Dyson Omega Nourishing Haircare Review: Leave-In Conditioning Spray & Hydrating Hair Oil

Dyson is best known for revolutionising the way we style our hair with the Airwrap and Supersonic, but since moving more into the haircare space with their Chitosan styling products, it seems they are keen to expand this area of their expertise. I have been testing out the new Dyson Omega nourishing haircare range which includes the Dyson Omega Leave-In Conditioning Spray and the Dyson Omega Hydrating Hair Oil. Here’s what you need to know.

What is in the Dyson Omega Haircare Range?

Dyson Omega Nourishing Haircare Collection

There are two new haircare products in the Dyson Omega nourishing range:

  • Dyson Omega Leave-In Conditioning Spray £59.99
  • Dyson Omega Leave-In Conditioning Spray refill £49.99
  • Dyson Omega Hydrating Hair Oil £45.99

Key Ingredients & Technology

The Dyson Oli7 blend combines seven omega-rich oils:

  • Macadamia oil
  • Dyson Farming Sunflower seed oil
  • Olive oil
  • Abyssinian oil
  • Corn oil
  • Avocado oil
  • Sesame oil

The Leave-In Conditioner promises to:

  • Reduce breakage by up to 73% for all hair types
  • Increase hair moisture by up to 45% immediately.
  • Omega-rich formula creates slip to increase combability, for effortless detangling.
  • Split ends visibly reduced by up to 96%
  • Heat protection up to 230°C
  • Shields hair from UV damage
  • Up to 90% less frizz instantly, with 48-hour control

The Hydrating Hair Oil promises:

  • Up to 261% shinier hair
  • Increased hair moisture by up to 49% immediately.
  • Up to 88% less frizz instantly,² with lasting 48-hour frizz control
  • Up to 94% breakage reduction.
  • Heat protection up to 230°C.
  • Versatile use: apply on dry or damp hair, to boost shine and protect.

The Fragrance

The scent in this range is all about bringing those fresh and clean vibes.

  • Top notes of citrus, green tea and bergamot
  • Mid-notes of soft jasmine and rose
  • A warm, skin-scent base with musk, cedarwood and moss

How Dyson Haircare is Made: Farming & Innovation

Dyson says, “We’ve brought together two completely different worlds – farming and beauty – to develop a product that unlocks healthy hair with natural ingredients.”

Dyson have spent over 10 years investing in and developing their precision and biodiverse farming practices. Omega is Dyson’s first product to feature an ingredient that is actually grown on the Dyson farms.

The Sunflower seed oil used in the Omega range is extracted from Dyson sunflowers seeds. They were chosen because the oil is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly omegas 6 and 9, which help to deeply moisturise the hair, smooth the cuticle, and reduce frizz. It also boasts a lightweight molecular structure, which means that the oil absorbs quickly into the hair shaft without accumulating build-up.

Additionally, a range of strategies were developed to ensure the harvested seeds contain an optimal balance of beneficial compounds. They trialled over 60 varieties of sunflower to identify those richest in natural ceramides and farmed them to optimise quality.

Hydrating Hair Oil

Dyson Omega Hydrating Hair Oil
Dyson Omega Hydrating Hair Oil

This is a silicone-free, concentrated oil that is formulated to condition, smooth, and provide a protective moisture seal for softer, more manageable hair. It uses the Dyson Oli7 blend and is activated by a biotechnology fermented oil complex to deliver nourishment without weighing down the hair.

It is also rich in antioxidants and uses ingredients to protect against heat and mechanical damage.

Leave-in conditioning spray

Dyson Omega Leave-In Conditioning Spray
Dyson Omega Leave-In Conditioning Spray

This is designed to be an 8-in-1 multitasker that:

  • Nourishes
  • Detangles
  • Smooths
  • Reduces frizz
  • Protects from heat
  • Protects from UV damage
  • Minimises breakage
  • Moisturises hair

It works to nourishes and restore dry, brittle, fragile hair and is also infused with Panthenol for added strength benefits. It comes in a fluid cream and the spray mechanism disperses it into a lightweight mist for even, controlled coverage on wet and dry hair.

My Review of the Dyson Omega Nourishing Range

First Impressions

Dyson has nailed it with packaging once again. The Leave-In Conditioning Spray is refillable (big sustainability win) and feels satisfyingly luxe in the hand. It delivers a creamy yet lightweight mist and is nourishing without ever weighing the hair down.

The Hydrating Hair Oil feels just as chic. It’s silky, absorbs quickly, and smells fresh and clean. It’s perfect for that “just-washed” vibe even on day two hair.

Dyson Omega Leave-In Conditioning Spray

  • Texture: A creamy formula delivered as a fine mist
  • How I Use It: I spritz it evenly through damp hair before brushing and styling. It makes post-wash brushing effortless and preps the hair beautifully for my Dyson Airwrap Coanda 2.0.
  • The Results: Once blow-dried, my hair feels soft, smooth, and hydrated without any heaviness.

