Wanted to mention a product I have been using - Moroccan Oil - which has done wonders in getting out tangles. It has a blue label with orange writing. Available much cheaper on Amazon than in hairdressers. I started using the conditioner as well.


I am on my first bottle and I bought the tiniest one available. Only one or two drops are needed. Use on wet or dry hair.

'Before modern times, the Berbers (also known as the Amazighs) of Morocco would collect undigested argan pits from the waste of goats which climb the trees to eat their fruit. The pits were then ground and pressed to make the nutty oil used in cooking and cosmetics. However, the oil used in cosmetic and culinary products available for sale today has most likely been harvested directly from the tree and processed with machines.'


My bold. Food for thought ;)


I bought a bottle of argan oil back from Morocco a few years ago - it has sat on my shelf ever since. I will use it at some point when I manage to get my head around its likely origins!

I had a look online and didn't see any reference to the oil being extracted from digested fruit thankfully. There are a lot of videos which show how the oil is extracted though. If you have fine hair then the same company has come out with a slightly lighter oil to use apparently. I think Moroccanoil can also be used on the rest of the body but haven't tried it yet.
It's almost all silicone Gidget. So it's just coating your hair really. A small amount of silicone in products is fine (though try to avoid it in shampoos and conditioners, it's just you can get better oils out there with a higher percentage of oil in for half the price of morrocanoil.

We went to Morocco a few years ago and were on a bus to the coast when the driver said we would be stopping for a loo break at an argan oil producer. As the coach rounded the corner we saw three men violently shoving some goats into a tree. The goats looked right pissed off.

    • You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect 
    • I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic. 
    • To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
    • You don’t think there are right-wing politicians fanning this with rhetoric? Really?
