Stylist Tips and Tricks: How to Use OI Oil

We spoke with four Davines stylists to learn how they use OI Oil to achieve a range of different looks.

For Shine

"I love OI Oil on wet hair that is coarse and lacking shine. It aids in the blow dry and gives the hair an incredible softness and shine. Also, when used every day at home, the condition of the hair improves over time." —Lauren Knox, Trim Salon in Lancaster PA @lknox34

For Perfect Curls

"I love using OI Oil on my hands after I've diffused curls to polish, define and eliminate frizz." —Mars Marusek, Fleet Street Hair Shoppe in Lexington KY @marsmarusek

For Texture

"One of my favorite cocktails is OI Oil and This is a Medium Hold Pliable Paste. I love using it to add shine and texture along with providing hold to short styles. I also use the mixture to scrunch into hair to make it look more lived-in." —Katie Plamondon, Hairformers Studio in Maple Ridge BC @katieplamondon

For Shorter Styles

"I love to use OI Oil on my pixie cuts. I use a number of pumps on wet hair combined with This is a Volume Boosting Mousse, blow the hair dry, and finish my styling with a mixture of This is a Forming Pomade with 2-3 pumps of oil, giving me separation and texture along with needed support." —Charles Gillick, Blu A Color Salon in Valley Park MO @charles_gillick
