MOROCCAN OIL PRODUCTS vs. Argan Oil

 Ok so I pulled all of this info off of the Moroccanoil Products Website to quote them on how their products work. I also attached videos at the bottom of each section for you all to watch on what the products are good for and HOW-TO-APPLY 🙂

“At Moroccanoil®, our passion is empowering beautiful transformations. We started with the original Moroccanoil Treatment which revolutionized the haircare industry. We built our reputation on positive word of mouth from runways to salons to editorial spreads. Our antioxidant infused, nutrient rich, innovative formulas are unmatched and provide dramatic results. That is why salon-exclusive Moroccanoil® is preferred by professionals and consumers alike — because our products simply work.

We invite you to experience Moroccanoil® and discover the performance behind the headlines.

Our story began when our co-founder, Carmen Tal, was traveling in Israel.  After a color service that left her hair badly damaged, a friend brought her to a salon where she experienced an astonishing oil treatment. The result was that her hair instantly transformed  from damaged to shiny, smooth and manageable. Inspired by the incredible results, Carmen set out to share this unique oil treatment and its benefits with women around the world.  At the time, oil treatments were unconventional for hair but Carmen was undeterred by this obstacle. She and her husband teamed up with a group of visionaries to perfect this amazing formula.  The result – they introduced Moroccanoil® to the world.

Moroccanoil® has become a haircare industry sensation embraced by celebrities, runway stylists and women, the world over.  At the core of our success is quality.  We have perfected The Moroccanoil Treatment and extended the line to include solutions for every hair need.  Our formulas not only leave hair naturally smooth and shiny, but also improve its actual condition to make it stronger with each use.  We are proud to have created a new haircare category, and even as we grow, to always remain unique in our industry.

Moroccanoil-

Moroccanoil Treatment’s versatile, nourishing and residue-free formula can be used as a conditioning, styling and finishing tool. It blends perfectly with other products and even speeds up drying time. This treatment for hair completely transforms and repairs as its formula transports lost proteins for strength; fatty acids, omega-3 oils and vitamins for shine; and antioxidants for protection. It absorbs instantly to fill gaps in hair created by heat, styling and environmental damage.

 Moisture Repair Shampoo and Conditioner are for hair that has been weakened or damaged by color, chemical processing or heat styling. They restore hair by bathing it in a highly concentrated formula rich in antioxidant argan oil, reconstructive keratin and fatty acids. Both products restore elasticity, moisture and manageability. The formulas are free of sulfates, phosphates and parabens, so they’re safer for the environment and won’t dry, fade or strip color-treated hair. They’re even free of sodium chloride, making them safe to use after keratin treatments.”

I have been doing TONS of research and cannot find anything that specifically states what this product is made of, however I have tried it myself and there is absolutely NO comparison! It was greasy and slimy. It also had a tanning oil smell to it, which I dont particularly like to smell like that on a daily basis. 🙂
I also noticed that in the ingredients there is such a LOW percentage of actual argan oil which is what Moroccanoil is made of. I believe Argan just stole the name to sell a cheap product that people would buy.
My belief is… YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!! So if you can go to Sallys and get Argan Oil for $5… and Moroccanoil Products are $20+??? There is probably a REALLY good reason for that! 🙂

All for now everyone! ~adelle
