Natural Nourishment For Your Hair
5/17/2012
‘Moroccan oil’ is a popular US brand of hair treatments and styling products, and is now being discovered by stylists and the public all over the UK. The brand ‘Moroccan oil’ is named after their signature product, a traditional treatment that contains Argan Oil which is found exclusively in Southwest Morocco. Natural Argan Moroccan oil is a highly concentrated antioxidant which contains a rich blend of vitamins, which when applied regularly can help to strengthen hair. In addition, Argan Moroccan oil can give hair a high shine finish and increase elasticity, which can be hugely beneficial for hair that is weak or prone to snapping and breaking.
Moroccan oil products are available to suit a range of needs and hair styling routines and the original ‘Moroccan oil’ Treatment Oil is a very simple product to use. It should be applied to damp hair, after shampooing and conditioning, and gently worked through with your fingers; you can then style your hair as usual. The Argan Oil contained within every Moroccan oil product offers a great level of protection for your hair; it provides a natural barrier to UV damage, and can help to control frizz and damage bought on by cold weather, central heating, and gusty winds. Moroccan Treatment Oil is also recommended for use before colouring your hair at home, as it can help to nourish and protect your hair underneath your colour. To use before applying your dye, measure about approximately 5ml (about one teaspoon-full), and apply directly to your hair, massaging from root to tip – this will help your hair to absorb the colour that you apply, and may even help your hair colour to last longer. The oil does not need to be rinsed out; you can simply apply your colour or bleach on top and continue as usual. The application of oil will enhance the shine and depth of your colour, and improve your hair’s elasticity. Moroccan Treatment Oil can even be used on hair extensions to detangle and hydrate hair!
Whilst the original Moroccan Treatment Oil is a leave-in product to deeply condition and reconstruct the hair, you might like to try the Restorative Hair Mask for use during a bath or shower. The Hair Mask is designed to penetrate deeply into the hair to help revive natural elasticity and shine; the formula also contains a high level of proteins which help to strengthen the hair shaft. To use the Restorative Hair Mask, apply a generous amount to damp hair, and leave it to work its magic for 7-10 minutes. Doing this in the bath can be great, as the heat will open up the hair shaft and allow the treatment to penetrate even deeper. Alternatively, after applying the conditioning treatment you could wrap your hair in a warm towel to achieve a deeper level of conditioning. The treatment that you choose will depend on your hair care needs and your everyday or weekly routine. If you regularly enjoy a relaxing hot bath then the Restorative Hair Mask could be your perfect product, and if you have a busy schedule then incorporating the Moroccan Treatment Oil into your styling routine may be the easiest option!
