The good Oil

The Good Oil

Moroccan Oil is one of the year's most talked about products but is it the one for your hair?

Every year there is one product that is universally adored, praised and used and the golden girl of 2010 emerged some months ago. It's Moroccan Oil. You love it, celebrities and stylists love it and women around the world are happy to pay the equivalent of $50 for a hair care product and rave about it.  It sound expensive but it lasts for at least 6 months as you only need a tiny amount.

But, until recently, I didn't get it. I'd tried bits and pieces of the range - the restorative hair mask, the glimmer shine spray - but they didn't do for my fine but plentiful hair what they seemed to be doing for the rest of the world. The hero ingredient, argan oil (described as a ''miracle'' oil from, you guessed it, Morocco) has been declared a ''cult'' ingredient from the US to the Middle East, and although an oil, the publicity blurbs assured me that it was lightweight and suitable for all hair types. But, as it turned out, not my type of hair. I felt like I was being left out of the party (or secretly the only one to know the party was a farce).

Then Moroccan Oil Light, the latest addition to the range, landed in my pigeonhole and I've joined the gang. It's great. Horses for courses etcetera etcetera never applies more in beauty than to hair products. Which ones work for you? What's proven a godsend against the odds? We all like a good discussion on hair - here's your chance to rave about what works for you (Moroccan Oil? Flex? Johnson&Johnson?) and what doesn't. Tick for Moroccan Oil Light but I can't go past Redken styling products, Aveda shampoos and KMS conditioners...
