As a summer bride who’s getting married in Italy during the most humid month, I’m pretty worried about my hair. I don’t necessarily have frizz-prone locks, but excessive moisture doesn't do anything for it either. Thus, I’m already testing and looking for products that keep the flyaways at bay, add out-of-this-world shine, and give my flat, fine hair a boost of volume. In fact, I want my hair to look just like Nicole Kidman’s did at the 2024 Met Gala, so it's a good thing I know exactly how it was achieved.
Kidman was a vision when she stepped out at the annual first Monday in May celebration that called on guests to dress for the theme, “The Garden of Time.” Naturally, there were lots of florals, but the actress went with a black and white moment inspired by a 1951 Balenciaga design; “I consider it a sleeping beauty that's been brought back to life,” Kidman shared on the gala carpet. And a beauty—not sleeping!—she certainly was, with her long, shiny locks rounding out the look with ease.
The actress trusted celebrity hair pro Adir Abergel with her signature blonde ‘do, and according to a press release, the two discussed possible hair moments to match her Balenciaga gown via FaceTime (relatable!) The final direction? A hairstyle that played with retro-inspired volume but still felt modern—and, of course, lots of shine, which was made possible thanks to Virtue Lab’s famous Healing Oil.

Abergel did his thing, which included prepping the hair with Virtue’s Damage Reverse Serum that protected the hair against heat and damage; next, he blow dried the hair, combed through it with this game-changing $10 brush, added a few extension, created subtle waves with a flat iron, and topped it all of with Virtue’s must-have healing oil that added shine, tamed frizz, and, frankly, made her hair look like a million bucks.
As we know, hair oil is an essential in anyone’s hair care routine. But, hair oils vary drastically, so if you’re looking for a good one without having to test a bunch, look no further than Virtue’s, which is officially good enough to be used by pros, not to mention Jennifer Garner, a brand ambassador. Garner has praised this oil a myriad of times; she basically called it magic when she said it “fixes everything.”
So what’s the deal? Basically, this oil, which is lightweight and won’t weigh down hair nor cause greasiness, is made from the brand’s signature, game-changing Alpha Keratin 60ku, a protein that weaves together broken keratin strands for stronger, healthier looking locks. Its formula also included a blend of healing, hydrating ingredients, like Kalahari Melon seed oil that nurtures dry, brittle hair, and tahitian gardenia flower extract that strengthens.
Based on the overwhelmingly positive reviews on Amazon, shoppers agree this Virtue oil is “by far the best hair oil,” and makes your locks “feel like silk.” Sounds like it's exactly what I need for my Italian wedding hair, and if it’s good enough to use on Kidman’s Met Gala look, it’s good enough to use on my wedding day.
