Moroccanoil is one of the most popular hair oils. It gained its fame thanks to the numerous Hollywood hair stylists who often used it for their stylisations. After application, hair is indeed renewed — nothing can take better care of it than correctly chosen oil matched with hair and porosity type. Does Moroccanoil work on the very principle?
The composition of Moroccanoil holds argan oil which is known for its nourishing properties on hair — argan oil not only regenerates strands but also protects them against harmful external factors and does not allow toxins to penetrate inner hair structures.
Moroccaonoil contains a high concentration of argan oil and would be a perfect regenerative treatment for hair if not for the two silicones and alcohol denat — which is casing dryness, short-chain alcohol and when used for a longer period of time — it contributes to increased hair damage. Cyclomethicone and dimethicone silicones make it easier for oil to penetrate inner hair structures but at the same time these damage external hair coating. These are volatile silicones and — luckily — after some time evaporate from the hair, but in order for it to disappear entirely, you have to wait several hours. In this time hair may has it coating damaged and its inner structures will suffer dryness.
Moroccaonoil is not suitable for scalp oiling, so it is not capable to nourish and regenerate hair bulbs. It should be a base action for every hair oil treatment — nothing is able to regenerate better than oils. Only hair oils manage to penetrate hair root and fix it.
Moroccaonoil can be used as a beautifying emulsion and to discipline hair: applied on dry or damp hair ends will ensure it with gloss, elasticity and beautiful appearance. It is a perfect cosmetic for one season (e.g. during summer or winter when dry air is the most harmful). Unfortunately, long-lasting and frequent use of Moroccaonoil can cause hair dryness.
