Questions & Answers for Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil

Question

How to Use?

What is the best way to use this serum? My hair type is dry damaged hair, from bleaching and heat styling. I currently shampoo, condition and use a heat protection when my hair is damp. Does this protect from heat styling? Is it best to use on damp hair or when dry? Trying to get my hair back to a soft flowy feel.

I use mine after I finish my makeup which is around 20 minutes after I get out of the shower. After that I blow dry/ style my hair. Doing it that way makes my hair feel silky.

I've used it when my hair is both dry and damp. When my hair is damp, I feel like it smooths more and combats my frizz better. When my hair is dry it makes my hair shiny and soft.

You can use this product on damp hair and on dry. It will make your hair silly and does not have a greasy feeling. You should not have to use it every day, but if you want to, go for it. and use it sparingly.

It says it is a heat protectant. However, I use a different heat protectant, and then use this after my hair is dried and flat ironed. It smooths out my coarse hair and makes it shiny. I really like it.

i have the exact same problem--i put a few drops in my damp hair before blowdrying, smooth some on the ends before flat-iron, and then a tiny bit on the finished hair to tame fly-aways at the roots. works perfectly! i have very thick hair so be careful not to use too much, but i found this worked just right for my bleached, course, dried out hair!!

I use this before I blow dry. I also flat iron my hair and it seems to protect from the worst of the heat. My hair is color treated and was bleached not to long ago and this product makes my hair feel brand new. Work with the amount but I never use more that a dime size even on my mid back length hair.

Question

Does it kill body?

I have a textured bob and my hair always looks dull from the products I use, which is typically a combination of BB Texture Hair (un)Dressing cream, BB Surf Spray or BB Styling Lotion, Healthy Sexy Hair flat iron spray, Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Touchable hairspray and Short Sexy Hair Play Dirty. I need to have a lot of volume for my cut to look right and I'm afraid this oil might deflate it. Thoughts?

I would agree with you. If your hair is not dry, I would choose a shine spray which is lighter and coats the outside of your hair. This product absorbs into the hair. It is not overly heavy but does take away some body on my wavy hair.

i've used this product on damp and dry hair and i would say that you should be fine using it on damp hair before blow drying or air drying. it could replace your heat-protecting spray. i think layering it on top of the products you list would probably weigh your hair down a bit and reduce the effect of the texturizing products like surf spray.

I have used this every day on my hair since I got it about a month ago and there is still PLENTY left in the bottle. I am guessing it will last me at *least* another 4-5 months. I only use 1-2 pumps each day, and I have hair that reaches about to my armpit. Though my hair is also fine, so a little tends to go a long way.

yes, it does. I asked an associate to sample this oil to me. I got a tiny container about 1/2 tall with the circumference of a dime. It lasted me about two weeks and I used it everyday. It has a really pretty perfumed vanilla scent, but Paul Mitchell gloss drops work better, in my opinion, for long hair, and only costs $19.00. However, for #38.00, you do get A LOT of the BB oil. It is a value when you compare with others on the market.

It goes fast if your needing 2-3 pumps like me. I have Victoria Secret long hair, beachy waves. Its not worth it, better to spend $ on new pure oil products available. Main ingredient is same as 5.99+ products @ drugstore. Bumble focuses on the oils that are further down on ingred. list, but its 1st listed ingredient is Cheap! Note: 1st listed ingredient means it is highest % of that ingred. Check it out for yourself. Hope this helps, I returned mine. :)

I used to use moroccan oil but where i live, its harder to get because only certain stores carry the brand. I've always loved bumble and bumble products and I've used just about EVERY item they have ONCE.
This oil is lighter has a subtle scent and its COMPLETELY different than the moroccan oil. They're both really great oils. I have color treated hair and its somewhat naturally curly and I've been sticking to this for a while and it works pretty good its not as thick as the moroccan oil so where i'd put 2-3 pumps of the moroccan I use about 5-6 pumps of the bumble and bumble oil. I like it. Its lighter. But if you like the more thick rich one go with moroccan oil.

I have used both Fekkai's Glossing Cream and B&B Hairdresser's Oil. I like both, however, I find the Hairdresser's Oil to be not as "heavy," at least for my hair. I have used the oil on damp hair, as well as after styling for some shine. I used have a pump after stylish and finger-combed it through my hair, concentrating on the ends. It looked really healthy and shiny afterward.

I have used Fekkai's Glossing Cream while damp, as well as after styling. I like it better for after styling, personally. I use it very sparingly, however, as it seems to make my hair look pretty greasy if I use even a bit too much. It's really nice, makes my hair look great, and has a fantastic scent--just be careful to not apply much (my hair is a few inches below my shoulders and I use a pea-size amount or less).

