A Phenix City man says he's frustrated once again due to people dropping off unwanted pets at the animal shelter after hours.
We first brought you this story a couple of weeks ago, Michael Nichols told News Leader 9 the incidents stopped for about a week but now they've started again. He says people are abandoning animals at the Russell County-Phenix City Animal Shelter with no concern for the neighbors.
Last Friday, Nichols said a black Labrador was tossed out at the shelter and when he tried to take her to the shelter, they refused to accept the dog.
"Her ribs were all showing; you can see her backbone. She's got a wound underneath her belly," said Nichols. "Cars are coming down here again on the weekends. We're running outside letting them know no, you're not going to drop anymore animals off around here."
Nichols said before they take the dog to the shelter, they are offering her up for adoption. If you are interested in adopting the dog, email email@example.com.

It was about one year and a half ago that Novitec Rosso unveiled the 747 Package based on the Ferrari 430 Scuderia . This package brought out the good of the Ferrari with an increase of power up to 747 HP, hence the name. One would think that with Ferrari's release of the 458 Italia , Novitec would move on from their 430 Scuderia projects and start focusing on the newer machine. This is definitely not the case as the German tuner has brought back the Scuderia with an even more menacing package. The new version of the 430 Scuderia is called the 777 Final Edition and follows along the same lines as their previous package with a boost in power and a blacked out hood and roof treatment.
The standard 4,300 cc V8 engine has been touched up with a bi-compressor kit and a new exhaust system. These additions allow the Ferrari a boost from 510 HP to a galloping 777 HP. The exterior of the vehicle looks similar to their previous package with an extreme body kit featuring plenty of carbon fiber goodies, a new set of wheels, and the same blacked out components previously mentioned. The yellow exterior paint job found in the 747 package has been switched out for a luscious red more befitting of a Ferrari.
Full details will be revealed in the coming weeks.

The GED® diploma is the adult learner's alternative to a high school diploma. But many people don't understand the difficulty and value of the GED test, the testing requirements, or even the process of taking the GED test.
500,000 People Will Pass the GED This Year.
You're here because you want to be one of them. The one-of-a-kind best-selling GED Academy learning program can get you there, fast and easy.
The first GED tests were developed in 1942 to help military war veterans finish their basic education and high school study program. Today, passing the GED test is a worthwhile goal for the 40 million U.S. adults who never graduated from high school. A GED diploma enables adults to complete an educational milestone, to progress at work or in a career, and to qualify for advanced training and higher educational opportunities. People with a GED diploma make an average of $685,000 more in their lifetime than people who do not have a GED diploma or high school diploma.
What does the GED test involve?
The GED diploma is based on a set of five tests, a cumulative 7.5-hour exam that measures knowledge of math, science, social studies, reading and writing ability.
For the GED science, GED social studies and GED reading tests, the questions test your ability to make inferences, evaluations, and deductions from short passages of text or from pictures or charts. The multiple-choice GED mathematics test requires knowledge of basic number operations, basic algebra and geometry, and data analysis. Part of the GED mathematics test requires use of a calculator to perform number operations, and it's a good idea to take a GED math practice test.
The GED writing test has two parts. The first is a multiple-choice test about organization, grammar, spelling, usage, and mechanics. The second part of the GED writing test is a 45-minute essay, based on a prompt. The better your score on the essay, the fewer multiple choice questions you'll need to get right. Getting practice writing GED essays is a good idea.
The GED tests are given at Official GED Testing Center™ locations throughout the U.S. and Canada. Even though some companies claim to offer the GED test online, taking the GED Test online is not allowed. The GED test is not given online, only at official GED test locations. International testing is also available.
How does the test compare to high school?
The GED test has gleaned the most essential knowledge and skills acquired during a high school education. The emphasis in the GED tests is not on memorization, but on the application of practical knowledge and critical-thinking skills in the context of given information. If you can think through the question, you can answer it correctly. Luckily, thinking skills can be easy to learn.
What are passing GED testing scores?
The standard GED testing scores range from a minimum of 200 to a maximum of 800 on each test. Passing the GED test requires a score of at least 410 on each GED test, and an overall average score of 450 for the five-test battery. What does that mean? Well, the GED test isn't really scored by percentage or the number you get right. Your GED results are compared to the results of hundreds of high school seniors who took the GED test to standardize it. Passing GED testing scores mean you did better than 40% of graduating high school seniors. The number of questions you need to get right varies in different versions of the test, but if you're getting 60% to 70% correct on GED practice test questions, you're probably near a passing score.
How difficult is the GED test?
In terms of difficulty, consider that an average of only 60% of high school graduates can pass the test. For some people, GED testing can seem more difficult than high school because it's easier to just memorize information than to know how to use it. For people who haven't had much experience in making inferences, analyzing data, and making judgments, the GED test can seem very difficult.
A solid GED study program with an emphasis on the skills to think through a problem goes a long way toward reducing the difficulty level and increasing scores. Understanding the way the GED test questions are given also helps, so taking a pencil-and-paper or online GED practice test go a long way in preparedness.
How Can I Get My GED?
Taking GED online classes or a local GED course is a good way to outline a path of study. Some employers offer GED test prep programs or basic skills classes as part of a workforce development program. In addition, most communities offer a low-cost or even free GED class through a local high school, family resource center, community college, or university.
But for many adult learners, local classes aren't a viable option. Research shows that GED on-site classes often conflict with adult learners' schedules, job obligations, and family commitments, and that many students have little or no access to childcare and transportation. For these adult learners, GED classes online are often the best option. A GED guide or pencil-and-paper or online GED practice test is also helpful in preparing for the GED test at home.
Free online GED test resources and online GED programs enable an adult learner to create a self-guided study course. Self-guided study is affordable, provides flexible scheduling, and allows you to learn at your own pace, which is important since many adult learners report a history of negative classroom experiences.
Be careful when looking to get GED online free resources or online GED courses. Lots of companies have websites that sell a bogus high school or GED diploma online. When looking for GED classes online, it pays to shop, compare, and read the fine print.
What are the advantages of a GED diploma?
- People with a GED diploma make $480,000 more in their lifetime than people without a high school or GED diploma. That averages out to $12,000 a year more income for you. Not a bad raise! And if you go on to college, average income goes up a lot more!
- A GED diploma will help you get a better job. Employers would rather hire someone who has the basic skills to pass the GED test than someone who doesn't. Completing the GED diploma means that the graduate has the fortitude to successfully finish a difficult exam. The GED diploma is not a small thing! (But it doesn't have to be too hard.)
- You can get a GED diploma quickly and inexpensively. Most community colleges offer a low-cost or free GED class, and online GED programs can be very affordable.
- Passing the GED test will make you more valuable to your employer because you'll have gained basic writing and math skills in addition to demonstrating critical thinking skills that are essential in the workplace. You'll find it's easier to get a work promotion or advance through workplace job-training programs once you have your GED diploma.
- Working to get a GED diploma opens doors for advanced training. Most specialized training programs require either a high school diploma or a GED diploma. And with a GED diploma, you can look at higher education opportunities like college or vocational school.
- You'll feel better about yourself with a GED diploma because you've accomplished something that only 60% of high school graduates can do.
Finally, consider the impact of your educational achievement on
your family. That alone goes a long way; it's priceless.
GED diploma or high school? Really there's only one choice for most people. Passing the GED Test is the quickest, easiest and simplest way to improve the opportunities in your life.

