Skincare has its double cleanse and its Sunday mask. Hair, for most of us, gets a quick shampoo and whatever is left in the bottle. Sisley’s Hair Rituel line is built on a simple idea that we like a great deal: the scalp is skin, and treating it with the same care is where good-looking hair starts.
This is our weekly version. Four products, one order of operations and one evening a week, ideally a Sunday, when there is nowhere to be afterward. The elegant version, made doable.

A gentle, purifying everyday shampoo with a fresh herbal scent.

Precious Hair Care Oil, 100 ml
A lightweight finishing oil for lengths and ends, the bottle we would leave out on the counter.
- Key ingredients
- Moringa, shea, passion fruit and cottonseed oils.
- What the brand says
- Nourishes and smooths the hair, tames flyaways and gives an intense, glassy shine without weighing fine hair down. For all hair types.

- Warm 2 to 3 drops between your palms and smooth from mid-lengths to ends: on damp hair before blow-drying, or on dry hair as a finish at any time of day.
The ritual, step by step
- 10 minutes
Clay on dry hair
Brush out any tangles. Part the hair into sections and run the nozzle of the Pre-Shampoo Purifying Mask (opens in a new tab) along each parting, then massage with the pads of your fingers. Set a timer for 10 minutes and use them: lay out a fresh towel, light a candle, put the kettle on.
- 5 minutes
One gentle wash
Rinse the clay thoroughly, then wash with the Gentle Purifying Shampoo (opens in a new tab). Lukewarm water, slow fingertip circles, a long rinse.
- Optional · 5 minutes
A mask, if your lengths need it
If your ends are dry, apply the Intense Nutrition Hair Care Mask (opens in a new tab) to damp lengths, leave it for 5 minutes and rinse. If not, use your usual conditioner.
- 2 minutes
Serum on the scalp
Towel-dry gently. Apply three droppers of the Super Serum (opens in a new tab) across the scalp from the temples back, and massage it in. No rinsing.
- 1 minute
Three drops to finish
Warm 2 to 3 drops of the Precious Hair Care Oil (opens in a new tab) between your palms and smooth over the mid-lengths and ends, then blow-dry or let it air-dry.
Who it’s for, and when
Anyone whose scalp feels heavy from dry shampoo, styling products or city air, and anyone who wants fuller-looking, glossier hair without adding weight. The clay is gentle enough for sensitive scalps, according to Sisley; the oil is made for every hair type.
The clay-and-shampoo reset once a week. The serum on its own schedule: every other day for a month, then twice a week. The oil whenever you like, including as a finish on second-day hair.
The Intense Nutrition Hair Care Mask, 190 ml
A rich, five-minute mask for dry to very dry lengths. The optional step in this ritual.
- Key ingredients
- Coconut, meadowfoam, moringa, macadamia and shea oils with kokum butter, a ceramide analogue and baobab proteins.
- What the brand says
- Intense nourishment in five minutes, for visibly softer, shinier, stronger-looking hair.
- How to use
- All over damp hair after shampoo. Leave for 5 minutes. Rinse carefully.
