Review: Alchemy Grapefruit Hair Remedy Oil

I was kindly sent this hair oil from Alchemy via EtailPR, it has taken me a while to get round to writing this post as I have had a lot going on recently! I have tried a few hair oils such as Moroccan Oil, Osmo Berber Oil and the Argan Dew Oil, all of which I really like but I haven't fallen in love with one. I have the *Alchemy Grapefruit Hair Remedy (£17.99).

Firstly, the design of the packaging is so unique and cute - also there is a lot of product in one bottle (100ml)! The packaging in terms of aesthetics is great but I would prefer a pipette dispenser to make using the product a little easier and less messy. The oil does smell nice, it is a sweet grapefruit scent which is quite light and refreshing although I would personally prefer a warmer more autumnal scent rather than a fruity scent. Apart from the practical issues with the packaging/bottle, the oil is quick and easy to apply and work into the hair. I use it when my hair is damp and it leaves my hair smoother, softer and more manageable! Also the ingredients are fantastic, for example, the oil contains: organic coconut oil (coconut oil is a fantastic beauty multi-use product), organic avocado oil, sweet almond oil and more!

Overall, the packaging design is cute but I wish it came with a pipette dispenser. The scent is nice and the oil feels like it really nourishes my hair, leaving it smoother, softer and more manageable. Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5. One star off because of the dispenser and because it is a little expensive, in my opinion.

Review: Moroccan Oil Light Treatment

I have wanted to try Moroccan Oil (the genuine, original one) for ages, I have tried some hair oils but I have been disappointed in one way or another with them. I was kindly sent this hair oil treatment from Hairtrade via EtailPR, click here to check out my disclaimer. 

I have the *Moroccan Oil Light Treatment (£31.85) but you can buy a smaller 25ml bottle. The bottle came with a screw cap on and the pump separately and it was easy to change. I love the packaging and bottle of this product, it looks really luxe and expensive which makes me want to use it more! The text is easy to read, the bottle feels quite heavy and the product has an 'ultra light formula rich in anti-oxidant argan oil that instantly absorbs into hair to immediately enhance manageability, shine and deliver long term conditioning without leaving residue'. This product is aimed at people with fine or light hair, neither of which I have, but it works really well for my thick, long, coloured hair. 

The pump is really quick and easy to use, it dispenses a good amount of product each time and the oil has the most amazing scent. The oil smells musky and almost like coconut - it smell similar to the new Nuxe fragrance (which I adore!). To use, I apply one pump to my hands and then rub my hands together so there is an even distribution and work it through the mid lengths and ends of my hair. I use it on dry hair and wet hair and it works equally as well either way. On dry hair I find it works to tame frizz and smooth but on wet hair it is more detangling, frizz fighting and nourishing. 

The oil doesn't weight my hair down or make it greasy in any way - it adds some shine but it is not a greasy shine and it leaves the nice scent in my hair. I feel like this product conditions and nourishes my hair while providing smoothing and frizz taming results. I think this one bottle will not last me a long time as I am using it every other day! I think that this product is definitely worth the money and for me personally it lives up to its claims. ★★★★★, 5/5!
