Has anybody used Moroccan Oil hair products?

Hi

As the title says, has anybody tried these? The hair oil is mentioned in a magazine I've got. I'm sure I've seen them around, but can't remember which shop. Anybody tried them? What did you think? Where did you get them from?

Thanks

Gwenx

    hi - i have been using it for the past couple weeks - was expecting miracles, and been using it diligently every day after shower, but have not seen any effects! My hair is still like straw, cnt really see any extra shine (though I only use it on the bottom half).

    I have read soem reviews of this that point out that there is a lot of silicon in this, and will in the end dry out your hair.

    Maybe try using some argan oil on your hair instead, as this is what Moroccan Oil is based on, and see how that fares? Ive been using argan oil for the last 2 days, and my hair doesnt seem as frizzy, but I need to use it more to get a good feel for it.

    Other good hair oils are supposed to be camellia oil, coconut and avocado oil, maybe try these first, as Moroccan Oil is very expensive. I use a mix of these as a pre-shampoo and my hair is quite silky and shiny on the top half (the bottom half is another story)

    On the plus side, it does sell gorgeous!

    I have read alot of people asking about this on make up alley and the general consensus seems to be that the oil itself is OK, (apparently though its all about Argen oils at the moment!) but the thing with Moroccan oil products is that they add a lot of silicons and this is what your really getting bowled over by. The down side is that it can build up on your hair (real oil doesn't do this) and then you end up with drier hair then you had to begin with.