Master Ninja Reports PSP-3000 Price Drop
Posted on Thursday, February 24 @ 18:32:50 Eastern by Daniel BischoffNinjas aren't known for delivering good news. Pizza? No, not that either. Most of the time, ninjas deliver deathblows. The kind that kill you instantly. "Hum, dee dum dum.... Herk---"
That's the sound of you dying without knowing it. Actually, even that portrayal wasn't accurate. Ninjas maintain silence, even in their victims. Today marks a special occasion. a Master Ninja has actually delivered good news! And not just any ol' humdrum good news, he brings price-drop news!
So the PSPgo is in need of a ninja assassin? Could this PSP price drop possibly get highlighted during GDC?
It's taken seven years for the PSP to get to a point where I felt like there were enough games I really wanted to play. Now that Tactics Ogre is here, is it time to buy a PSP?
How is the actual PSP-3000 itself and what are some games I should get that haven't been made in the past year?
Also, pirates suck.

UA Police are searching for two men they suspect are involved in a strong-armed robbery today in the Park Avenue parking garage.
One of the suspects is described as an Asian man, mid- to late 20s, with short hair and wearing an unknown colored baseball hat, sunglasses, a white T-shirt, and shorts.
The other suspect is described as a white man, mid- to late 20s, 5'10", with short blond hair, wearing a white T-shirt and shorts.
According to the UA Police Department, a male UA student was walking in the 1100 block of East Helen Street when he exchanged words with two men in a white van. The victim walked into the garage and was later approached by one of the men, who demanded he surrender his property.

Some years ago, I worked for a small tech company that supported various clients in North America. I was assigned to provide on-site client support at a midsize warehousing operation.
One day, I got a call from the foreman that a line printer located in the warehouse had inexplicably gone out of whack. It was skipping lines and printing lines on top of other lines, to the point that the document wasn't legible.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Read memorable Off the Record stories from 2009 in "Tall tales of tech -- that happen to be true." | Send your IT Off the Record story to firstname.lastname@example.com -- if we publish it, we'll send you a $50 American Express gift cheque. ]
I went to the warehouse to investigate, but couldn't find anything wrong. Later that day I got another call: same problem. Again, I couldn't find anything wrong. I was certain that it was related to hardware, because as a programmer I was intimate with the software driving the print process and saw no way that could be the issue.
After a couple of days of the printer going out of whack, the warehouse foreman and I had a plan to catch the print problem "in the act." I told the foreman to watch the printer and let me know if he ever saw anything unusual, and to call me at my desk when the printer started acting up. When he'd call, I'd run out of my office and 100 yards across the lot to the warehouse, sprint up a couple of flights of stairs, and dash over to where the printer was located.
However, every time I got to the printer, it would be printing normally again. This went on for months, happening once or twice a day.
One day I happened to be standing near the printer for another issue. I noticed a warehouse worker walk up to it when a print job was in progress, look at it, shake his head, repeatedly press the Line Feed button, then walk away. I went closer to the printer and watched. About 15 seconds later, it started going crazy again.
I asked the warehouse foreman to page the worker, "James," who had just left. When James came in I asked him what he was doing at the printer. He said, "Oh, I'm speeding it up. Pushing that button makes it print faster."

Mother hits 0.6.1 Milestone -Win/OSX
Mother Reaches 0.6
It's sure is a sign of an active project where it keeps leaping between each release so quickly, it can be difficult to keep up with it all. As project matures, additional resources and tutorials become available and personally I'll try to keep readers updated on anything that I cross by.
Massive thanks go as always to Ilias Bergstorm (Lead Developer) and ongoing support involvement from Krzysztof Golinski on the project, developing of Mother has now sped up a bit, hence the increased release frequency!
New Features : Mother 0.6:
- Small mistakes fixed from previous 0.5 release: Waltz synth example was not working, and I failed to mention in the documentation that you also need the Shapetween library to develop new synths. Note: Shapetween is a library for Processing that provides an easy way of animating elements within a sketch in a variety of ways.
- More comprehensive secondary screen support introduced.
- pre(), draw(), post() and dispose() methods are now called properly in synth libraries.
- It is no longer necessary to put an Init() method in sketches intended as Synths for Mother (Finally!).
As always, you can download the latest version from the Google code repository!
Version 6.0.1 has been added with minor tweaks!

Chen Qiulin, still from The Garden, 2007, video (14 minutes, 45 seconds) - both images in this post are from the Meulensteen Gallery (formerly Max Protetch). The Garden is part of a series of haunting experimental shorts commemorating the artist's Yangtze River hometown, Wanxian, which has been partially submerged for the Three Gorges Dam project. The video is a "critical eulogy" that
follows two workers on a pedestrian journey through a busy city, winding their way through abandoned alleys and under the eaves of a towering skyscraper in consecutive scenes. They carry bundles of vivid magenta peonies in their arms as if they bear the only remaining rays of hope in the dismal city, but the peonies are artificial. (source)
The Hammer Museum in Los Angeles has a good introduction to Chen's work. And here are more stills from The Garden courtesy of the Whitworth Art Gallery at the Manchester University.

My wife and I shared the stuffed Medjool dates-excellent flavor and a great way to start the evening. My Wife had the gnocchi with the duck sausage and and shrimp-very well prepared- and I enjoyed the Cassoulet which was loaded with flavor. The service was quick and friendly. A very enjoyable evening.Special Features:

- Great place for special occasion!out2lunchDined on 8/24/2014We lucked out and happened to visit the last day of Restaurant Week. The four course selections were delicious - beautifully presented and tasting exquisite. At first, the portions appeared more attractive than substantial (I was hungry!) but by the end I could not have eaten another bite. I'm glad we dined here after our special event. They graciously accommodated a last minute change in our reservations. The waitstaff were top notch! Next time we're in Grand Rapids, we'll be sure to visit again! Fyi: plan on $30-40/person for dinner & salad; drinks and appetizers additional. So delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- just OKskibumDined on 8/22/2014Within walking distance from the major downtown hotels but you go through some sketchy areas. Food was OK but seems overpriced. We ordered a drink from the bar that was devoid of any alcohol. Appetizers and entre gave us the distinct impression of being prepared way earlier and then heated up. Not really bad but for the price tag not particularly good either. Service was good however. Probably wouldn't go again.
- Restaurant week visitReturnvisit14Dined on 8/22/2014We selected two restaurants to visit for Restaurant Week. On Tuesday, we visited The Grove with friends. On Friday, we visited Bistro, a favorite, with visiting relatives. The food at Bistro was very good, but not as creative as The Grove. We felt more rushed at Bistro. Our next course came so fast, we barely finished the previous course. A busboy seemed hovering to take each plate as soon as the final bite was removed, often waiting right over our shoulders and watching. One appealing thing about have a meal with others is the time to chat while eating. We didn't feel that relaxation. The waiter was friendly, helpful, and prompt. The kitchen must have been pushing him. He did reach over others to serve, which is not acceptable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just perfect!LolabelleDined on 8/20/2014Bistro Bella Vita served up the perfect dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were top notch. We took advantage of the restaurant week menu. Just delicious! Bistro offered four unique courses. There was 4 of us so we ordered one of each and shared the first and second courses. Heather was our server. She did an excellent job!!! Being a former server myself I tend to be a little critical. Heather was friendly, knew just how to time the courses, and went the extra mile to make sure of the ingredients for one of us who has a food allergy. All in all a most memorable, delicious, enjoyable evening that my guests and I won't forget. I would highly recommend Bistro Bella Vita.Special Features:

- Fairly new place..great experiencenewtoGR2014Dined on 8/16/2014We arrived with no reservations and waiting about 15 minutes before a staf memeber was kind enough to let us know that two chairs were soon going to be available, which was very nice. We dined at the bar and we had a great experience from the bar staff to the tasty entree. We will definitely return. Very impressed with the service for only being open for 2 months. Keep up the good work!!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service was Amazingmj17Dined on 8/16/2014Our server was very outgoing and down-to-earth. He was also very helpful with the menu. Out of a four course meal, I only enjoyed 2 dishes. The main entrée of lobster ravioli and the dessert lemon custard was great. I wouldn't recommend the Traffic Jam Asiago or the Crudo of fish.Special Features:
- PositivelyPerfect!GratefulDined on 8/15/2014This is the 1st time we used OpenTable. Easy. Accurate. Confident! When we walked into BistroBellaVita, the hostesses knew precisely of our reservation! I was impressed. This dining experience was to celebrate my husband's 5year cancer free!!! The young hostess (Jessica) walked us to our table and said, "First of all, I'd like to congratulate you two!!! Cancer-free...that is amazing!!! I made sure you have fresh flowers at your table...and your server, Conner is the best...you will really enjoy him!" Who does that? She (Jessica) is beyond AMAZING!!! We had some excellent conversation with her! She is to be praised by management. Conner was extraordinary! The food, ambiance, drinks & staff are TOP SHELF!!!Special Features:

- Anniversary at the BistroGRfoodiesDined on 8/7/2014We had excellent service and food. When our server learned that we were celebrating our 46th anniversary, she brought us a tiramisu to share, on the house! We would definitely recommend this restaurant. The only thing that could be improved on is the parking situation.Special Features:
- IheartGRDined on 8/1/2014For me, it didn't live up to the hype. Our appetizer tasted really good, but wasn't hot and fresh when it got to our table. I got the filet mignon, and was not all that great for 35 bucks. Very tender but not as flavorful as it should be. Just not worth the price. My date got a saffron rice and seafood dish and said the rice simply sucked, which was most of the volume of the dish. All in all I give the food 3/5, but on the other hand the restaurant was extremely loud as we were seated right next to the bar. Our server was awkward to us at first but then warmed up to us, not quite sure why. The bill came out to be $100 after tip and I was pretty unhappy to be paying that for an overall unsatisfactory experience. Maybe they had an off day.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Bistro Bella Vita A Dining DelightMackAttackDined on 7/25/2014My experience at Bistro Bella Vita was exceptional. The food was fabulous and Tristan, our waitor, really made great food recommendations. Our two appetizers from the daily special menu were phenomenal and should be added to the regular menu. We enjoyed "Roasted Urban Mushroom with five onion marmelade and Goat Cheese Fondue" and "Hangar Steak over a Bread Pudding with figs and goat cheese drizzle". Both were delectable. Dinners were also good but two daily fish specials were sold out by 6 pm which seemed they may have underestimated the number of diners desiring fish entrees. Overall, our experience was excellent and we will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Coupons Available
Walgreens may have filled 821 million prescriptions last year but that doesn't mean that Walgreens coupons are only good at the store's pharmacy. Since opening in 1901, Walgreens has expanded its inventory to include bath and beauty products, groceries, personal-care items, seasonal decor, and household essentials such as toilet paper and trash bags. If you're running low on any of those items, don't lock yourself into your home's panic room and turn on the television. Instead, just scroll down to the selection of Groupon Freebies, find a Walgreens coupon, and enter the Walgreens coupon code to save money on your next purchase.
Charles R. Walgreen was a Chicago pharmacist with a dream. In 1901, he went from drugstore employee to employer when he bought the place and become his own boss. But, he wasn't content with just one location. Expansion and a mission to revolutionize the pharmacy were on his mind. Within 25 years, there were 100 store locations in Chicago. Fast-forward to today, and Walgreens now employs 240,000 people and tallies 8,678 stores in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Guam. And just as successful on the expansion front, Walgreens has continued to develop the neighborhood pharmacy with its ever-evolving website. There, instead of going to the store, customers can manage and refill prescriptions online—a development that has helped Walgreens earn the 36th ranking on the Internet Retailer 500.
Similar to its founder, Walgreens refuses to stand pat. On the contrary, the company is constantly looking forward and trying to improve itself. For example, it has pushed to become as synonymous with diversity as it is with convenience, and the efforts are showing. In 2013, Walgreens was named one of DiversityBusiness.com's Top 50 Organizations for Multicultural Business Opportunities as well as one of "Careers & the Disabled" magazine's Top 50 Employers.

BUCHANAN (WKZO) -- In a "no audience participation" style debate, candidate Mike O'Brien provoked hearty applause from the crowd after responding to a question on energy policy in the final 6th District Congressional Debate.
The question asked by The League of Women Voters moderator Susan Smith was, "What direction do you think America's energy plan should take?" O'Brien answered first saying he believes, "in a true all of the above energy policy". He went on to point out Congressman Upton's shortcomings in what he calls "small ideas" for solving the energy crisis. Upton rebutted by saying that he too supports an "all of the above" energy policy and emphasized the importance of expanding drilling for oil on American soil. Upton stated that under the Obama administration drilling on public lands has declined. Upton went on to say that no candidate supporting an "all of the above" energy policy can be against drilling on public land or against fracking which, one study has shown, would support 1.7 million jobs.
The rebuttal by candidate O'Brien following Upton's statements set the democratic leaning crowd into an ovation that lead to a warning from the moderator. O'Brien pointed out the high-risk environmental factors involved in fracking asserting to Upton that he could not talk about fracking as an energy solution until the chemicals used in the process are explained and the Halliburton "loophole" is closed. Watch above for the video.
The debate was hosted at the D.C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant in Buchanan, MI and lasted for an hour Tuesday night bringing in a capacity crowd.