The consistency of this product is really interesting as it is a thicker, more gel-like cream and quite different to a lot of leave-in sprays. The delivery system transforms this texture into a lighter mist, which I think is really clever. But clever is always what I expect from Dyson!

I love that it has heat protection and a UV shield. Also loving the refill element.

Dyson Omega Leave-In Conditioning Spray Refill
Dyson Omega Leave-In Conditioning Spray Refill

Dyson Omega Hydrating Hair Oil

If you love multi-tasking oils, this could be your new best friend.

  • On Damp Hair: I like to layer this over the Conditioning Spray, focusing on the ends where my hair tends to be driest.
  • On Dry Hair: It’s brilliant for adding softness, shine, and nourishment. I also use it to break up waves or curls post-styling for that effortless, undone finish.

This is so nice because it adds softness without being heavy and smells so fresh and clean. Again, I love that there’s heat protection in there, as I heat style my hair a lot.

Dyson Omega FAQs

Is the Dyson Omega Leave-In Spray good for fine hair?

Yes! The mist is light and creamy but never heavy. It has been formulated to work on all hair types.

Can I use the Hydrating Hair Oil on oily-prone hair?

Yes. This is a lightweight and won’t leave hair greasy. Focus application on mid-lengths to ends.

Do both products protect against heat?

Yes, both the spray and oil include heat protection as well as a UV shield.

Are the Dyson Omega products refillable?

The Leave-In Conditioning Spray is refillable.

Do they have a fragrance?

Yes, both have a subtle, fresh clean scent that feels uplifting but not overpowering.

Final Thoughts

The Dyson Omega range is a clever extension of Dyson’s haircare expertise. The Leave-In Conditioning Spray makes detangling and prep effortless, while the Hydrating Hair Oil is perfect for hydration, shine, and styling versatility. Both deliver heat and UV protection, making them hardworking essentials in any routine.

I’ve been loving them alongside my Airwrap styling sessions.

Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum Review

When it comes to hand care, I’ve always struggled to find a cuticle oil or serum that I can actually use regularly. Most of them are either too greasy or too messy – and I always end up feeling like I can’t touch my keyboard or get on with my day. Enter the Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum. It’s an absolute game-changer.

What is Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum?

What is Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum?

This product is designed to treat the skin and nails to intensive hydration in a lightweight formula that absorbs quickly to leave hands silky smooth. Works on both the skin and cuticles and supports overall nail and skin health.

  • Enriched with plant-derived collagen, grape seed oil and castor oil
  • Antioxidants help to defend against environmental stressors
  • Works to hydrate and condition the skin and cuticles
  • Helps improve skin elasticity and softness
  • Absorbs quickly without greasiness
  • Designed to protect against dryness and environmental damage

The Brand & Founder

I’ve been so impressed with Navy as a brand in general. They create products that feel truly considered, elegant, and a joy to use.

I actually met the founder, Rebecca Crawforth, at the Space NK lunch celebrating Navy’s launch into Space NK and their partnership with my lovely friend Lydia Millen. Rebecca is absolutely wonderful. The kind of founder I always love to meet. She’s genuine, passionate, and supportive in a way that makes you want the very best for her and her brand.

In fact, Rebecca even went online and bought some products from my brand REESON, which was just the sweetest and kindest gesture. That kind of thoughtfulness says everything about her.

My Review

My Review of Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum
My Review of Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum

First Impressions

The first thing I noticed was the chic bottle and branding. Navy have absolutely nailed the design. It looks gorgeous on my side table, and the bottle itself feels so luxe in the hand. It’s one of those products that makes you want to reach for it, which is half the battle when it comes to building good beauty habits.

The Texture

Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum Packaging
Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum Packaging

This is where the magic happens. The Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum has the most elegant texture, sitting perfectly between an oil and a serum.

  • Lightweight: It feels nourishing yet never slimy or sticky
  • Quick Absorbing: It sinks in so fast, meaning you can get back to typing, scrolling, or working without greasy fingers
  • Flattering Glow: A little drop smoothed over the backs of my hands gives an instant, youthful glow. It literally takes away any crepiness and makes hands look fresher and younger straight away.

It’s honestly such a pleasure to use, and it’s the first time I’ve found myself using a hand and cuticle product daily without fail.

How I Use It

I’ve made it part of my evening ritual. I keep the serum on the side table next to where I watch TV, so I naturally remember to apply it. Just a few dropa massaged into the tops of my hands and around my cuticles is enough to hydrate and condition without leaving any residue.

It’s so easy, so chic, and so effective. I’m obsessed.

