  • REVIEW: Moroccanoil Smooth Shampoo + Conditioner

    I’ve used from Moroccanoil the Repair Shampoo, the Moroccanoil Moisture & Shine Shampoo and now the Smooth shampoo and conditioner.

    What I liked about the Smooth duo:

    • It really reduces the frizz without weighing down the hair
    • It does prevent split ends
    • Hair is easy-ish to comb after washing it with this Moroccanoil duo
    • Hair feels healthy, smells nice
    • It is easy with the scalp, it doesn’t make it itchy or greasy and it doesn’t create dandruff

    What I didn’t like about it:

    • Although the smell is really nice, it comes a time in a girl’s life when she wants something that contains as few chemicals as possible. So, I would definitely prefer a shampoo version without any fragrance.
    • I didn’t find a clear table with all its ingredients and I fear that the silicones in it might “strangle” my hair on the long term. Although I am not sure about this, I have a feeling that it would be better to alternate the Moroccanoil Smooth duo with a more natural shampoo and conditioner.

    TIP:

    All Moroccanoil Shampoos and conditioners must stay 2 minutes on hair. Don’t apply and wash instantly, they need a little time to action.

    General feeling:

    The Smooth duo was better for my fine, long, frizzy hair than the Repair duo, but not as good as the Moisture and Shine version.

  • REVIEW: Kerastase Extensioniste Hair Balm

    REVIEW: Kerastase Extensioniste Hair Balm

    My favorite hair balm is Kerastase Extensioniste. Until I started to use the Kerastase hair balm, I used the Moroccanoil Hair Conditioner. I liked it, but then I’ve discovered the Extensioniste line and I liked it better.

    I always use the Kerastase conditioner after I use the Kerastase Extensioniste shampoo.

    I always leave the conditioner for a few minutes.

    It is very hydrating, but doesn’t weight down the hair.

    It also leaves the hair very easy to comb and gives a nice healthy shine.

    It also smells nice.

    REVIEW: Moroccanoil Body Moisture & Shine Shampoo + Conditioner Fragrance Originale

    I used a few times the Moroccanoil Body Moisture & Shine Shampoo and the Conditioner (both “Fragrance Originale”), so here are my thoughts about them. Keep in mind that I have thin, long and frizzy hair. These products are suitable for all hair types, but the review is written from my (hair’s) point of view.

    General opinions

    Even though it doesn’t have an astonishing effect on hair (let’s get real, no shampoo in this world will have such an effect), it really did make my hair look better and it was noticeable, not only by me, but also by my husband and my friends.

    These are some pricey products. I am not sure yet if the price is justifiable, although I think the Moroccanoil Body Moisture & Shine Shampoo is the best shampoo I’ve ever used. I am not sure about the conditioner. It smells incredible, it leaves hair soft and kind-of easy to comb, but I guess there are similar conditioners on the market, less pricey (although they wouldn’t probably smell so good).

    Also, washing my hair with these products really felt luxurious. The shampoo’s foam is so soft and calming and the conditioner smells so nice. It relaxed me and made me feel good.

    How did it make my hair better?

    • slightly less frizz
    • good hydration
    • very good shine
    • amazing and persistent perfume
    • the scalp feels great, no itching or dandruff or anything

    The fragrance

    Even though the shampoo bottle and the conditioner bottle look the same, their fragrance is different. It surprised me, but I was glad. It would have been boring if both the shampoo and the conditioner would have smelled the same. The shampoo has a more fresh, unisex smell. The conditioner has the actual Moroccanoil signature scent, it is the one who lets your hair smell like you dipped it in a bottle of Dior.

    Good to know

    • Both Moroccanoil Body Moisture & Shine Shampoo and the Conditioner must be left 2 minutes each on hair to rest. Don’t cut time, it is really worth it.
    • The Conditioner wasn’t enough to make my hair super-easy to comb, so I had to use a serum on my ends.
    • The biggest downside of the shampoo is the fact that the hair looks good only for 2 days and that’s it. At the end of the second day it looks greasy.

    Will I repurchase the Moroccanoil products?

    Probably yes. I would repurchase the shampoo for the way it calms my scalp and I would repurchase the conditioner because it smells really, but really great. I don’t know if these are strong arguments, but momentarily I don’t know any better hair products.