- Charming Cuisine in ShepherdstownTownieDined on 9/26/2014Wonderful fall luncheon at Bistro 112. Our fabulous waiter, Aaron, provided great service and recommended the special...a delicious salad with scallops that looked almost too good to eat. Comfortable atmosphere with nice view of the town and well chosen original art. Make a reservation to ensure a table at the window for the view, ask for Aaron, and let him orchestrate a delightful lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply Magnifique!MagnifiqueDined on 9/22/2014This is a lovely authentic French Bistro in historic Sheperdstown, WV. Terrific service, quiet and on the ground floor of a converted old home. Served warm, fresh bread. Fabulous menu including a delicious lentil soup and to-die-for Wild Salmon. Extensive wine list from France, California and many other regions. Very attentive waiter who was not intrusive. We simply loved this hidden, romantic gem and will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- very pleasant eveningneighborVIPDined on 9/6/2014I really like this restaurant. Lovely old house, and we were upstairs so it was very quiet. Food wasn't quite as good as out first visit--the salmon was good, but the bed of basmati rice didn't have much flavor, and the beans which were just laid across the rice didn't either. I really liked the salad and the ratatouille. The waiter was attentive without being intrusive. Would come back next time I'm in the area.Special Features:
- Bistro 1124pawzDined on 9/6/2014Always great food and atmosphere. Thank you to the staff for helping us out when we arrived. It was a total downpour and we got soaked. They were so kind to bring us towels to dry off.Special Features:

- Great Saturday night w/FriendsMcFoodiesDined on 8/16/2014We enjoyed our dinner a couple of weeks ago and decided to introduce friends to our little find. Enjoyed a nice stroll throughout Shepherdstown and settled in at Bistro 112 for a relaxing dinner. The food was well prepared and enjoyable, menu brief but well done. The ambiance is fun and relaxing and not pretentious which allowed for a more intimate feel. I would make reservations and prefer the first floor by the bar, it feels more engaging. Wonderful cocktails!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DeliciousTheatreDinersDined on 8/2/2014We had a nice late dinner with the nice cheese charcuterie and the steak entree. Definitely a nice find and we will visit again next year!Special Features:

