The battle against frizz has been an ongoing one for me, and more particularly so after getting highlights. I have a dream in which, with the right products, I can let my hair air dry and it will transform into glossy, smooth waves...
The Acure Moroccan Argan Stem Cell Shampoo and Conditioner have been heavily blogged about and as I'm currently on the hunt for a new conditioner that will make the above dream come true (hey, a girl can dream!), I decided to give the Argan conditioner* a shot.
First impression - texture is very liquidy, which initially gave me pause as I worried it wouldn't be moisturizing enough (it was, and it has nice slip although I did use quite a bit of it). It is also heavily fragranced. It's not a smell I particularly care for (it's a sweet, cherry like smell), but it doesn't seem to stick around so I can handle it. If you have dry/color treated hair as I do, while it is moisturizing, you definitely still need to apply a leave-in after towel-drying. Overall I think this will be a good everyday conditioner - and probably excellent for those with normal/not color treated hair. It's not a miracle product for me so my search continues, but good for the fact that it's natural and not expensive (it's about $8 and change on sale at Whole Foods). Once I use this up, I'll think about splurging on the Rahua conditioner - it's gotten a lot of buzz online and it's fragranced with palo santo oil, one of my very favorite oils evah.
