Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use
I've got naturally curly hair that can get a bit frizzy in the summer months. I received a sample of this and I noticed a difference the first time I even tried it. My hair feels soft and has less noticeable frizz. I think I will be purchasing a full sized bottle on my next visit to Sephora.

Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky
This is possibly my new favorite hair oil! It leaves my Very curly hair soft and weightless. It does not weigh it down whatsoever. I use one dropper full on my hair (I have below shoulder length curls) and sometimes a bit extra on the ends. The more times I use it the better results I seem to get. It smells beautiful. LOVE it!

Really works....
-04.24.13
Quick Take: easy to use, lightweight, non-sticky
I just bought this product last week after reading all the great reviews. I have blonde curly hair, it can get frizzy and it is also colored, so there is some damage but not a lot. I have used both John Frieda products and Argan Oil before trying this and all gave my curls kind of a wet, heavy look that I just didn't care for. But this absolutely did not. I can see a difference in my hair in just a week and my hair feels fuller, less frizzy and my curls have a very nice shape. Great product and I am glad I decided to go ahead with it. The price actually is not too bad either and for the little you have to use I think it will go a long way. Also I have been able to cut out many of the other products I was using as this really does it all (except I still use a little mousse and some hair spray), so in a way it is saving me money. Would definitely recommend but not for those with very fine hair, which I think the product states anyway. The only thing that was a little weird for me, was when I wash my hair the folllowing day with this product in it, it feels a little strange and heavy, not sure if the contact with the water is doing something or not. But really not a big deal.

Just tried it for the first time and I'm in love. My hair is very thick and long, this makes it so shiny and smooth, and made it much easier to straighten and style it. Will definitely order again.

Awesome oil
-04.21.13
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use
I have curly hair - not super tight curls, but def more curly than wavy. Anyway, pretty much all Moroccan Oil products, right down to the shampoo, are too heavy for my hair, and my hair gets greasy and dirty as a result. This is the first oil I ever used that was light enough for my hair, but still worked to smooth and enhance. Highly recommend.

Quick Take: lightweight, easy to use
was concerned about using this as I have thin, fine hair. This is the best oil, ever. I use it on my hair wet and just let it dry naturally which I've never been able to do before b/c I look awful. I can usually just blow it out for shape and DONE

Bamboo Smooth Kendi Oil Pure Treatment Oil
-04.17.13
This stuff really works on my dry, coarse, curly and colored hair. I use it after I wash and it does tame the frizz. Get into Sephora and get a sample. I use it about twice a week and a little does go along way (about 5 drops for my long hair). I have tried the Argan oil and was not as impressed as I had thought I would be.

This oil is a gem! Just a tiny bit goes a long way. I use this daily after my hair is towel dried and leave it in before blow drying. I have very thick, course hair and this makes my hair satiny smooth. It has a very pleasant smell too. I will continue to purchase this amazing oil!

LIFE CHANGING
-04.09.13
This changed my life, and completely repaired my hair. Then I ran out, and decided to give other brands a shot (B&B Invisible Hairdresser Oil and Ojon Rare Blend) and my hair was a MESS. I just purchased my second bottle of this, and my hair is amazing again. I just dont think there is anything else like it. I have recommended this to everyone that I know. I have naturally wavy hair. I brush through it with a boar bristle brush, and I apply a quarter size amount to the ends of my hair, and it is untangled, soft, and smooth all day! I also use after the shower on damp hair, and as a treatment sometimes before I shower.

Quick Take: heavy but not too much
I use this on my hair dry and it does smooth it out and does not feel heavy. No change on the ends - if they are split, cut! This could help prevent new ones maybe - too soon to know. Don't know yet about Summer heat and swimming.

Quick Take: it's okay
I tried it and returned it. This brand is awesome, don't get me wrong, but I prefer another brand..
I didn't care for the dropper-style bottle, and I didn't notice anything too special about the way it works. I would use on the ends prior to blow dry.

My Favorite Frizz Cure
-03.29.13
Quick Take: lightweight, non-sticky, easy to use
For years I have been looking for the perfect product that would let me air dry my long, wavy/curly hair without looking like a frizz head. This stuff is wonderful. It is the only product I use in my hair now and since day one my curls have been smoother, softer and frizz-free.
I've been using it for just under a month and it does not feel heavy or greasy on my medium/fine, color treated hair. My hair looks noticeably healthier than it has in a very long time. I will definitely be re-purchasing.

My go-to hair magic!
-03.23.13
I use this on my fine, long, straight hair about 3-4 times per month. I love the results. I live in dry Colorado and after I've used this, my hair is silkier, smoother and less prone to static. I notice the difference stays in for about three washes after I've used it. It's worth the extra time and money.

I'm Impressed
-03.16.13
Quick Take: easy to use, lightweight, non-sticky
I have tried Moroccan Oil and thought it was ok. I didn't get the results that others did. My hair was still frizzy and dry looking. I was a little hesitant to try yet another oil. From the first use I noticed a huge difference in my hair. My hair is dry, frizzy, curly, damaged and absolutely no shine. After one use my hair looked healthy and shiny( not greasy). There was no frizz and my split ends looked better. A little goes a long way, so this bottle will last a few months, if not longer. Does what it says it will and a great value for the money. I'm impressed!!!

Smoothing...
-03.03.13
I don't use this very often but when I do it really smoothes my hair. I love the smell and it's not too greasy as long as you don't apply too much.
