Hair Oil with Honey – Nourishing Hair Oil (50 ml)
My experience
The first thing that strikes you when opening the bottle is the fluid and silky textureIt's not a thick or sticky oil. I used it both on damp hair, before drying, and on dry hair as a finishing touch to the ends. In both cases, the result was very pleasant: softer, visibly shiny, and manageable hair, without a greasy effect.
On dry or slightly frizzy lengths the oil helps to smooth the hair fiber, making hair more manageable and shiny from the first application. Also ideal as a lightweight pre-styling oil.
Feelings and results
The honey scent is delicate and long-lasting, just the right amount. After several applications, I've noticed my ends are more elastic and less dull, especially when paired with the mask from the same line.
The formula
This oil is formulated for soften, polish and protect the lengths, rather than to perform a deep restructuring action. The formula is well balanced between lightweight silicone components e emollient vegetable oilsI particularly appreciated the presence of these nourishing vegetable oils that give softness without weighing down:

Comparison with Gisou Honey Oil: Similarities and Differences
When talking about honey hair oils, the most immediate reference is undoubtedly the iconic honey oil. Gisou, which over the years has become a true object of desire for those who love nourishing and sensorial haircare treatments. Comparing this product with the The Beauty Dept Hair Care Set with Honey It's interesting because, despite sharing the same symbolic ingredient, they actually respond to quite different needs.
THEGisou honey hair oil It was born as a highly distinctive treatment, with honey at the heart of the formulation and a blend of rich vegetable oils such as sweet almond, coconut, argan and passionflower. The result is a fuller-bodied, enveloping and intensely nourishing oil, ideal for dry, thick or heavily treated hairThe texture is thicker and the finish extremely glossy, with an iconic, persistent and recognizable fragrance, which contributes significantly to the overall sensory experience.
THEThe Beauty Dept honey oil, instead, follows a different and more functional philosophy. The light silicone base combined with more delicate vegetable oils such as grape seed, sunflower, buriti and linseed makes the decidedly more fluid and drier textureHoney is present as an extract, which has an emollient and softening effect, but without weighing down the hair fiber. During use, I noticed that it absorbs quickly, tames the hair and gives immediate shine without leaving an oily residue, making it particularly suitable for fine hair or for those who want a product to use every day.
In short, while Gisou's honey oil acts as a truly nourishing and sensorial treatment, designed for hair requiring an intense supply of lipids, The Beauty Dept oil represents a valid, lighter and more accessible alternative, ideal as a finishing, anti-frizz, or daily illuminating oil. Two products inspired by honey, but designed for different targets, routines, and needs.
Since I have very dry hair, I've always used Gisou oil, but I'm also really enjoying The Beauty Dept oil, which I find more suitable for daily use. It doesn't leave any residue and never weighs down my fine, thin hair!
Hair Mist with Honey – Hair Perfume (50 ml)
My experience
La Hair mist It is the most sensorial product of the set. It is easily sprayed on dry hair and leaves a sweet, warm and clean scent, ideal for refreshing hair throughout the day.
I've also used it often after styling: it's non-sticky, doesn't make my hair too wet, and doesn't alter my style. Plus, it gives a subtle sensation of softness and shine.
Feelings and results
Perfect for those who love to keep their hair smelling great, especially during the colder months or when you're out and about. Also great for neutralizing external odors (smoke, cooking, smog).
I really appreciated that when I sprayed the mist, I could feel a wonderful sensation of softness in my hair. A softness that doesn't disappear immediately but lingers for hours and hours. Really interesting for a low-cost product!
The formula
This hair mix with honey has a formulation that is halfway between a hair perfume and a light cosmetic treatment for the lengths. In particular, I would point out the presence of:
- Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride ed Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil They help make hair softer and shinier
- Honey Extract contributes to a cosmetic softening effect
- Diethylhexyl Syringylidenemalonate It is a modern antioxidant that helps protect the fiber from oxidation
Overall it is a scented and polishing mist, ideal for refreshing hair during the day, delicately perfuming it and giving it a touch of shine, but not meant to nourish or repair.

Hair Mask with Honey – Nourishing Hair Mask (50 ml)
My experience
The mask was the real surprise of the set. the consistency is very creamy, almost dense but not heavyEasy to apply and rinse. I applied it after shampooing, leaving it on for about half an hour. You can also leave it on for just five minutes, as recommended by the brand, but I always prefer more.
Already after rinsing the hair looks softer and silkier to the touch, knot-free. Once dry, hair appears visibly more nourished, shiny, and easy to comb, without losing volume.
At Action you can also find the Plex Care 3 Bonding Complex Hair Mask from Action which I recommend to you as it is effective and low cost!
Feelings and results
This mask works well even on fine hair, nourishing it without weighing it down. It's perfect as a quick treatment, especially when traveling or after exposure to cold, wind, or sun.
The formula
This mask is the most functional product in the set in the sense that it provides deep nourishment, making hair decidedly soft and shiny. The formula is clearly oriented towards a disciplining and smoothing cosmetic effect, thanks to the presence of:
- Dimethicone e amodimethicone, silicones that envelop the hair, reduce frizz and increase shine
- Behentrimonium Chloride, a cationic conditioner that is very effective in detangling and making hair silky
The hydrating part is entrusted to glycerin XNUMX% e trehalose, a sugar known for its ability to retain hydration, while Butyrospermum parkii butter (shea butter) provides nourishment and softness, especially on drier lengths.
Honey, in this formula, it is not the main asset but contributes to the softening and cosmetic effect of the product, together with the warm and enveloping fragrance. The mask is in fact designed for make hair instantly softer, smoother and shinierIt is not intended to be a deep repair treatment but a nourishment booster to help improve the appearance of hair.

After seeing your article, I ran to Action to see if they could find the set because I'm a fan of Gisou's honey hair oil. I found it! I bought three sets to be sure, and I'm really happy with them. The spray leaves my hair super soft, the mask is small but works really well. I hope they make a full size. The hair oil is my favorite product. Nourishing yet light, it leaves my hair manageable and never weighed down. I also use it before braiding, leaving them on all night, and in the morning my curls are super shiny but not greasy. Amazing, a top product at a ridiculous price!
Hahaha Rosina, I know you now! I had no doubt you'd like it! I'm always amazed by the quality of these products... I'm truly speechless. And this set is special. The oil lasts forever. How nice it would be to have a full-size shampoo and mask. I love the coconut ones, I buy them all the time and they're just as good as much more expensive products. They leave my hair soft, light, and silky! Hugs!
