I wasn’t planning on buying this little gem but I stumbled across Argania liquid gold – light – for fair and fine hair which is just what my hair is, fine (long) and blonde. I have been dubious about oils before, I adore them on my face and body but having naturally blonde hair often means oils and products make my hair look greasy or dull but this was designed for me ! .
I only got a small bottle of this to test out before commiting to the bigger one so the 20ml comes in a little brown glass bottle with a black screw top lid. Nothing terribly fancy but similar to most oither oil type products.
The instructions say to apply a small amount to palms through to ends on damp or dry hairIt does have a slight fragrance to me it smells like it has a hint of vanilla and a slight scent similar to my rosehip oil but its very faint so even those who don’t like products with fragrance like myself can still enjoy it. . I decided to try this on damp hair first s it just feels more safe. I took a very small amount about the size of a pea or maybe a tiny bit larger and rubbed in my palms to heat up a little and spread throughout my hair from just above midlengths to ends and stayed away from my roots.
It has a very light consistency one of the lightest oils I have come across, it feels on your hand like it might be a bit greasy but its not at all. It absorbed very well and quickly into my hair. My hair thoroughly soaked it in and there was no greasy residue left on my palm – bonus.
Once my hair had dried there was no sign of greasyness or dullness which is the problem I’ve had with previous hair oils. I have problems with flyaways due to my hair being so fine and this smoothed those right away and gave my hair a lovely healthy shine to it.
This did exactly as it said for my hair it made my hair feel hydrated, healthy and shiny. I will definitely be buying again when this runs out - although you only need such a small amount you wont need to replace to often.
I would definitely recommend for those with finer flyaway hair or fairer hair that cant handle the stronger oils.
I purchased this before the colour run as they suggested using a hair oil to prevent colour sticking to my hair. I purchased the light and feel it does an ok job. When I compare it to the Joico or Kerestase product this is much lighter.
I do like this product but I prefer the salon items as I feel they have a better result. Especially when price wise this product isn't the cheapest either!
When I use this I used it as a mask for my hair. It smells divine and covers quite well. It's not greasy and leaves the hair with a lovely sheen. It's good to smooth over flyaways on the top of the head. It's also good for everyday use.
