The Moroccanoil Treatment is one of the few hair products that have been a constant in my life. I remember seeing it in almost every magazine back when it first launched. So when I came across the brown glass blue labeled bottle at my first beauty internship at a magazine, I was ecstatic to finally try it.
Since then, many hairstyles later, this treatment has stayed as one of my go-to frizz fighters. The combo of argan and flax seed oils help manage hair while strengthening and protecting it. And no matter what condition my hair is in, I can always count on it to smooth the driest of ends, especially like the kinds in my current desert-like bleached mop.
I use it before blow-drying, after for any extra smoothing I may need, and most mornings to manage my crazy bedhead. Depending on the length and health of your hair, I suggest starting with a dime-size amount, working it through the hair and concentrating on the ends prior to blow-drying. (Since my hair is so damaged, I use a bit more product than most find necessary.)
Comb your hair to make sure it’s spread out evenly before going in with a dryer. I find that detangling is easier and it helps speed up drying time, meaning less heat damage. If there’s still some frizz after styling, use another few drops to help smooth it out. It’s fast-absorbing and non-greasy; even when I feel like I used a little too much, my hair has never felt weighed down.
Besides the results, my favorite thing about this product is its warm, nutty smell. It makes me want to dump the whole bottle on my head — which I have as a pre-shampoo moisturizing treatment. I let it soak in overnight and wash out in the morning. If your hair is on the fine and healthier side, I might skip the overnight, though I have done it when my hair was lightly highlighted without it feeling weighed down. If you’re paranoid about looking greasy, stick to a small amount, applying it from the mid-length to the ends.
