&honey Hair Oil is not one oil with five different labels. The current YUBI100 product page offers five variants, ranging from the core Deep Moist and shine-focused options to richer moisture and repair-positioned bottles. The practical way to choose is to compare the finish named by the manufacturer, the scent, and how much weight your own hair can comfortably take.
This updated guide covers the five variants currently shown on the &honey Hair Oil product page, explains what the shared ingredient information can and cannot tell you, and gives a more reliable way to apply hair oil in dry or humid weather. YUBI100 has not personally tested these oils, so texture and finish descriptions below are limited to current manufacturer statements and verified store information.

Quick answer: which &honey Hair Oil should you choose?
| YUBI100 variant | Manufacturer or store positioning | Scent information | Start here if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deep Moist Hair Oil 3.0 | The official &honey Deep page says it adds shine and smooth control | Damask Rose Honey | You want the core Deep option rather than the lightest-looking or richest-sounding variant |
| Moist Shine Hair Oil 3.0 | The official page emphasizes a glossy finish | Fairy Rose Honey | Visible shine is your first selection priority |
| EX DeepMoist Hair Oil 3.0 | The official page describes hair being wrapped in deep moisture | Grand Rose Honey | You want the richest moisture positioning within the Deep lineup |
| Melty Moisty Rich Hair Oil 3.0 | A Melty/rich option on the current YUBI100 selector | Check the exact bottle and package | Your main concern is a richer Melty-style finish |
| Deep Moist Repair Oil 3.0 | A repair-positioned option on the current YUBI100 selector | Check the exact bottle and package | You want the repair-labelled choice and have confirmed the bottle shown for the variant |
For the first three oils, the current official &honey Deep lineup gives clear product and scent descriptions. The two repair/rich variants use the names currently displayed by YUBI100; because &honey has several overlapping Deep, Melty and damage-care families, the bottle image and label are the final reference for the exact item selected. Do not choose only by bottle color.
What &honey Hair Oil is
&honey is a Japanese haircare brand built around honey-themed moisture care. The brand sells shampoos, treatments, hair packs, oils and styling products across several families. “3.0” is used for the hair-oil step in the brand’s numbered routine; it is part of the product name, not a claim that the oil is a newer software-like version.
Hair oil is a leave-in finishing step. It does not replace shampoo, conditioner or a rinse-out treatment. Its role in a routine is to help coat and condition the lengths, improve slip and support a smoother-looking finish. The current YUBI100 usage information says to towel-dry the hair, spread an appropriate amount in the hands, apply mainly through the hair, and finish while blow-drying. That makes damp-hair use the safest starting point for a first purchase.
All five oils are grouped on one active product page rather than being sold as five separate products. At the time of this update, each selector option had inventory. Availability can change, so use the live selector as the final reference rather than assuming every bottle is always in stock.
The five &honey Hair Oil types
1. &honey Deep Moist Hair Oil 3.0
Deep Moist Hair Oil 3.0 is the most straightforward entry point. The current official Deep lineup describes it as a honey oil that gives hair shine and smooth control. It is listed at 100mL and has a Damask Rose Honey scent, with Bulgarian damask rose referenced by the brand.
Choose this when you want the core Deep formula rather than making your decision around maximum shine or the richest moisture wording. It is also the easiest baseline if you are new to &honey: use a small amount, observe the finish after drying, and adjust the next application. If it feels heavier than you want, reduce the amount before changing products. If it does not give enough finish to the ends, compare EX DeepMoist rather than applying a large amount near the roots.
The phrase “smooth control” is manufacturer positioning. It does not guarantee that the oil will change curl pattern, repair split ends permanently or perform identically on fine, coarse, straight, wavy or chemically treated hair. Hair density, porosity, climate and application amount can all change the result.
2. &honey Moist Shine Hair Oil 3.0
Moist Shine Hair Oil 3.0 is the shine-first choice in the official Deep lineup. The manufacturer says its melting honey oil gives hair a luxurious shine. It is listed at 100mL and has a Fairy Rose Honey scent associated with French Centifolia rose.
Select Moist Shine when gloss is more important to you than choosing the most moisture-heavy name. That does not automatically mean it is “for fine hair” or that it is lighter than every other bottle; the official product page describes the intended finish but does not provide a universal hair-type rule. If your hair becomes flat easily, begin with very little and keep the product below the ear line. If your hair is dense or long, distribute the product across several sections rather than placing the full amount on one area.
