Review: Moroccan Oil

What's all the hype about Moroccan Oil?

Moroccan oil is basically a brand name form of argan oil. It is penetrating and your hair actually does benefit from it. It may be pricey, but it revives, strengthens, conditions, and reduces your blow dry time. It revives overprocessed, dry, brittle hair, and add shine and improves elasticity. Does not leave hair sticky or greasy (unless you use it wrong).

They also have a LIGHT formula which is for blondes and very fine hair.

To use Moroccan Oil, wash and condition your hair. Using a blow dryer, remove excess water from your hair until your hair is damp, but not dripping wet. Apply one pump of the oil into your hand and rub together. Apply it mid-shaft to ends and then blow dry completely. If you need more, add a dime size amount to your hands and run it through your ends only. Applying it to your scalp will make your hair greasy.

  3. I went to a VERY nice salon yesterday and I had a light red hair color. I got it colored with base breakers light blonde and darker blonde. The lady used bleach to do the light blonde and after she colored it she cut it. I requested choppy layers and she cut it then textured it with thinning sheers and this evening I took a shower and combed my hair and it kept coming off in the comb. Is this normal or not? Please help in freaking out!!!

    1. She over processed your hair. When the pieces come out in the comb are they super stretchy? If it is, this is called "gummy" hair which is caused by over processing due to the bleach she used. It was either left on too long or the hairstylist used too high of a developer for your hair type. You should go back to the salon and let them know. The only thing to stop the breakage is to cut it off though, and they might also do a deep conditioner to help it a little. But in the mean time, use a large toothed comb only, use a heat protectant when blow drying or using other heat tools, and use an oil (such as morrocan or organ oil) on the ends so they don't look dry and angry.

  4. It didn't come out gummy, more like I was scraping the hair, it came out like dust (?) It's really haRd to explain. But it has also become very frizzy.

    1. I bet if you wet the ends of your hair, you'll find that they are a bit gummy. Sounds like you're combing your hair when it's dry, which will cause it to break off in small pieces, which can look like dust. Try the oil, as described in this posting and I advise to go back to the salon too and let them know what's going on. They may be able to offer free deep conditioning sessions or products for you to use at home.