- French in ShepherdstownPlanetmikeDined on 7/26/2014Most delightful after a day of hiking through the woods. In general, I would recommend staying in Shepherdstown, if you are trying to enjoy the outdoors around Harpers Ferry. The choices for restaurants and lodgings are better. The owner of Bistro 112 accommodated us with outdoor seating under a trellis covered with wisteria and candle light. Our server Aaron was very attentive and experienced. Good choices of wine and food for all.Special Features:
- Fantastic experienceSoccermarkDined on 7/19/2014Came to Shepherdstown for an overnight stay, and discovered this gem of a restaurant. Superb food, outstanding service, and very nice ambiance of a historic house in the center of old-town. Staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful, and owner Deb Tucker dropped by several times at our table to make sure everything was fine--and at the end even offered to take us back to our hotel which was a mile out of town. When in Shepherdstown you must dine at Bistro 112!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Limited menu, but great chefDiningmavenVIPDined on 7/19/2014This is a small, unpretentious place with a casual ambiance, but the kitchen is outstanding. Everything we were served, from soup and pate, to fish and duck, to dessert, had wonderful flavors and was perfectly prepared.
- New find!MangerDined on 7/17/2014Terrific pre -theatre dinning. The house salad is amazing. Service was timely, helpful, gracious. Date dessert was melt in your mouth. Will go again for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice brunch experienceBillVIPDined on 7/13/2014We were in town for the contemporary theater festival and met friends there. The menu went beyond the usual brunch fare, the waiter was great and helpful with the wine list and the overall experience was very positive. No booze before 1 p.m. on Sunday in West Virginia, in case you were wondering, so wine became our dessert.Special Features:
- Good food, good peopleTravelineaterDined on 7/12/2014We look forward to eating here when we are attending the Contemporary Theatre Festival. Had a great meal-as usual. This time I had the grilled Caesar salad and the blackened salmon - highly recommend both.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not preparedOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/11/2014They were not prepared for the pre-theatre crowd. Delayed one of our meals with no offer of compensation. They also did not specify the price of a special which was considerably more than the same basic meal on their pre-fixe menu. Our server was good, but had too many tables to serve and bus. Food was okay, but overpriced given the area.
- It all dependsBillDined on 7/11/2014We've eaten here in the past several times, and found it excellent. But depending on the night, the crowds, and the chef, any restaurant can have an off night. This time, somebody slipped with the salt.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- dedicated to local foodInnovativeDined on 7/11/2014Best descriptor is that it has potential. The salads were very good and the dressings excellent. The price fixed dinners were great value and the menu provided adequate choice. The owner is a real plus, warm, friendly and there when you want her, but not intrusive. The negatives-Service, very slow, uneven, and not responsive-although I gave it 2 stars, 1 would have been closer to reality. The wine glasses ,definitely not wine glasses to match french bistro food,- short and stubby or tumblers, although the selection of wine was a pleasant surprise with some labels rarely found in restaurants. One dish, the scallops and risotto was a highlight, the other main courses needed help. Would give them a second try.I would recommend this to a friend.
- LovelyWeluveliDined on 7/10/2014The Bistro 112 is a wonderful place for lunch or dinner. The service was good, as was the food. We'll definitely be back!Special Features:
- a lovely french restaurantFoodFanDined on 7/5/2014This is our second time there. We ate upstairs and had this wonderfully appointed room all to ourselves for most of our dinner. The food was very French and very good. Service was impeccable.Special Features:
- OkayDined on 7/2/2014Salmon was overcooked, and potatos were undercooked. Would not recommend the pasta.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will returnCherDined on 6/28/2014Our server was knowledgeable and energetic. We appreciated the variety of types and prices of wine. We got the fixed price steak. Although the beef was a little chewy, it was nicely cooked with a delicious sauce. I would have liked some choice about the sides ( only potatoes were offered) and about the dessert. The owner stopped by and offered my husband an after-dinner drink to celebrate his birthday. Overall, an enjoyable experience. I would definitely go back.Special Features:
- Very niceDahktahDined on 6/28/2014Food was very good. I would call it "Frenchy" rather than French. For a small town in the mountains, it was excellent. We'd certainly go back and recommend it.Special Features:
- 2nd best tops the restOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/24/2014We had a new business client in from Europe so we were looking for the perfect restaurant for dinner. Our 1st choice happened to be closed on Tuesdays so we opted for Bistro112. We now have a new 1st choice! Bistro112's 19th century charm accentuated by terrific food, made for a memorable evening. We had 5 guests and 4 different entrees (2 salmon orders) and everyone had a great meal. It is a nice relaxing, intimate setting at a very reasonable price.Special Features:
- Fabulous Shepherdstown Restaurant!4PagesDined on 6/21/2014Friends visiting from DC suggested we try Bistro 112 for dinner. Best decision of the weekend! We live in Shepherdstown but had only been to Bistro 112 for lunch (which is also really good). Our expectations were greatly surpassed by the absolute yumminess of the food. The four of us had the soup special - potato carrot puree - savory deliciousness! We each ordered a different entree - pasta bolognaise, the chicken, duck and salmon. Each dish was perfection. We moved to Shepherdstown from DC and this restaurant rivals any of the best there. It was also very clean, our server Aaron could not have been better (he really added to the ambiance) and, to top it off, they were very nice and accommodating to our sleeping kids. Try it!Special Features:
- amazingOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/21/2014Imaginative menu and beautifully executed. Lovely presentations. Maybe the best food at a small-town restaurant ever.Special Features:
- Great Steak!4pawzDined on 6/20/2014The best steak around. There aren't too many restaurants in the area to have a nice, quiet dinner - Bistro definitely fits the bill to be able to enjoy great food and great company.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Surprising GemGafsterDined on 6/7/2014We stopped in Shepherdstown, WV on a bike trip, and found Bistro 112 via Yelp. The restaurant, in an old house, was made up of several rooms on two floors, with consignment art on the walls. The menu was small, but each item was uniquely prepared. We had a great meal, and free wine via a coupon on Yelp. A great find in a small town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 59 reviews are from the Bistro 112 reviews archive.
- Charming BistroAllisonDined on 5/30/2014The first thing that strikes one as you enter this restaurant is the warm welcome. Everyone could not have been more accommodating, from adjusting the air-conditioning, to making certain everything was ordered perfectly. The Mussels and Pomme Frites transport you to a Paris Bistro. Perfect. There is also a Bistro Meal which is Prix Fixe and provides three courses, including L'Entrecote Au Poivre. We had the special Salmon which was delicious. Our waiter was the nicest person, besides being quite competent. We ate upstairs, which is lovely, quiet and more intimate. The kitchen was very slow, however, and that might not work for everyone. Oh, do have the wine flight! Bistro 112 is a lovely dining experience in charming Shepherdstown.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Les moulesflowersmDined on 5/27/2014The Les moules (mussels in cream sauce) were simply amazing. Great quiet restaurant for a special meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- What a pleasant surprise...CandJreviewDined on 5/3/2014We found this restaurant while visiting the area for the weekend. We read many positive reviews and decided to give it a try. What a nice surprise! We were seated at a table by the front window. Our meals were excellent and the portions were plentiful. The French cuisine was comparable to many other restaurants we have experienced in the DC metro area. We also felt that the meals were very reasonably priced. The chocolate mousse was outstanding and a perfect ending to our meal. We will definitely be back!Special Features:
- LovelyOpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 5/3/2014As always the service was great. The sweet potatoes were delicious. The roasted potatoes were not quite done. I just love this restaurant though!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Somewhat disappointedChipSDined on 4/26/2014The food was excellent, once it arrived. The proprietor seemed more interested in conversing with the restaurant patrons rather than making sure new arrivals were attended to. We waited for a very long time for initial greetings by our server, then after a table seated several minutes after us received their bread and salad, we had to ask if we could order our first drink (as well as salad and dinner)...all the while the proprietor was chit chatting with other guests. The decor is a mish-mash of anything that seemed french. Not a cohesive design theme at all. An updated design theme might also take into account the need to deaden the reflected sounds off the hard walls and floor.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I have long hair that has a natural wave and frizzes at the ends. I don't suffer from split ends but the frizziness is quite severe! I am obsessed with trying to control my frizz and am always on the lookout for the next best buy!! I have been reading great reviews about Moroccanoil on the blogosphere but have been quite nervous about using this treatment in case it caused greasiness. After a visit to the hairdresser they recommended how to use it to get the best results and I love it!
