The story
Moroccanoil Treatment was developed after founder Carmen Tal had a transformative experience with argan oil at a hair salon in Israel. What began as a professional backstage secret quickly became the world's most recognised hair oil — now used in salons across 90 countries. The 100ml is the most popular size for home use.
Key Ingredients
- Argan Oil — the hero ingredient, rich in Vitamin E and fatty acids; deeply nourishes, adds mirror-like shine and tames frizz without weight
- Vitamin E — antioxidant protection that supports long-term hair health and colour vibrancy
- Lightweight Silicones — smooth the cuticle and create heat protection without greasiness
How to Use
Apply to towel-dried or dry hair — a little goes a long way.
- Pre-styling: Apply 1–2 pumps to towel-dried hair from mid-lengths to ends, then blow-dry or style as usual
- Finishing: Apply half a pump to dry hair to tame flyaways and add shine
- Pre-shampoo treatment: Apply generously to dry hair before washing, leave for 10 minutes, then shampoo
Tip: Use less than you think you need — start with 1 pump for short to medium hair. You can always add more.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Moroccanoil Treatment?
It is the original argan oil hair treatment that started the global hair oil category. A lightweight multi-use oil that adds shine, controls frizz, protects from heat and improves manageability for all hair types.
How do I use Moroccanoil Treatment?
Apply 1–2 pumps to towel-dried hair before styling, or a small amount to dry hair as a finishing oil. It can also be used as a pre-shampoo mask — apply to dry hair, leave 10 minutes and wash out.
Is Moroccanoil Treatment good for all hair types?
Yes — it is formulated for all hair types including fine, thick, curly, straight, colour-treated and chemically processed hair. Use less for fine hair (1 pump) and more for thick or coarse hair (2–3 pumps).
What does Moroccanoil Treatment smell like?
It has the iconic Moroccanoil signature fragrance — a distinctive, widely-loved scent that has become synonymous with the brand. Many people say they can recognise the smell from across a salon.
What is the difference between Moroccanoil Treatment and Moroccanoil Light Treatment?
Moroccanoil Treatment is the original formula for all hair types, particularly normal to thick hair. Moroccanoil Light Treatment is a lighter version specifically for fine, thin or light-coloured hair that would be weighed down by the original formula.
Which size should I buy?
The 25ml is ideal for travel or to try the product. The 100ml is the most popular size for home use and lasts 2–3 months with regular use. The 200ml is the best value for frequent users or long thick hair.