For me, it's mostly about the scent. If I'm going out and want to wear a certain perfume, I'll use the Hairdresser's Oil, as it has a very faint, almost undetectable scent. If it's daytime and I'm not wearing perfume, I'll use Moroccan Oil or Fekkai's Glossing Cream, as they provide a nice, light scent that stays.

answer 5

I like the B&B better than then Fekai glossing cream but they are really not the same type of product. Although Bumble states that this product gives shine to the hair, it is not like a glossing cream that smooths and creates sleek shine. It is more for taming frizz, fly aways and creating soft hair. It is very nourishing and doesn't weigh hair down. Doesn't give an abundance of shine but still an awesome product. The glossing cream is not as healthy for your hair but has quite a different function. You could easily use both together each day, but this will not be a likely substitute

I've used the Chi products before which are really great and I love the smell. However they also tend to be a bit heavy and the next day your hair really feels the products. This is incredibly lightweight and unless you use too much (for my short hair I use less than a pea sized amount) you shouldn't have problems.

How is it regarding buildup (need to use a clarifier)?

I was wondering how this is doing regarding buildup. In the past, when I've used some other hair oils regularly, I've needed to use a clarifier about every two weeks or so to cut through so that my B&B conditioner can work. Any feedback yet?

Commenting on the users below post, You can use a sulfate-free shampoo but, it needs a strong surfactant to take effectively remove the dimethicone. Dimethicone is a very heavy silicone. It can be removed with not only sulfates but cocamidopropyl betaine (not a sulfate), cocobetaine, baking soda, and apple cider vinegar. So, a shampoo without these may not remove it.

answer 2

Just a comment on the previous user's comment...

You should actually try to avoid sulfates if possible. They damage your hair, i.e. breakage, split ends, hair loss, etc. A lot of people are actually allergic to sulfates; their skin typically reacts negatively to it.

I stopped using sulfate hair products and my hair is shinier, healthier, and even thicker. The only difference is that sulfate- free shampoos don't foam up like sulfate based shampoos. However, this is not indicative of how well it cleans your hair. They clean my hair just as well as sulfate shampoos.

You should give sulfate-free hair products a shot!

answered 9 months ago

littlejoy

answer 3

You may have to use a clarifier because the first ingredient is dimethicone. Dimethicone is a sillicone used in lots of hair
and make-up products and isn't water soluble. Thus, it builds up. (This 'cone or some other 'cone might be in your conditoner)
This product is great, but, you might clarify more or use
a cleansing agent that effectively removes it such as Ammonium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate, Ammonium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate, or Cocoamidopropyl Betaine.

Hope my geekiness helped! :)

Question

Is this product very good for burning a lot of my hair off using hair lightener bleach and dye?

I wanted to go an light ashy blonde color, so i picked up hair lightener bleach and toner. Before i bleached it i had a lot of my natural color which was regrowth from highlighting my hair a while ago. My natural hair is dark dark brown. Then about 2 inches down i had so many different colors going on on my ends from auburn,copper tones,caramel tones, mostly all the warm red tones. I wanted that all out, so i was told i had to bleach my hair about 3-4 times before all the red tones were out. I bleached my hair then right after 1 application of bleach i would dye it with a neutral tone hair dye,which i was also told to do to get the brassiness out. The 2nd and 3rd time i bleached my hair i waited about a week or two in between each application, whether it would be dye or bleach. i also used a toner. It was very hard and very time consuming to get the red tones out. The very last time i bleached it, i had rinsed it out and then i saw a lot of my hair going down the drain. i didnt think anything of it, knowing that bleach does break my hair. then i dyed it right after and when i rinsed it out i saw more hair fall out and now i have a mini mohawk now down the middle.

I have the same problem...mine isn't broken, it's regrowth. I always have short new hairs around my center part area and bangs that stick straight up. Sadly this product did nothing to tame them. You'd probably have better luck with a paste type product. When used sparingly and emulsified on the fingers before applying it's not gunky (is that a word). This product does not have the muscle to hold down those stubborn stick up hairs. Just be sure to use the heavier, gluey type product at the end of styling. Also, if you make sure those hairs are still completely wet and then blow dry that area first, brushing the hairs down like you want them you'll have much better luck. But they have to be wet. If its partially dried this won't work. Just apply your regular products, mist it if it's too dry right there and blow those hairs first, blow them completely dry and then do a shot of cold air to set. It will help.

You need a good haircut, and time to grow your hair out, as well as a visit to a very good professional salon that has a reputation for satisfied customers. I hold a PA cosmetologist license and would bet that no professional told you to do all that to your hair. It was bad advice and I hope, in the future, you do not take stock in their advice, at least when it comes to hair!!

This oil is very lightweight and good for hair that is already in "ok" to good condition.
