FAQ
How can someone assess the condition of a scalp?
There are four main conditions that typically affect the scalp: Dry/flaky scalp, oily scalp, dandruff, and combination scalp. It is extremely important to diagnose the scalp before determining which Moroccanoil Scalp Treatment to use. To diagnose the scalp, it is recommended that one assesses four different components of the scalp.
1. CHECKING THE TIGHTNESS OF THE SCALP: To determine the tightness of the scalp: gently pinch the skin of the scalp with thumb and forefinger. A loose, easy-to-pinch scalp indicates good circulation. A solid, tense scalp indicates poor circulation.
2. CHECKING SEBACEOUS GLANDS: Use a comb to section off the hair. Move a fingertip over the scalp and feel whether there is little, a lot or no sebum (oily secretion of the sebaceous glands) on the scalp. Counter-check over the face, as facial skin and scalp are often similar.
3. CHECKING FOR DANDRUFF: Make several partings on the scalp. Look for oily dandruff or dry dandruff. Dandruff should not be confused with a dry scalp or dry scalp flakes. Dandruff will often cause itchiness, redness and sensitivity of the scalp.
4. CHECKING FOR DRYNESS & FLAKES: Look for dry patches and powdery flakes on the scalp. A dry scalp can be compared to scaly skin—similar to that of dry skin on the face.
How do I know which Moroccanoil Scalp Treatment to use?
After assessing the scalp, one can determine which Scalp Treatment is best to use.
For a scalp with high sebum production and/or medical dandruff, use Oily Scalp Treatment. Its concentrated formula helps correct imbalance and soothe inflammation in hair follicles, which manage oil production.
For a dry, tight scalp with/without powdery flakes, use Dry Scalp Treatment. Its lightweight but concentrated formula relieves dryness, irritation and itchiness.
For a normal or combination scalp, use Dry Scalp Treatment, which improves circulation in the scalp. It is formulated with lavender and geranium oils to soothe and relieve irritation.

"Best scalp treatment I've tried so far. Clears up the itching and flakes of dry scalp"
"Love it thank you"
Scalp hydration
"This really works to hydrate your scalp prior to washing. Helps to maintain healthy scalp and hair."
Helps my scalp
"I like to put this on overnight and allow it to work. In the morning I was my hair and do my normal routine. At first I needed to use it every time I washed my hair. Now I use it as needed. I found that allowing this to work its magic during the day while at work, didn’t work for me. My hair looked and felt greasy."
Saw a Difference Right Away!
"This is a MIRACLE! My husband has a dry/flaky scalp, and after the first use, we both saw a HUGE difference! The smell is more Tea Tree than their signature scent, but we didn't mind. Also, a little goes a long way, so the bottle should last for some time."

"Love, love, love!"
Amazing Relief for Dry, Itchy Scalp!
"I’ve tried so many scalp treatments over the years, and nothing compares to the Moroccanoil Dry Scalp Treatment. From the very first use, I noticed a huge difference! The lightweight oil absorbs instantly—no greasy residue at all—and it leaves my scalp feeling soothed, nourished, and refreshed. The tingling sensation is incredibly calming and provides almost immediate relief from dryness and itching. I love that it hydrates without weighing down my hair, which is especially important for my fine, curly, color-treated strands. After using it consistently, my scalp feels balanced, my roots look healthier, and my hair is noticeably softer and shinier. Even better, it helps prevent flakiness and irritation between washes. The signature Moroccanoil scent is such a bonus—clean, luxurious, and spa-like. A few drops before washing makes all the difference. This treatment has honestly become a staple in my haircare routine! Highly recommend to anyone struggling with dryness, irritation, or seasonal scalp issues. A little goes a long way, and it’s 100% worth every penny!"
"Love this in combination with the scalp scrub!!!!"
