- Q
Can anyone tell me how this compares to Moroccan Oil lite? I have heavy bleach highlights and I love the Moroccan lite b/c it leaves my hair so shiny, beautiful, soft and manageable and the smell is amazing but doesn't last. It also keeps it healthy. Like this product it's expensive but no kidding it can take a year for me to run out. That's using it everyday, sometimes several times a day. You only need a little, little bit. B/c I'm not good at returning things I don't want to get stuck with something this expensive if it's just ok. Thanks in advance for the help!
- Asked by Cece
- Official Answer By SebastianYou hit all of the main points already. It is more concentrated, which means it will last longer, it will not tint bleached hair yellow ect. We offer a 60-day money back guarantee just save your receipt and call 800-935-5273 to receive your money back if you do not love the product.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Can this be applied closer to the scalp?
- Asked by Lakshmi
- Official Answer By SebastianIt can be applied close to the scalp. To avoid clogging of hair follicles from the oil please used a clarifying shampoo once or twice a month to eliminate any build up on the scalp. Overall this product does not leave any residue on the hair. But if you are using it to moisturize the scalp, it would be important to use a really good shampoo as well.Was this answer helpful to you

LOVE!! My Secret Weapon
Okay so I have used my fair share of hair products in my day. I have tried countless top of the line professional oils and serums (Moraccan Oil, Wella Oil Reflections, Josie Maran Pure Argan Oil, etc.). It was either $$$$, too light for my hair that I constantly had to apply it, or too heavy and wei...

Not any better than most of the oils I have used.
I have curly hair so I use an oil every time I wash my hair. I was excited to use the oil because I have had great experiences with Sebastian products in the past. The oil smells great but, doesn't work any better than the less expensive oils that I have been using. This one is not one to blow the b...

This is the product you're looking for.
I am so amazed with how easy this stuff is to use. It softens and hydrates my hair before and after styling with a beautiful shine without weighing down or making my fine hair greasy. I just ordered the shampoo, conditioner and mask. I'm excited.
Great detangler and shine oil
Hair Type Straight Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product is basically a frizz remover. I think it is a little overpriced for what it does. It does smell really good! I have pretty thin hair so I'm always worried about hair oils. I use it on my wet hair and it's a great detangler that doesn't weigh my hair down.


My New Go-To for Humidity & Frizz
Hair Type Wavy Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love the Sebastian Professional Dark Oil Lite! I use it while styling my hair and also as a quick morning refresh when my fine, curly hair gets frizzy — and it works so well. One pump is plenty, I warm it up between my hands, and apply from the mid-lengths down to the ends (just like the directions say). It leaves my curls soft, shiny, and frizz-free without weighing them down. The packaging is really cute and elegant, and I love the shine it gives. I don't have much to say on the scent — it doesn't really stand out to me, but that's honestly not a bad thing. This will 100% be a lifesaver in the summer humidity!


Hair oil
Hair Type Straight Hair
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] So far, I love this product. The smell is amazing and the application process is super easy. I would say one pump would be enough, but if you have a lot of hair go for two pumps.

Wow! Impressed
Hair Type Wavy Hair
I got this on a whim during the 31 days of deals and I'm glad I did. This made my waist length hair so soft. My daughter's hair is very tight coils that always shrink and knot up. She can't do a wash and go but I twist her hair and then take them out the next day. Her hair loves this also. It is soft, manageable, and shiny. Her hair loves argan. I think it does well on all types of hair.
