Achieving and maintaining healthy hair as we age can be challenging, but actress Jennifer Garner is opening up about the routine she swears by—including a hair elixir she credits with encouraging growth.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, more than half of women experience noticeable hair loss, particularly after the age of 40. Causes range from stress, hormonal changes, and vitamin deficiencies to chemical treatments and genetics. Menopause can also contribute to thinning hair, making effective hair care routines increasingly important.
Overnight Hair Care
Garner’s nighttime routine centers on Virtue Labs products, starting with the Virtue Overnight Scalp & Hair Elixir. The leave-in serum, infused with lavender, chamomile, and sandalwood, is designed to repair damage while you sleep.
“It’s like skincare for your face, except for the top of your head,” Garner explained. “It gives your hair resilience, it encourages your hair to grow. When you wake up, your scalp will thank you.”
She follows this with Virtue Flourish Density Booster, which supports hair growth and can be applied to wet or dry hair. To finish, Garner braids her hair loosely before bed, allowing the products to absorb overnight.
Morning Hair Care
In the morning, Garner showers with Virtue Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner, which aim to repair damaged hair by removing buildup and replenishing it with bio-identical keratin protein.
“You will tell a difference in the strength, in the fullness, the suppleness, the health of your hair with the very first shower,” she said.
Before styling, she applies Virtue Damage Reverse Serum, formulated to prevent future hair damage rather than simply mask it. This is followed by Virtue 6-in-1 Styler, which enhances softness, shine, and strength while providing heat protection for blow-drying.
Finally, Garner finishes her routine with a small amount of Virtue Healing Oil, which moisturizes, strengthens, and protects hair. “This super lightweight oil is truly everyone’s favorite,” she said. “It smells like heaven.”
By sharing her routine, Garner provides a roadmap for women seeking simple yet effective strategies to maintain healthy, resilient hair as they age.
