Sleekeazy’s Hair Potion

Used to style hair.

History and Notes

Fleamont Potter, father of James and grandfather of Harry Potter, "quadrupled the family gold" by inventing Sleekeazy's Hair Potion (Pm). Potion-making must run in the family, since his illustrious ancestor Linfred of Stinchcombe invented the Pepperup Potion and Skele-Gro (Pm). This explains the vast pile of galleons in the Potter family vault at Gringott's bank (PS5).

References from the canon

  • Hermione used this to style her hair for the Yule Ball (GF24)
  • c.f. Lockhart dreamed of one day selling his own line of hair care potions (CS6).

Commentary

Notes

A label for Sleekeazy's Hair Potion was included in the Harry Potter Wizard Collection label set. The label was apparently designed as a movie prop, so it's value as canon is questionable, but it reads as follows:

Hair Potion and Scalp Treatment Suitable for All Types of Hair. Unique Results for Gingers.

Ingredients: Gomas Barbardensis, Asian Dragon Hair, Petroleum Jelly
