What do famous actress Jennifer Garner and I have in common?
It’s our love (actually obsession would be more accurate) for a hydrating hair oil that’s been called a ‘miracle in a bottle.’
The Virtue Healing Oil has been on my ‘must-try’ list ever since someone I once met at a beauty counter raved about how it completely remedied her brittle, straw-like ends.
If your hair is dry, damaged and a little lacklustre, then I’m about to change your hair's life.
After just one use, this nourishing hair oil gave me shinier, silkier and softer locks.
Nope I’m not kidding and yes, I have visual proof.
If you want salon-worthy hair all the time, then you need to add this magical hair salve to your haircare repertoire immediately.

Is Virtue Hair Care Good?
I’m surprised that more people don’t know how many excellent haircare products Virtue Labs has in their range.
Here are just a few of their standouts:
- VIRTUE Recovery Shampoo 240ml and VIRTUE Recovery Conditioner 200ml - This duo is responsible for many of the soft, swishy and caramel- scented manes in the Adore Beauty office.
- VIRTUE Flourish Density Booster 120ml - A daily treatment to support healthy hair growth and nourish the scalp.
- VIRTUE Un-Frizz Cream 120ml - Fights frizz, smooths and conditions. It also saved Beauty IQ co-host Hannah Furst’s holiday frizz.
One of the main ingredients that powers Virtue haircare products is their Alpha Keratin 60KU protein.
A first of its kind in hair care, its fortifying powers come from its ability to directly bind to damaged areas of the hair.
It also happens to be one of the star ingredients of the Virtue Healing Oil.

My Virtue Healing Oil Review.
The promise that this hair oil gives you instantly shinier, silkier and softer hair is not an exaggeration.
I applied it on damp after getting out of the shower and saw immediate results as soon as I blow-dried the first section of my hair.
As you can see in the pic above, my usually straw-looking ends were indeed shiny, sleek and oh-so-soft.
As was the rest of my hair once I finished blow-drying it. I also noticed I had way less frizz.
The scent does come on a little strong at first but settles into a light, coconutty dream once it’s worked through your hair.
I loved its non-greasy feel and that it didn’t weigh down my hair.
The best part?
My hair was still shiny and silky two days after washing and applying this oil (the delicious coconut smell was still lingering too).
Here's the two-day old pic:
I actually posted this picture on my Instagram stories teasing about a new hair oil I was road-testing and got so many DMs asking what this product was.
Final Verdict…
Is this the best hair oil? It’s pretty up there.
Knowing this is the secret weapon to Jennifer Garner’s lustrous locks (and also used by celebs like Reese Witherspoon, Anne Hathaway and Nicola Peltz) is one thing, but seeing the magic it worked on my thick, coarse and frizzy hair is another.
It’s a game-changer…
