Before I write my opinion on MoroccanOil I thought I would give some background information about my hair. To start off, my hair is damaged from dying and bleaching my hair over and over again. (I bleached and dyed it every single day for a week the first time I attempted to
ombré my hair - bad idea). I've invested in different hair treatments and serums to help salvage what was left and nothing seemed to work. My once thick, voluminous hair turned brittle and dry, slowly thinning and leaving me with split ends. I tried using hair masks but left me with a waxy residue so I never gave it another chance.
The search is over.
PROS:
Eileen from MoroccanOil gifted me these MoroccanOil products to try and see if it could help reverse the damage in my hair and voila, my prayers have been answered. The MoroccanOil hair treatment has been my best friend the past couple of weeks, I personally use it when my hair is damp and apply a small amount to the ends of my hair. I find that my hair is soft and leaves my hair shiny and detangled, perfect for me since I don't like putting so many products in my hair - seriously this one product does everything.
Another product I've tested and loved is the frizz control spray, which I use on the days I'm not using the hair treatment. (If I feel like I need that extra oomph I use both products). But the product that you can use for your hair, body, and even include in your skincare routine is the pure argan oil. I've tried Josie Maran's argan oil and it has given me painful, horrible breakouts once I started using it. I was hesitant to give argan oil a try, but thought I could give it a try because of the rave reviews. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly absorbed the oil absorbed into my skin, it wasn't sitting on top of my skin like most oils do. I use about 1-2 drops and mix it with my moisturizer at night to keep my face hydrated and to my surprise, no breakouts! These 3 products mentioned are now part of my skincare routine and my holy grail collection.
One thing that has been helping me relax during this busy holiday season is the MoroccanOil candle! It creates a warm, soothing ambience and the aroma is delightful for the upcoming winter weather. I've been using it in my room and love the beachy, woody scent which is a rich reminiscence of my younger days when my family and I stayed at my uncle's beach house. Great housewarming and holiday gift for anyone.
CONS:
Two things that I wasn't too fond of even though I did enjoy it at first was the body
soufflé and hand cream. The only reason is because of the scent, it honestly moisturizes so well which is why I overlooked the smell but I can't bear the smell anymore. It has a musky, manly scent which I wasn't a fan of. However, if you don't mind the scent I would say give it a try!
I would love to give their shampoo and conditioner a try considering how much I'm enjoying their line, but am still hooked on
Lush.

Bottom Line : Give it a try and see if you love it too, but please understand that what works for me may not work for you. I know it's on the pricier side, but I would try giving it a chance. I would suggest asking for samples or buying the products at Nordstrom, and if you don't love it you can always return or exchange it for something else that fits you best!

Anyone else try MoroccanOil? Is it a hit or a miss for you?
