The Shampoo: Gentle Yet Effective

The Scalp Balancing Shampoo is formulated with argan oil, salicylic acid, and essential nutrients to cleanse the scalp without stripping away moisture. Salicylic acid works to exfoliate and reduce flakiness, while argan oil delivers hydration and soothing properties. The shampoo feels incredibly refreshing from the first use, creating a clean canvas for your hair to thrive. It’s suitable for all hair types, especially if you experience dryness, itchiness, or buildup.

The Conditioner: Hydration Meets Care

Follow the shampoo with the Scalp Balancing Conditioner, a lightweight yet intensely hydrating formula. Enriched with a balanced blend of argan oil and shea butter, it provides the perfect moisture balance without weighing down your hair. The conditioner detangles effortlessly, leaving your strands smooth, manageable, and full of life. Plus, its nourishing formula ensures your scalp remains calm and hydrated, complementing the benefits of the shampoo.

My Experience

Using this duo has transformed my haircare routine. The shampoo’s gentle cleansing action left my scalp feeling clean and refreshed, while the conditioner worked wonders in keeping my hair hydrated and silky. After a few washes, I noticed a significant reduction in dryness and irritation on my scalp, and my hair felt softer and more manageable. The signature Moroccanoil fragrance added a luxurious touch to the experience, making every wash feel like a spa day.

The “original fragrance” body care routine from MoroccanOil

Today we are giving the MoroccanOil original scented body range a full review. The well-known haircare brand is now mastering your body care routines with its range of Moroccan oil products. From head to toe, this set of products will have you smelling like a summer goddess.

The Collection

The original Fragrance is the most Iconic and memorable scented body care routine from Moroccanoil. The very first scent from the brand has become an iconic element of the products. Its deliciously spicy amber and sweet floral scent dress your skin in a veil of hydration and perfume.

The Handwash

If you struggle with dryer hands or adore the scent of Moroccan oil products, then using the handwash as your daily hand cleanser is a great idea. Gentle on the skin but challenging with dirt and impurities, this light, fluffy gel captures and removes dirt. Rich in argan oil, it has impressive antioxidant properties that help boost your skin's protection. Also, hyaluronic acid locks in moisture, keeping your hands flexible and comfortable. This hand wash is ideal for those who work with their hands, as it doesn't strip your skin of essential oils.

The Shower Gel

Using the same base as the hand wash, the shower gel leaves your skin fresh and ready for the day. When used regularly, the skin's elasticity, texture and tone improve. The formula is very close to the hand wash and contains glycerin for long-lasting moisture. The shower gel has an Amber, magnolia, and woody scent that is highly addictive. Inside, the formula is also reasonably clean as it is Paraben, Mineral, and Sulfate-free. Another great point about this range is that the brand uses a recyclable bottle and pump.

The Body Lotion

Now that you are smelling your best and feel fresh, it's time to restore some well-needed hydration. This weightless lotion is deeply hydration and fast-absorbing. Ideal to use every day after your shower, the formula moisturizes the skin using multiple oils (argan, Tsubaki, and evening primrose oils). The lotion is suitable for all skin types and immediately provides comfort. The soothing aloe leaf extract leaves skin softer and radiant. By using a body lotion daily, you strengthen the skin barrier function. The Moroccan oil body lotion is enriched in Omega-6 essential fatty acids, linoleic acid, and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). All these actives work together to create a healthy environment for the skin. You will want to go with it once you have tried it!

My Experience

I already use MoroccanOil hair care products daily, so I was excited to try these beauties. One of my favourite things about the brand is its delicious scent.

Hand and body wash create a relatively rich lather and feel soft. I did not feel any tightness after using them. I finished the routine using the body lotion, which immediately made me feel beautiful. My skin was glowing and, over time, became visibly smoother. You can purchase these products in gift sets which are often worth the look.

Bye-bye, problematic scalp!

If you are on this page, I am sure you know just how frustrating and uncomfortable an irritated scalp can be. From the visual aspect to the continuous itchiness, an unbalanced scalp is no joke! Moroccanoil scalp treatments are not new but promise some well-needed soothing.

