…and why we’re totally OBSESSED
Let's be honest, most of us are haircare commitment-phobes. We flit from the latest mask to the buzziest oil, rarely finishing a bottle before the next big thing catches our eye.
But Gisou? Gisou's different. It's the kind of brand that inspires a devotion usually reserved for that one perfect pair of jeans or your go-to coffee order.
Gisou, which translates to ‘golden hair lock’ in Persian, is the brainchild of model and influencer Negin Mirsalehi, who grew up with a beekeeper father and a hairdresser mother.
Inspired by her mother's homemade honey-infused hair concoctions, Mirsalehi set out to share this family secret with the world. The result? An opulent haircare line built on a foundation of six generations of beekeeping expertise, with the Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil as its crown jewel.
This multi-tasking marvel, powered by Mirsalehi Honey and a blend of nourishing Bee Garden Oils, promises to tackle everything from frizz and dryness to heat damage and lackluster locks. And with its subtle, honey-infused scent, it’s a treat for your senses, not just your strands.
Before we explore how to use the Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil, let's break down exactly what makes it so special.
