I received a sample of this hair oil in my October Birchbox, and at first wasn't sure if I liked it or not. I really ended up liking it! I use a few drops on damp hair, from the middle to the ends, and it gives my hair lots of shine. In this post I'll show you the full-sized version.

amika Obliphica Oil Treatment Review:
I really love this hair oil! It smells nice (I can't put my finger on what the scent is), and absorbs into my hair quickly without feeling greasy. I only use a few drops, and apply to damp hair from the middle to my ends. I sometimes even use a drop or two on dry hair to help my ends.
As with all hair oils, less is more. Don't over do it or you'll end up with a greasy head of hair. Start off with 2 or 3 drops in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together and distribute the product into your hair. Experiment with how many drops work best for your hair type and if you can apply from roots to end, or just middle to end.
You can also use this as an overnight deep conditioning treatment. What I do sometimes is apply a lot of this oil (by a lot, I mean about 10 to 15 drops) to my hair - roots to ends. I usually put it up in a bun and sleep with it over night. It will absorb into your hair all those hours. If you're worried about ruining your pillowcase just put a towel on it on the nights you deep conditioner your hair with oil, but it may not even be necessary to use a towel. I just do it out of habit more than out of necessity.
I don't use hair oils everyday, but when I do I can feel and see a difference.
Overall, yes, I'd recommend this hair oil!

What do you think of this hair oil? Have you tried this or is this on your wish list? Discuss in the comments below.
I love hair oils to style my pixie haircut b/c they add just enough control without gelling the whole lot and making my hair stiff. My favorite *was* Ojon Damage Reverse but now I prefer Macademia Treatment because it's a little thicker and provides more control. I tried this one, too, and it's pretty nice but not my fave.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried this oil treatment but I got the Orofluido hair oil in this month's Birchbox and I love it! It makes me hair so soft and smooth yet with more volume - does not weight it down at all. This will motivate my first full size purchase from Birchbox.