My hairdresser offered a 10% discount so I got the 25 ml for £12. I only bought this because it was a spur of the moment buy based on a recommendation. I have been thinking about buying this for a while but it is very expensive. I know that you can buy it at some online retailers for cheaper than full price but to be honest, it is still over what I would pay on my hair.
I can justify the cost however because I don't use it daily. I use it after I've washed my hair which is only twice a week.
Morrocanoil is a very thick oil, it does make your hands feel quite greasy when you rub them together however it doesn't make your hair feel greasy at all. I use this after washing my hair. I only apply about a 5p sized amount in my hair from the mid length down and NOT ANYWHERE NEAR MY ROOTS! It helps to make your hair feel really conditioned and soft at the ends. You can either use this on wet or dry hair as a serum to control flyaways. It has a really nice smell to the product. It does make your hair smell nice but the smell isn't long lasting nor is it very strong. I do find however that I sniff my hands after applying for a while because they still smell so nice!!
I'm glad of my impulse buy. I have been meaning to buy this for a while but never taken the plunge. Since using it, I've received a lot of compliments on the way my hair looks these days after applying. It feels more controllable and manageable. I'm still using my first bottle! I will definitely be repurchasing these product, however I will try and find a more cost effective site to buy it from !!
I've been using Moroccanoil for about 2 years now, and I can't imagine being without it. The idea of putting oil on my hair at first seemed a little strange, and I was convinced that it would make my hair greasy. Far from it.
Firstly, you only need small amount, I use about a 5p piece size in the palm of my hand for my mid-length fine hair. With towel-dried hair I start with the ends and then do the roots with the small amount left on my palms. Then I brush it through. It has a lovely smell, and is absorbed straight into the hair.
When you dry your hair it feels soft, healthy and shiny. My hair is highlighted and can be a little dry as I tend to use heat appliances on it most days. Moroccanoil really helps to keep it healthy and stop if from drying out, and seems to help with split ends too. It also smooths it down as I can get a little frizzy - Moroccanoil also really helps with this!
It does seem expensive, however I would say that one bottle lasts absolutely ages. Probably a good 9 months, if not more, and I wash my hair every single day. So even though it might seem a lot at first a little goes a very long way.
Everyone has been raving about Moroccan oil recently and they have a right to, it certainly has lived up to the hype.
General information
This product claims to restore hair damaged by heat and environment, it claims to leave hair feeling silky, shiny and without any residue
My personal opinion and experience
My hair is quite frizzy and damaged and I have been searching for ages to find a product that will solve all my problems, from hair mousses to serums I think I have finally found the perfect product. I use Moroccan oil after I blow dry my hair or when it is wet before I let it air dry, it leaves my hair feeling soft and nourished which is something that no other product has done for me. Another great factor about this product is that you only need to use a pea sized amount, maybe even smaller depending on your hair type by only using a little bit means that it lasts for ages; I bought a bottle of this oil January last year and there is still half left even after a whole year.
There are many other companies who sell Moroccan oil, however this has got to be my favourite. Be careful where you buy moroccan oil from as they could be unnatural. Generally it should come in a copper coloured bottle so it will not get ruined by sunlight.
Overall If you have frizzy unruly and damaged hair then I definitely recommend Moroccan oil!
I use a lot of heat styling devices and so by doing this, my hair does start to suffer. I blow dry my hair and I straighten it but nowhere near as regularly as I used to and I also have it coloured. It started to take its toll on my hair and I did notice it starting to look dry and also that I was getting a lot more split ends which I wasn't happy about. I had heard people mentioning Moroccanoil but it is quite pricey and I thought, what if it doesn't even do anything? I had heard some comments like this but then my new hairdresser used it on my hair and raved about it and said if I started to use it that it would do my hair a lot of good.
After this recommendation, I decided my best bet would be to get the smaller bottle and see how it went at first and then if it was good, I'd buy a larger bottle. Moroccanoil comes in a 25ml or 100ml bottle and also they do a light or normal treatment but I just stuck with the normal. It comes in a small turquoise box with the orange Moroccanoil logo on it and it is in a brown glass bottle which is distinctly shapes. On the box it gives you directions of use, and an ingredients list and the bottle has a small black screw top lid which keeps it securely shut and you can also see through the glass, how much is left.
When I first got this product, I have to be honest I was a bit apprehensive, I read up on how to use it but my hairdresser told me a small bottle would last me a good while as you hardly need to use any. So, to start with you can either use this on damp hair before blow drying or on dry hair before styling, it really is up to you but I feel when damp gives best results as then the hairdryer blasts it to work through hair. The best thing about Moroccanoil is the smell, it smells so sweet and perfumed, it is lovely and wasn't at all like what I thought it would smell like, so it is lovely to put on hair.
After I wash my hair, I normally towel dry it and leave it for a little bit and then I get my bottle of Moroccanoil and just tip out the smallest amount, I have hair past my shoulders, so it is quite long and I only use about a 1p piece worth as I rub it in the palms of my hand and then smooth and work it through my damp hair. You don't want to use too much or it will leave your hair greasy and oily, even when there is residue in the palm of my hand I just keep rubbing it through hair and it soon goes. You can't see it on hair at all and then once blow drying it, I always feel my hair looks shiny.
It took me a month or so of using it before I really started to feel the results were good. My hair started to look much healthier and felt softer and the real moment of truth was when I last went to the hairdresser as she said my hair was looking so much better than it used to and she asked what I'd been using. When I told her I'd been using Moroccanoil she was very impressed and said it had done my hair wonders and it was no longer looking dry. I was also visiting relatives at the weekend who I hadn't seen in a while and they commented on the condition of my hair, how good it was looking so the results have definitely been noticed.
It is pricey I suppose for the size of bottle but I have had this for about 4 months and am not even half way through the bottle yet and that is a 25ml one. Now that I know I am happy with the results, I will buy a larger bottle next time but it is so easy to use and you shouldn't expect instant results as your hair needs to get used to this and absorb the oil. I never find my hair to be greasy at all from using this, it is for all hair types and especially if you heat style a lot like me then you should be using this. There are cheaper alternatives to Moroccanoil but I like to stick with the best as I feel you get the best results this way.
There are some warnings on the back of the box such as avoid contact with eyes and that it is for external use only. I really like using this oil and wouldn't live without it, the dry parts of my hair have now all gone and have finally grown out which is a nice feeling. I am happy that my hair is finally getting the care it needs and conditioning it and using this oil just take minutes to do but keep it shiny. If you are unsure about wanting to spend a lot on this then you could ask your hairdresser to try it on your hair first or, like me, you could just get the 25ml bottle to start with and see if it works for you.
You can buy this in most salons but you may pay more for it, I get mine from Look Fantastic.com where they do free delivery, it is well packaged and they sometimes do discount codes so it works well for me. They charge £31.85 for a 100ml bottle and for the 25ml it is £13.45.
The official Moroccanoil website is http://www.moroccanoil.com/.
After hearing about Moroccan oil from a number of youtube beauty gurus I was led to believe it was it was a miracle product that would leave my hair unbelievable smooth and sleek, not to mention shiny and healthy looking. I am unbelievably underwhelmed by this product.
*Price and availability*
It is very expensive. Very very expensive! I asked for a bottle for Christmas in 2011 and it cost Santa £25 for a 25ml bottle. To help you picture how teeny tiny this bottle is, it's around 3 inches tall. It is available from a number of online websites such as ebay, amazon, feelunique.
