Don't get me wrong, this IS a good product, but I just don't understand the hype about it (or the price tag!).
I received a trial size of this a couple of years ago, in a Beauty Box. I was quite stoked, it had just come out and was creating a real buzz in the Beauty world, so I felt privileged to be able to try it.
First up, my goodness, the scent is divine. A very subtle vanilla/cocoa fragrance.
I only need to use a very tiny amount, lightly combed through the mid lengths and ends of my hair (using my fingers).
I prefer to use this on my damp hair, and then blow dry and style afterwards.
I think it must be because my hair is so fine, that I just don't get the same results that others rave about. I love the idea of these types of products, but I'm yet to find one that doesn't leave me looking like an oil slick by the end of the day.
Because of the high price tag, and mediocre personal results, I wouldn't purchase this product.
I've been using Moroccan oil for 3-4 years. Along with Moreish Argan oil, this oil is my cant-live-without oil. Admittedly, I was very skeptical at first. My hair can become very oily after a day (especially during summer and hot, humid weather) so thinking of applying oil really startles me. But one of my friends who is a professional hair stylist convinced me about its effect and show me how to use it. He showed my some tips:
1. Using as a conditional product: either mix it with shampoo or applying in between the two wash. It helps maintaining the moisture balance for hair yet prevents exceeded oil .
2. For styling, after dye or straightening, this oil can be used in the first 5 days or first week after treatment.
3. After blow dry, he advised me to put some in the palm and "heat" it up before applying to the hair. Imagine your hands are like big combs.
I never use hair conditioner as I stick with moroccan oil and argan oil. This product has an amazing effect to me, especially with the parts of hair that "suffers" because of chemical treatment. As I mixed oil with shampoo, I realise my hair is stronger and much less hair loss.
I agree this product is a little expensive, but the bottle is huge and it can last you for ages. The amazing scent is also a plus for me, always think of an expensive spa every time using this.
