All about: Oribe Hair Care Gold Lust All Over Oil

Oribe Hair Care, the eponymous product line from one of the most influential hairdressers of all time, Oribe Canales, defines luxury in hair care. Prior to his death in 2018, the man has been one of the most sought-after hairstylists for fashion, editorial and advertising work for the last 30 years and his product range reflects just how in love with what he does he really was. His collaborators include countless photographers, like Bill King, who introduced him to the fashion editor Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, a co-conspirator during his Steven Meisel years. Then there was the meticulous Irving Penn, who Oribe still refers to as Mr. Penn; and Helmut Newton, who shot Cindy Crawford for American Vogue with hair that Oribe teased to infinity; and others like Richard Avedon, Patrick Demarchelier, Annie Leibovitz, Herb Ritts, Francesco Scavullo and Horst. He’s a man that loves making women look gorgeous, and his signature is super luxurious locks jam packed full of volume.

I am an unabashed Oribe fanatic, so when I heard that Oribe Hair Care was expanding its top-selling Gold Lust Collection with the addition of Gold Lust All Over Oil, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a bottle. And I have not been disappointed. A multi-tasking beauty elixir that can be used on the hair, body and face, the 99 per cent natural product is formulated with a curated blend of 17 natural oils rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids to nourish, protect and lock-in moisture. Regardless of where it’s used, this fast-absorbing oil is sure to leave behind an all-day radiant glow.
While the curated blend of 17 oils work together to hydrate and nourish all over, each individual oil was chosen to target a specific area of the hair, body or face, including:

Those chosen with hair in mind…
Coconut Oil: known for its essential fatty acids, helps combat dryness to nourish, moisturize and soften. It is epecially good for coarse, curly hair.
Olive Fruit Oil: conditions and adds brilliant shine while making hair softer and more manageable.
Safflower Seed Oil: promotes moisture retention to soften and condition hair while protecting against free-radical damage.
Argan Oil: adds lightweight shine, softens, reduces frizz and improves hair’s condition and manageability.
Castor Seed Oil: moisturizes and strengthens hair to help prevent breakage and split ends.
Apricot Oil: absorbs quickly to seal-in moisture, smooth the cuticle and tame frizz.
Watermelon Seed Oil: hydrates and nourishes hair while protecting from pollution.

And those chosen with the skin in mind…
Meadowfoam Seed Oil: softens skin while protecting against moisture loss.
Sunflower Seed Oil: improves the appearance of skin and helps to maintain its natural moisture barrier.
Avocado Oil: absorbs into skin to lock in hydration and prevent dryness.
Black Currant Seed Oil: deeply nourishes to increase elasticity and leaves skin with a healthy glow.
Sweet Almond Oil: deeply hydrates and conditions to soften skin.
Jojoba Oil: nourishes the skin, including underneath the beard.
Grape Seed Oil: known to be rich in vitamin E, helps improve skin tone and restore skin’s natural moisture barrier to help promote elasticity.
Lemon Peel & Bergamot Fruit Oils: help tone and enhance skin’s clarity.
Jasmine Oil: nourishes skin while imparting a luminous, youthful glow.

The introduction of the All Over Oil takes the Gold Lust Collection’s reparative properties beyond hair and to the rest of the body. In addition to being used as a prep, deep treatment and finishing product on the hair, this multi-purpose product can be used to soften beards, hydrate cuticles, spot-treat dry skin patches and more. The oil replenishes and restores with a natural Lemon Rose Fragrance that plays off of the citrus and floral elements of Oribe’s cult-classic Côte d’Azur scent, making it a truly decadent experience all round.
I’m already wedded to the Gold Lust Collection’s Dry Shampoo and Dry Texture Spray; and am thinking I may be adding this beauty to my list of repeat buys. At $91 it is a luxe investment, but if you can afford it? Pick some up now.
Available on Oribe.com and at Oribe salons and retailers nationwide.
