You asked, we’re answering. Some Moroccanoil products are designed for hair only; others can be used on the scalp with care. When considering Moroccanoil: Hair vs Skin applications, here’s how to avoid irritation and still get that signature shine—without messing with your skin barrier.
Hair-Only Formulas (and why)
Hair serums and styling oils are built to add slip, smooth frizz, and boost gloss. They often include silicones, fragrance, and film formers that are brilliant for hair fibre—but can irritate facial skin or clog pores. Keep these to mid-lengths and ends, not your face or hairline.
Scalp-Safe Approach
Your scalp is skin—so treat it gently. Choose lightweight, rinse-off scalp treatments, and clarify build-up weekly if you layer products. If you’re fine-haired or oily-prone, avoid massaging heavy oils into the scalp; focus on targeted serums and pro treatments instead.
Dry Skin vs Dry Hair—Use the Right Product
If your face feels dry: use products made for skin (correct pH, designed for pores).
If your hair feels dry: use a hydrating hair mask + leave-in designed for the cuticle. Mixing these up is where irritation happens.
Moroccanoil Body Range
If you want to experience the luxurious feel of Moroccanoil on your skin, you can try the new Moroccanoil body range which includes; shower gel, body butter, dry skin oil and body lotion.
Stylist Tips for Gloss Without Irritation
• Apply hair oil from mid-lengths to ends—avoid the hairline.
• Start tiny: one to two small pumps; add more only if needed.
• Wash pillowcases frequently; oils transfer overnight.
• Clarify once a week if you use serums daily, then follow with hydration.
