I have my hair professionally dyed blonde monthly, condition with a weekly deep conditioner and use Moroccan Oil (MO) after my twice a week shampoo. I had been dying my hair and using the deep conditioner forever and used no other hair products. Two years ago, I added MO to my damp hair after each shampoo. The product was wonderful for taming the frizz and adding shine.
Now two years later my hairdresser says my hair is very dry and my hair color seems to fade quicker than it did in the past.The only thing that changed in my hair care regime the last two years was adding the MO after shampooing twice a week. I did notice I was needing more and more deep conditioner to get the same softness to my hair, but didn't put two and two together. The possibility that the MO may be drying my hair makes some sense.
Did anyone find MO drying to your hair after using it for over a year? If so, did you find a substitute product to tame the frizz and add shine that didn't dry out your hair?
I doubt it is the coloring of my hair that is causing the dryness as I have been having it dyed for a decade and this problem with dryness is a very recent one. Also, Moroccan Oil is mostly silicon, not oil.

Well then, sounds like you answered your own question. Why don't you just stop using it?
If your are using a product that is mostly silicone, you are correct. Silicone does nothing to add moisture, in fact it coats the hair to "look" more moisturizer. There are a lot of products on the shelf that have all kinds of additives but are labeled Moroccan oil. I would suggest using a clarifying products to remove build up and focus on adding moisture back into your hair .

So basically you have had your hair damaged 120 times over a decade and you don't think that's the problem?!
Trust me (it's my job after all), lightening and coloring DOES damage your hair; ALL chemical processes do.
As for the Moroccan Oil, it probably isn't helping if it's silicone based. That's why I tell my clients to use natural plant based oils, which aren't drying and DO help the hair.

Hormones. That's my guess. Unless you have changed meds or something, maybe?
Might want to dial back the frequency of color appointments. What color is your hair naturally?

Good call!
I use the Paul Mitchell color line at my salon, and if you are on a 6 week schedule, around week 3-4 I ask my clients to come in to "break their base" with a "no damage" demi-permanent color, to blend the new growth to their color till it's time for a retouch.
There are a TON of causes why hair goes wonky, diet, stress, hormones, meds, etc...

My stylist does the same. Monthly is just too frequent for me!
