Moroccanoil Travel Kits

Good news for Moroccanoil lovers who’ve been waiting: the travel kits have arrived!

For those of you who are not yet familiar with Moroccanoil products we’ll first give a quick rundown of what makes people love the brand. Afterwards we’ll go over what is in the kits.

“Moroccanoil is what I call a very cosmetic brand in the sense that it feels good, smells good and will help you obtain luxurious hair.” — Emmanuel Noel, Salon owner and Master Stylist

"All we usually hear about it from clients is “I love it!” — Britney, Stylist


About Moroccanoil
Moroccanoil is named after argan oil, produced from the kernels of the argan tree, common to Morocco. This oil is valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties. A powerful antioxidant and UV protector, Moroccanoil's proprietary argan oil blend is rich in vitamins and natural elements that fortify the hair, including Vitamin F (Omega 6), Vitamin A to improve elasticity, Vitamin E to protect against free-radicals, and Phenols to shield against environmental stressors. The Moroccanoil products restore shine and softness, are not tested on animals and contain no animal ingredients.

"Touchable hair" is the one comment which sums up our clients' experience of Moroccanoil products.

“I usually recommend Moroccanoil for thick, dry, curly and colored hair,” says Emmanuel. “Because Moroccanoil products are heavier than other lines or brands, I might not recommend them for clients with thin and fine hair as they won’t be able to obtain the volume they may be looking for.”



The Travel Kits

Moroccanoil has actually launched two travels kits. Both kits come with
  • The Moroccanoil Oil Treatment
  • Moisture Repair Shampoo
  • Moisture Repair Conditioner
  • Choice of the Intense Hydrating Mask or the Luminous Hair Spray
"The argan oil is good for both your hair and scalp,” says Meredith. “It’s moisturizing and shining without being too heavy.” The shampoo and conditioner included in the travel kits can be used daily or every other day. If you opt for the kit containing the mask, Meredith recommends only using it once a week in place of the conditioner.

As part of our front desk staff, Meredith gets to hear a lot of the feedback about our products from clients who have actually used them. “For the Moroccanoil, I’ve only ever heard one negative comment. It was from someone using the Moroccanoil Treatment, but using waaay too much. You have to use it sparingly.”

The Oil Treatment for All Hair Types (0.85 fl.oz): This oil is the foundation of all Moroccanoil product. It is the original Moroccanoil treatment. Don’t be afraid of it because it’s an oil! You can apply it on a daily basis before styling. Start with a small amount in the palm of your hands, and work it carefully through your damp hair.

The oil treatment provides you with a natural, silky finish and brilliant shine without any residue. It protects your hair from damage caused by drying or over-processing, and helps restore over-processed and damaged hair to its natural condition.

Stylist Stephanie also recommends cocktailing it with your favorite styling products. Again, just add a drop to your product, emulsify the two together in your palm, and then lightly work through your hair. She has added to a spray, for example, to enhance the anti-frizz benefit. Stephanie finds that it generally plays well with most products, so experiment!

The Shampoo Moisture Repair (2.4 oz) and The Conditioner Moisture Repair (2.4 oz): The formula for each product contains keratin, healthy fatty acids and proteins. The two products are sulfate-free, phosphate-free, and paraben-free. They are safe to use with color-treated hair and help repair chemically treated hair.

This Shampoo and Conditioner set is good when you want to get rid of static, and if you don’t want your hair to feel ‘squeaky’ from being needlessly stripped. Because they do not lather excessively, they are well suited to travel.

You can choose between getting the kit that includes the Intense Hydrating Mask or the one with the Luminous Hairspray:

The Mask (2.53 oz) is particularly effective for dry, thick, and coarse hair, hair that craves moisture to stay healthy. Use up to twice weekly until hair restores itself.

The Spray (2.3 oz) is perfect for any hair type. It produces a long lasting natural hold without stickiness or build up. The spray is a great humidity blocker, and helps give texture to hair. Junior Stylist Paul does many of our client blowdries. He has found the Moroccanoil Spray very workable and that it does not over-stiffen hair. He finds this true even if you apply it before drying the hair, which is relatively rare quality for a styling spray.

The products come in a white waterproof holder that is perfect for the bathroom, beach and swimming pool and that can be reused as a beauty case.

That’s our overview of Moroccanoil and its new travel kits! If you’ve not experienced it yet, we invite you to try the line out when you next visit your stylist at Atelier Emmanuel.
