Brand Review: Virtue

New day comes with a new blog post. I noticed that while I like taking care of my hair, I don't talk a lot about hair products, so today I'll review Virtue (link). This brand offers shampoos and conditioners as well as correcting and styling products. I'm going to review 5 of Virtue products and share my opinion about them.


Recovery Shampoo* (link) is pretty liquidy, but it does a great job at hydrating and repairing hair. It doesn't have rich texture/feel, but a little goes a long way and nourishes hair well. While it restores moisture to the hair, it doesn't weight it down and doesn't lave heavy/oily feel. I have very fine hair and I like this shampoo a lot.

Recovery Conditioner* (link) is also nice, but it's not a staple in my shower. This conditioner is light enough to not overweight the hair, but it's heavy enough to nourish my ends. I only apply conditioners to the ends of my hair, so I prefer something a little heavier. This Virtue conditioner is in the middle between heavy and light conditioners. It would be a nice everyday conditioner for any hair type. 


When I think about hair serums, I usually imagine one in the form of oil or at least some other liquid. As you can see from the photo Perfect Ending Split End Serum* (link) is pretty hard and keeps its form. However, once rubbed between hands it softens up and is easy to apply to the ends. The serum makes hair soft, manageable, frizz free and doesn't leave any heaviness/oiliness. A little goes a long way, but if you need more, you can always build it up on the hair. 


One For All 6-in-1 Styler* (link) is light in texture. It is easy to apply to the hair. I apply it from mid length to the ends and after brushing my hair out I leave it to air dry. My hair is left very soft and shiny. It doesn't feel heavy in the hair and doesn't leave any stickiness or residue. 


I don't use hairspray or mousse, but I tried out this Uplifted Volumizing Whip* (link). The foam comes out pretty thick and keeps its shape. I applied a bit to my damp hair and used my hands to create small waves in my hair. It worked well even though Virtue recommends using 6-in-1 Styler with this mousse for fine hair.
