I have only used Morrocan oil that has like .002% of argan oil..... Tam Tam.. do you like it??
I use it in my food but I buy it from whole foods. It's about $32 a bottle. And yes it does have a nutty smell
ETA: I use the culinary kind and I believe it's toasted. Not the cosmetic kind which is raw. I'm not sure if that one has a smell.
Does anybody use a local grocer to get their argan? Not Whole Foods or other chains...middle eastern? The prices being charged are way over the top. Example in comparison, extra virgin coconut oil from some companies proporting to sell pure product never before seen...and just getting it pure at the local Indian grocer...45.00 versus 3.00.
I love it so far Fab. I got it at Camden Grey for about $16 dollars for 8 ounces.
Why did I get into a mini argument w/the sales lady @ Sally's about their Argan oil? I picked up the bottle, looked @ the ingredients, and sat it back down. She said "that's our MoroccanOil." I said "Yea, I have pure argan oil @ home." She said "Oh this one is pure too." I said, "No it isn't." She said "Yes, it is." I said, "Umm, I just read the ingredients, honey. It's not pure. Besides, if it were actually the pure oil, you all wouldn't be selling it so cheap." She picked up the bottle and read the ingredients then said, "You're right, it isn't pure. That's false advertisement." Never argue with a PJ.I have two types of Argan-One is the Virgin Cold pressed (AAA SheaButter) brand purchased at Whole Foods--Its expensive...And it stinks.
The other is the "One and Only" Argan Oil that is sold at Sally's. Not so expensive and smells nice. But it is not 100% Argan.
I will see if I will continue to use after I finish the bottles :S
How does Argan Oil make your hair feel?
The one from Sally's is more like a serum. But it smells nice and is light. The Sally's brand seems to be a copy of the Morrocan oil brand because it smells the same as those products. I really prefer serums so this is good for me.
I got a sample of one n' only Argan Oil from Sally's and I used it on my wet hair prior to my blow dry. I like it. I mixed three drops of it with some Profectiv Megagrowth and my blow dry turned out VERY nice. It smells nice and light too.
Ingredients: Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, C12-14 Alkyl Benzoate, Fragrance, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil (argan oil), Yellow 11, Red 17.
I don't mind cones so it's not an issue, but I think I'd like to try the pure stuff.
I Got a "Sample" Of the One & Only Argan Oil which came from Folica with my FHI Runway. I like it.
Also, in the Box was a Coupon for $5.00 off the 3.4 ounce bottle, which would make it around $6.00 plus Shipping.
I used it. Like it. Extremely Lite. But, it's a little "too perfumey" for my taste, although, it works exceptionally well for flat-ironing.
I also have Morrocan Gold, Morrocan Oil.
Will compare both and may end up ordering Pure Argan Oil at some Point.
