[UNOVE] Silk Oil Hair Essence 70ml
Product Overview
A lightweight finishing hair essence designed to provide smoothness, softness, shine and conditioning care for dry, rough, frizz-prone or damaged-looking hair.
The formula combines a silicone-based smoothing system with argan oil, sea buckthorn oil, moringa seed oil, camellia seed oil, sunflower seed oil and olive fruit oil, alongside hydrolyzed silk, hydrolyzed keratin, plant proteins, amino acids and ceramide NP.
Within the Glass Ritual Glass Hair Collection, this occupies the finishing and smoothing stage of the ritual, helping give conditioned hair a softer, more polished appearance.
Why We Chose It
We chose the UNOVE Silk Oil Hair Essence because the final stage of a hair ritual has a different purpose from shampoo, a rinse-out mask or a leave-in treatment.
Its silicone-rich base provides immediate slip and smoothing, while its blend of plant oils provides additional emollient conditioning.
The formula goes beyond a simple finishing oil by incorporating hydrolyzed keratin, hydrolyzed silk, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, silk amino acids and an extensive amino-acid complex.
Ceramide NP, phospholipids, phytosphingosine and phytosterols provide additional lipid-based conditioning support.
This makes it particularly useful for hair that looks rough, dull or frizzy after drying and styling.

Who It's For
Consider this essence if your hair is:
- Dry
- Rough
- Frizz-prone
- Dull-looking
- Tangled
- Coloured or bleached
- Chemically treated
- Frequently heat styled
- Damaged-looking through the lengths and ends
- In need of additional smoothness and shine
Those with fine hair can begin with a very small amount and concentrate application primarily on the ends.
How to Use
Apply an appropriate amount to clean damp or dry hair.
Concentrate application on the mid-lengths and ends, particularly areas that feel dry, rough or frizzy.
Distribute evenly through the hair.
Do not rinse.
Begin with a small amount and add more only where necessary to avoid weighing down finer hair.
Ritual Position
Shampoo → Hair Mask/Conditioner → Leave-In Treatment → Dry/Style → UNOVE Silk Oil Hair Essence
This occupies the final smoothing and shine stage of the Glass Hair ritual.
Glass Ritual Pairing
A complete UNOVE ritual could be:
UNOVE Hydrating Shampoo → UNOVE Hydrating Hair Mask → UNOVE No-Wash Treatment → Dry/Style → UNOVE Silk Oil Hair Essence
Each product performs a different job. The shampoo cleanses. The mask provides intensive rinse-out conditioning. The No-Wash Treatment provides leave-in conditioning. The Silk Oil Hair Essence provides the finishing layer for smoothness, softness and shine.
It can also be used independently on dry hair when the ends need additional polish.
Glass Ritual Principle: Finish where the hair needs finishing. Don't coat healthy areas simply because damaged areas need more care.
