HerNov Arpege Hair Oil — Perfumed Hair Oil, 30/100 ml

HERNOV Arpege Hair Oil is a professional leave-in perfumed oil essence created for comprehensive care of dry, damaged, colour-treated and frizz-prone hair. Its concentrated formula combines six botanical oils that nourish the hair, help reduce moisture loss, smooth the cuticle and protect the hair from heat damage during blow-drying and styling.

The oil helps improve the appearance of damaged areas, softens dry and rough ends, reduces tangling and controls frizz. After application, the hair feels smoother, softer and more flexible, becomes easier to comb and develops a healthy-looking, polished shine.

Despite its nourishing properties, the oil has a lightweight texture. It spreads evenly, absorbs quickly and does not leave the hair excessively greasy, sticky or heavy. Its sophisticated perfumed fragrance remains delicately noticeable on the hair after application.

Heat-Protective Action

According to the brand, the synergy of six botanical oils helps protect the hair from heat damage. The oils form a lightweight conditioning lipid layer on the hair surface, helping to smooth the cuticle, reduce moisture loss and prevent dryness and brittleness during blow-drying and styling.

HERNOV Arpege Hair Oil can therefore be used before blow-drying as a hair oil with heat-protective benefits. However, the manufacturer does not specify a maximum protection temperature, so claims such as “heat protection up to 230°C” should not be used.

Six Botanical Oil Complex

Camellia Japonica Seed Oil
Rich in fatty acids, camellia seed oil helps soften dry hair, smooth the surface and enhance natural-looking shine. It makes rough and dull strands feel silkier and more manageable.

Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil
Contains nourishing lipids and naturally occurring vitamin E. It helps reduce moisture loss, supports flexibility and protects the hair from excessive dryness.

Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
Nourishes dry and damaged hair, softens rough ends, supports elasticity and helps reduce brittleness caused by dryness.

Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
Provides lightweight conditioning, smooths the cuticle, makes detangling easier and helps reduce tangling and breakage.

Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil
Rich in nourishing lipids, avocado oil softens dry and damaged hair, supports flexibility and improves the appearance of weakened strands.

Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil
Forms a conditioning lipid layer on the hair surface, reduces roughness and enhances softness, smoothness and shine.

How the Formula Works

The botanical oil complex coats the hair with a thin protective layer and helps smooth raised cuticle scales. As a result, the hair becomes less prone to tangling, reflects light more evenly and appears smoother and glossier.

The brand also states that the formula helps strengthen hair fibres and improve the appearance of damaged areas. This is a cosmetic conditioning effect: the oil does not permanently restore biologically damaged hair, but it helps make the surface look and feel smoother, softer and better protected.

Texture and Fragrance

HERNOV Arpege Hair Oil has a concentrated yet lightweight, silky texture. It spreads easily through the hair, absorbs quickly and does not cause the strands to clump together.

The finish is soft, smooth, glossy and non-sticky. The product leaves an elegant salon-style perfumed fragrance on the hair.

Suitable For

• dry and dehydrated hair;
• damaged and brittle hair;
• colour-treated or bleached hair;
• chemically permed hair;
• porous and frizz-prone hair;
• dull, rough or weakened hair;
• curly and wavy hair;
• hair regularly exposed to blow-drying;
• dry, tangled and split ends;
• all hair types when used in the appropriate amount.

For fine hair, begin with a minimal amount to avoid weighing the hair down or reducing root volume.

How to Use

After shampooing, towel-dry the hair and then blow-dry it until approximately 70% dry. Rub a small amount of the oil between the palms and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and ends. Continue blow-drying and style as usual.

Recommended amount:

• short or fine hair — ½–1 pump;
• medium-length hair — 1–2 pumps;
• long, thick or very dry hair — 2–3 pumps.

On dry hair, apply one drop or half a pump to smooth frizz, condition the ends and add extra shine.

This is a leave-in product and does not require rinsing. Avoid applying a large amount directly to the roots or scalp.
