Moroccan Oil

I’ve finally got my hair the length I want.  I’ve always tried to grow my hair, but loved the excitement of coming out of the hairdressers with a new style, and therefore never managed past my shoulders.  However with willpower I have managed to resist the hairdresser’s scissors, other than trims, and now love the way my hair can be curled and still long.  Although I’m still faced with an internal quandary when entering the hairdressers (knowing I’ll leave looking pretty much the same!) for the time being, I’m still going strong.  However the ends of my hair aren’t so much. 

I’m definitely a GHD addict and along with regular dyeing, my hair has its fair share of damage at the ends.  This leads me to my current debate as to whether to finally get on the Moroccan oil bandwagon.

I’ve heard a lot of buzz about the Moroccan oil and its amazing conditioning and strengthening properties.  Currently it has a 4.2 rating on Makeupalley - pretty darn good.  It is for these reasons that I was particularly excited when my hairdresser brought out a bottle in a recent trip to the salon.  My hairdresser used the oil from the mid section of my hair down, concentrating on the ends.  I couldn’t say I could see an immediate difference when looking at my hair, however upon touching it did feel noticeably softer.  The effect also lasted longer than I expected, even after washing my hair.  So it all looked promising apart from one thing...the price.

Now I don’t mind spending a bit more on hair products that work really well (case in point, I couldn’t be without my Kerastase Ciment Thermique) however £29.85 for 100ml?  I’m not sure if I can bring myself to do it.  Has anyone else bit the bullet and gone for it?
