Morocconoil Mending Infusion

Morocconoil Mending Infusion (CAD $37) is described as an advanced argan-oil infused lotion-serum that not only mends hair to provide a frictionless finish but also nourishes, conditions and helps to strengthen hair. Additionally, the ultra-lightweight formula provides long-lasting benefits that help prevent future damage over time, resulting in healthier-looking, touchably-soft and silky hair with each use.

The key ingredients include Argan Oil(help restore elasticity, smoothness, and manageability to hair while imparting brilliant shine), Galactoarabinan(it provides vital moisture and helps restore a healthy look to the hair), Baobab Extract(to improve elasticity and increase hair strength), Panthenol/Provitamin B5 (hair conditioning agent and moisturizer to enhance hair shine), Coconut Alkanes(provides a smooth feel and shine, while aiding in spreadability of the hair), and Hydrolyzed Quinoa(help restore hair’s strength).

I use it at the ends of my dry hair after washing or during the week. After using this, the hair feels moisturized and the split and brittle ends do not appear to be much noticeable. The consistency of the product is light cream like and it smells almost same like the Morrocconoil treatment which I reviewed here. It is not oily or does not makes the ends oily, just smooth and better version of the hair ends. I do feel my hair silky and soft after using this on the ends. Morocconoil Mending Infusion is available at Morocconoil official website and Sephora Canada.

Aveda Shampure Dry Shampoo

Aveda Shampure Dry Shampoo(CAD $39) is described to revives hair with naturally derived powders that absorb excess oil and impurities. It is suitable for all hair types. It calms the senses with an aroma with 25 pure flower and plant essences including certified organic lavender, petitgrain and ylang-ylang.

My scalp gets oily after a day or two after washing and I tend to use a dry shampoo to extend my hairstyle and delay the hair wash. I like the smell of this dry shampoo and it does what it is supposed to do, soaks up oil from scalp. It makes the hair silky and fresh. The only issue I have with this is the packaging of the product, there is no control over how much product you want out, and for me, it is always too much, so either I try to shake a bit over the scalp or just have it on the palm of my hand and then apply to the scalp. It is very fine powder and dissipates quickly without leaving the white cast. Other than that, the formula is good, smells really good and does not leave the white powder or white stuff in the hair. Aveda Shampure Dry Shampoo is available at Aveda official website.

Overall, both these products have been a nice addition to my hair care routine. I would recommend both of these if you are looking to mend and extend your hair and hairstyle.

I have used this product on and off for the past few years but last few months i have been regularly using it. And here i am writing my reviews for same. The product comes in a very bright blue plastic bottle and has a spray nozzle over it. When i bought this product, the representative at the Aveda store used a small quantity on my hair, just a single spray amount. So, i too started using the minimal quantity as i didnt want to make my hair greasy in the first try of the product. I sprayed twice on my palm, keeping the nozzle very close to my hand and applied it to my hair after rubbing both the palms together. I have always used this on dry hair. After applying this on my hair, i make sure to comb my hair with a paddle brush so that the product gets to all hair. And it gives instant results, my hair look soft and shiny. There are less fry-aways and frizz is the least.

One thing i have noticed is that if i go above the spray twice limit, my hair start look like a bit greasy, so i think the quantity of product matters here, it may be different for different length and kind of hair, but i would recommend starting from minimal and then stick to the perfect amount once to achieve the desired result.

Overall, the product is good and can be used on all hair types. It can be used on dry hair prior to using a flat iron to get a smooth, sleek finish with added shine. It has not weighed my hair down, can be used daily.
