Product Review: Royal Moroccan Hair Mask Treatment

I love summer. I love being outside and feeling the sun kiss my cheeks. But sadly my hair is not always enjoying it, as my hair – in spite of not swimming in pools of going to the beach (which is sadly not ideal with a 7 month old baby!) always seems to get drier and more frizzy, and even though I always look after my hair with frequent trims and treatments. Here are my thoughts on the Royal Moroccan Hair Mask Treatment;

 

 

What They Say:

"An intensive hair repair for damaged and coloured hair. Designed to combat the stresses that can leave your hair dry and brittle and your scalp irritated and itchy, the Royal Moroccan Hair Mask Treatment contains both Argan Oil and Keratin to soothe and repair. As well as nourishing follicle and scalp it protects your colour leaving your hair vibrant and touchably soft."

RRP: $29.95 (250ml) – Available from Priceline or Royal Moroccan Online 

What I Say:

Having previously trialled the Royal Moroccan Serum Treatment, which I really like, I was excited to be trialling the Hair Mask Treatment as well. My one negative about the Serum Treatment was that there was no pump to make it easier to dispense, and Royal Moroccan kindly responded to my post that a pump applicator would be added in the near future, so it is fantastic to see that this is a company that listens and takes on board any criticism as well.

This Hair Mask Treatment from Royal Moroccan is a thick creamy mask, that you would think would be difficult to spread through the hair, but surprisingly once rubbed into the hands, it softens up and is so easy to massage into the hair. And because it is so thick, it is also extremely concentrated so only a little is needed.

With a baby and no longer having as much time on my hands, I like that this hair treatment works in just 5-7minutes – and yet, the results are there. I never get around to using all those hair treatments that need to work for 20-30 minutes as I simply don’t have that sort of time on my hands anymore – and if I do use them, I rinse them out after a few minutes, and no doubt don’t get the full benefit from the product and hence somewhat wasting both the product and my money. The treatments that work in the 5 or so minutes on the other hand, are a different story, as that is about the time it takes me to use the body scrub in the shower, and followed by a quick clean of the shower before the treatment needs to be rinsed out – two birds with one stone! Me like!

Sometimes thick hair treatments are difficult to rinse out and it is as if residue remains in the hair weighing it down, but this treatment from Royal Moroccan is fairly easy and quick to rinse out.

After each use my hair less tangled after it has been washed, and consequently it is so much easier to comb out, and therefore I am not putting as much stress on my hair tugging and pulling it.

I mostly let me hair dry naturally, and once dry, it is noticeably feeling a lot silkier, and the dry ends look so much healthier and the frizz has reduced. And after using the hair treatment weekly, I can really tell the difference. My hair simply looks and feels so much healthier.

At just $29.95 this is well priced for such a large tub, also considering how high quality the treatment is and how concentrated it is. It has a nice subtle floral scent, which lingers behind, even after the hair is dry, but as this is a lovely scent, I find it quite nice.

The hair treatment comes in a large plastic tub with the gorgeous red label and a silver screw lid, and the packaging looks nice and modern. Sadly my only negative about this hair treatment is the fact that it comes in a tub, as I find it a little cumbersome and difficult to unscrew the lid in the shower with wet hands, as well as I always find that water gets into the treatment diluting it. I would much prefer it came in a simple tube with a screw lid.

What I Like:

• Concentrated and efficient
• Easy to rinse out
• Leaves hair soft and healthy looking
• Nice packaging and lovely scent
• Well priced

What I Don’t Like:

• That it comes in a tub, I would prefer if it came in a tube

Overall, I really enjoy using this Hair Treatment as I can feel that a weekly treatment does wonders to my hair, it is simply looking and feeling so much healthier, that I highly recommend this Hair Mask Treatment from Royal Moroccan.

Product Review: New Royal Moroccan Serum Treatment

Once upon a time I could never have dreamt of putting oil into my hair, but over the last couple of years I have realised the benefits, and love how it makes my hair feel and look. Here are my thoughts on the updated *Royal Moroccan Serum Treatment;

What They Say:

"Formulated to leave your hair both stronger and feeling softer, the Royal Moroccan Serum Treatment creates long-lasting shine without leaving hair feeling heavy. It’s naturally-rich Argan Oil formulation is non-greasy and combats frizz to leave hair naturally manageable."

 

RRP: $29.95 (100ml) – Available from Priceline and Royal Moroccan Online

What I Say:

The Royal Moroccan products have just unveiled a new look. The Turquoise packaging has been replaced with a deep rich burgundy colour which has been inspired by the colours of Moroccan décor. And I really love this chance in colour, as the turquoise colour was simply too similar to the Moroccan Oil brand of products.

 

 

Inside the burgundy box you find a gorgeous glass bottle with the golden treatment serum. The Royal Moroccan products contain argan oil known for its nutritive, cosmetic and medicinal properties, and it claims to work to make hair soft, silky smooth and easy to comb.

I usually wash my hair every second day, and on the days I don’t wash it, after I have combed it, it does look a little frizzy and the ends a little dry, but using the oil is making my hair look and feel so much nicer, shinier and healthier. It simply controls the frizz and ‘gathers’ the ends.

