One day I will make a post about my horrific hair experience over the last 4 years but for now lets just say my hair has been in really bad condition for a long time and is finally starting to look and feel better! I have naturally wavy/curly hair and the more damaged it gets the more frizz prone it is so I am forever searching for softening/anti-frizz/taming products and have had my eye on the infamous Moroccan Oil for years now but could never justify buying it (it is about £30 a bottle), however I came across this in ASDA for only £4 and thought I would try it out, seeing as it wouldn't be much wasted if it wasn't good.
It comes in a really sweet little box and the product itself is in a bottle with a pump application. It is a clear thick liquid however I'm not sure I would quite call it an oil (as advertised), it is more of a gel in my opinion. I first tried it out on dry hair as I believe you can get more use out of a product when your hair is dry and I have to say it was really good.
It wasn't stunning and I wasn't blown over by an amazing difference but then again you get what you pay for. However it did calm a lot of frizz and fly aways and also made my hair more manageable to style and more malleable and A LOT softer! I have used it pretty much every day since on dry hair when styling and also after washing my hair and I am already seeing a massive improvement.
I use one pump on dry hair and run it over the ends of my hair, concentrating on the ends of my layers where I have most breakage. I didn't put it on my roots to avoid grease. When wet I used 2/3 pumps of put it all over and combed it through. I have noticed the most improvements at the top of my head where my hair wasn't so damaged but have noticed a difference in the end also. It also makes styling my hair a lot easier and I can sometimes use it without the need for any heat products to smooth parts.
So overall I am very pleased and seeing as it is only £4 and a fraction of the price of Moroccan Oil I am a pleased costumer and will probably repurchase, however I am wanting to try out the Lee Strafford Argan Oil also (which is roughly £12 from Boots) so might try that one out next.
