Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the BASED Hair Elixir different?

BASED Hair Elixir is engineered with premium oils including Meadowfoam Oil, Broccoli Seed Oil, Kahai Oil, and Mongongo Oil to nourish, seal, and protect without heavy buildup. Every ingredient is on the label.

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. 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?

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.

Can I use this on damp hair, dry hair, or both?

Both. The BASED Hair Elixir is incredibly versatile. Apply it to damp hair after showering to seal the cuticles and prepare for heat styling. Use it on dry hair throughout the day to tame frizz, add shine, or smooth flyaways. You can also apply it before blow-drying or using hot tools, utilizing its thermal & heat protection. It works whenever your hair needs it.

How long until I see results?

You'll notice instant results like improved shine & softness, frizz control, and color vibrancy from the very first use. The thermal & heat protection also works to help shield your hair while using high-heat styling and other external stress.

Does this protect against heat styling?

The BASED Hair Elixir provides thermal & heat protection from blow dryers, flat irons, and curling tools. The Meadowfoam and Buriti oils in our formula create a protective barrier that helps shield your hair from high temperatures. Apply it to damp hair before styling for best results.

Does this have synthetic fragrance or scent?

The BASED Hair Elixir is scented with our signature, naturally-derived Santal Sandalwood fragrance. You'll notice it subtly, and it will fade after application.

Can I use this with other hair products?

Absolutely, that's the point. It fits seamlessly with any hair routine. For curly & coily hair the BASED Hair Elixir is also perfect for scrunching out gel casts to reveal soft, defined curls with natural shine. Use it after washing and conditioning before styling products, or as a finishing touch after styling.

How long does one bottle last?

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.

What if it's not a fit for me?

Don't worry - that's why we created the BASED Guarantee. Most customers never need it, but if something isn't right, we've got you covered.

I’ve been trying to find something to break my gel cast for a long time and all the other products are just making my hair frizzy and look damaged and unhealthy. And I already had the based leave in conditioner, which is amazing so then I was like why not get the based hair elixer . and what do you know it made my curls look defined but dryed and amazing and they looked healthy and like moist.

The left photo shows the hair before using the Hair Elixir, and the right photo shows the result after application. There is a noticeable transformation between the two images. In the before picture, the hair appears somewhat flat, heavy, and lacking definition at the roots. After applying the elixir, the hair gains significant volume and texture, looking much thicker and fuller. The product effectively lifts the strands from the roots and beautifully defines the natural waves without leaving an...
