Review: Josie Maran Argan Hair Oil Serum

Hi everyone!  I've just recently noticed my haul posts definitely out weighs my review posts, so I'm going to start to try and review most of the products that I buy and have been using.  I have also been insanely addicted to playing Cityville on Facebook which has taken my time away from blogger but if anyone is playing add me as a neighbor! LOL

Enough with the filler on with the good stuff....

Josie Maran Argan Oil Hair Serum

I purchased this during the Sephora FF sale in hopes that it will help my damaged hay-like hair.

My hair stats:

Long, thin/fine, oily scalp, split/dry ends

Been colored numerous times

The ends of my hair literally feel like dry hay unless I do some deep conditioning treatment then it's tolerable.  I have always been curious about Argan Oil and Moroccan Oil but since Sephora only carried Argan Oil I decided to give this a try.

Description taken from Sephora website:

Argan Oil Hair Serum
What it is:
An anti-frizz treatment that creates exceptional shine.

What it does:
It's the shine of the times! Argan Oil Hair Serum delivers instant shine and long-lasting rejuvenation. Argan Oil naturally penetrates the hair to help moisturize each layer of the hair strand for long-term hair repair so your hair actually looks and feels healthier, silkier, and extraordinarily shiny. Subtly scented with geranium and bergamot fruit oils, the ultra-light, never-greasy, non-alcoholic formula penetrates the hair shaft to seal split ends and deliver intense moisture to each layer of the hair strand. All hair types will instantly look and feel healthier, silkier, and shinier.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Synthetic Dyes
- Petro-Chemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan

I love that it comes with a pump dispenser which makes it easy to control how much product comes out.  The oil is clear in color and is a thick gel-like consistency.  From what I can tell there is really no strong fragrance to this product.

You can use this in different ways and on both wet and dry hair.  Since my problem area is dry and damaged ends I only use it for that part of my hair.  I have oily scalp so I don't put any of this near it because I don't need any more oils to weigh my hair down.  So far I have been using this daily for close to a month now.  I use about 2 pumps right when I get out of the shower so my hair is still wet and I rub it all over the ends of my hair.  After that I either air dry or blow dry my hair.

Results:
After using this my hair became manageable, felt healthy and lively again.  My ends no longer felt like hay, although they didn't become super soft they just felt touchable once again.  If I air dry my hair the oil seems to give my hair a nice bouncy airy feel.  I have also noticed that I have less breakage so this stuff might be making my hair stronger.


Overall I really like this product and will continue using it.  However, this stuff is not a miracle worker and you won't notice crazy results to your hair right away.  After I wash my hair it will feel dry again until I put the oil on and do my hair routine all over again.  So this stuff definitely works in helping improve the appearance and feel of your hair but it doesn't reverse the damage.


I think this will take me awhile to finish since a little goes a long way but after this I want to try the Moroccan Oil, but I can definitely see myself re-purchasing this stuff again in the future.
