Moroccan Oil - anyone know a good dupe?

I love this stuff, but not the eye-watering price. I know there are loads of copies on the market, but can anyone recommend a really good one, please?

Following as I have the exact same question.

HuskyMcClusky · 07/02/2018 15:14

Oh, good! Well, hopefully someone will be along soon. Wink

I use pure argan oil. Couple of drops in my hands rubbed together then smoothed over my hair. I get mine from Naissance.

I really like Dove Pure Care Dry Oil, I think it was a Sali Hughes recommendation. It’s usually about £8 but it’s half price in Boots at the moment so worth a go?

I have yet to find anything and I have tried everything.

HuskyMcClusky · 07/02/2018 15:44

InMemory, that’s the one I’ve been using! I find it a bit crap, tbh. It doesn’t have that nice Moroccan-y smell or smoothing effect. Sad

Sorry to say I've tried all sorts too, but always go back to this. It really is the best I've found.

mrslebon · 07/02/2018 18:49

Right, may as well order another bottle off eBay then @stoplickingthetelly

Crazyladee · 07/02/2018 19:07

I've wasted so much money trying to find cheaper alternatives that don't even come close, I have decided that seeing as a bottle lasts me approximately 6 months, it's worth the extra £.

I love it so much, it's my desert island product. Grin

I’m sure I’ve seen that in Lidl or Aldi

Plain glycerin from the chemist is excellent as a moisturizer for hair.
I put it on the ends when my curly hair is wet and it’s fantastic. Keeps the curls from frizzing out.
I use a few drops of aromatherapy oil as well.

Really really cheap in the brown chemists brand bottle.

I got a good one from TKMaxx, from this brand:

www.tkmaxx.com/uk/en/women/beauty/haircare/argan-oil-conditioner-1l/p/42161996

Similar smell and consistency, only need a few drops. Can only see the conditioner though, not the actual oil (maybe in stores?)

HuskyMcClusky · 08/02/2018 02:32

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I’m going to just suck it up and pay for the original. 😣

I think the Dove oil is one of those products that’s really dependent on hair type, it works pretty well for me. But I agree it’s not a patch on MoroccanOil, and sadly never found anything that is, which is why I’m currently ekeing out a sample sized bottle!

Onynx · 08/02/2018 22:02

I use this one & find it great

Is this for hair?

I really rate the Elvive Extraordinary Oil. I use four pumps on the lengths of my hair after washing (twice what the pack suggests), and it ends up incredibly soft and swishy. It smells lovely too.

spankhurst · 09/02/2018 13:35

Extraordinary Oil is fabulous stuff.

HuskyMcClusky · 09/02/2018 13:43

Yes, for hair! Thanks for the recommendations. Smile
