Curly and coily hair of any pattern that needs shine, softness and curl separation after styling, or a quick moisture boost on dry days between washes. Matrix says it won't weigh curls and coils down.

It can also be used on the scalp and skin. A retail product for home use.

After a cream and gel, curls can dry a little stiff or dull. A few pumps of this oil worked through dry hair break the cast, separate the curls and bring back shine, and because it is silicone-free it doesn't leave the kind of coating that builds up between wash days. It is also one of the few curl oils Matrix clears for use on the scalp.

1. After the Shampoo or Co-Wash and Rich Mask, style with the Moisturizing Cream and Light Hold Gel.
2. Work several pumps of oil into your hands and apply to hair from root to tip.
3. Allow to air dry or diffuse. For the softest finish, Matrix recommends applying it on dry hair.
4. Use daily as needed; it can also be applied to the scalp and skin.

Pros:

• Silicone-free blend of five plant oils
• Softens the cast left by gel and adds shine
• Can be used daily and on the scalp
• Vegan formula, per Matrix

Cons:

• An oil, not a moisturizer on its own: it works best over a cream or leave-in
• Too much can leave fine curls looking greasy
• Contains fragrance allergens such as linalool and citral
