Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Intense Moisturizing Treatment review

A couple months ago, I reviewed the shampoo and conditioner of this Organix line. They were an extreme disappointment, I don't know why I tried with this one. I was looking for a holy grail deep conditioner and picked this one up at CVS for about $8.

The packaging is really cute. I love the colors and the sturdy material. It feels like it won't crack if I drop it in the bathtub, which I've done before (slippery soapy fingers!).

Why is this deep conditioner more watery than the everyday conditioner? It sank into my hair...and sat there. I waited 5 minutes, rinsed it out, my hair felt exactly the same as before I put the deep conditioner in.

My hair felt like...sticky straw after I towel dried. I needed to put 3 squirts of moroccan argan oil in my hair to make it feel remotely normal.

Rating: 0/10

I just don't like any product in this line.

L'oreal Power Moisture Rush Mask review

Hey :) Let me just say....it's been a bit chilly :( Is this to make up for the mild winter??

Anyway, I've been on the search for something to bring moisture back into my dried ends (from blow drying, curling, bleaching, dying). So I picked this up because it promised 10x more moisture. Every other product says 3x more moisture, so of course I'm curious.

I've been using this for about a month now. It retails for $8.00 at CVS. The product has the consistency of a light gel. You're supposed to shampoo your hair and then massage this through. Leave it in for 3 - 5 minutes, then you have soft, moisturized hair. There's no noticeable smell, for me at least.

The consistency is so liquid that I have trouble getting it to my actual hair before it slips to the shower floor -- whoops! And the packaging, with the slanted oval top, is hard to unscrew and manage in the shower.

After 5 minutes, rinsing, then air drying, my hair is....ok. It feels a bit softer than usual. No static. The bottom 2 inches of hair still feel a bit drier than usual and my hair is still tangling a bit. I'm not sure if this is what 10x more moisture feels like. It does moisturize my hair more than conditioner alone, I will admit that. There was no added shine.

After using this for a month or so, the results were always the same. Soft-ish hair the first day my hair is washed, kinda weighs my hair down. The next day (I wash my hair every other day), my hair was limp. Gross. No matter how much more or less of the product I use, it's the same.

This product moisturizes my hair, but it's nothing special. Maybe it'll work better for thinner or less damaged hair. Good enough to use the whole container but I'm less likely to buy it again. The packaging was annoying, too. My rating: 6.7/10
