Moroccan Hair Oil Alternative

Hey lovely readers! I apologise again for the lack of posts lately - I have been distracted by many many things but most importantly I've been working my life away trying to get my essays done for uni so I could have the Christmas holidays all to myself! Now onto business...

We all know how much Moroccan Hair Oil is loved in the blogosphere and I must admit I've not yet given into the hype, to be honest I can't justify paying so much money for hair oil when I'm on a student budget. Which is why I'm bringing you this post today as a fab, cheaper alternative!

I introduce to you: Vatika Naturals Almond Enriched Hair Oil. Now I have a lot of Indian friends and it is a fact that their hair always looks long, healthy, nourished, thick,silky, smooth... Honestly, it just looks perfect all the time. It's also a fact that most, if not all, of them use hair oil regularly. So when I asked for some recommendations, my lovely friend Jyot suggested I try something from the Vatika range and I am so glad I did!

The oil is primarily Almond oil but with Coconut and Sesame too. Almond oil has a strong mixture of vitamins that help to keep your hair strong, prevent split ends and leave your hair looking and feeling incredibly soft. Coconut oil does pretty much the same thing, keeping hair healthy and full of moisture. And we all know healthy hair is key if you want it to grow! The brilliant thing about this is that it only costs £4.49 from Superdrug - compared to Moroccan oil this is a bargain! The only downside is that it doesn't smell great, it just smells like oil. For that Moroccan oil has it beat but I promise you if you try this you'll reconsider splurging on Moroccan oil!

The best way to use this is to apply it to wet/damp hair and leave it in overnight. You can apply it to dry hair but I've found that it absorbs a lot better when hair already has some moisture in it. The next morning just wash it out with regular shampoo and your hair will look and feel absolutely beautiful! I swear by it, my hair has honestly never felt so healthy. Have any of you ever tried this hair oil? What did you think? If not...

Give it a try, beauty lovers - promise?
