The Standard Hair Oil

Description

Relaunching in 2026

EVOLVh The Standard Hair Oil is a weightless oil that replenishes dry hair without a greasy residue. Designed to control unruly strands and enhance shine, it helps protect against heat and UV exposure while preserving color. Its fluid texture absorbs quickly, leaving the lengths light and manageable.

Pine-tree terpenes and hemisqualane improve slip and help keep flyaways in check, while castor oil esters support a glossy finish. Bataua oil provides moisture, and ceramide NG contributes further conditioning. The combination leaves hair silky and sleek without feeling coated or weighed down.

HOW TO USE IT

Apply the oil to your palms and rub hands together to warm. For wet, damp, or dry hair, work through the mid-lengths and ends, then smooth palms over the surface for added frizz control. As a pre-cleanse treatment, apply to dry hair from roots to ends, leave on for 15–30 minutes, then rinse before shampooing. Use one pump for fine hair, 2–3 pumps for thick or wavy hair, 1–2 pumps per section for curly hair, or 2–3 pumps per section for coily hair, adding more as needed.
