Reddit reviews Marc Anthony Argan Oil Exotic Oil Treatment, 1.69 Ounces

I currently use the Kerastase Resistance line. Kerastase (parent company is L'Oreal) was the brand I kept seeing mentioned when searching for "best hair products money can buy." I guess you're supposed to go to a salon that's trained in using their products because they can best recommend which line of their products to go with, but no salons near me use them so I just spoke to someone on their online chat to determine which would be best for my hair.

So, I use products within that regime, plus the other stuff I use regularly:

• Kerastase Soin Premier Therapiste (pre-shampoo, and sometimes if I don't feel like I want to use the mask I'll use this after shampooing as well as conditioner)
  
• Kerastase Bain Therapiste (shampoo)
  
• Kerastase Masque Therapiste
  
• Kerastase Serum Therapiste
  
• Marc Anthony Argan Oil Exotic Treatment - After I'm done blow drying my hair, I'll put a bit of this into my hands and run it through my hair to make it really smooth and shiny.
  
• Batiste dry shampoo
  
• Garnier volumizing hair spray - Although I've been using this less and less. I mostly would use hairspray to try to spray down flyaways / frizziness, but I've noticed that I have so many fewer of them now. As a result, I really cut back on hairspray (which seems good since it can be drying I'm sure).
  
• Schwarzkopf Osis Dust It Mattifying Powder - I might throw some of this in too, depending on how serious I am about volume. I have noticed that this can tend to cause more flyaways though, so I've eliminated this product from my everyday use.
  
  Some other favorite products that get occasional use (mostly if I'm also straightening my hair):
  
• Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray - Sprayed into my hair after the Kerastase Serum Therapiste to give volume while blow drying (and so hair is still voluminous after straightening).
  
• Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil - Sometimes I'll use this to make my hair shiny and nice looking, but usually if I'm really doing my hair (for a party, going out, etc.) when I know I'll be okay just washing my hair soon anyway since this is a little heavier than the Marc Anthony for daily use.
  
• Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dryspun Finish - This stuff is absolutely amazing for adding volume.
  
  In doing some research on hair products, I decided that not all silicones are bad and that it's mostly about making sure they wash out. Kerastase seems to use "better" silicones, and I'm assuming that at this price point you're probably getting a good wash as well - i.e., I figured everything probably does work well together, so I try to stick to the same line as much as possible and I've been pretty happy.

To me it sounds like you have high porosity hair because of the medication. My mom had a similar issue with her hair becoming damaged after she bleached her hair so she could change the colour to a light grey (which it looks absolutely gorgeous now). First of all, do NOT use any heating tools (straightener/curling iron/blow-dryer). If you're anything like me and you feel like you absolutely have to, please use a heat protector. Secondly, do not brush your hair when it's wet. I would avoid anything with plastic beads on the end, combs and bristle brushes are your best friend right now (or finger detangling!!!!). Comb out the ends first, and keep going a few inches higher each time - this will save you from breakage. Try to brush your hair as little as possible though.

I encourage you to be absolutely filthy now as well. Wash your hair only when you absolutely need to (every 3-4 days is what I recommend, even longer than that if you can postpone it). Your hair gets greasy when not washed for the same reason your face will get oily, glands in the skin produce sebum. You want sebum to build up so it can moisten your hair and keep it from drying out, this is like a natural conditioner.

I also recommend a protein treatment for your hair as well. The accutane is sucking out all the moisture from your hair, so you're going to need to artificially put some back in. On top of this, I recommend leave in oils. Moroccan Oil is what I like to use. You only need a small amount and that full bottle has lasted me nearly two years - I use it every time I wash my hair and I absolutely love it. If you're looking for something a bit cheaper I can also recommend Morocco Oil. On top of all this, you may also want to do a deep hair conditioning 1-2 times a week. Unfortunately I have no recommendations on a product for this.

I hope your acne clears up though! Accutane was such a pain to take. It dried out my skin pretty badly when I was taking it, to the point that I just felt like stopping after a couple of months. However I didn't, kept taking it for 2 years, but my acne has not been an issue since!
