After that long post on my Schwarzkopf Amazon haul and hair bleaching, i thought i'd share a bit on the hair oils i use for daily maintenance of my new ash color.
From left to right:
OGX® Argan Oil Of Morocco Extra Penetrating Oil, Organix (rebranded as OGX®) Hydrating Macadamia Oil Dry Styling Oil, Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Penetrating Oil, Caudalie Divine Oil, Kenra Professional Platinum Silkening Gloss
1. OGX® Argan Oil Of Morocco Extra Penetrating Oil
What it does:
Heal, smooth and restores shine to dry coarse hair.
My opinion:
Heavily scented, as are most of their products. I've been alternating use of this with the other Morrocan oil i have from OGX but this is better i think.
2. Organix Hydrating Macadamia Oil Dry Styling Oil
What it does:
Restores moisture to even the driest of hair.
My opinion:
Heavily scented - Smells sweet, like honey but much, much sweeter. Loved it! My hair felt so soft and smooth after application and you can use it as a styling oil too!
3. Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Penetrating Oil
What it does:
Adds shine, strengthen hair and offers UV protection. Unfortunately, i think this product has been discontinued, in favor of their newer Penetrating Oils in clear packaging.
My opinion:
Heavily scented - sweet smelling. Loved how my hair feels after putting this on. Soft and smooth.
4. Caudalie Divine Oil
What it does:
- A lightweight multitasking oil for face, body and hair.
- Grape seed oil contains antioxidants including Vitamin E which helps to build tissue, promotes hair and skin growth and adds shine.
- Sesame oil promotes shine and conditions hair, is rich in vitamins E, D and B complex making it effective in scar reduction and soothing skin and scalp.
My opinion:
The SMELL!! If you hate fragrance, you'd better run from this oil. Far Away. The fragance is strong - Scent is a sweet powdery scent heavily dominated by vanilla.
It will feel rough on hair initially but leave it overnight and you wake up with soft hair! I also used it on my face as a last step because sesame oil is occlusive while grape seed oil is an emollient.
On skin, it absorbs bloody rapidly, so fast i thought maybe i didn't put it on in the first place.
5. Kenra Professional Platinum Silkening Gloss
What it does:
- Tames frizz and smoothes flyaways.
- Protects against humidity.
- Ultra-lightweight, shine-enhancing serum.
- Heat application promotes optimum shine.
My opinion:
It smells so sweet! Like candy! It does make my hair soft and smooth. And sweet-smelling.
Phew. So many oils! You can't go wrong with either argan oil or macadamia - both are just as good for dry hair but if you want shine, go for Argan; if you want softness and smoothness, go for Macadamia.
