Laugh with Mother Nature Thanks to L'Oréal Professionnel and Moroccanoil

Instead of Mother Nature laughing at you, with these two hair masks you're going to laugh with her!

MoroccanOil - Intense Hydrating Mask ($35/250ml)
This hair mask is meant for dry and damaged hair and contains Argan oil, well known for its medicinal and cosmetic properties Moroccan women have been using it forever and let me tell you their hair is gorgeous.  This mask has a nice creamy texture and I loved the scent. The price may look steep but 250ml should actually last you for a long time.  You're supposed to apply only a teaspoon of treatment on your towel dry hair but I applied more like a full tablespoon (mind you, I have really thick hair). It has to set for 5-10 minutes. The results were noticeable right away, my hair felt smoother and more manageable. For me the test to see if a mask is good or not comes when I try to blow dry my hair: enough hydration means my hair is more manageable. This mask really delivers, I will definitely keep on using it! You can go to www.moroccanoil.com to find a salon near you that carries it.

L'Oréal Professionnel Masque aux huiles, Série Nature  ($28/200ml) - Hair Mask
This idea is similar to the previous mask: L'Oréal incorporated oils (natural bran and olive oil) to this mask to soothe and tame your hair. The difference here, is that this mask takes a more natural approach. It doesn't contain any parabens or silicons. I'm not really crazy about the fragrance it reminds me of yeast or beer (hey...and I'm not an alcoholic like Lisamarie) but that's also because the scent is 100% natural.
This mask can be left on your hair for 3 minutes only and again it does a good job taming my crazy hair. This mask is sold in hair salons.  Go to http://ca.lorealprofessionnel.com to find your closest one

On a side note, both masks had a warning for you: "external use only"- I thought I would mention it...because apparently it's that important!

  1. ooh, the moroccan oil mask sounds lovely!

    i have thick hair like you (mine's wavy and coarse as well) but i still like having volume in mine, does this mask weight your hair down at all?

  2. The Moroccanoil mask just makes it really soft so yes it does weight it down a bit but I use more product to achieve that effect, I think if you use a teaspoon as recommended it would fine, it's not greasy or anything. I love Kerastase (from L'Oreal) as well - but I think this mask is cheaper (more product for your buck) and worked well for me. My hair is processed, coarse, and curly so I'm sure it should be fine for you.
