Ever since I was a little girl, hair oils have been a part of my hair-care routine [1]. The night before I washed my hair, I would deep condition with a whole variety of Ayurvedic oils. They would leave my hair super soft and shiny and made it feel healthy. However, that's all I ever did, besides shampoo and condition. No leave-in, no serums, no heat protectant, nothing. As I got older and life's stressors took over, my hair started to feel the effects of my hair-care ignorance. The shine was gone, my hair became lackluster, and my frizz and flyaways flourished. It wasn't until fairly recently that I learned that hair care is a lot like skin care; it requires daily maintenance. Enter Playa's Ritual Hair Oil [2]. Keep reading for my full review.

The Playa Ritual Hair Oil [4] ($38) gave my hair a new life. It's an all-encompassing, lightweight hair oil that smooths frizz and flyaways, restores moisture, and protects against life and environmental stressors. The clean formula is made from the oils of kukui, apricot, and sunflower and filled with vitamins K and E. The cool thing about the formulation is that it also has antioxidants and lycopene, which protect against the sun and environmental damages. Just from the ingredients alone, the hair oil sounds more like a nourishing and protective face oil. The formula has all this goodness but does not weigh my hair down or make it look greasy. It truly just feels like my hair but better!

The hair oil can be used daily, on both damp or dry hair. After I wash my hair, I use a few drops of the oil on my damp hair and blow-dry as usual. Usually, I end up with a crown of flyaways and dry, frizzy ends, however, the Ritual Hair Oil left my hair silky smooth and tamed. I topped off my blowout with the Playa Ritual Hair Oil [5] ($38) as a finishing touch, and the shine came through! A few drops every day at the midshaft and down is all you need to nourish your hair and protect it.

The Playa Ritual Hair Oil [6] ($38) smells divine without being overpowering and potent. It's sultry and warm yet tropical and sweet. If Sex on a Beach was a scent, this is it. It coats your hair with a slight hint of fragrance without clashing with other scents.
