Brands We Love: Gisou Honey Hair Care
By Emily Alexander
Loaded with antioxidants, honey is one ingredient that has a variety of benefits. Whether it’s used in skincare, haircare, cooking, or to even help soothe allergies, high quality honey is a must have. One brand that not only recognizes the infinite benefits of honey, but also incorporates it into their products, is Gisou Hair Care.
Created in 2013 by Negin Mirsalehi, Gisou began from a deep appreciation for honey that has existed in her family for six generations. Growing up, Mirsalehi witnessed her father’s passion for beekeeping, and her mother’s interest in using honey to moisturize hair. Combining these two influences, Gisou is a company that uses honey from the Mirsalehi Bee Garden to create hair products that include hair oils, hair masks, hair wash, conditioner and hair perfume.
Beside honey, Gisou also has a variety of hair products created with propolis, a waxy substance produced by bees that helps them create hives. Gisou specifically uses propolis to, “prevent breakage and split ends while enhancing hair texture, volume and definition.” This line of hair products with propolis include a polishing primer, a heat protecting spray, and a texturizing wave spray.
Outside of Gisou’s website, their products can also be found at Sephora stores and online.
