Holland and Barrett Moroccan Argan Oil Treatment

I havent used it but might give it a try. Skimming through the ingredients, it dosnt look like it contains any silicones. It is mostly oils from different plants.

Do you think it was worth the £8?

Yeah, well my hair is pretty damaged at the moment, so nothing seems to be nourishing it enough really. I imagine it works wonders on healthier hair, it does give it a good shine and the ingredients are very oil-heavy, as you said, which is always good!

What is actually so bad about silicones? I think I must have missed something because I don't know why everyone is avoiding them :s

Its only because they coat the hair to make it seem healthy. Some people dont like that

Yeah they can mask the true condition of your hair. I think they're ok personally, as long as you're aware that your hair may not be a nice and shiny as it seems. Also they can make your hair a bit lank if they build up too much, but that's easily removed with a clarifying shampoo.

(My main problem with them is with people who over process their hair but think everything is ok because they used cone-heavy stuff - unaware of the above - that hides damage and think everything is hunky dory.)

Ah I understand now. I know I've been fooled in to thinking my hair's not dead by hair products before. Thanks for clearing that up 🙂
