Poolside Hair Favorite: Leonor Greyl - Huile de Palme

Leonor Greyl - Huile de Palme (For Dry Hair, protects from sun & water)
(Huile de Palme, $47.00 LeonorGreyl.com)

Leonor Greyl Huile de Palme is a pre-treatment oil that's made it's way into my pool bag.  Generally, I don't even waste my time coating my hair with conditioner before swimming because I haven't found that it actually makes a difference in the health of my hair.  What I look for in a poolside hair favorite is the ability to condition and moisturize my hair post-swimming while I'm sitting poolside or inbetween dips in the water.  ((please note: as soon as I get out the water I rinse my hair in the outdoor shower))   

Product Description: A pre-shampoo treatment formulated with botanical oils that help detangle and nourish your hair. Also very effective at providing protection against the damaging effects of sun, seawater and chlorinated pool water. It’s the perfect blend to protect and restore damaged length and ends as well as your color.

AHS Thoughts:  I absolutely hate that the bottle is glass.  Generally speaking glass by the pool is a no-no, but I made an exception here.  If you can't/won't pour some in a plastic bottle and keep it moving.  Now, on to the full review.  I absolutely LOVE this oil.  It really softens my hair as soon as I put a little bit of this oil on my hair.  Plus mix that with the heat from the sun and it's like a deep conditioning treatment.  Please be warned it's pricey at $47.00 for 3.2 oz.
