  • 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: Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo

    I loved the Moroccanoil Body Moisture & Shine Shampoo which I used intermittently for a few years, but I couldn’t find it anymore in stores.

    Instead of that, I bought the Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo, which seems to be more popular.

    What I liked about it:

    • It does prevent split ends
    • Hair is easy to comb after this shampoo
    • Hair feels healthy

    What I didn’t like about it:

    • It doesn’t smell as nice as the Moroccanoil Body Moisture & Shine Shampoo
    • Hair gets greasy fast

    I don’t think I will repurchase this shampoo, I hope I will find again the Moisture and Shine one. If I won’t, maybe I will repurchase the Repair shampoo, although it didn’t impress me.

    I’ve got this little cute box with 3 Moroccanoil Hair Products:

    Moroccanoil Review
    • Moroccanoil Treatment Original
    • Hydrating Styling Cream
    • Luminous Hairspray Strong

    I’ve been using both the Moroccanoil Treatment Original and the Hydrating Styling Cream for a long time now. I think they are good products. They don’t do wonders, but they are pretty good. They don’t make my hair heavy and they smell nice, but not too powerful. I like them, although I do still have some split ends that maybe I shouldn’t have since I’ve been using so many hydrating and nourishing products for my hair.

    I also have the Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream in the bigger format. Since my hair is not thick, a big bottle is enough for a whole year. I use the little recipient just when I travel. I’ve already wrote a full review about it: REVIEW: Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream.

    The Moroccanoil Treatment Original is a mixture of oils that leaves hair nourished and easy to detangle. I also wrote a full review about it here and I also compared it with other serums I’ve used throughout time: REVIEW: Moroccanoil Treatment Original.

    About the Luminous Hairspray Strong I don’t have a “strong” opinion. I feel that it makes my hair shinier but I didn’t use it with some heavy hairstyle that required strong hold, so I don’t really know if it is really strong or not.

    I also use Moroccanoil Shampoo and Conditioner and, of course, I wrote about them: REVIEW: Moroccanoil Body Moisture & Shine Shampoo + Conditioner Fragrance Originale

    Compared with tons of other professional hair products, the Moroccanoil products are kind of good and I would almost dare that they are the best. Even so, they don’t fully fulfill my hair needs. They could be better, but, for the moment, they are the best I have.

    REVIEW: Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream

    I received this Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream as a gift. Because I have long, fine hair, prone to split ends, I use it in combination with this Moroccanoil treatment. I mix both products in my hand and I apply to my lengths (hair wet), then I blow dry or leave it to dry by itself.

    The styling cream is supposed to hydrate the hair and also have an frizz-ease effect. It hasn’t got any “hold” power. Although it does hydrate and does have an anti-frizz effect, it doesn’t do wonders. BUT I never met a product that did wonders to my hair and I can truly say this is the best product I tried so far.

    As I already said, I don’t use it by itself because I feel that it doesn’t help me much with the split ends. For the split ends, I use the treatment I mentioned above.

    So, what I DO like about the Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream is:

    • hydrating (although not enough to prevent by itself my split ends)
    • anti-frizz effect
    • makes hair easy to detangle
    • smells amazing
    • in 6 months I used half a bottle (so about 25 ml per month, meaning that a little goes a long way)

    What I don’t like is that the hydrating effect and the anti-frizz one aren’t really very powerful. But, again, no other product that I tried in the past was.

    So, all in all, I think I’m going to use the Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream for a long time.

    I also bought a travel size because since my hair doesn’t really look good if I don’t apply the product and the 300 ml bottle was too big to take it with me when I travel.

  • REVIEW: Moroccanoil Treatment Original

    REVIEW: Moroccanoil Treatment Original

    There is a big fuzz about the Moroccanoil Treatment Original product. I’ve been using it and, as you can see, it is Lemmy approved.

    Moroccanoil Treatment Review

    I’ve tried many many serums for my hair, but none seemed to have a real effect on it. Just to state a few of my (almost) negative reviews:

    Wella Oil Reflections – Luminous Smoothing Oil

    Alfaparf Milano Lisse Design Keratin Therapy

    Kerastase Touche Finale Polishing Serum

    I am not saying that these products are bad, it is just me that didn’t feel an improvement of the hair with these products.

    BUT, with the Moroccanoil Treatment Original serum I did feel an improvement. Here are the PROS:

    • less frizz
    • almost zero split ends
    • easy to comb and style
    • smells great
    • doesn’t weight down my fine hair

    The CONS would be that it is not enough to style the hair. I also need a styling cream and that all the PROS, while being true, aren’t very powerful. Well, yes, the frizz is less, but… I still have frizz. Anyhow, all in all, it is a good product and it definitely helps your hair in looking and actually being better.

    Also, because I didn’t really think I would like it when I bought it, I got a small bottle. The small bottle doesn’t have a pump, so it is a little inconvenient to use it. Next time I will get the big bottle…

    I’ve also been using the Moroccanoil Shampoo for a while and I think I will momentarly stick with this brand. I kind of like it.
