Save and Splurge: Hair Treatment Oils or Serums for Frizzy Hair

Paris B 25 Comments

Yesterday, for the first time in a very long time, I took out my bottle of MoroccanOil Oil Treatment to use. As I noted in an earlier review, this oil was great for my hair in a very cold environment, but here in this hot humid Malaysian weather, it quickly weighed my hair down with daily use. However, my hair has been feeling unnaturally frizzy of late and this oil tamed it down a treat. No more lion’s mane! It was when I was looking at the small range of hair treatment oils on my dresser and realised just how they fell nicely into different price ranges – Save and Splurge time! 😀

I must say here that I don’t take very good care of my hair. Yeah like nails, if beauty blogging was judged on us being all rounded polished from head to toenails, boy! am I a failure 😛  But we’re not – yay! 😀 So I’m a shampoo and conditioner gal and off and on, I slap on a hair mask (usually one of the anti-frizz ones from different price spectrums). However, I blow dry my hair most evenings so it looks nice the next morning so a hair treatment oil helps keep frizzies at bay, and keeps hair from drying out too much.

Here are my top picks from different price spectrums 😀

Does the MoroccanOil Oil Treatment live up to its hype?

Quite a few people have emailed me since this post, asking if I will ever be reviewing the MoroccanOil Oil Treatment any time soon. This my friends, is a serious kick to the butt to get down to things, so here it is.

I purchased this bottle of MoroccanOil Oil Treatment for hair at the Stephan Way hair salon on New Bond St, London. I shall digress for a minute to tell you that I was pleased at how well I was treated there, although I was just literally popping in to inquire about the MoroccanOil range which they carry. It was late Saturday evening and they were down to their last customer but they sat me down, told me what I wanted to know, offered me a choice of coffee or tea and all without even knowing if I would buy anything! I did of course. The MoroccanOil Oil Treatment for £29.90 (I think) I was told also that Stephan Way Hair Salon is the first salon in London to use the MoroccanOil range and to carry it for retail. I don’t know how true that is so someone in the UK will have to clarify this.

Back to the oil treatment. I purchased the MoroccanOil Oil Treatment for hair because while I was in the UK, my hair was slowly hardening and turning to straw from the weather and hard water. It was so bad I could hardly comb it and I was quite frustrated. When I passed the Stephan Way Hair Salon and saw that they were selling MoroccanOil and remembering the good things I’d read about it, I stepped in.

Point to note: MoroccanOil is the name. Moroccan Oil is the Argan Oil they use in the product which is sourced from Morocco. Its a bit of confusion which can lead to lots of misunderstandings. This review is on MoroccanOil (the brand) not on Moroccan Oil (the oil)
