Best Thing In A Bottle Since Beer


I'm no stranger to hair oil. I'm Indian, we love us some coconut oil and live by it, but coconut oil doesn't help with styling. I still remember the first time my hair dresser used Morccan Oil on me. It was a minor miracle. NAY! it was a major miracle! My hair dried soft and sleek and curly with no frizz, no crunch and no oily residue. What was this black magic that she used on me??  She gave me a trial size of it for me to use at home. That's how they get ya huh? "First ones free, Kid!"  

And just like an up-and-coming addict, I pretended I didn't need it.  No...surely my concoctions of hair products will be fiiine...I don't need that oil! But more and more I kept flashing back to that wonderful light, heavenly smell. The ease with which it ran through my hair. The way it dried, even on my hands, so quickly, without a trace of oil. I needed it.

I bought my first full size bottle from a salon in AL while I was visiting my sister. I had never spent that much money on one hair product before and I was nervous. It was a heavy dark apothecary bottle, that I loved,  inside of an attention grabbing blue box. I spent the time at her house perfecting my method and amount I needed. I started off with very little, cherishing this new liquid gold.  By the end of the week I found my happy place.

Since then I've given way to all other hair products. Nothing else compared nor would do anymore. I tried other brands of Moroccan/argan oils, during short lapses in judgement, only to find them too oily or heavy, or drying and making my hair brittle. Every time I've gone back to the original Moroccan Oil brand in the blue box with the heavenly smell.

For the last few years the only thing that I've put in my hair is this oil and my hair brush...and maybe some hair spray for costumes/events(where I basically go to in costume).  I use it every time my hair is wet and even on on dry hair to smooth out some frizziness or to bring some life back to my slept in curls.

Each 3.4 oz bottle lasts me between 6 months to a year depending how long my hair is and now that I don't buy anything else for my hair, the price tag seems more than worth it.

The Moroccan Oil line hosts a long line of hair products available in salons or select beauty supply stores. The line has everything from a lighter version of the oil treatment, to creams, masks, foams and shampoo. Every thing my hair stylist has tried on me has worked amazingly. I'm not sure what they're putting into those little blue packages, but it's so good it should be illegal!