This option can also work as a dry-hair finisher, but dry-hair application makes excess easier to see. Rub a minimal amount across both palms and fingertips, touch the ends first, and use only the residue for the surface. Adding shine does not require coating the scalp.
3. &honey EX DeepMoist Hair Oil 3.0
EX DeepMoist is the richest-sounding option within the three oils clearly documented on the official Deep page. The manufacturer describes it as a melting honey oil that wraps each strand in deep moisture. The 100mL product is associated with a Grand Rose Honey scent and South American wild rose extract in the brand’s scent description.
Choose this when the ends feel rough and you prefer the strongest moisture positioning in the Deep group. The word “EX” is part of the product name; it should not be interpreted as a medical, permanent-repair or objectively superior claim. A richer finish can be useful on dense, coarse or frequently styled lengths, but the correct amount still depends on the individual.
If you use EX DeepMoist on damp hair, start at the ends and work upward only as far as necessary. If the roots become oily quickly, keep a clear distance from the scalp. A richer oil applied carefully can look more balanced than a supposedly lighter oil applied too generously.
4. &honey Melty Moisty Rich Hair Oil 3.0
The YUBI100 selector currently calls this variant Melty Moisty Rich Hair Oil 3.0. &honey’s official Melty family is positioned around dryness and the appearance of waves or unruly movement, and the official Japanese lineup includes Moist Repair Hair Oil 3.0 options. Because translated store names and official subvariant names can overlap, confirm the bottle shown in the selector before ordering.
This is the variant to investigate when the Melty family interests you more than the core Deep family. Make the choice for its family and finish direction, not because the word “Rich” proves a specific ingredient concentration. The exact on-pack ingredient list is the correct source for allergies, sensitivities and formula-specific questions.
For use, treat it as a leave-in oil: apply sparingly to towel-dried mid-lengths and ends, distribute evenly and dry. If you want more control after drying, add only a trace to the ends. Avoid turning a rich finish into root buildup by repeatedly adding product to the top layer.
5. &honey Deep Moist Repair Oil 3.0
Deep Moist Repair Oil 3.0 is the repair-labelled option on the current YUBI100 selector. &honey maintains multiple damage-care and moisture families, including Creamy and Melty products, so the selector image and bottle label should be checked before purchase. This guide does not assign a variant-specific ingredient list when the current store page presents one shared block for the full group.
Choose this option when you specifically want the repair-positioned bottle shown by YUBI100. Cosmetic “repair” language generally describes conditioning and improvement in the appearance or feel of damaged hair; it does not mean that split or broken fibers are permanently restored. Regular trimming, gentler heat use and a suitable wash-and-treatment routine still matter.
If damage is your main concern, use the oil as the final leave-in layer rather than asking it to do every job. An active rinse-out option such as the TSUBAKI Premium EX Repair Mask 180g can occupy a different step in the routine, while the oil is applied after towel drying.
How the five variants differ
| Decision question | Variant to compare first | Why | Caution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Do I want the core &honey Deep oil? | Deep Moist | It is the main shine-and-control option on the official Deep page | “Core” does not mean suitable for every hair type |
| Is visible gloss my priority? | Moist Shine | The official description centers on luxurious shine | Use sparingly if hair loses volume easily |
| Do I want the strongest moisture wording in the Deep group? | EX DeepMoist | The manufacturer describes deep moisture around each strand | Richer wording is not a reason to apply more |
| Do I prefer the Melty family? | Melty Moisty Rich | The store selector identifies it as the Melty/rich option | Confirm the exact bottle and official subvariant name |
| Do I want the repair-labelled store option? | Deep Moist Repair | It is the repair-positioned choice in the current selector | Check the package for the exact formula and scent |
If you remain undecided, choose between the first three using the official finish language: Deep Moist for the core balanced direction, Moist Shine for shine, and EX DeepMoist for deeper moisture positioning. Treat Melty Moisty Rich and Deep Moist Repair as label-specific options that deserve an extra image and package check before checkout.
&honey Hair Oil ingredients: what the current list tells us
The active YUBI100 product page displays a shared ingredient block for the grouped variants. It includes cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone, hydrogenated polyisobutene, palm oil, honey and honey-derived materials, argan kernel oil, panthenol, honey ferment, wool-derived keratin, propolis extract, ceramides, hydrolyzed silk, glycerin, tocopherol, cholesterol, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, phenoxyethanol, water and fragrance, among other materials.
