Moroccan Magic Continues

Thursday December 10, 2009

I feel like I totally scored in the hair department with this one!

Moroccan Oil is known for its very unique, extra light, marvelously nourishing formula that seals in moisture and shine into the hair.  The beauty world has been completely wooed by the benefit of Argan oil and after many months of great anticipation, Moroccan Oil has added 2 new products to their line: Moroccan Oil moisture repair shampoo ($18) and conditioner ($19).

What is Argan oil anyway?

The Argan tree only grows in an area of South West Morocco called Argan.  It flourishes in the desert-like conditions and produces lush fruits much like olives yet larger and rounder.  Inside the fruit grows a large nut that houses up to three almond-shape kernels which are the source of the miraculous oil.

The benefits of Argan oil

For centuries Argan oil has traditionally been used by women in Morocco to treat hair and nails in order to counteract the effects of the hot climate and aging.  Safe and natural, light and hydrating Argan oil has many uses in the beauty world.  It is also known as anti-aging and antioxidant and is widely used in gourmet kitchens as an exotic ingredient with a rich aroma and nutty flavor.

Moroccan Oil moisture repair shampoo & conditioner go hand in hand

The first time I used the Moroccan oil shampoo and conditioner was on a client who has color treated hair.  She swims in the Ocean and pool, blow dries and flat irons daily.  Her hair get stressed out!  We both couldn’t believe how silky her hair felt afterward.  I use the shampoo and conditioner on my hair everyday, and I noticed a lot less frizz and a hella more shine.

Packaging needs improvement

The bottle is awkwardly difficult to handle due to the nature of the hard material its made of (hard plastic), and with wet hand it’s a killer.  I don’t even bother trying to squeeze out the product, instead I remove the cap, flip the bottle over and shake until it comes out.  I was assured today by my sales rep that they’re working on it.

Shaving bonus

I shaved my legs with the conditioner, hello silky smooth skin! I had to rinse out the blades more than with my regular body wash, but it’s well worth it. You must try.
