    Hi there!

    i was wondering if you have ever heard of ARGAN OIL.... apperently it is supposed to make you hair shiny and soft, repair split ends and take away the frizz... also it is used to moisturize your skin, and prevent wrinkles and stretch marks...

    it comes from Morocco and it is quite expensive, so i was wondering if any of you uses it or has heard about it before i decide to purchase it!

    thanks

    My hair stylist at my trial actually told me about Moroccan/Argan oil, and now I'm really into it.  I got a bottle at Ulta ("One 'N Only" brand, not the Moroccan Oil brand from Sephora) for pretty cheap, and I use it in my hair almost every day.  I have long, highlighted hair that's been through a lot of bleaching, and putting a little bit in my hair before I blow dry it makes it silky, shiny, and smooth.

    I found it on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/One-Only-Argan-Oil-Treatment/dp/B002PR2GLM

    Some reviewers said it isn't 100% Argan/Moroccan oil, which I guess is why it's cheaper, but it works great for me.  Not sure about the effects on the skin, I just use it in my hair.

    I use Moroccan Oil on my hair and it's great! You only have to use a little bit, but it makes your hair shiny, frizz free and feel overall great. You can get it at salons.

    @bimba: I like to use it right out of the shower but its not possible to repair split ends, the oil just helps them bind together they are still broken though

    @FutureMrsChaney: Is right, nothing will repair split ends. Once they are split they are split.

    I use the Morrocan Oil shampoo and conditioner and it does make my hair nice and soft and, as an added bonus, it smells great.  But there is only a small amount of actual argan oil in it.  It does contain silicone, so your hair will feel slick and heavy when wet and will take forever to dry.

    One time while blow drying my hair, I got a strand of wet hair in my eyes and it burned like hell.  After that I googled the ingredients and next to the silicone, there are other not so great things in it.  So I will probably switch to a different every day shampoo and conditioner. But I might try the Morrocan Oil oil to smooth and moisturize the tips.

    @bimba: Its good to use to protect your hair if you flat iron but if you have oily hair I would not suggest using it lol. I have a lot of clients who love it and some who hate it. It really has to do with your hair type.

    @bimba: I just started using Agradir's Argan oil a few days ago and have noticed a difference in my hair. I swim alot so my hair has devolved into a frizzy, dry untameable mess. I put a few drops in my hair right after I wash and I have seen a slight difference in my hair - it's a bit shinier, smoother and feels hyrdated. We've also had a few humid and rainy days and I think it's helped me avoid the poodle look.

    I'm not sure if it's the liquid gold that it's touted to be, but it certainly smells nice and seems to be a lighter feeling, more natural version of Frizz-Ease.

    This is what I bought...: http://www.amazon.com/Agadir-Argan-Oil-Treatment-4-Ounce/dp/B001U9M2EW/ref=pd_sbs_bt_1

Its made by Catwalk it works great then I would get the argan and do an over nite treatment with it maybe once a week.

    Thanks for the reminder, this product does work very well. My hair is long and wavy/curly and has been very dry lately so I'm pulling this baby out of the medicine cabinet. :) It is quite pricey but you need a TINY amount so it will last a while. I got mine at Beauty Brands & I have seen it at Ulta and other stores.   Is Argan oil a MIRACLE OIL? :  wedding Moroccan Oil

    I have Moroccanoil and I find the price is worth it. One bottle is $40, but the bottle lasted for 1.5yrs. Granted I have fine hair, so a little went a long way in taming frizz and adding softness and smoothness. A lot of salons also supply it, so then you don't have to pay shipping costs. I just ran out so I bought Moroccanoil Light this time. I recommend it!

    About three years ago Khiel's came out with something called Superbably Restorative Argan Skin Salve.  I was working in a high-end cosmetic boutique and we were closing our doors so I got the unused tester.  It's the best product ever.

    I use it on my hair to smooth and shine and it's great on the skin too for minor irritations or zits.  Plus, I use it around my eye area.  I tame my brows with it too. It basically does everything.  Love, love, love!

    I use the Moroccan Oil shampoo and conditioner, anyone know if it would be better to just use the serum??? Is one better than the other?

    I use the MoroccanOil Light- I have fine, blonde hair.  My stylist recommended that I use it only on midshaft to ends so that it wouldn't weigh down my hair; usually I just use one squirt but I still think it's a little heavy.  It makes my hair soft but I don't think it does anything to help the appearance of my split ends.  I like Silk Therapy by Biosilk for that.
