What is moroccan oil?

I told my mom that I hope my hands feel better tomorrow so that I can straighten my hair (or try to). And she told me that she has this stuff called moroccan oil. She said it in a way seemed like she'll let me use it this weekend. But what is it? What does it do? Is it mainly for women? I'm still in "boy" mode so if it'll make my hair look non boyish would that be bad? My hair currently is just long and tangly. I really don't ever do anything with it to be honest. However, I will start using different products when I move in with my mom since she's gonna let me start hormones and I can do whatever around her.

According to Wiki, it is used traditionally with foods, and is increasingly used in cosmetics. With hair, it apparently is just a moisturizer, so I don't see any harm in using it. Just to be sure, read the label before applying.

It can be applied to your hair to give it shine and help tame tangles. You can mix a little in with your shampoo or conditioner while in the shower, or rub a little bit into towel-dried hair, or you can even use a little bit on your hair when it's dry or between washings. Focus mainly on the strands and the ends, not so much the roots. I've been using a Biolage version of it called Exquisite Oil and when that's used up I'm going to try out the Frizz Ease version of the stuff (since it was on sale).

Hope that helps! :)

I love the stuff! Its amazing. I put it on my hair when it is wet before I blow dry or straighten it. It makes it look soft, shiny, and keeps it from getting frizzy. Its basically just a hair conditioner but it makes my hair feel like I just had it done at the salon!

The brand we have used is a bit fatty or waxy to touch and is like a thick moisturiser cream . It left our hair feeling a bit greasy .I imagine it works best for those with dry or frizzy hair .

ive heard good things about it.. it seems to be in alot of hair products at the moment. avon have a range with it in, it looks very nice :)

not tried it myself.. im a bit rubbish at looking after myself sometimes and i dont always use conditioner.. but i get compliments on my hair often.

i can recommend using some kind of serum or leave in conditioner.. if you have thick or frizzy hair like mine it can make a huge difference.. also something like styling creme or brylcreem... a small amount rubbed on the palms and then through the hair i find adds a bit of definition..

im going to get mine cut soon in any case, it keeps getting stuck under my head at night :P i have to brush it regularly or it gets very tangled and even matted when im really not doing too well... but yeh i love all kinds of hair products :)

No go here! It made my hair too oily, even with tiny amounts. I hate throwing things out, but it is probably going in in the trash.

Send it to me I'm out. I love it!

It comes from the argon trees in Morraco. I put a dab about the size of a quarter in my hand, rub my hands together and then into my hair.

It can get too oily if I use more than that. If I muff it up I wash my hair, there is still enough to help after the wash. Psst... Sally's Beauty Supply is your friend. Hug. JodyAnn

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.
