Moroccan Oil Sample

Anyone know if it's possible - and where - to get a sample of this? I don't want to buy a huge bottle until I know I like it.

Amazon and eBay do little bottles for about £11 quid. You can also buy tiny 'holiday' bottles on eBay for less than that but they wouldn't last long.

I keep hearing this mentioned - what si Moroccan Oil (same as Arjan?) What does it do? Would it be good for me - I have fine, limp hair....thanks

Would this argan oil do the job? I love akamuti, their stuff is fantastic quality but am not sure if this would work on hair?

I can't find any of the little bottles : ( and the travel ones all seem to the in the region of 13 pounds which is quite steep if you just want to try something. Still debating whether I can be arsed to spend that much on spec.

It's meant to be wonderful for frizzy/coloured/dry hair that won't ever do anything it's meant to

I will find some links for you!

You don't need a little bottle. You will love it. Buy a big bottle.

TrillianAstra · 31/01/2011 12:13

What does one do with it?

ruddynorah · 31/01/2011 12:16

Smooth small blob into damp hair before blow drying. I also run it through my damp hair and leave it to dry naturally into curls. So I can have perfectly silky smooth straight hair, or glossy bouncy curls. No other products.

I would like to believe you ruddynorah, but I am cynical. I have a bathroom full of miracle things that were supposed to work and didn't (for me), and I'm trying to economise, and be a little more sensible.

thank you ken! I'll look forward to it!

I get mine from Amazon. Argon oil which is what my hairdresser uses. £10 for a small bottle that lasts months.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 31/01/2011 18:05

I have got fine hair that is flyaway and it has been great. Especially considering I have to wash my hair every day due to greasy roots.

McDreamy · 31/01/2011 18:06

I have just ordered some Argon from Amazon, thanks for the tips. I've being wanting to buy Morrocan oil for ages but couldn't justify the price! Much more affordable.

valiumredhead · 31/01/2011 18:23

McDreamy - you need to use a tiny amount - not even a pea sized drop on my shoulder length hair. I rub it between my palms then run my hands over my hair.

...on damp hair or dry?

valiumredhead · 01/02/2011 08:17

faustina BOTH! You can use a small amount to smooth down fly away bits after drying too :)

IvaNighSpare · 01/02/2011 18:01

Shhhh · 01/02/2011 19:03

Im another one who says "get it, you will love it" !

After reading a mn thread last week I went on a mission to buy some. Not only did I buy the oil BUT I also bought the shampoo and conditioner!
I use it every day and I must admit my hair has never been so lurvley Grin.

Soft, swish and gorgeous Smile.

Go on, take the plunge Wink.