Key Benefits of Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum

  • Lightweight yet deeply nourishing formula.
  • Half oil, half serum texture, never greasy.
  • Leaves hands looking instantly smoother and more youthful.
  • Quick-drying, so you can use it anytime.
  • Gorgeous, chic packaging you’ll be proud to display.
  • Conditions cuticles and hands in one easy step.

Why I Love It

This product really ticks all the boxes for me: it’s beautiful to look at, easy to use, and delivers instant visible results. My hands feel soft, my cuticles are cared for, and I don’t have to pause my day because of greasy residue.

Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum Texture

It’s one of those products that feels like a true ritual of self-care, and I can see myself repurchasing it again and again.

Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum FAQs

What does the Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum feel like?

It has a texture that’s halfway between a serum and an oil – light, silky, and non-greasy.

Will it make my hands greasy?

No, it absorbs super quickly and leaves only a flattering glow, no stickiness or slime.

Is it good for daily use?

Absolutely. Because it’s so lightweight and non-messy, it’s easy to apply every day.

Can I use it if I work at a computer?

Yes, it sinks in so fast that you can get straight back to your keyboard without any oily residue.

Where to buy it

The Navy Hand & Cuticle Serum is available at Space NK and via Navy’s own website.

The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum Review

When I visited the DECIEM labs in Toronto, I had the absolute treat of trying the brand-new The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum ahead of its global launch. If you’re already a fan of The Ordinary’s science-first skincare, you’re going to love how they’ve brought that same clever approach to lip care. Here is everything you need to know. It is available now.

What is The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum?

The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum
The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum

The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum is the brand’s first-ever lip-focused exfoliating treatment. Instead of relying on abrasive scrubs, this gentle serum uses chemical exfoliation with Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs) to smooth, hydrate, and plump the lips.

This makes it a new-generation alternative to lip scrubs. It is more hydrating and far kinder to the delicate lip area. And of course, it comes at The Ordinary’s famously fair price point:

  • £7.60 GBP | $8.50 USD | €9.80 EUR | $12.10 CAD | $14.60 AUD

Why Do Lips Need The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum?

Our lips are much thinner than the rest of our skin, with only 3–5 cellular layers compared to around 16 on the face. They also don’t contain oil glands, which makes them especially prone to dehydration, flakiness, and discomfort.

That’s why The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum is such a clever innovation. It works to gently remove dead skin while boosting hydration, helping lips feel smooth, soft, and healthy.

Joe Basham, Senior Science Communications Manager at DECIEM, sums it up beautifully:

“Lip skin is thinner and more delicate than facial skin, making it more vulnerable to water loss. PHA’s offer both gentle exfoliation and hydration support, gently renewing the skin’s surface while helping to promote its natural renewal.”

The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum Ingredients

The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum Key Ingredients

The formula features a blend of smart, skin-loving actives:

Daucus Carota Sativa Extract – rich in antioxidants and gives the serum its pretty pink hue (which disappears on application).

Gluconolactone (PHA 5%) – the star ingredient, a gentle acid that exfoliates while supporting hydration.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Citric, Malic & Tartaric Acid) – smooth texture and refine the lips’ surface.

My Review

The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum packaging

My First Impressions

At the DECIEM labs, I tested The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum and was instantly taken by its oil-serum-gel texture. It melts into the lips effortlessly and leaves behind a softly tacky film that feels nourishing and protective rather than sticky.

There’s a mild tingling sensation, but it’s comfortable, and actually adds to that sense of the serum working. The end result? Lips that look plumper, smoother, and more hydrated.

Results After Testing

With The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum, I’ve noticed a smoother lip texture and a naturally plumped and healthy-looking finish. I have been testing a different lip product that I am launching for my brand REESON for about a year, which has meant I don’t currently have any dryness or flakiness, but I think this lip serum would be very effective on that if you suffered with that.

How to Use The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum

  • Apply a thin layer onto clean, dry lips in the PM
  • Allow it to dry before applying a lip balm
  • Use two to three times per week

FAQs About The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum

Can I use The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum every day?

The Ordinary recommend using this every other day at night.

Will The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum sting?

You may feel a light tingling, but it’s very comfortable and the tingling doesn’t last long.

Does The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum replace lip balm?

It’s more of a treatment than a balm. You can still layer a nourishing balm over it if you like.

Is The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum tinted?

No, while the serum looks pink in the tube, the colour disappears completely on application.

What is The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum release date?

Final Thoughts

I’m really excited about The Ordinary PHA 5% Exfoliating Lip Serum. It’s exactly what I’d expect from The Ordinary – smart, affordable, and rooted in real skincare science. If you’ve struggled with scrubs or constant dryness, this is such a brilliant upgrade for your routine.

I love to let it dry and then apply my favourite lip balm from La Mer. It’s a serious case of a high low combo! If you are looking for a lip balm, but want something more affordable than La Mer, have a read of Best Lip Balms for Dry Lips for 2025.
