Bumble and Bumble’s Invisible Oil is a hairdresser and salon-inspired product designed to get rid of all of your frizz, split-ends, and detangle your hair even on your most fussy and unruly days.
Or those days it’s just been way too long since you’ve had a cut or trim.
Even with very long hair that’s been color-treated in almost every way possible and is prone to getting unruly, and frankly, rather messy at times, I was amazed to see what two small pumps of this lightweight oil did for my hair after a friend insisted I try it out (hint) one day did for erasing split ends and making my hair look smooth and shiny with no grease.
Before we begin, make sure you’re ordering Bumble and Bumble from a legitimate retailer, NOT from a counterfeit seller. For your convenience, here is the Amazon link to an authentic Bumble and Bumble retailer.
Made of all natural oils and with a fresh clean scent, Bumble and Bumble’s Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil can tame your locks even if they’re treated, you use hot tools, or if your hair is really damaged.
While the product seemed perfect I wondered if it was worth the splurge and gave it a full test first and review first, so you wouldn’t have to.
Review: Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil
Bumble and Bumble’s Invisible Oil is a 3.4-ounce treatment oil designed to repair and treat unruly and frizzy hair, split ends, and provide heat and UV protection, helping those with color-treated hair types maintain hold and prolong vibrancy.
It can be used a few different ways and while it is safe for all different hair types, it tends to work the best for those with wavy-thicker or curly hair, those with color-treated hair types, and those looking to tame frizz, unruly locks, and restore shine and softness to the hair.
With that said, if you just want a more polished look and hair straight or normal hair, this is not at all greasy or sticky and won’t weigh your hair down.
The first time I tried it for split ends, they went away using only a drop or two instantly on dry hair.
If you’re comparison shopping for other hair products for color-treated or damaged locks, we also recommend Pureology’s Shampoo and Conditioner!
If you’re in need of care for the body, we recommend reading our review on Aveeno’s Daily Moisturizing Lotion.
The second time I tried out this invisible (magical?) oil, I used it on damp hair, which tends to be a bit more absorbing, and after styling, my hair was much more polished, shiny, and lacked a frizzy appearance.
It also always feels soft and nourishing to use, and leaves your hair looking shiny and more vibrant, without any tacky or sticky feelings.
My favorite part of this oil, other than the added heat and UV protection benefits, is the fact that even if you have extremely long or thick hair, the product still lasts months.
So while it is a bit of a splurge for the category, it ends up really feeling worth your investment, because it simply works better than any drugstore brand product I have tried in the past and lasts for so much longer without every drying out or damaging your hair.
Extra hint? I loved using it after Lush’s R&B Hair Moisturizer, as it made my hair feel silky soft every time.

Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Pros and Cons
Here are some pros and cons to bear in mind prior to purchase with Bumble and Bumble’s Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil:
Pros
- Safe for all hair types including color-treated, keratin treated, and the most super damaged (also safe for straight, wavy, curly, coiled, and tightly coiled)
- Free of all parabens, sulfates, and harsh chemical additives and made with only all natural oils designed to smoothen and soften the hair
- Bumble and Bumble’s Invisible Oil can be used on wet or dry hair, to detangle, smooth out the hair for a more polished look, or simply add shine and texture
- Can be used on the ends of the hair to cover up the appearance of split ends with a single treatment (on dry hair), even if it’s been a long time since you’ve had a cut or trim
- Has a very lightweight texture that never leaves the hair feeling or looking greasy after use, or weighed down (even if you have straight hair)
- Excellent gift giving option
- Even for longer or dry hair types, an extremely small amount of product is needed for use: with extremely dry hair two small pumps are enough to condition my entire head of hair when wet, and a tiny pump is more than enough to conceal any split ends
- Can tame frizz and flyaways even on the top of the head by running the product through the hands and adding a tiny amount to the scalp area without it appearing greasy at all
- Works extremely well for medium-thick and curly hair types, especially in making hair appear more shiny and polished
- Product shelf-life- while this is definitely a splurge, it lasts for months even with everyday use for long and very thick hair types, as a very small amount of product is needed for use
- Helps prevent against heat damage if you use styling tools and products, as well UV damage from the sun
- Helps maintain color hold for those with color-treated hair types, with protecting factors in the formula designed to shield and protect color, while adding vibrancy
- Makes your hair feel incredibly smooth and soft for an easy detangling process after shampooing/conditioning
- The Amazon (verified) product is sold for $10 less than Sephora and other luxury merchants
- Never leaves the hair feeling sticky or crunchy, even if you accidentally use too much
- Has an extremely subtle fresh scent but not too much odor at all, for those sensitive to fragrance
Cons
- The single only con with this product I could find is the price point, at $36 it is definitely a splurge for most of us, however it lasts so long (even for the longest, most dry, and thickest hair types) and has so many benefits that it seems well worth the cost, and has performed better than any drugstore product I have tried- also with drugstore products at 1/3 of the price, I have found myself needing 3 times the amount of product, and not getting the same results/benefits with use, so it feels worth it over time
