I had been dying to try out Moroccanoil ever since reading that Jessie Baylin (she of impeccable hair) swore by it. I had made some half-assed attempts at finding an online retailer, but had forgotten about it until Adore Beauty made the exciting announcement that they were going to stock the brand! I made an order as soon as the stock hit the shelves (perfect timing too, as it sold out soon after) and eagerly anticipated it’s arrival on my doorstep. I have been using it nearly every day since.
What is great about this product…
I’ll start with the smell because this seems to divide people a bit. I like the smell, but I know of a few people who aren’t that keen on it. It’s hard to describe but I would say it’s sweet with a very subtle hint of spice. The scent does tend to linger in your hair, so if you don’t like it – be wary that it will hang around for a little while. The product itself is great and keeps my hair soft and silky and keeps the flyaways and frizziness at bay. I have fine hair (but quite a bit of it) so I was concerned that a hair oil might be a bit too heavy for me. The oil somehow manages to sink into my hair, and after blowdrying there is no residue whatsoever, and my hair is light and soft and not weighed down at all. When I first received the bottle I honestly thought it was a little small for the price, but after using it for months it is still around 90% full so I would honestly have to say it’s worth the price tag.
What is not so great about this product…
The packaging can be a little tricky. It is a pour bottle, which can be kind of messy and slippery because you’re dealing with a thick oil. I think a pump bottle of some kind would probably be a better set up for this product.
Moroccanoil retails for $49.50 AUD for 100ml. International readers can search for a stockist at the Moroccanoil website, and Australian readers can purchase Moroccanoil exclusively from Adore Beauty.
