JUST DESERTS
A Moroccan hair treatment sweeps through the fashion world.
True story: I've been using olive oil as a hair serum for years. It works better at diffusing my frizz than any of the artificial stuff in drug stores, and it's usually cheaper, too.
So when something called MoroccanOil started showing up backstage at New York Fashion Week, and all these models and hairstylists started swearing by it, I thought, "Oh, maybe it's made with olive oil."
Close, but actually, no - MoroccanOil is made from agave oil, a plant-based substance only available in (yes) Morocco. Vegan and not tested on animals, the oil's been infused into eight different products, including a shampoo and conditioner, plus creams for curls and styling.
The products smell mellow and musky, though the actual oil itself is better for thick hair that's straight or wavy than thin wispy strands (who should stick to MoroccanOil's shine spray) or die-hard curls (which might want to try the line's moisturizing mask). But the shampoo and conditioner are amazing for all hair types, and leave a protective, glossy coat on hair long after you turn off the shower.
Will I give up my olive oil? Probably not. But my old shampoo and conditioner just got bumped to the bottom shelf of my bathroom, and if MoroccanOil doesn't sell out from Ricky's (the only place we've found it in NYC), they'll probably stay there.

this stuff is AWESOME!!! your hair looks super shiny and smooth and feels great, plus it gives your hair an amazing "drape" so it just hangs nicely...cuts drying time down considerably, and is a moisturizing treatment all in one! LOVE it!

i've been using the Intense Hydrating Mask for close to a year now and I adore it. Your hair is SO soft and shiny after just one use. It's quite expensive, but worth every penny. Don't make the mistake, however, in thinking you have to coat your hair in it and using too much, like I did the first time...

I love this stuff! My stylist introduced it to me a couple of years ago, and I've sworn by it ever since. It makes my hair super smooth, and there are absolutely NO flyaways! It works great when I let my hair dry naturally, too - the waves are separated, super smooth and long-lasting!

Actually it's made from ARGAN oil, not AGAVE oil. But it is awesome stuff, I use it daily. The Moroccanoil conditioner is great too.

I simply adore Moroccanoil. My hair dresser introduced it to me. It makes my hair shiny as can be and helps my hair not feel healthy after flat ironing. One tip though, BUY IT ON AMAZON. It's about half the price there.
