What makes the BASED Hair Elixir different from drugstore hair oils?
What makes the BASED Hair Elixir different from drugstore hair oils?
Most drugstore hair oils rely on heavy silicones like dimethicone and others that coat your hair with buildup, or cheap fillers that do more harm than good. They also use cheap & harsh preservatives (parabens) and synthetic fragrance (phthalates) that can disrupt your hormones.
BASED Hair Elixir is engineered with premium non-toxic ingredients including Meadowfoam oil, Broccoli oil, Kahai and Mongongo oil that deeply nourish, seal and protect without compromise. Real results, zero compromise.

Will this make my hair overly greasy or weigh it down?
No. The BASED Hair Elixir uses a blend of lightweight botanical oils that absorb effortlessly without leaving heavy, overly greasy residue.
Unlike cheap, silicone-based oils that sit on top of your hair causing buildup, our high-performance formula absorbs to nourish from within. Shine and softness without sacrificing volume or movement.
What hair types can use this?

All of them. Whether you have fine, thick, straight, wavy, curly, or coily hair, the BASED Hair Elixir works effortlessly.
The weightless formula won't weigh down fine hair or make it look flat, while still providing enough nourishment for thick, coarse textures.
We purposefully designed this to be the ultimate solution for everyone.
How much should I use and how do I apply it?
How much should I use and how do I apply it?
It's simple.
Pump once into your hands and rub your palms together to distribute the oil evenly. Apply to mid-lengths and ends of your hair, avoiding the roots to prevent any oiliness at the scalp. You can use it on damp hair after washing or on dry hair throughout the day for added shine and smoothness.
Reapply as needed. A little goes a long way with this concentrated formula.

You can also apply it before blow-drying or using hot tools, utilizing its thermal & heat protection. It works whenever your hair needs it.

On average, the BASED Hair Elixir lasts 4-6 months depending on frequency and amount used each time you apply. Because the formula is highly concentrated, you only need one pump per application – sometimes less for shorter or finer hair.