It comes in a amber glass bottle with a screw cap. The cap design makes it awkward to pour the oil out as you can't control how much comes out. It has the typical Moroccan oil colours on the bottle stickers which are turquoise and orange. The oil is thick and gloopy in consistency as you would expect oil to be!
*To use*
You distribute a small amount through the lengths of your hair after you have washed it and it is towel dried. It is best to avoid the roots as I've found it makes hair a little flat and greasy looking. I tend to use a little blob of oil around the size of a pound coin. It absorbs quickly and my hair doesn't feel greasy if I run my fingers through it whilst it is drying.
*My experience*
I can't say that I have noticed a positive difference in the feel of my hair when using this oil. My hair is normally wavy and a bit frizzy at the ends. This doesn't smooth it at all and the only time I can tell I have it in my hair is after I've straightened it and it feels a bit slicker than usual. I wouldn't say it feels any smoother or looks any smoother as it has a bit of a greasey feel to it after a few hours. I have tried applying smaller amounts or using it after I've dried my hair instead but this doesn't make a difference. I am so frustrated that someone spent £25 on this when it doesn't live up to my expectations. Judging by other reviews there are lots of people who are more than happy with it and its results so if anyone can enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong I would much appreciate it!
I'll update this review if my opinion changes in the future.
I was first introduced to Moroccanoil by my hairdresser who spoke volumes for the benefits that this would have on my hair. Sold by her enthusiasm for it alone, I agreed to have her use the products on my hair. I had never even heard of it before but, given that I was visiting a well respected salon, I was sure that it was a premium product. My research since then (and the price tags that the products command) have confirmed this to be the case.
Morrocanoil say that 'our antioxidant infused, nutrient rich, innovative formulas are unmatched and provide dramatic results'. They describe the products as 'salon exclusive' but they can be purchased online at places such as amazon and hair care websites. The price is high, for example a bottle of 100ml of the treatment oil currently sells at around £30 on Amazon!
On my hair, my hairdresser used the conditioner from the range during washing and the oil on my damp hair. The oil is used as a treatment as it replenishes lost proteins to add strength, fatty acids, omega 3 oils & vitamins for shine and antioxidants for protection. The oil is a light brown in colour and, obviously, has a greasy feel to it. Where I found that this differs to other oil products that I have used on my hair is that, once I have applied to my hair, there is not greasy residue left on my hands - this oil is absorbed instantly by the hair and works to fill gaps in the hair to protect from heat, styling and environmental damage. The oil is pleasant smelling and leaves my hair feeling and smelling fresh. After use, my hair felt instantly in better condition - the ends were less dry and my hair was less frizzy all over. It definitely tamed and conditioned my hair superbly. I purchased a small, trial size bottle, of the product as that is all that my purse strings could stretch to. This lasted me several weeks so worked out pretty good value. I found it easy to use and it did have a dramatic impact on my hair. It looked and felt in much better condition.
Overall, there is no doubt that this product worked wonders for my hair. It is by far the best product I have ever used on my hair and one of the few that I have found to live up to the claims it makes. However, I do not feel that I can justifty paying the sort of money that the products cost. £30 can go a long way in my house and to spend it on a small bottle of oil seems very extravagant to me. Therefore, I have to make do with the odd salon visit to get the benefits these days. If you spend that sort of money on hair products though, this comes highly recommended! 4 stars, simply because of the price.
I had been wanting to try this hair oil for literally ages! I already have numerous other hair oils though, so I couldn't really justify buying another one, especially such an expensive one.
Luckily I got it as a Christmas present & I have to say, I am very impressed and it is one of my favourites! I am trying not to use it too much though because I don't want it running out any time soon as I don't think I will be re purchasing it due to the price, I just can't bring myself to spend over £30 for a hair oil!
This price is for a 100ml bottle, and a smaller 25ml bottle is £12, which is still really expensive in my opinion! A 200ml bottle can also be found in some shops and on various websites, but this retails at a mind boggling £50!!
Ok, so £50 might not seem like much to some people - in fact im sure all the WAG's and millionaires will think this is a bargain. As a young mum trying to save money where possible though I honestly can not even consider spending that much money. So, like I said I'm glad mine was a present!
So, what is so special about morrocan oil? Well, it gives hair a gorgeous shine and keeps it well soft, silky & well conditioned. It can help nourish damaged hair and repair hair that has been heat and colour damaged when it is used often. It sinks into the hair and doesn't leak any greasy residue, which I like as coconut oil needs washing out after I've used it because its so greasy, but this doesn't need washing out!
Morrocan oil can also be used to provide intense moisture on dry skin, and can help with skin conditions such as eczema but given the price I just use mine on my hair. I always use mine after I've washed and towel dried my hair before blow drying it. Personally, I usually only use it on the ends of my hair as my scalp tends to get greasy and i don't want the oil to make it even greasier, however after I've used it on the ends of my hair there is usually a really tiny layer left on my hands so I will work this into my roots and it hasn't made my scalp greasy at all but this is because I'm so careful with the amount I use.
A really small amount of the oil is needed and it is obviously important you don't use too much else it will make your hair look and feel really greasy. I know I said it is non greasy (it is if you use a tiny amount) but like any oil if it is poured onto your hair it'll look horrific. The oil leaves my hair feeling really soft, silky smooth and some how it makes my hair straighter, even when I haven't straightened it. I have no idea how but it does! It makes it feel lighter and more manageable too, so it's an all round good product. I also love that it keeps my hair looking more controlled, and my hair doesn't get half as frizzy as it did before I started using this oil!
I do like this oil and it is certainly very effective and it does what the people who make and sell it claim it does, however cheaper hair oils like Argan and coconut oil honestly have pretty much the same effect, this one is just less greasy. I would have given it five out of five stars had it been a little more realistically and sensibly priced, but due to the price I have knocked a star off.
I have used this product for the last year or so and found it does exactly what it says on the label despite being a bit pricey. My hair dresser recommended it to me initially because I used to dye my hair quite a bit and even after I stopped it was still a bit damaged. The product itself works great, even using just a little once or twice a week instantly makes your hair look as if you've just walked out the hair dresser. I usually use it on pre-washed but still wet hair then blow dry my hair straight, which works well. Also, most deeply conditioning products can be quite heavy but this one really isn't, it doesn't leave your hair looking greasy or anything either.
The price from the hair dresser for a large size is around £30 , smaller is £17-18, which is quite a lot if you buy Moroccan oil shampoo and conditioner too, and so this is a drawback. I bought a larger bottle back in October and am still using it now (in December) with about a quarter of it left, so it does last a long time. Also, since (as far as I know) Moroccan oil hair products are only supplied to reputable hair salons (so not available in boots etc), it can be a bit inconvenient to go and buy if you run out in between haircuts. I've seen you can buy it online too, but I haven't looked around at prices although it's probably cheaper there.
Overall, it's a really good hair product for adding an instant shine and making your hair look 100% healthy. Completely worth the money and I think I'll continue using it for the foreseeable future.
Moroccanoil is the first product I have bought in the hairdresser's chair. Usually the high prices put me off, but this has already been recommended to me. My stylist used some before he blow dried my new haircut and I could see a difference straight away. My hair looked healthy, shiny and smooth.
The tiny bottle I purchased cost a whopping 12 pounds and I nearly broke out in a cold sweat, but I held my nerve and handed over the cash. This trial size is only25ml, not even an ounce, but I have to say it lasted ages. And I have since bought the full size bottle.
While your hair is still wet, you work a tiny amount, about the size of a 5p, into your hair. You have to keep working it for a few minutes to get it all through especially to the ends. It is actual oil, but some how its not oily when applied to your hair. And it smells clean and slightly flowery, and I find the smell lasts 2 days which is lovely. Your hair feels so soft to the touch too.
When you blow dry your hair, it is very silky and detangles very easily. Running the brush through is a dream. You can style it in the usual way. If you decide to straighten your hair, this is when the shines really comes through. My hair goes smooth and glossy with this product, but more so than other things I have used. This is the reason I am happy to pay the higher price for it. I also think my hair became more hydrated over time, the more I used the oil, the healthier it became.
