How to Use MoroccanOil on Curly Hair to Tame Curls and Manage Frizz

I have no relationship or received no compensation from Moroccan Oil company, and I based this post on my own experience. There are products that I swear by that I have to share with the world. When a reader emailed me about my hair regiment and said: “you should write a post about this,” I thought you’re right. So Dalia P. this post is for you and includes tips on how to use Moroccan Oil on curly hair.

Dream it.

I wish I had perfect curls every day, but that is not my reality. Everyone with curly hair knows how vulnerable to frizz it is. On day 1, it can be great, but then on day 2, things are not always easy to fix.

Not all curls are created equal either, so finding the best products for your curly hair is a very personal and frustrating thing. I’veI’ve tried a lot of products, and right now, the go-to for me is MoroccanOil.

Curly Hair Rescue with Moroccan Oil

I have a confession to make to all of you I usually have the worst vacation hair ever! You know how Monica on Friends went on vacation, and her hair got frizzier and bigger throughout the trip? Well, my hair can be just as unruly and frizzy as that when I hit a tropical destination or when things get humid here at home.

I have tried so many hair serums and frizzy hair treatments, but nothing seemed to work on my hair. Then on a trip to Israel, a local hairdresser got me hooked on Moroccan Oil. I bought a bottle during my vacation, and even in the hot, humid Israeli weather, my hair was actually under control.

I brought home half a suitcase filled with the oil – praying on the entire flight home that none of the glass bottles would break, but I couldn’t risk coming back and not having this miracle hair oil.

Eventually, the oil became available here in North America and soon after the line began to expand. Now Moroccan Oil is known as a favourite curly hair product worldwide.

What’s the Difference between Argan Oil and MoroccanOil

Argan Oil was founded in Morocco and is a golden oil extracted from kernels in an Argan tree. The oil has been said to provide multiple beauty remedies and can be applied not just to hair but to the face and body too.

In its pure form, the oil is costly, and many beauty products from skin creams to hair products are now using it. Yes, you guessed it Argan Oil is in MoroccanOil, so the two are virtually the same. MoroccanOil just added in some extras.

How to use Moroccan Oil on Curly Hair

MoroccanOil On Clean Hair – After Towel Drying

1. Don’t use too much, apply 1-2 pumps to the palm of your hand.
2. If you have thick or lengthy hair add another pump, too much oil can make your hair flat and greasy.
3. Apply the oil on clean, towel-dried hair.
4. Apply mostly from hair’s mid-length to ends.
5. Don’t brush through your curls; apply the treatment in a crunching motion with your fingers to avoid breaking up the curls. The less you touch or run your fingers through your hair, the better.

MoroccanOil On Dry Hair – To Tame Frizz or Boost Shine

1. Apply one pump of treatment oil the palm of your hands and gently run through mid-length to ends (focussing more on the terms).
2. Try not to run your fingers through your hair to break up the curls.

The Best MorrocanOil Products for Curly Hair

Here is a list of my must-have MoroccanOil hair products for curly hair. These are the products I use the most, and I’ve included products I use for both Curly and straight styles. I’m also sharing some new products on the market that help fight unruly curly hair.

MoroccanOil Treatment Serum

The treatment serum was the product that started it all for me. I can’t do hair without it. It’s the first thing that goes into my hair after the shower. The serum is a versatile, all-in-one product conditions, detangles and speeds up drying time.

MoroccanOil Curl Defining Cream

In addition to the Moroccan Oil treatment, I use this curl defining cream to tame my curls. I mix a few pumps of each into my hand and apply it from mid-length to the ends. I also tend to add some more to dry hair to ease frizz and add some shine to day-old hair. The important thing is not to run your fingers through your hair and break up the curls, try to pat it on when spreading on wet or dry hair.

MoroccanOil Curl Control Mousse

If you prefer a mousse for your curl definition, Moroccan Oil has added this Curl Control Mousse to their line up. The curl control mousse is particularly great for use on dry curly hair to add definition.

Moroccan Oil Glimmer Shine

The glimmer shine is one of those products that I wish came in travel size. This product is not just for curly hair but for anyone that wants to add a smooth shine to their hair. Great to tame flyaways and add a little shine and weight to manage frizz.

MoroccanOil Hydrating Style Cream

The styling cream is a leave-in conditioning treatment for your hair. If weather is particularly humid or your curls are exceptionally unruly, then you may want to add a few pumps of this hydrating cream vs the curl defining cream.

MorrocanOil Smoothing Lotion

I have to admit I have been using this MorrocanOil smoothing lotion on my curls as well as my straight hair blowouts. It works a lot like the Curl cream mentioned above, but I find the curls a bit looser, and it helps smooth out flyways and frizz.
