Moroccanoil Review

Hello Everyone! Its been a long while since my last post but I have finally had some spare time to write this up. I also like to take my time with the products that I'm reviewing so that I give my most honest opinion of the product. I have been using the Moroccain oil for about six months now and I cannot say how much I love this product. I've tried about three other oil treatments before and this one is by far the best one yet. I know this has been featured and recommended by many people everywhere, as well as beauty gurus but here is my little grain of sand when it comes to this product.



This has a really faint scent. It is not completely over powering but its not completely unnoticeable. It has a rich thick consistency, so I would suggest using it on slightly damp hair and then brushing it out. This is so that your hair doesn't have clumps of oil. When I say clumps though, I don't mean it looks matted or gross but you can tell you have some product in your hair that wasn't distributed everywhere. Also, I suggest about a quarter size amount of product for your hair and then work from there if you think you need more.



The brand is really hard to find at just your local store like Target or Ulta, which is my main go to place for hair products, so you kind of have to search around if you want to personally see the bottle and the product. I bought the 0.85 FL Oz. /25 ml bottle from my hairdresser but I recently saw this same sized bottle at Nordstrom. They don't carry anything bigger but they do carry the hairspray, shampoo, and conditioner in travel sized bottles. Very few salons carry it and I'm not quite sure what it consists of, but if you are looking into buying a bigger size bottle or a different product from the same brand they do sell them online.  I will tell you this, the bottle is small but it is mighty. The bottle is an ideal size if you travel and it doesn't spill out as some other products tend to do with the pressure of the cabin on an airplane.



The bottle says that this is for all types of hair but I do know that they have a light version of this product. The difference between the original and the light is that the light is meant for more light colored and fine hair. For example, I have dark and somewhat thick hair so the original is perfect for my hair but my sister has finer and thinner hair so the light version would be best for her. Styling with this product is not the best if you are making curls. It holds up nicely but it isn't amazing. I think it works best for straight hairstyles. I am not kidding when I say this hair makes my hair super soft and so manageable. I live in a humid area so I find that this control a lot of that big frizz you get after walking outside on a humid day. You know the lion mane that just comes out of no where. Another thing, my hair is slightly wavy so I think that it makes my waves prettier and just so lovely looking. I get compliments on my hair a lot of the time. I recently cut my hair because of the heat and it was kind of getting everywhere but I'm amazed how well this product has made me actually like my shorter hair (if you haven't figured out, I don't like short hair). I completely give this product a thousand stars because its amazing.

Best Shampoo I've Tried Yet!

Hello everyone!

The feature that attracts me most in a person is their hair. I have to say that I love a guy with great hair so I also like to maintain my hair. You never know what guy might be admiring you from afar. Sure, there are those days that you just cannot deal with your hair because its being an unruly mess or you just feel really lazy and don't feel like styling it. I personally try not to style it as much because it is bad to put your hair through all the heat and product use. Every since I was a kid I had long hair and sometimes that is really hard to maintain, specially the ends. I have wavy hair that likes to rise like a bread in an oven when it has dried after a shower or by just being in the rain. I absolutely hate it! This increases even more in the summer because it gets really humid in Texas. I've always changed shampoos because sometimes I love them and sometimes I feel like its not working for me so I've tried all sorts of them. I usually stick to the ones you buy over in the drug store or at your local Target, but one day when I was visiting ULTA I decided that I should try a more expensive shampoo. Sometimes people say that the more expensive a thing is the better it is, but I think that it is sometimes true but sometimes it isn't. ULTA was having a sale on their shampoo that week so I said, "why not?!". (I seem to spend an a lot of my time and money at ULTA, doesn't it? haha) Like most people, I didn't feel confident enough to just grab whatever shampoo was there and smelled good, so I asked an associate at the store. I described that my hair would get really dry towards the ends and that sometimes it would just get really oily around the scalp during the third day of not washing it. She recommended that I use the Redken All Soft Shampoo because it was apparently really good and they use it in their salon. When I first bought the shampoo I was hoping it was going to be amazing, and it is! I have used this product for about three months now and my hair is really soft and it smells nice but its not an overpowering smell. I've even had my mom tell me that she loves it and she's not about spending loads of money on shampoo. The reviews on the website give this shampoo a 4.6 out of 5.0 and I have to say that I agree. Some of the common comments show the pros to be that it smells great, leaves hair soft, makes hair soft, and again it smells great. The only con is that it is a little pricey but not to fret! ULTA has a sale on these babies during the summer, and if I'm not mistaken, during the winter. The 33.8 oz bottle is retailed at $24.50 and a small amount is enough to make your whole head clean. During the sale that ULTA has the bottle cost, if I'm not mistaken, $15 and you get a free pump. So if you are looking for a new shampoo to try and don't know where to start. There are other types of Redken shampoo you can try out but I would recommend this one the most.  Just give it a go and see what you think. You can always buy the $14.50 bottle that has 10.1 oz to just try it out but I would advice everyone to wait for the sale and stock up!

p.s. I apologize for not having a picture of the product this time but it is nothing fancy looking and easy to find.
