I can't believe I'm writing a review for a hair care product, but Moroccan Hair Oil is probably the BEST hair care product I've ever used; after following the directions, I saw a distinct difference in my hair in just three days. It's softer, less dry, less brittle, more shiny, and looks so much better. AS a 49-year old, those days of full and glossy hair are over. This product helps a lot. TOTALLY worth the money, in my opinion. And it's true, a little goes a long way.

There are a lot of reviews for this for people with thick, dry, coarse hair. Well, I have very thin, limp and split-ended hair (too much ironing!) and my mom bought me this product for Christmas and I think I have died and gone to heaven. First of all, a little goes a long way and make sure to only use it when your hair is super damp. That being said, this product is a miracle worker. It keeps me limp locks moisturized but it doesn't weigh them down at all. It smells amazing and it really reduces the drying time (so in a sense it is also eco-friendly! less electricity needed!). I am recommending this to anyone and everyone. I may never go without the product ever again. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

I admit that this product is good but it's certainly not the best product out there for what it does. I purchased a bottle of Moroccanoil about a month ago after much debate because the concept of adding oil to keep my hair soft and frizz free is not new to me. I am currently using Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream and love the product but I finally broke down and decided to give Moroccanoil a try because of all the great reviews here and on the internet.

When I received the Moroccanoil I decided to put the product to the test to see what it can do, so after washing and towel drying my hair I divided my hair into two pig tails and used the Moroccanoil on one side and Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream on the other side. I then allowed my hair to air dry (as I usually do) and compared the results.

The result was there was not a noticeable difference between the two sides, basically both sides of my hair were soft and frizz free.

My second test was to use the Moroccanoil by itself, with no Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream at all. I washed and towel dried my hair, applied only the Moroccanoil and then allowed my hair to air dry. The result was some of my hair was frizzy, other parts were oily looking and yet other parts were soft and frizz free. I decided to repeat this test again later in the week under the assumption that I perhaps I used too much oil or didn't spread it out enough but the ended up with the same results.

The last test I tried was to use the Moroccanoil with Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream together which resulted in my hair being frizz free, and not oily.


The problem I have with Moroccanoil is most of the time it seems to work well only when combined with Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream and when I am able to finally get this product to work by itself the results are similar to Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream.


Other disadvantages I have found with Moroccanoil is the glass jar and the control factor when you pour out the oil. Because it's liquid oil (unlike oil in a cream base) I found that it's easy to pour the product out too quickly. Also the Moroccanoil is not something I have found for sale other than on the internet.

My conclusion is for MY hair the Moroccanoil doesn't spread well by itself and when it does it requires the aid of another product. The results are similar to a product I currently already use (Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream), is not a better price, is harder to use and is not readily available for purchase.

I'll be sticking to my Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream.

My hairdresser introduced me to Moroccan Oil two years ago and I've used it after every shampoo ever since. The price seems steep, but the thing is, I'm STILL USING THE SAME BOTTLE two years later, so it is worth the investment. This serum really is an oil, it smells (to me) faintly of roses, but not overpowering. This is how you use it: after towel drying your hair, pour a tiny bit, about the size of a nickel, into the palm of your hand and work it through your damp hair. Then comb the oil through. You can style as usual. I have very thick, curly, dry hair which I have colored every few months at the salon, and the oil really works to keep the color vibrant. In the humid weather we have here near the ocean, my hair can really get wild, but again, the oil keeps it under control without weighing it down or gunking it up. It is really worth the investment.

I really wanted this to work for me but it doesn't. If you look at the ingredients it is mostly a concoction of silicones with a little argan oil thrown into the mix. It feels like aless viscous version of frizz-ease and works exactly the same on my hair, which is wavy/curly/frizzy colored blonde and medium fine in texture. I actually have to use a fair amount of product to get the frizz fighting benefits. I'm sure that is related to the dry and porous nature of my hair.
The packaging and scent of the product is superior to Frizz-Ease, in fact the scent is definitely the best aspect of the product. I love the scent!
I've been using Living Proof no frizz products to control my hair and find them vastly superior to this stuff. But I had to try MoroccanOil to find out if the hype is for real.

Finally a well known hair secret of the east is now available in the west. Moroccan Oil is truly worth every penny. It penetrates your hair follicles versus sitting on top of your hair which many hair care products do. With the use of only a little oil in the palm of your hand (dime size) you begin by rubbing the oil in the ends of your hair and then throughout the rest of your hair. Your hair will not feel oily, greasy, or heavy. Instead you will have a healthy natural shine and will find over short usage, your hair will look and feel much healthier. Many salons that carry this product are mixing this oil into the hair colorant as it helps treat the hair during the coloring process. I love this product and highly recommend it.

This product is amazing for any type of hair from what I read. Thin fine hair (like mine) thick coarse hair, curly, straight, short, long.....

My hair is unfortunately very thin and very fine and long (past my shoulders). The girl at the salon put a bit of this in my hair before blow drying....I was like "you just put what in my hair.....oil?!?!" Who would think that oil would be good in hair such as mine? I immediately think oil would weigh it down and make it greasy. To my surprise, it was quite the opposite!!! My hair felt so luxuriously soft and smooth just like natural shiny healthy hair. I am in love! Unfortunately all they had left was the one open bottle that she used on my hair, and I loved it so much I bought that one from her at a discount. I will absolutely be purchasing this product forever and ever!!! This is one product you will not be sorry for spending a little more $ on!!!!

LOVE this product! My hair has never, ever been softer. And it is a frizzy mess without a product in it. I HATE the container it comes in. It leaks and drips and gets all over everything! For the price, can't they come up with a better bottle???? Hello!?!? A pump, a flip top, anything would be better than this. Packed it in my suitcase last week and yep, you guessed it! Everything in my toiletries bag was COVERED in oil. UGH.

I have to say I was reading about this so called "liquid gold" and thought well I have to see what this is about. My hair is extremely dry and chemically treated- and needs moisture and something to smooth things out. Well I have used this oil twice now - after the shower- while my hair is still damp- and WOW! my hair is so extremely soft and actually looks and FEELS healthier. The oil did not weigh my hair down at all, which tends to happen with serums and oils for me. and I love the texture- the oil is thick- just a little bit went a long way. I would highly recommend this product for sure!

I have baby fine hair that I can air dry in a curly style and blow dry to a straight style. This product is terrific. It's very light weight so my fine hair isn't flattened. My hair feels healthy and looks healthy too. I hate to say it, because I love Amazon, you'd have to be nuts to buy it here. I can get it for $40 at my salon. Why pay over $6 for shipping.
