Can someone tell me what Morrocon Oil is and why Im seeing it everywhere?

[kitkatya]

Its just that Im going to Marrakesh next week and I dont like to miss up on a bargain!! whats it used for? Is it called Argan? do you buy it neat or in things?

It's used for stopping curly hair being frizzy. Moroccan oil has argan oil in it, but you can buy just argan oil to do the same thing.

I will look out for it. Thanks!

I use Moroccan Oil. Makes your hair all nice and shiny and smooths down the fluffy bits. My hair is straight btw.

Put a bit through damp hair then once dried and straightened, rub a tiny bit between your hands and smooth over hair.

do you just buy it neat then?

I get mine from the hairdressers. It is blended with a few other ingredients so not exactly neat.

I find it totally over-rated, especially for the price. Doesn't do a better or worse job than anything else on the market. In fact, my hair is fluffier than when I used my previous products.

Neat Argan oil would be your best bet if you are actually going to be in Morocco. Moroccan Oil is the brand name for a salon product that contains argan oil. I use a Matrix Oil which is pretty much argan oil mixed with olive oil and it's cheaper than moroccan oil and does the same job (I have wavy hair, prone to frizz which I used to straighten religiously but now can get away with out relying on my Ghds every day)

so is it like serum?

yes, I use it the way I used to use serum and find it much more effective

I'm a recent convert to Moroccan oil. It makes my hair look smooth and very shiny. Yes, it's pricey but you only need a very small amount.
On the bottle I have it says it's from Israel though.

My last bottle lasted nearly 18 months, so at £30 I would say that was well worth it.

You'll be able to buy argan oil in morocco easily and it can be used as a moisturiser or as a hair treatment- run a small amount through wet hair like serum. Can be used on straight or curly hair and works well. Moisturiser my desiccated pins very beautifully!

Moroccan Oil is a product which contains some argan oil. Can only buy it from salons or eBay/ amazon. Again it can be used as a serum and works well. My dd had mega curly hair and it has worked wonders on it. I love it on my straight hair, makes it soft and glossy and I don't need to straighten it anymore to look reasonable! Expensive but worth it.

do I go into special shops for it or is it everywhere?

argan oil is great for stretch marks. All the Moroccan ladies use it

If you are buying Argan oil I would imagine you can get it wherever in marracesh. Markets and stuff. I haven't been to morocco so I dont know the shopping situation. Just to reiterate Moroccon Oil the brand is a combination of argan oil and silicon and perfume and preservative. Argan oil is a nut oil. It's nice though and good for hair, nails and skin.

My hairdresser used it on my hair last visit and I thought it was fab. Never had such shiny shiny hair. I'd recommend highly.
