In Partnership With Virtue
Fun fact: Virtue’s celebrity-loved healing hair oil happens to be one of my favourite hair oils for silkier, shinier and stronger hair (in fact, after using it for the first time, my hair stayed shiny for days).
Their Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner? A crowd favourite in the Adore Beauty office, and their Virtue Flourish range for thinning hair also has a devoted fan club.
It’s no surprise really. Backed by celebrities like Jennifer Garner as well as professional hairstylists and powered by the brand’s signature Alpha Keratin 60ku® protein, each Virtue haircare formula is designed to repair hair from the inside out.
Now, the brand is turning its attention to the root of great hair (literally) - the scalp.
Their newest launch? An overnight scalp and hair serum that promises to restore strength, balance and hydration all while you get your beauty sleep.
If you’re looking for a dry scalp treatment or a dry scalp remedy, this new Virtue scalp treatment might just be your long-awaited answer.
Given how daily aggressors like the sun, sea and daily grime build up can wreak havoc on hair health, I was excited to find out more about this overnight scalp serum and its promise to help restore hair and scalp health.
What Is The Virtue Overnight Scalp & Hair Elixir?
Virtue has often been the insider’s pick for salon-quality haircare that the people love.
Now, in response to the growing focus on scalp health (a healthy scalp is essential for healthy hair), we think their latest scalp serum innovation will be just as loved.
As the brand says, “Consider this your crash course in better hair by morning 💁♀️”
Your new nightstand bestie, here’s what else you need to know about this new hair serum that works magic on your hair and scalp while you catch your nightly zzz’s:
- A silky, lightweight, night hair serum that rebalances the scalp’s delicate ecosystem and restores hair’s strength and vitality overnight
- Works to strengthen, soften and restore shine and nourish strands while you sleep
- Is formulated with Virtue’s signature hero ingredient: Alpha Keratin 60ku® (a protein 100% bio-identical to the keratin naturally found in your hair and scalp)
Ask any trichologist and they will tell you that just like your facial skin, your scalp also has a microbiome that needs to be taken care of to help promote healthy hair.
Most of us probably don't even realise our scalps have been dealing with more than we think, quietly begging for a rebalancing and nourishing serum like this one.
Virtue Overnight Scalp & Hair Elixir Ingredients:
With the Skinification of hair becoming a welcome new trend, this powerful hair scalp serum is infused with a host of skincare-like ingredients such as:
- Charged Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates hair
- Peptide Blend: A clinical-grade blend that help fortify hair
- Olive-Derived Ceramide: A multifunctional ceramide to help boost hair health

Mini Virtue Overnight Scalp & Hair Elixir Review and First Impressions
The recent humidity and rain combo in Sydney has made for the perfect storm of insane frizz and flyaways on my head as well as a more-annoyed-than-usual scalp, so I first wanted to try this almost as a soothing, softening product.
The texture - silky, the scent - heavenly, the feel - fast-absorbing. The sleekness and softness of my hair felt almost instant.
I’m also a huge fan of a hair treatment I can leave in overnight to REALLY absorb all the goodness and power of its hardworking ingredients.
Just as promised, there was no sign of greasiness when I first applied or on my pillow the next day - brilliant.
Below, Adore Beauty's Beauty Editor Fran's thoughts on the new Virtue hair serum...
Fran, Beauty Editor:
"I apply a dropper’s worth before bed and let it do its thing overnight. By morning, my scalp feels calm, balanced, and my hair looks less frazzled. It smells softly botanical and melts into the scalp without feeling oily."
We've all seen Fran's gorgeous locks, so whatever haircare products she's using, I'm definitely paying attention!
Final Thoughts...
Giving my scalp and hair the same amount of care and treatment I give my skin has become a huge priority in my beauty routine, and with so many haircare brands (like Virtue) now crafting excellent scalp-boosting treatments, it makes it much easier.
