When it comes to trendy haircare, I often question my choices in following the buzz around certain brands, and Gisou—which translates to “hair” in Farsi—was no exception. The founder, Negin Mirsalehi, captivates many with her stunning looks showcased on her Instagram, coupled with her family’s intriguing heritage of beekeeping spanning six generations. The unique selling point of Gisou is that all products feature honey harvested from the Mirsalehi family’s beehives. While this aspect is fascinating, I approach this luxury haircare line with skepticism, as Negin’s highly curated image makes it hard to discern authenticity. However, my curiosity got the better of me, and when I had the chance to sample Gisou’s bestsellers, I thought, “Why not give it a shot?”

Lastly, I saved the best for last—the Honey Infused Hair Oil was the product I was most excited to try. Its scent is absolutely divine, and I find myself wanting to use it all over my body! However, be cautious as this oil is on the thicker side; using too much can leave your hair looking greasy. I typically apply about 1.5 droppers to the ends of my hair, which effectively softens my hair and adds a touch of shine. Remarkably, I can use it on consecutive days without my hair feeling weighed down, which is impressive given my hair’s thirst for moisture. While there are more affordable hair oils available and even some that perform better without leaving my hands greasy, I tend to view hair oils similarly to fragrances and enjoy rotating them based on their scents.
Final Thoughts on Gisou Haircare Products: While I truly admire the enchanting scents of the Gisou haircare line, the performance of several products leaves much to be desired. Some items yield mediocre results, while others are just satisfactory. Given the premium pricing of these products, I wanted them to deliver exceptional outcomes, but they seem to be more about hype than substance. Surprisingly, I find myself still interested in trying every new release from Gisou, though I doubt I would invest in a full-size product from their range.
