5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Softness & Control., February 18, 2009

I have natural curly hair and in FL. the humidity is my ENEMY! I have tried it all from the stores to the most upscale beauty salons. This is by far the best along with the oil for taming hair. No oily residue not even on your hands...my hair is over processed so it looks dull from time to time. This product brings it back to life like it was when I was younger. Making my hair shiny and baby soft! I bought this and the oil as a gift for my sisters and they LOVE it! I got them hooked as well. Much, much cheaper price on here than what the salons want for it. You can double the price in the salons! It last quite awhile!

3.0 out of 5 stars Gives curls form with softness, helps control frizz, pleasant scent--overpriced, though, given ingredients, September 11, 2009

I know that argan oil is pricey, but what mostly comprises this product is water, mineral oil, petrolatum, and dimethicone. Common hair products that are found in many other hair products for styling curls will contain similar and do similar. Argan oil is hardly the main player here. Nevertheless, this is priced really high.

Still, it has that lovely Moroccan Oil scent and it does do a very nice job of giving form to natural curls without adding sticky-stiffness, like some other "curly hair" products I've tried. My hair normally is VERY VERY curly and tends to frizz, so I need stuff to tame it. I experimented (semi-successfully) with various products, and in the end, I just end up blowdrying it straight, cause i hate the tangle of curls after a few days. But when I want to go curly (cause my hubby loves my curls), lately I've tried this cream with the argan oil for polishing. It works okay. My curls are better defined without a 'tacky-sticky' feel, and there is softness...and that lovely scent I'm addicted to.

This is a useful, good product, pleasant even, but be careful of quantity. Too little and you won't get good formation of curls and control of frizz. Too much and your hair will look dirty. Find your own balance and you will see good results. Frankly, it's the price that's indecent and made me take off stars. Basically, you're "waxing" your hair with petroleum jelly and mineral oil, and smoothing with dimethicone, and the argan oil is minimal. So, overpriced.

However, this in combination with the argan oil itself is a very effective duo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing for Relaxed Hair, December 5, 2010

This review is from: MoroccanOil Hydrating Styling Cream, 10.2-Ounce Bottle (Health and Beauty)

I am Black and have have had serious trouble getting my relaxed hair to grow. This is partly b/ it's really dry and breaks a lot. It is also b/ my hair feels coarse and its texture fools hair stylists into thinking that they can be rough with it when in fact it is very fragile. Nevertheless, I typically go and get a $10 wash and wrap every week rather than try to wash it myself. Whenever I did wash it myself, it would feel brittle and I'd get a lot of breakage in the ensuing days. If your hair care regimen sounds anything like mine, pick up this product.

I washed my hair yesterday with the MoroccanOil Hydrating Shampoo and followed with the Moisture Repair conditioner. I've done this before and ended up with brittle dry hair but yesterday I added the Moroccan OIl Hydrating Styling Cream to the regimen and it made a wonderful difference. I used more than the bottle instructed-- a full pump and a half and spread it throughout my hair taking care to get the ends. I also put it along my hairline so that my new growth would dry flat. Then I put a satin scarf around my hairline like a thick headband and pinned up the back of my hair and headed to the library (It's final examination time around here). It air-dried strong and sleek and felt wonderful. It wasn't stiff but rather really soft. I encountered breakage (minimal) only when I was combing the conditioner through my hair. On top of that, my boyfriend loved the smell of it and noticed immediately. I paid $15 more than the list price from amazon and still feel like it was an amazing buy. I am confident that my hair will grow now and I will not fear washing my hair anymore.

Note: my natural hair consists of very tight curls if that helps you with your purchase decision. As mentioned above, I strongly recommend this product. Though I liked this product a lot, I'm not sure how essential the Moroccan Oil shampoo and their corresponding repair conditioner are. Nevertheless, since I found such success with this product, I am going to try the intense hydrating mask and the restorative hair mask.

Note 2: the instructions say that you can use the product on wet and dry hair. Last night after my hair was long dry I used it on the ends before I wrapped it. Wrapping usually creates too much stress for my hair but I had no breakage last night while wrapping. It was the first time that I could ever wrap my hair after washing my hair myself

If you're hair issues sound similar to mine, I cannot recommend this product enough.