Moroccanoil Dry Scalp Treatment

This dry scalp treatment is a five-minute, pre-cleansing oil. Composed of all-natural ingredients and precious essential oils, it instantly soothes, moisturizes, and exfoliates your scalp. If you need relief, then this is the product for you. The oil is specifically designed for dry, flaky, or itchy scalps. Inside its beautifully scented formula are some well-known and quick-acting ingredients:

• Salicylic acid: Helps prevent flakiness.
• Geranium oil: Soothes irritated and red scalps.
• Argan oil: Deeply nourishes the skin.
• Vitamin E: Repairs damaged hair.

The oil works on treating every element of an unbalanced scalp. It restores moisture to the scalp, which results in fuller, shinier hair. When using the oil, start by using 3–6 drops in each section of hair, massage the oil onto the scalp with your fingers and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.

How To Diagnose Your Scalp Type?

When treating your scalp, it is essential to understand why and what irritates your skin. There are four main scalp types: Dry/flaky scalp, oily scalp, dandruff, and combination scalp. Here is a guide to help you determine what scalp type you have before selecting your Moroccanoil treatment:

• Tightness and discomfort: Observe how your head feels daily. Do you experience any tightness or discomfort whilst styling it? If so, this could be a sign of dehydration or dryness.
• Oily, greasiness: You can generally tell if you have an excess of sebum on the scalp. If your hair gets dirty quickly and needs to be washed more than two times a week, this could be a sign of overproductive sebaceous glands.
• Dandruff: Same as an oil scalp type. You notice this one pretty quickly. If you have small white flakes at the roots of your hair, then this s dandruff. There are many causes for dandruff, such as fungal presence, dryness and over-shampooing your hair. Extremely frustrating, it can leave you with itchy, irritated zones on the scalp.
• Dryness and flakes: Visually similar to dandruff, dryness on the scalp results in flakes of dead skin being broken off. This is caused by a lack of oil in the skin. Dry flakes generally fall from the hair, contrary to dandruff which mostly sticks to the roots.

Which Oil Or You?

Morrocanoil has a selection of two scalp treatments. Depending on your previous diagnosis, you can choose the adapted product from the Oily Scalp Treatment & Dry Scalp Treatment.

My Review

My haircare routine is based on Morrocanoil shampoo and conditioner, so I was curious to try this treatment. I suffer from a dryer scalp type and itchiness if I style my hair for long periods. Like all Moroccanoil products, the dry scalp treatment has a beautiful scent and silky smooth texture. The oil brings an instant feeling of comfort and soothes all irritations. I use this treatment once a week to keep my scalp balanced and my hair looking healthy.

MoroccanOil All-In-One Leave-In Conditioner

MoroccanOil All In One Leave-In Conditioner is a multitasking spray that detangles, hydrates, and protects hair against breakage and thermal damage. It is a very lightweight milky formula and does not makes hair oily or greasy. The hair feels soft and nourished. A very fine spray comes out of the bottle's pump, and I spray 3-4 spritz on my towel-dried hair. I have even used it on my second-day hair to refresh them. After spraying this leave-in conditioner, my hair is more manageable and looks and feels soft and nourished when I leave my hair for air drying.

When I heat style my hair, the result is the same nourished and soft hair, but there is an extra layer of protection from the heat. My hair is silky and shiny without any residue. This is a new staple I have been enjoying very much for my hair; a keeper. Even when staying at home, it keeps my hair healthy and bouncy without weighing them down.

MoroccanOil Volumizing Mist

MoroccanOil Volumizing Mist is a weightless mist that builds hair volume and lifts hair for a look for fuller hair. Contrary to the typical hair volumizing products, this new MoroccanOil Volumizing Mist keeps the hair soft and maintains the movement and hold from root to tip without making the hair stiff and crisp.

After getting out of bed, the hair looks full for over 2-3 days, with a light touch-up in the mornings. This volumizing spray should be used from root to end and heat-styled. Overall, I love the results, there is no residue, and it does not weigh down the hair.

Overall, I am enjoying these newest launches from the brand and recommend you to check them out. Let me know in the comments if you have tried any of these products or have any questions.

