Moroccan Oil Treatment for All Hair Types
This was the first oil treatment that I tried, and I must say it was love at first use. I used it in a similar way to using a serum: applied a few drops to the mid-lengths and ends of hair before blowdrying. Having never used a hair oil before I was slightly concerned that it would leave my hair flat and greasy (I hate it when my hair's flat), but that wasn't the case at all. When my hair was dry, it felt much silkier and smoother than usual and looked shinier, without compromising on volume, and I didn't notice any residue. The website also claims that the oil reduces drying time but I didn't find this. I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of the bottle it comes in, I found it difficult to dispense the exact amount that I wanted to use, and if you're a little on the dozy side (guilty) and don't screw the lid on tightly enough it leaks. A lot. That being said I do think that this improved the condition of my hair from the first time I used it. Moroccan Oil retails at £12.85 for the 25ml bottle, which is the one I had and it lasted for a while. It's definitely a product that I'd be willing to recommend and purchase again. I'd also like to mention that I've used the shampoo and conditioner from this range before and absolutely loved them too.

Argania Organic Moroccan Argan Hair Oil
Described as a "fast absorbing treatment that instantly creates brilliant shine", I found this product to be an inferior version of the original Moroccan Oil Hair Treatment. Again it's applied to damp hair before blowdrying, much like a serum. The smell is heavenly - it has notes of vanilla and really is divine. The bottle is huge (100ml) and seems to last forever, so at £14.99 it is good value for money. It delivers everything that Moroccan Oil does but to a lesser degree. I also bought the shampoo and conditioner from this range, but I wasn't blown away (although the smell is out of this world).

V05 Give Me Moisture Hot Oil
After reading about these hot oil 'shots' on various beauty blogs, I knew I had to try them out for myself. The directions for use are a bit of a faff, but the finished product is worth it. Before washing hair, you take one of the 'shots' and place it in a cup of hot water to heat the oil. Before shampooing you massage into wet hair and leave for one minute and then rinse and wash as usual. I was sceptical at first, after all how much good can 15ml of oil do in one minute before being washed away? Well, it turns out quite a lot. Of all the oil treatments I've tried, this is my favourite - I really noticed a difference, even while my hair was still wet it felt so much smoother. It delivers shine and softness and doesn't weigh my hair down at all. I use this treatment about once a week to give my mane a treat, and at £4.29 for four treatments they're a brilliant beauty buy.

Ojon Damage Repair Restorative Hair Treatment
I received a sample of this overnight oil-based hair treatment, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to try it out before buying a full jar. So I'll begin with the smell: it was weird, kind of like chocolate but not quite. I didn't mind the scent too much - it apparently comes from the Tonka bean, but I've read reviews from people who found it completely unbearable. The directions state that the treatment should be warmed up in the palm of your hands before being applied to the hair in sections. I enjoyed warming the treatment up, it turns from grainy wax to oil before your very eyes. I had to use a lot more product than was recommended to coat all my hair (my hair is fairly long and thick) and when I was done I looked quite frankly ridiculous (definitely save this for when you're home alone). You must leave it on for a minimum of 20 minutes, or overnight for a more intensive treatment. I opted for overnight. When I washed it out the next morning I did notice that my hair felt softer in the shower and when I dried it. However, no matter what I did I couldn't get any volume to return. I don't think it left a residue as such, my hair just seemed heavier. It is for this reason I wouldn't splash out £16 for this product. Any damage reverse that may have occurred was quickly undone by the endless back-combing and curling that had to take place the following day.
