Default Moroccan oil = Argan Oil

Unfortunately, my frizzies do not drop into gorgeous tight little curls, I get enormous giant wings over my ears which get bigger and more fly away as the day goes on. This new creme helps to control that.

My hairdresser also suggested I try some of the newer Moroccan oil products, but I am concerned that they might be too heavy and I could end up looking like I've used Crisco!

Anyone used Moroccan oil yet?

I also tried Paul Mitchell, but did not like it at all. Felt like plastic.
Yes. The Moroccan oil you refer to is Argan oil.
It does help but having humidity frizzed hair for my entire life, I have found there is no real cure.
Real short hair helps or hair long enough to pull back in a pony tail is the only answer, I fear!
I've spent hundreds of dollars on stuff to no real avail.

Argan oil is good for a lot of things.
However, be careful where you buy it and make sure it is 100% Argan oil.
The 100% is your clue.
It is not inexpensive and often other additives are put in the making of it.
It should never be in a clear bottle -- always in a brown bottle.
It's good for a lot of things besides your hair such as your cuticles, hands, etc.


It's a great product for many things and worth trying.