Moroccanoil Dry Scalp Treatment

Moroccanoil Dry Scalp Treatment is a pre-shampoo treatment, Weightless Hydrating Mask is after shampooing the hair while still in the shower, and Curl Defining Cream is after hair wash. I am happy to report that these three products have made a noticeable difference in my scalp and hair overall. Just to let you know that I have a sensitive and problem scalp that gets buildup and dandruff easily while the lengths are dry and rough. My hair is medium wavy, and I use heat most of the time, but I have not used heat since I started working from home. I feel that is also one of the reasons my hair looks and feels healthy to me. I think the products I am using work better and show results better this way.

Moroccanoil Dry Scalp Treatment addresses the needs of a dry and flaky scalp. It revives the scalp and relieves it from itchiness, dryness, and irritation. The formula is very concentrated yet lightweight and spreads easily when applied and massaged. It is infused with antioxidant-rich argan oil, lavender, and geranium essential oil nourishes and soothes the skin. The salicylic acid in the treatment gently exfoliates to reduce flakiness while improving circulation.

I use it as a pre-shampoo treatment, massage gently while applying it, then keep it for 15-20 minutes, and then follow with shampoo and conditioner. since I started using it, I am really not sure why I have not tried this treatment before, despite being a long-time fan of Moroccanoil products, especially their Moroccanoil Treatment Original, Perfect Defense, and the body care products (reviewed here). For my soothed and comfortable scalp, this Dry Treatment Scalp is definitely going to be a staple from now on.

Moroccanoil Weightless Hydrating Mask

Moroccanoil Weightless Hydrating Mask is a moisturizing mask for dry and lifeless hair. The mask is creamy and rich yet lightweight and deep-conditioning for hair. It conditions and hydrates fine hair while weighing them down or making them greasy or oily. I feel my hair is alive, they are smooth and shiny, looks and feels healthy, are more manageable. I apply it after shampooing and on towel-dried hair, keep it on for 5-7 minutes and then rinse thoroughly.

Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream

Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream is an argan-oil-infused cream which is one of the best sellers of the brand. This is another product which I am feeling like why I have not tried before. With this curl-defining cream, my hair is hydrated without being oily or greasy or frizzy; it does not weigh down my hair, it provides texture to hair, and last but not least, my waves/curls look natural yet defined and healthy. I apply 1-2 pumps of this cream on towel-dried hair, distribute it throughout it, and then let the hair dry naturally since I am not going out a lot these days except for groceries.

My hair looks and feels the healthiest if I compare them to how they were in the last few years. I am enjoying Moroccanoil Dry Scalp Treatment, Weightless Hydrating Mask, and Curl Defining Cream for my hair and recommend you to check them out.

From the complete range of styling tools, I was most interested in trying out the New Power Performance Ionic Hair Dryer and the upgraded Perfectly Polished Titanium Flat Iron. So here I am, after using these hair styling tools for over a month, sharing my thoughts. Just to mention here that the styling tools are designed keeping in mind the demands of professional stylists – to be as efficient in terms of performance and time.

Power Performance Ionic Hair Dryer

The new Moroccanoil Power Performance Ionic Hair Dryer, with its high-performance 1,750 watts AC motor, ensures durability. At the same time, the quiet, lightweight design offers control and comfort to use and carry it. I had noticed reduced drying time from my other drier (compared to the t3 here. I used t3 and Dyson interchangeably before this dryer came into my routine). It minimizes static, leaving hair shiny and smooth. The speed-dry nozzle and curl-defining diffuser are also part of the package.  Ultra-fast airspeed is a plus for high-efficiency fast styling.

Perfectly Polished Titanium Flat Iron

Moroccanoil has also updated its titanium flat iron with advanced technology and ergonomic design that combine form, function, and versatility. Titanium allows for quick heat transfer and superior heat conduction. The Perfectly Polished Titanium Flat Iron features extra-long titanium plates for quick heat transfer, superior heat conduction, and an effortless glide for a range of silky, frizz-free styles—from sleek and shiny to wavy and curly.

The plates glide on effortlessly and smoothly on the hair. Apart from the performance, and ergonomic design, it also heats quickly in under 60 seconds and shuts off automatically after one hour. There is also a digital display for precise temperature control up to 450°F. There is a heat-resistant pouch included in the package. It has been doing a wonderful job straightening my hair – I have to pass it once or twice depending on the temperature I have set the iron on or the results I am looking for – pin-straight or natural straight. I have medium-wavy hair for your reference.
