How it works
The Silky Oil Serum is a hair treatment, used after shampooing, on hair towelled to damp rather than dripping. The antioxidant it is built around is Tocopherol, named eighteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Isopropyl Myristate, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil and Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, so the antioxidant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Tocopherol stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the hair treatment format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the hair treatment Curly Shyll sells in Korea, Tocopherol and all.

Key actives
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. On this hair treatment's own ingredient list it is named eighteenth.
Isopropyl Myristateemollient
It is known to be poorly suited to blemish-prone skin at higher levels. It is named sixth on this hair treatment's list, alongside Tocopherol.
Argania Spinosa Kernel Oilemollient
Argan Oil is pressed from the argan kernel and is rich in oleic and linoleic acids plus vitamin E. It is a medium-weight emollient that absorbs reasonably fast. The panel names it eighth on this hair treatment's list, beside Tocopherol.
Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oilemollient
Macadamia Seed Oil is unusually high in palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid that human sebum also contains, which is why it absorbs faster than most nut oils. It is a cushioning emollient for dry skin. It is named ninth on this hair treatment's list, alongside Tocopherol.
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oilemollient
Jojoba Oil is a liquid wax rather than a true oil, and its structure is close to human sebum, which is why it absorbs so readily. It is an emollient that leaves a soft, non-greasy finish. The panel names it tenth on this hair treatment's list, beside Tocopherol.
Where does this hair treatment go in my routine?
After shampooing, on hair towelled to damp rather than dripping. Anything thinner than a hair treatment goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Tocopherol and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market hair treatment or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Tocopherol and all. We match this hair treatment to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this hair treatment contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance, Limonene and Linalool. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this hair treatment is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Tocopherol?
Isopropyl Myristate, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil and Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil. The order they are printed in on this hair treatment's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Tocopherol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil and Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil.

How to use
- Use the Silky Oil Serum after shampooing, on hair towelled to damp rather than dripping.
- Apply a right amount onto lengths and ends of dry or towel-dried hair.
- Shampoo first, this second. Leave it for the time the pack gives, then rinse.
- Once or twice a week. Do not work it into the roots; a treatment weighs down the one part of the hair that does not need it.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area first and wait a day before full use, especially the first time.
