Not that great
I admit that this product is good but it's certainly not the best product out there for what it does. I purchased a bottle of Moroccanoil about a month ago after much debate because the concept of adding oil to keep my hair soft and frizz free is not new to me. I am currently using Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream and love the product but I finally broke down and decided to give Moroccanoil a try because of all the great reviews here and on the internet.
When I received the Moroccanoil I decided to put the product to the test to see what it can do, so after washing and towel drying my hair I divided my hair into two pig tails and used the Moroccanoil on one side and Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream on the other side. I then allowed my hair to air dry (as I usually do) and compared the results.
The result was there was not a noticeable difference between the two sides, basically both sides of my hair were soft and frizz free.
My second test was to use the Moroccanoil by itself, with no Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream at all. I washed and towel dried my hair, applied only the Moroccanoil and then allowed my hair to air dry. The result was some of my hair was frizzy, other parts were oily looking and yet other parts were soft and frizz free. I decided to repeat this test again later in the week under the assumption that I perhaps I used too much oil or didn't spread it out enough but the ended up with the same results.
The last test I tried was to use the Moroccanoil with Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream together which resulted in my hair being frizz free, and not oily.
The problem I have with Moroccanoil is most of the time it seems to work well only when combined with Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream and when I am able to finally get this product to work by itself the results are similar to Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream.
Other disadvantages I have found with Moroccanoil is the glass jar and the control factor when you pour out the oil. Because it's liquid oil (unlike oil in a cream base) I found that it's easy to pour the product out too quickly. Also the Moroccanoil is not something I have found for sale other than on the internet.
My conclusion is for MY hair the Moroccanoil doesn't spread well by itself and when it does it requires the aid of another product. The results are similar to a product I currently already use (Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream), is not a better price, is harder to use and is not readily available for purchase.
I'll be sticking to my Fredrick Fekkai Glossing Cream.
