I'm already a huge fan of Moroccanoil as a brand (the Intensive Mask was my first real hair splurge) so when we received the invitation at work to come and have our hair styled with the new smoothing range, I literally jumped at the chance, in fact I may or may not have put my hand up to volunteer on behalf of the team.
I arrived at the Urban Retreat Spa on Harrods' fifth floor with high expectations and was not disappointed. My stylists for the session, Sharon and Nathan, knew exactly how to treat my dry, relaxed hair. The creative ambassador of Moroccanoil, Antonio Corral Carero, suggested they first use the Moroccanoil dry scalp treatment as my scalp was super flaky, this was massaged in and left for 10 minutes. Antonio said this would also be good to use pre-relaxed as it protects the scalp but doesn't act as a barrier on the regrowth.
They then used the Smoothing Shampoo and Smoothing Mask. I could already tell this worked a treat when Nathan was combing the mask through my wet hair as there was less snagging. To dry Sharon put three pumps of the original Moroccanoil treatment onto my hair followed by a few pumps of the new Smoothing Lotion and they blow-dried my hair with one of the new Moroccanoil round bristle brushes.
The new Smoothing Range promises up to 72 hours of smooth hair and so far, so good. My smoothed hair has endured countless trains and tubes, an overheated office and two yoga sessions and is still feeling fab. It's been great for keeping my regrowth from looking too out of control too. The range will be available in a set initially when it drops in the UK on the 1st of May, with the shampoo, conditioner and lotion, and while it is on the more expensive side, I would thoroughly recommend it!
