Moroccan Mask

Hi everyone!

Recently I've found myself reaching for more lip balms and moisturizing lotions and it got me thinking, it's probably time for a deeper hair conditioning treatment. Why do we see dry hair only as a summertime problem?
I went out and purchased something I've had my eye on for quite some time, the Moroccan Argan Oil Intensive Moisture Treatment. I've heard many reviews raving about what a great product it is for the price ($7.99), by the way. I happened to find it at Ulta for $5.99 and with a buy one get one free deal, so it was hard to resist not picking up a matching shampoo and conditioner set as well.
The instructions on the back of the bottle were somewhat entirely ambiguous and I had to go online to find out exactly how to use this product. The verdict? Any way you want. The Organix website detailed three different methods so I choose the one that seemed like it would work best and added a few embellishments of my own.

I applied this product to dry hair, as recommended by the Organix website. It was so tough to work through that I see myself dampening my hair before trying this ever again. Then using a wide toothed comb, I brushed through my hair to apply the product evenly. Lastly I added a plastic shower cap and covered over it with a hot, wet towel.
I left it together in this way for nearly 45 minutes which I thought was sufficient time to allow heat to build up under the plastic cap.

I let my hair air dry as usual and then straightened it the next morning. I can honestly say that the mask worked beautifully. I have trouble with my hair having too much volume but this time, it didn't have enough. My hair was also incredibly smooth and smelled absolutely wonderful.
The downside is that I had to back comb my hair after straightening it the next day to see even a bit of volume. I also see this as something that can lead to greasy hair if used too often so I see myself using this on a monthly basis as opposed to the suggested once a week. I also feel that there isn't quite enough product in the container because after a single usage, I've gone through nearly half of it.

I added some before and after pictures to show just how much it smoothed down the fraying ends of my layers.

In conclusion, if your hair needs moisture and you feel that you've burnt it to a crisp with all your hot tools, this is a quick and easy fix.
