Quick answer

Choose a deep repair hair treatment oil that penetrates quickly without leaving a sticky residue. Apply it to damp, towel-dried hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends, and use it 2–3 times per week for best results.

Why oil type matters for damaged hair

Damaged hair needs a treatment that can penetrate the hair shaft rather than just coating the surface. Oils that absorb quickly, like the Loreal Paris Elseve Damage Care PROEX Deep Repair Oil Essence, provide moisture and smoothness without weighing hair down. A non-sticky finish also makes it easier to style and manage.

How to choose and use your deep repair hair oil

  1. Check the oil's absorption speed: Look for an oil that claims quick penetration. A fast-absorbing oil like the Loreal Paris Elseve Damage Care PROEX Deep Repair Oil Essence won't leave your hair sticky or greasy. Common mistake: choosing a heavy oil that sits on top of the hair, causing buildup. Test a small amount on dry hair to see how quickly it absorbs.
  2. Apply to damp, not wet, hair: After washing, gently towel-dry your hair until it's just damp. Dispense 1–2 pumps of oil into your palms, rub them together, and run your fingers through the mid-lengths and ends. Common mistake: applying to soaking wet hair dilutes the oil and reduces effectiveness. Use less oil than you think—start with one pump and add more if needed.
  3. Use consistently but not daily: For damaged hair, use the oil 2–3 times per week as a treatment. Overuse can lead to excess oiliness, while underuse won't give lasting repair. Common mistake: using it every day and wondering why hair looks limp. Adjust frequency based on your hair's response—fine hair may need less, coarse hair may need more.