That list is useful for understanding the broad structure shown by the store, but it should not be treated as proof that every variant has an identical INCI list or identical order. Formulas can differ by family, renewal and market. If you need to avoid a specific ingredient, read the package for the exact bottle you receive before use.
| Ingredient group shown on the store page | What it generally contributes in a hair oil | What not to assume |
|---|---|---|
| Cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone | Slip, spreadability and a smoother-feeling surface | That every variant uses the same amount or feels equally light |
| Honey, honey extract and hydrolyzed honey extract | The honey-themed conditioning and moisture story central to the brand | That honey percentage claims apply identically to every ingredient or bottle |
| Argan kernel oil and palm-derived oil materials | Emollient components that support shine and conditioning | That the product is a pure plant oil |
| Keratin, hydrolyzed silk and ceramides | Conditioning materials used in damage-care formulas | Permanent reconstruction of split or broken hair |
| Fragrance | The rose- and honey-themed scent experience described by the brand | That every variant has the same scent |
Does &honey Hair Oil contain silicones?
The shared ingredient block currently shown on YUBI100 lists cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone. Those are silicones commonly used to provide slip and surface conditioning in hair products. Anyone specifically avoiding silicones should check the exact package rather than relying on general “natural,” “organic” or honey-themed branding.
Is it pure argan oil or pure honey oil?
No. &honey Hair Oil is a formulated cosmetic with multiple conditioning, emollient, fragrance and preservation components. Honey and argan oil appear in the store’s ingredient information, but the product should not be interpreted as a bottle of single-ingredient argan oil or honey.
Are all five ingredient lists identical?
Do not assume so. The five selector options span more than one &honey family and may reflect formula or scent differences. Use the on-pack list for the exact variant as the final reference, especially for fragrance sensitivity, allergies or ingredient exclusions.
How to use &honey Hair Oil
On towel-dried hair
- After washing, towel-dry until hair is damp rather than dripping.
- Dispense a small amount into one palm. The correct starting amount varies with length, density and variant, so avoid a rigid pump count.
- Rub both palms and fingertips together to create a thin, even film.
- Apply to the ends first, then distribute through the mid-lengths.
- Keep the product away from the scalp unless the package specifically instructs otherwise.
- Comb through gently if needed and blow-dry in sections.
- Judge the amount only after the hair is fully dry. Add less or more next time.
This order reduces the risk of placing too much product on the visible top layer. Applying directly to one patch can make even an appropriate total amount look greasy. Distribution is just as important as quantity.
On dry hair
Use much less than you would on damp hair. Spread a trace across the palms, press it into the driest ends, and use what remains to smooth the surface. Do not add another full application simply because a few flyaways remain. A styling stick or light holding product may be better suited to isolated flyaways than repeated layers of oil.
Before heat styling
The product page supports use before blow-drying, but this article does not claim a specific heat-protection temperature. If you regularly use high-temperature irons, check the exact package for heat-protection directions and use the lowest effective tool setting. Hair oil should not be treated as permission to increase heat.
How to correct over-application
If the hair looks oily after drying, first brush or comb gently to redistribute the product. A small amount of dry shampoo at the roots may help when the oil was placed too high, but it will not remove a heavily coated length. The reliable fix is to use less next time and begin at the ends. If the hair is substantially over-coated, washing may be the cleanest solution.
Building a complete routine around the oil
Leave-in oil works best when each product in the routine has one job. Cleanse the scalp and lengths without repeatedly scrubbing the ends, use a rinse-out conditioner or treatment, towel-dry gently, then apply the oil. The active TSUBAKI Moist & Repair Shampoo / Conditioner page offers a wash-step comparison, while the TSUBAKI Premium EX Repair Mask is a rinse-out treatment step.
If &honey feels too rich or you want a different family structure, compare the six active options on the Ululis Hair Essence 100mL page. Do not layer several oils at once when comparing them. Use one product consistently enough to understand the amount and finish, then change one variable at a time.
| Routine stage | Product type | Purpose | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Wash | Shampoo | Cleanse scalp and hair | Piling hair on top of the head and tangling the lengths |
| 2. Rinse-out care | Conditioner or mask | Condition before drying | Applying a mask every time without following its directions |
| 3. Towel dry | Soft towel | Remove excess water | Rubbing aggressively |
| 4. Leave-in care | &honey Hair Oil | Coat and condition mid-lengths and ends | Starting at the scalp or using too much |
| 5. Dry and finish | Dryer and optional tiny oil top-up | Complete the style | Adding a second full dose to dry hair |
Humidity & sweat resistance
&honey Hair Oil is not described here as waterproof or sweatproof. In humid weather, its practical value is as a conditioning and finishing layer, while the application strategy needs to account for moisture in the air and sweat at the scalp.
