Advance techniques latest addition is a Moroccan argan oil leave in treatment for your hair, sold by Avon either via a local sales representative or you can order directly from the Avon.uk.com website. It's currently on offer at the price of £2.50 and when sold at normal price it will be £5.50. I'm sure you're all aware by now, with the amount of Avon review appearing, that Avon regularly puts on offers where by you can pretty much always get it cheaper than full price.

What is it? - Argan oil has been used for a long time and is becoming more popular due to its versatility; it can be used in many ways however to save going off topic, I'm going to stick with the nourishing cosmetic side. It can be described as a moisturising aid and Avon themselves describe it as 'An exotic blend containing rare Moroccan argan oil that absorbs instantly, infusing hair with moisture and shine'. The Argan tree can be found endemic to Morocco (meaning this is the only place you will find the tree) the oil is harvested from the fruit and nuts that grow on them, hence the 'Rare' claim from Avon. I found this to be a little over exaggerated as a bit of research showed that Morocco has been expecting the demand for sometime and have been preparing with strict harvesting rules. My hair is actually in fairly good condition, but I've always had a problem with drying ends, so safe in the knowledge that I'm not killing the environment, I thought I'd give it ago.

What does it look and feel like? - It comes in a small rectangular shaped turquoise box with all the relevant information; in around 10 different languages may I add? The bottle itself is a transparent glass bottle with a turquoise pump action top with a clear lid to cover that. The oil itself is exactly how you'd imagine it to be, that yellowy slippery liquid that slightly thicker than water. I don't know why or what I was thinking, when I know the oil is derived from the seed of a fruit, but I expected an unpleasant smell but I did! So I was shocked (in a good way) when it definitely has a slight fruity aroma to it.

How do you use it? instruction are fairly vague as to how much you use but having a few go's myself now I can tell you I need no more than five squirts from the pump action top, similar to the soap dispensers you'd find in public toilets, and I have long hair and lots of it. The first time I used it I feel I used to much as my hair seemed to get really dark and bordering on greasy so I would advise to use it sparingly. Massage the oil into your hair and style as usual, really simple to use.

Does it work? - Most definitely, yes! I read in the brochure it can be used on wet or dry hair so immediately after I opened it I had a little squirt and rubbed it onto the ends. It did work a little but nothing too impressive, or so I thought. I then read the box properly, they're must have been a print problem in the brochure as it can actually to be used on damp or towel dried hair, so bare in mind I'd completely misused it yet could still see an improvement, I was happy again.

I quickly decided to try it out correctly; I have tried similar products from the same range which use to make my hair look much healthier so I was hoping for the same effect from this. I was pleasantly surprised that it actually works much better. After using it twice a week for just two weeks, my hair doesn't just look healthier, it feels it too. It shines, the dry ends have disappeared and as stupid as this sounds while I'm typing it, my hair is nowhere near as heavy as it use to be and moves much more naturally - it just feels amazing.

Would I recommend it? - Yes, yes, yes! The effect it has had on my hair was instant and seems to be lasting; people are starting to compliment me on it now. Even at the full price, my two weeks use has hardly made a dent in the 30ml bottle and it has a life span of 12 months so I think its excellent value for money. The only problem (which isn't really that much of a problem at all) I have is that it can leave my hands feeling a little to soft and slippery for a short while after use, but a simple pair of plastic gloves could solve this. The one think I will note is that I can't see adding oil to greasy hair doing any good what so ever. I'm not an expert though and could be completely off the mark as the box does clearly say 'For all hair types'

Five Stars all round from me!
