We caught up with MoroccanOil lead hairstylist, Antonio Corral at CosmoProf 2009 last week. The MoroccanOil booth at the CosmoProf exhibits were definitely one of the most popular amongst conference attendees.
Antonio is based in Montreal, Canada but well traveled and originally from Barcelona, Spain. He is the dark and handsome European man you always dream of meeting on your flight to Spain but somehow never do. I was so lucky to meet him and have him show me the benefits and highlights of the product in my hair.
I walked in with dry, brittle, slightly damaged hair from swimming everyday, highlights and my trusted flat ironing activites. These daily activities strip my natural oil from my hair.
The main product from MoroccanOil is a hydrating, moisturizing but ultralite oil suitable for all hair types. Antonio applied a quarter sized amount of the oil (it smells heavenly!) to my dry hair. Antonio’s tip for great hair is to start with clean, washed hair so this can be applied to wet hair. The product doesn’t weigh your hair down and reduces the time for blow drying. Moroccan Oil reverses all the damage from hair dryers, curing irons and the stress of the environment with natural Argan oil imported from Morocco. Argan oil has Vitamin E, antioxidants and essential fatty acids which MoroccanOil created a formulation of this natural oil to absorb into the roots of your hair. He styled my hair into large wavy curls and all the frizz was eliminated. My super thick hair was soft, shiny and sultry.
How to Curl Your Hair with a Round Brush, Hair Dryer, and Moroccan Oil
Antonio also shared his secret of including MoroccanOil into his color mix. It helps to extend the color and highlights applied or already in your hair. Check out the before and after pictures if you are skeptical, this is truly a great innovative, international product. For other side you can mix the hydrating styling cream with MoroccanOil treatment before the blow dry and will give even more results with dry hair. It is worth saving your money and forgoing Johnson and Johnson drugstore hair products that don’t work for this one.
Pros:
- Use very little every application
- Non greasy, ultralite formulation
- Helps hair combat damage from heat, color, other hair products
- Reduces blow drying and styling time
- Works on all hair types
- Truly hydrates hair without weighing it down
Cons
- It is a bit expensive at $39 for 3.4 oz for Original MoroccanOil
- The bottle is heavy in a large size, no trial or travel size available









I would love to give it a try! Sounds amazing… especially when my hair is dry!
Hi Kiki!
Good morning and great to hear from you. You don’t have to use a lot of this product on your hair and it helps to make it soft and nourished. I love your pic on MySpace, so cute.

I think it sounds great! I would love to try it!
I have heard so much about Moroccan Oil late,y I am super curious to try this out! My hair is dry and could definitely use some special treatment. Thanks so much!
Hey my shimmer TV,
I’m part of the Moroccan oil team.
I was very Happy when i did see this interview and video demonstration of those amazing product.thank you so much, good job!!!!!
Only a little detail, Antonio’s family’s name is Corral and not Corrales, oops!!!!
Best regards
this looks awesome!!!!
I am absolutely in love with the concept of Moroccanoil! I CAN’T WAIT to try it! I have EXTREMELY dry, naturally curly, color treated hair! Did I mention that my hair is dry? Oh, and it’s also very, very dry! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I love Moroccan oil! It is an amazing product that has worked wonders for my hair. I used the moroccan oil, and the moroccan oil intense hydrating mask and both products work terrific. Everyone at my high school is up to date on the latest beauty products, and everyone is using moroccan oil. The only thing is that they are a little pricey. I live right on the beach, so I am constantly swimming in the ocean, and the sea water really dries out my hair, but moroccan oil products really revitalize it. They’re amazing!
Thanks,
C
would be so great to try this product. Recently i have lots of problems with my hair and can not find the product which would help to deal with it.I very much hope that moroccan oil will be that one!
This oil sounds like it can do wonders for my hair! Great review! Thanks!
Moroccan Oil does wonders to my hair. It has helped my dry, frizzy, brittle curly hair become softer and shinier! I use a small amount and apply it after showering every day. It’s light and soothes my kinky hair.
Moroccan oil treatment has even helped my dry scalp. It has changed the way I take care of my hair forever! Just a few drops goes a long way and the tropical scent of the argan oil lasts all day. I continually get compliments from friends and strangers about how healthy and shiny my hair looks.
Moroccan oil carries other products such as the Intense Curl Cream that work well to eliminate dryness and frizz as well.
Love this line!
