Review: Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask.

Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask*

Wow- It feels like it has been ages since I last did a beauty review, so bear with me if I'm a little rusty! Today I have a review of a hair mask from the much-raved-about brand, Moroccanoil. I must say I was very excited to be able to try this out, but once I had given it a fair trial, I was left feeling quite underwhelmed. Not because it is a bad product- it is actually quite a good product- but I don't think it quite lived up to the hype :(

The Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask* is for medium to thick, dry hair, and it claims to provide deep hydration and conditioning and improve elasticity. The product itself is a cream-coloured liquid that is quite thick in consistency, which I find is common with most hair masks.
This hair mask smells amazing- I can't quite put my finger on what it smells like, but I'm guessing it is the oil itself. It has a slightly nutty, medicated scent that isn't at all over-powering that it leaves you smelling like you have tipped a bucket of ointment over your head- instead it leaves your hair smelling fresh.

I use this product once or twice a week after I have shampooed my hair. The directions say to apply a generous amount to towel-dried hair and leave to penetrate for 5-7 minutes before rinsing it off. I always leave it on a little longer (about fifteen minutes) whilst I am relaxing in the bath or watching TV.
I can definitely feel a difference in my hair once I have rinsed the product out and dried my hair. It is usually a dry, tangled mess but the hair mask makes it a lot easier to comb through and my split ends look a lot less damaged.

The Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask definitely does it's job, however I didn't find I liked it any more than some other hair masks that I have tried that are a lot cheaper. This isn't a product that I will repurchase right away, but I may treat myself to it every now and again as I love the smell of it. You can buy this product from Hairtrade for £22.60 for a 250ml tub. 

Have you tried any Moroccanoil products?

  8. Moroccan Oil is one of the best product for hair.i would refer my friends and relatives to use it and also in most of the Hair Salon they used Moroccan Oil as main product for treatment

  9. This is a good conditioner for terribly dry, overprocessed hair. My hair is incredibly coarse and this combined with the Moroccan oil leaves it soft. The smell is fantastic!
