Moroccan Argan Oils :D

I'm in love with moroccan argan oil :) It's like a leave-in conditioner, or shine serum, but along with moisturizing and causing shine, it makes your hair stronger and helps protect against heat damage.

The two kinds I have are Mystic Divine and Creme of Nature. I bought them from Sally's Beauty Supply. Mystic Divine retails for around $12 and Creme of Nature goes for $20.

They both have a thick oil texture (think vegetable oil) but they soak very well into the hair, leaving very little on my hands. So here are the differences.

Mystic Divine smells sweet, like a raspberry-ish perfume. The smell goes away once it dries. It comes out pink and the bottle features a nice little pump. It takes me about 4 pumps to get enough for all my hair. Once my hair dried, it was fluffy and soft, not sticky. No build-up :) I used it on dry hair for extra moisture and that worked well too. My rating: 9/10

Creme of Nature smells like a musty, coconut-y perfume, but the smell goes away too. It's thicker than the Mystic Divine and can be used as a hot oil treatment. I guess that's why it doesn't feature a pump, just an open neck to pour out. It might be aimed towards people with really thick, frizzy hair. When I used it on my wet hair, my hair was soft but heavy and slightly limp. I used it on dry hair and my hair got sticky and gross from only using a little. My rating: 6/10
