging
Kérastase are queens of creating ultra covetable and luxe products, so their Elixir Ultime will be getting pride of place right at the front of our beauty stahs.

In a large bottle that’s easy to hold, this product applies easily and without any excess oil.

L’Oreal Professionel Hair Oil
Instagrammable packaging
Almost Art Deco inspired, we love the sleek packaging on the Mythic Oil, however it’s a bit too long to fit in our everyday cosmetics bag!
3/5
Ease of application
With an easy to use pump that doesn’t distribute too much product, Ruby easily managed to add this to her hair without any difficulties.
5/5
Texture
Beaut to apply, this is an incredibly nourishing hair oil that Ruby’s already obsessed with, however it might be a bit too thick for finer hair types.
4/5

Smells unreal, and left Ruby’s hair glossy but not wet.

SHOW Beauty hair oil
Instagrammable packaging
Come on, just look at it 😍
5/5
Ease of application
The pipette doesn’t have much control and sometimes the hair oil can drop off before you’ve squeezed the top of it. You have to move from bottle to hand quickly otherwise you get a trail of oil, and that can take a while to master.
2/5
Texture
The texture is lovely. It looks like it’s going to be quite a heavy hair oil, but on application it’s a lot lighter. A little goes a long way too – all you need is a 5p sized amount for a whole head of hair.

How it feels on hair
Kirsty’shair strands are quite fine, but she has a lot of them and this doesn’t leave her hair greasy at all! Just smooth and sleek. Plus, can I add a category for smell? I am OBSESSED!

Moroccanoil Hair Oil
Instagrammable packaging
Moroccanoil treatment always comes in its classic pharmaceutical style bottle, and we love how it looks with the rest of our beauty stash on the ‘gram.
5/5
Ease of application
To use the hair oil, you have to unscrew the bottle top and replace with the pump. Although cute, it kinda leave the bottle top a bit redundant, as the pump gets filled with oil and you can’t really take it out without cleaning and washing away loads of product.
However, actual application was super easy, and Lucy was only left with a little bit of residue on her hands.
4/5
Texture
A perfect light wash over Lucy’s curls, there are no complaints here!
5/5
How it feels on hair
Once you’ve perfected the amount required for your hair type, you’ll absolutely nail this product. While you’re fine tuning it, you might find it hard to get just the right amount.

Redken hair oil
Instagrammable packaging
Emily loved the packaging, and it would fit perfectly in her haircare stash, but she’d love a box with a bit more info on the product and how to use it.
4/5
Ease of application
Lovely and silky, this product was a dream to apply.
5/5
Texture
Easily melting into hands, this was the best hair oil for smoothing away flyaways and keeping hair manageable.

Wella hair oil
Instagrammable packaging
Sophie loves the cute little bottle, and it’ll be great for travelling, however a bigger version would be perfect for use at home.
4/5
Ease of application
Easy to apply to hair straight from the applicator, there’s nothing we’d improve here.
5/5
Texture
Although great for Sophie’s hair, we can imagine this would be a little much for particularly fine hair.
4/5
How it feels on hair
