Moroccan Oil

Say goodbye to damage from highlights, low lights and color treating your hair, say goodbye to dry and frizzy hair, say goodbye to dull and brittle hair and say hello to Moroccan Oil!I thought Frederick Fekkai Glossing Cream was the best product for my color treated and abused hair, but this oil is soooooo much better. You only need a to add a little bit of this oil to your towel dried hair and style as usual.

Even though it's an oil and it has a thick viscosity, it doesn't weight my hair down and now my blow drying is like giving myself a hot oil treatment. Funny enough I have oily hair, well really I have an oily scalp, so normally I would avoid anything with oil in the name of the product, but this stuff is far less greasy than the FF glossing cream that I was using, and I'm able to go at least two days without washing my hair.


One of the main ingredients of this product is Argan Oil and all the beauty bloggers are loving the stuff.



Moroccan Oil is made in Israel, no bunnies were used in product testing and the bottle is glass for easy recycling. It is only sold at salons or online and retails for around $40. Before you baulk at the price, know that I expect this bottle to last me at least three months based on how much I've used to far.


I found this great website that is selling my favorite Moroccan Oil at 23% off! Check out Haircare Discounters when you have a chance.

They also have Alterna, BioSilk, Bumble & Bumble, Dermalogica, Kerastase, Murad, OPI, Paul Mitchell, PureOlogy, Redken, Sebastian, and more! All at about 20% - 30% off and you get a PureOlogy hair brush FREE with every order.

I hate to be a spoil sport but all this hype about MoroccanOil being a natural product is hogwash. The ingredients are primarily silicones:

Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Butylphenyl, MethylPropional, Argania Spinoza Kernal Oil (Aragan Oil), Linseed (Linum Usitatissimum) Extract, Fragrance Supplement, D&C Yellow-11, D&C Red-17, Coumarin, Benzyl Benzoate, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone.

And while it lists argan oil as an ingredient, it is less than 2% of the overall ingredients -- about as significant as the droplets of fragrance and only slightly more than the artificial colorings. Why does it work? Check out the ingredients in Turtle Was and ArmorAll and you'll start to get the idea why your hair will feel and shine nice as your freshly coated vinyl seats. The reason why bloggers rave about organic argan oil is that it is the "real thing" and this company irks me as they are exploiting people's trust. By the way, they are a Canadian Company. And the reason no bunnies had to die for their product is that they didn't have to test it before bringing it to market. Sorry to be a sad sack about this but some marketing practices really bug me...this is one of them. As for me, I love the argan oil and use one that is blended with essential oils (rose), a wonderful argan balm for night on my skin and the pure one for my hair.

Wow! The salon used this on my daughter who has curly hair as well as myself - who is the color-treated goddess, and it's a miracle cure for dry or processed hair. I never did buy it because of the price, but I may reconsider now!

Does anyone know where in Israel this product is manufactured? I love it but am concerned that it, like many products, is made in an illegal settlement in the Palestinian West Bank... anyone know?
