What is moroccan oil?

[Guest Ashlyn M]

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 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
