L’Oréal Huile Initiale Pre-Shampoo MYTHIC OIL is a dual-phase oil-based pre-shampoo treatment made for thick hair, formulated with 10% rapeseed and safflower oil. Professional stylists use it before shampooing to give protection and intensive nourishment while making after-salon care easier, such as after Mythic Moments Royal Bliss or Life Infusion.

⚠️ Safety warning: avoid contact with the eyes. If the product gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with water.

From a Stylist’s Perspective
This treatment suits customers who regularly go through intensive salon procedures such as colour or smoothing. Rapeseed oil acts as a shield to reduce damage during washing, while safflower oil restores moisture without weighing down thick hair. The result is hair that is easier to manage and more resilient for styling.
💡 Extra tip: for very dry hair, pair it with a heat protectant serum after the treatment; avoid over-applying at the roots to prevent a damp feel.
Summary: MYTHIC OIL focuses on protection and nourishment, ideal for thick hair that needs extra care. For full details, see the product page or message us on WhatsApp.
