What the gurus are saying

This oil's combination of heat and UV protection matters most for color-treated hair, since UV rays fade color over time and this product helps prevent that damage. The lightweight formula smooths beautifully without weighing strands down, and it works on both wet and dry hair. Those with color-treated hair who spend time outdoors may want to reach for this regularly.

    "I love the Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil line, the whole line. [...] Every product works miracles on my hair. [...] It's hydrating without being heavy, which is something I personally need. [...] It's truly one of the best shampoos and conditioners I've ever tried. I ran out a couple months ago and I feel like I should get the jumbo size because I love it so much. I also love their leave in spray. [...] I'm a die hard fan of the whole Invisible Oil line."

    "I also tried out the Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil, this is a protective heat primer, [...] and I've been using it since trying it for that video and I'm loving it. It just smooths out the hair so beautifully but it feels really lightweight, which is nice, especially after I've washed my hair I don't want to put product in it immediately that weighs it down."

    The Post-Wash Haircare Routine I Swear By For Long, Healthy Hair Maintenance
    "The Bumble and Bumble Hairdressers Invisible Oil is one of her hair oil recommendations, used as a style sealer after blow drying for a boost in shine, softness, and frizz control."

    "It is a little bit thicker and more viscous than both Dove options while still not being thick or heavy. I have used this for years at this point. It's one of my OG recommendations that really stands the test of time because of all the benefits, the ingredients, and how well it works in my hair without making it greasy, stringy, or weighed down."

    "Another favorite finishing oil that I love and am happy to recommend is the Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil. Some of these oils do have added heat protection, like this one from Bumble and Bumble, so if you wanted to use it before blow drying or heat styling you can, though I've always preferred using oil after styling instead."

    "I love this stuff. I just did two pumps. I definitely used to overdo it with products like this and leave-ins, applying way too much every single day after a wash, and I just don't think that's necessary. All that's going to do is make it feel like you have buildup on your hair. Brushing through this is just going to help make sure the oil is distributed as best as it can be."

    "If you want a different route, some sort of leave-in that you rub throughout your hair, I would go for a hair oil. You get such a nicer result with something like the Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil, it gives you that gloss, it does help with frizz because [...] it's an oil, and it tames way better."

    "It has tons of nice ingredients, amodimethicone, macadamia seed oil, coconut oil, grape seed oil, sweet almond oil, and argan oil. I also love that this is relatively lightweight for an oil, it's not greasy, it's not sticky, and it's something [...] a ton of people could use and really enjoy without it feeling too heavy or too lightweight, it's just right."

    "This is such a nice all-in-one oil. It provides heat protection, so it's something you can use before applying heat to your hair, and it contains such nice ingredients to protect and nourish your hair, like amodimethicone, macadamia seed oil, coconut oil, grape seed oil, sweet almond oil, and argan oil. I really enjoy using Bumble and Bumble when I'm styling my hair after it's freshly washed."

    "I'm a fan of the Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil. [...] The conditioners will help to limit the absorption of things that can discolor your hair from pool water. It's also a heat protectant, so when you do heat style your hair, use the lowest heat setting and [...] it will help to offset heating of the hair strands from your treatment that would otherwise damage your hair even further."

    TONS OF SKINCARE AT ULTA TO DISCUSS 🛍 Dermatologist @DrDrayzday
    "I highly recommend this product, the BB Hairdresser's Invisible Oil by Bumble and Bumble. It's a heat and UV protective primer, and the UV protection in this for your hair strands is beneficial to cut down on weathering, especially for those of you who color treat your hair, because a lot of what ends up fading the hair color from color treatments is UV exposure. So putting some UV protectant on there can actually help your hair color last longer."

    "I ten out of ten recommend this heat and UV protective primer, [...] the Hairdresser's Invisible Oil. This is really good if you have color treated hair to reduce weathering if you're going to be outside doing stuff, because UV rays can actually damage your hair strands. If you have color treated hair it won't affect the lifespan of your hair color, but if you have naturally blonde hair, UV rays can discolor it, for sure it's a lot more vulnerable than brown or black hair."

    What the evidence says.

    Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

    Humectants and emollients

    Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

    Vitamin E

    Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
