Oil doesn't have to give you that greasy look.



So what’s the product like? The texture is not greasy. If you rub it on your hands, it actually moisturises without feeling  sticky. It also acts as a water repellent so your hair dries quicker, plus, it helps to fill in the gaps on your hair shaft, and thus evens out the damaged areas of your hair, increasing shine.

After applying a Moroccan oil hair mask and using some of the oil treatment before blow-drying, hair feels soft and not weighed down or dried out – even after an intense blowout. It doesn’t get flat or oily by the next day either. Turns out this Moroccan Oil craze might be catching on for a reason.

How to use it? Hair can get limp quickly so the idea of oil can turn people away.

Here’s what we learned:

First, wash hair and towel dry.

Use about a quarter-sized dose before combing out your hair as it will help detangle it. Rub the product in your hands and apply from roots to ends, but concentrate on the ends especially if your hair is very fine.

It’s great to put on before using hot styling tools as it protects hair from up to 400-degree heat.

Another great tip: Use it before swimming. Wet hair with tap water, apply the oil and then throw on a bathing cap. This is a trick that protects your hair from drying chlorine and definitely recommend to use it the next time you head to the pool.
