Moroccan Oil Hair Care
Moroccan Oil hair care products have developed something of a cult following in the world of hair products. The brand itself is not native to Morocco, but the products get their name from their starring ingredient: argan oil, a health and beauty treatment treasured in Morocco since ancient times. The Moroccan Oil hair care line offers a full complement of products from conditioners to styling treatments. Does this Spark an idea?

Products
-
Moroccan Oil hair care products are salon-grade products and are popular with professional hair stylists. You can easily recognize a Moroccan Oil hair care product by its bright turquoise label, emblazoned with an orange "M." Moroccan Oil hair treatment--the original Moroccan Oil product to storm the styling market--is a leave-in hair oil that conditions and strengthens hair while reducing drying time. The company offers a wide range of products, including shampoos and conditioners, hydrating masks, curl creams and hairspray. Moroccan Oil hair products get their claim to fame from argan oil, the signature ingredient in each of these beautifying blends. However, the products are not 100 percent argan oil.
Argan Oil
-
Argan oil is made from the nuts of the argan tree, which grows only in Morocco. Berber women work in government-funded women's co-operatives to harvest the nuts and press the oil. The nuts are smashed to reveal kernels, which are then ground into a paste and hand kneaded to release the oil in a time-intensive process that demands several days work for a single liter of the oil.

Benefits
-
Argan oil is native to Morocco and has long been treasured for its restorative properties. In its homeland of Morocco, argan oil has long been treasured for its beautifying, restorative and age-defying properties. The oil is extremely rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, nutrients that are key to healthy hair. Argan oil softens and strengthens hair and helps repair stressed tresses. For centuries, the people of Morocco have coated their hair, skin and nails in the oil. In addition to the benefits of argan oil, Moroccan Oil hair care products feature silicones that help fight frizz and add shine to the hair.
Where To Buy It
-
The Moroccan Oil company only guarantees hair care products purchased from one of its authorized professional salons. You can find the salons nearest to you using the company's salon locater (see Resources). You can also purchase Moroccan Oil hair care products online or check to see if they're available at local beauty product retailers. But be aware that the Moroccan Oil company has stated that Moroccan Oil products obtained from these sources may be counterfeited or expired.