If humidity makes the lengths expand or look less polished, apply the oil evenly to damp mid-lengths and ends before blow-drying. Work in sections and dry the roots and lengths fully. Leaving hair partially damp can make it harder to judge how much oil you actually used.
If the scalp sweats easily, keep oil below the ear line and avoid repeatedly touching the roots with product-covered hands. Sweat and oil at the scalp can combine into a heavier appearance even when the ends need conditioning. Carrying the bottle for constant reapplication is usually unnecessary; a tiny amount on the ends is enough for a dry-hair top-up.
In Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and other hot or humid markets, begin with less than you would during a dry winter in Japan. Hair can behave differently as climate, water and styling habits change. Adjust amount and placement before deciding that the variant itself is wrong.
Getting it outside Japan
When ordering &honey Hair Oil internationally, check the live variant selector rather than searching only by bottle color. The same brand uses gold, pink, cream and other coordinated packaging across related families, while translated names may not exactly match the Japanese front label.
The active YUBI100 page groups all five current oils at one relative product path. Choose the variant by its full selector name and confirm the matching image. Inventory and availability can change after this article is updated.
| Before ordering | What to confirm | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Variant name | The complete selector label, not just “&honey oil” | Five oils share one store page |
| Bottle image | The label and bottle shown for the selected option | Brand families and translated names can overlap |
| Ingredient list | The package for the exact bottle received | Shared online lists may not capture every variant difference |
| Current stock | Availability of the exact variant | Haircare inventory changes over time |
| Destination checkout | Shipping method, local taxes and duties for your address | International charges vary by market and order |
We do not quote fixed USD, EUR or SGD prices because market pricing, exchange rates, shipping and import charges can change. Use the current product page and checkout for the total applicable to your destination. Keep liquid cosmetics sealed during travel and follow the carrier or airline rules that apply to your route.
Frequently asked questions
Which &honey Hair Oil is best?
There is no universal best variant. Deep Moist is the core shine-and-control choice, Moist Shine is the shine-first option, and EX DeepMoist has the richest moisture positioning in the official Deep lineup. Melty Moisty Rich and Deep Moist Repair are the rich/repair-labelled options on YUBI100; confirm their exact bottle labels before ordering.
Can I use &honey Hair Oil every day?
It is a leave-in cosmetic intended for regular haircare use, but the necessary frequency depends on your hair and wash routine. If buildup, flatness or an oily appearance develops, reduce the amount or frequency and keep the product farther from the roots.
Can I use it on dry hair?
Yes, as a small finishing amount. Use less than on towel-dried hair, apply to the ends first and stop before the lengths look coated. Damp-hair use remains the better starting point because it is the method shown on the current YUBI100 product page.
Does &honey Hair Oil contain silicone?
The shared ingredient block currently displayed by YUBI100 lists cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone. Check the on-pack list for the exact variant if silicone avoidance is important.
Can I apply it to my scalp?
The current store directions focus on applying through the hair after towel drying. For a cosmetic hair oil, mid-lengths and ends are the cautious default. Keeping it off the scalp also reduces the chance of a heavy root appearance.
Is &honey Hair Oil a heat protectant?
The product is directed for use before blow-drying, but this guide does not assign a heat-protection temperature or claim protection against every styling tool. Follow the exact bottle directions and use sensible heat settings.
Is the 3.0 number a version number?
It identifies the hair-oil step within &honey’s numbered routine. Shampoo is commonly presented as step 1.0, treatment as step 2.0 and hair oil as step 3.0.
Final verdict
Choose &honey Deep Moist Hair Oil 3.0 for the core Deep experience, Moist Shine for gloss-first manufacturer positioning, or EX DeepMoist for the richest moisture language in that lineup. Consider Melty Moisty Rich when you prefer the Melty family direction, and Deep Moist Repair when you want the repair-labelled bottle shown in the current selector.
The result depends as much on application as on the name. Start small, distribute through damp mid-lengths and ends, dry fully, and adjust only after seeing the finished hair. Verify the exact bottle and ingredient list at purchase, especially when choosing between overlapping &honey families.