I have also used the oil after washing my hair before combing it, and it makes it such a breeze to comb my long thick hair. And once dry, my hair is clearly enjoying this extra moisture treatment, as my hair feels soft, shiny and very moisturised.  

After having used the Royal Moroccan Serum Treatment daily for several weeks, I do feel that my hair is feeling moisturised and is looking , and without the oil having built up in my hair or weighing it down.

The Serum Treatment has a beautiful and delicate sweet natural scent, and as I really like this scent I would like it to linger around for a bit, but unfortunately it fades rather quickly after the oil has absorbed into the hair.

 

 

As mentioned, the Serum Treatment comes in a glass bottle, which does make the oil look more luxurious than if it had come in a plastic bottle, and in fact the glass bottle makes it look more like a bottle of perfume. However, the glass bottle is also a little impractical as you don’t want to drop it on the bathroom floor, as well as it is not particularly handy for travelling.

The serum in very concentrated, so a word of advice is to only use a little at a time to avoid your tresses becoming greasy, you can always go back for seconds. And due to the bottle having a very large opening, it is very easy to dispense too much product so it would be nice if it did come with a pump, or at least a small plastic cap inserted into the opening to be able to better control the amount of oil you get.

What I Like:

• Fantastic a making your hair easy to comb, reducing frizz and providing the hair with a moisture boost
• Great price for a large 100ml bottle
• Very concentrated so the bottle will last you a long time
• Has a gorgeous scent
• The luxurious look of the glass bottle

What I Don’t Like:

• The glass bottle which is not very practical
• The large opening of the bottle which makes it easy to dispense more oil than needed, and hence waste unnecessary product

All in all, it is a great Serum Treatment is a great product that makes my hair feel soft, tames flyaways and gives it a healthy shine, all while not weighing it down or making it feel greasy. At $29.95, it is great value for money, compared to other argan oil hair products available on the market, and a bottle will last you forever as it is so concentrated. If you’re looking for a new hair oil, then I highly recommend that you try this one.

Product Review: Royal Moroccan Serum Treatment

I have quite long hair, which consequently has been through its fair share of damaging hair styling and hair colouring sessions, and as a result, my hair is often looking a little dry and lacklustre. Like most others, I have taken a liking to the new hair oils, so I happily accepted when I was asked to trial the Royal Moroccan Serum Treatment. Here are my thoughts;

What They Say:

"The Royal Moroccan Serum Treatment will put the life back into your sun-exposed locks. This lightweight, non-greasy formula smells like summer in a bottle and creates instant shine while deeply moisturising hair, helping to prevent pesky flyaways and smooth split ends".

RRP: $29.95 (100ml) – Available from Priceline, Kmart and Royal Moroccan Online

What I say:

The Royal Moroccan Serum Treatment is packaged in a pretty in a turquoise box with white and silver writing. Inside is the square’ish glass bottle with the treatment serum.

Royal Moroccan products contain argan oil as well as other nourishing ingredients such as grape seed oil, Dead Sea water, flower extracts, and aloe juice, all of which claim to work well together to make hair soft, silky smooth and easy to comb.

At first I tried the Royal Moroccan Serum Treatment in my dry hair, and I ended up with too much serum in my hands, mainly because it was difficult to dispense just the amount I needed, and consequently my hair was left feeling little to greasy, although it still left my hair looking shiny and healthy, with no frizz.

When I next used the hair, this time in damp hair, I was a little more careful with the amount I used. I put into my damp hair before combing and styling it and it made it so much easier to comb my hair (in spite of using conditioner too), and after letting my hair dry naturally, it was soft, shiny and felt very moisturised. 

Since then, I have used the Serum Treatment both as a protector prior to heat styling my hair, but also as a shine serum on the days that I do not wash my hair, and as a treatment on the days I wash my hair, and the product is making my hair look and feel so much nicer, shinier and healthier. In terms of long term result from using the Royal Moroccan Serum Treatment, I do feel that my hair seems more thoroughly moisturised, clearly thriving from a daily treatment boost. In spite of using it daily, I do not feel that the Serum Treatment in any way is building up in my hair, or weighing it down. The Serum Treatment has a beautiful and natural scent, which does not linger too much but fades soon after the serum treatment has absorbed into the hair.  

In regards to the glass bottle, I have to say that I do not find it very practical, and care definitely must be taken when handling the bottle in the bathroom, and especially after using the hair serum as it does tend to leave your hands a little greasy. However, the glass bottle no doubt does make the product seem more luxurious than if it had been presented in a plastic bottle.

 

The bottle also has a very large opening, so it is difficult to control how much oil comes out, and it is very easy to get too much, which is both wasting the product as well as making the hair feel and look greasy. It would have been nice if the product had come with a pump, or alternatively a least had had one of those plastic caps inserted into the bottleneck, which thereby reduces the amount of product you get.

All in all, it is a great Serum Treatment that does what it promises. Only a small amount of the Serum Treatment is required, so the 100ml bottle will last you a long time, so at $29.95, I find it great value for money, compared to other argan oil hair products available on the market. I can highly recommend this, and will definitely consider purchasing it again, as well as I will be looking into other products in the Royal Moroccan range.
