Like you, I wasn’t immune to the Moroccan oil craze when it first hit in the late 2000s, and applied the stuff religiously—completely oblivious to the sad reality that I have long, fine, grease-prone hair, and oils in general just aren’t my jam.
Still, my friends raved about it (and many still do), so the first couple of years of my 20s were spent optimistically smoothing my locks with hair oil, hoping for bouncy, shiny waves and to cover all traces of my dry ends. Every time though, I was left with a cruel reality check: Within hours my roots were greasy (didn’t even put oil anywhere near there, thanks), and my hair felt heavy, and lost a lot of its natural movement. Sad.
I did all the right things, and tried oiling only the ends, using less product—hell, I even applied while my hair was wet—but never loved the result. Somewhere along the way I resigned myself to the decision that I should give the hair oil trend a wide berth for good, until Kérastase’s new Elixir Ultime Beautifying Oil Mist ($58) landed on my desk.