Don't be tempted to apply a lot to your hair though. I put way too much on it one time, and it does make your hair greasy looking.
I really love this hair product and would recommend it to anyone.
I have tried many hair products as have hair that is wavy, the worst kind - frizzy and brittle, if I leave it to curl its a mass of frizz and if I straighten it I can't use anything too heavy on it. Moroccan Oil is the first thing I've found that actually makes it really soft and doesn't weigh it down at all. You can either use it on damp hair or on dry hair. When my hairdresser told me about it I didn't believe her, thought it can't be that good cause lots of products promise but don't deliver, but it flies off her shelves - they are sold out the day the stock arrives. I got a small trial size from ebay but it is gonna last forever - you only need a tiny bit (I have shoulder length hair). It makes straightening easier and stops the tiny flyaway bits on the top of your head without making it greasy like serum can do. I use it every other day as a leave in conditioner. It also brings out highlights and colouring in your hair and protects against heat damage from appliances.
This product has been in the market for a while but to be honest, I have not heard about it till my hairdresser recommend it.
To start, I'm going to explain a little on my hair condition. As I wanted a permanent straight hair, I went to the salon and do a Yuko permanent straightening. That way, I don't have to do much in the morning and my hair will still look good but there's a price to pay if you don't take care of your hair after the straightening. Permanent straightening use strong chemical to maintain that poker straight hair. After a few month, my hair is really dry and to make matter worse, I have actually dyed my hair as well. I have been really busy that I never really do hair mask and so forth. I have split ends and it has become quite frizzy. I will not do the hair straightening again but unfortunately, I have to dye my hair every now and then as I have some grey hair now.
I have tried many hair conditioning treatment. Some conditioner weight down the hair, does not smell good and you don't feel comfortable. It has become quite frustrating because I can't comb my hair smoothly as it has become quite dry.
My hairdresser actually give me a small bottle to try. I went on the internet to read about it too. Wow, there's a lot of good reviews. Although the reviews are all good, I will need to experience it to agree.
Please note that the name is actually the brand name but the oil is actually Argan oil however it was sourced from Morroco, hence the name. Now, Morrocan Oil, it's a miraculous potion to me. I will tell you why.
The oil was in a glass bottle. The oil itself is golden and the texture feels like serum rather than normal oil. I wash my hair as usual and after towel dried it, I rubbed a small amount from mid way to the end. I then blow dry my hair and to my delight, my hair is tamer and I can comb through it. Gone were the tangled dryness. The smell is good too, not too strong or overpowering. Some conditioner smell make me gag.
On days, I don't use conditioner, it still maintain that nice tame hair for me. It doesn't weight down your hair and gives the smooth, healthy and shiny look. Another good point is that, you don't need a lot each time so a bottle will last you a long time.
This is quite a pricey product but it's worth it. It fits me really well as I don't have the luxury of time to really doing hair mask. Additionally, if you are on the go a lot, you just want a simple fix. Hope my little review helps. Thank you for reading.
I bought a bottle of this from eBay for £20. The volume of the bottle was 100ml so I figured that it'd last me ages.
I've recently had my hair stripped from black to brown and it's a little damaged to say the least. Anyway, I was recommended this by my stylist but I bought it online as it's cheaper that way. The oil is a little greasy and oily. It has a similar consistency to real oil but don't let that put you off. How much of it you need depends on your hair length. I have long hair below my shoulders so I tend to use a good blob of this and apply to towel dried hair. You don't have to dry your hair completely, just rub the towel around it a few times to squeeze out the excess moisture from your hair.
After using this oil my hair started to improve in terms of condition. Stripping the colour out of my hair left my hair dry and damaged but this stuff managed to get my hair back to itself. I still have a few more weeks of applying this but my hair is around 60% better (and stronger) now and it doesn't break up as much when I brush it. The oil can leave your hair feeling a little greasy if you apply too much of it so I suggest starting with a small amount and working towards a larger amount until most of your hair is covered. The oil also helps to mend split ends, this works a treat on mine and mine are really bad!
I would recommmend this stuff. It's not cheap but it's brilliant.
As a hairdresser, I have used several of these products containing Moroccan oil that seem to have sprung up on the market in the last 18 months or so. I like them all, as generally they are light on the hair (ie don't weigh it down and make it greasy as most traditional hair oils and serums tend to) and smoothe the hair effectively too. However, the best on the market at the minute does seem to be the original, Moroccanoil.
The packaging isn't particularly eyecatching as it comes in a plain brown bottle with a blue label that to be honest doesn't quite match the price tag, but once you use the product, you will never go back - it is fabulous to use when blowdrying, straightening and to finish the hair. Just add a small amount and work it through the ends working up to the roots and it works a treat. Great for curly or coarse hair as it smoothes all those annoying flyaway bits that spring up. I use it on my hair every day almost, even if it is just to soften the ends - the hair feels amazing after smoothing a little of the oil though.
The price is a little prohibitive, but don't let it put you off because a little goes a long way, a the bottle is a generous size too. Highly recommend!
This has been described as a wonder product in magazines and on the internet. I'd seen the product in several online shops and after doing some research, decided to part with my money too, despite the price of the product.
The product claims quite a lot of things: that it will create silky shine for all hair types, that it's ultra-light and non-greasy with fast absorption time, that it aids detangling, that it even has the ability to restore over-processed hair or damage caused by colour treatment, heat treatment and environmental factors...! It also claims that it's good for extensions too!
I purchased my 100ml bottle of "Moroccan Oil - The original oil treatment' from BeautyBay over 2 years ago for £29.25. Since then there are a huge amount of products released from this brand. The bottle also comes in a pump form which is really handy - I would have picked this if there was the choice available previously! The bottle that I have is dark amber/brown coloured with a normal, screw on cap. The oil is a light honey/amber colour and is quite thick in consistency. It's not very runny and extremely easy to apply.
I normally use this only after I've washed my hair and soaked up excess water with a towel. I get rather paranoid about creating a greasy scalp from putting the product too sparingly on my roots, as a result and out of a habit that has worked for me so far my routine is: I place a small dollop of product on the palm of my hand, rub it against the other palm and work it through my damp hair, concentrating about 1-2 inches from the roots downwards. I tend to let my hair dry naturally.
Overall I've had great experiences with this product. The smell is really lovely and pleasant, and so far the claims have been right: the oil absorbs really easily into my hair and makes it look visibly shinier and even softer. Despite having long, wavy hair that can be hard to comb, the product does de-tangle well too. I don't get much frizz, but with this product there was even less frizz than usual. There were periods when I used this very regularly, but as the oil diminished I became more sparing - explains why I still have a tiny bit left two years on! (The prices are pretty much the same as before, but the oil is sold in many more places and seems to have become popular in hair salons.) It's a product that gives my hair an extra 'oomph' since my hair is pretty healthy already.
I've seen reviews of some girls carrying it around in their makeup bags to put on dry hair in order to fix the odd stray frizz that has made itself apparent, or to apply to newly curled hair that is losing its shape a bit. I've personally never done this, but I thought I'd put it out there. I can't speak for colour processed/damaged hair either.
The product is really nice, but given the price range, it's something I'd think twice about given that my hair is already very healthy looking. If you have similar reserves about this product, but still want to try it out, the product is sold in 25ml travel size bottles at around £13. Still very expensive, but better than buying the £30 bottle I think! For this reason though, I'll give it 4 stars instead of 5... the price is just too much!
I started using Moroccanoil last year, after I had read several reviews in magazines stating what a wonder product it is. I haven't looked back. I have below the shoulder, thick, highlighted wavy hair. Over the past 15 years I have tried a multitude of styling products on it to try and get it to behave, but to no avail! I also have very little time to style my hair, so before discovering Morroccanoil I generally tied it back and hoped for the best. Just a couple of pumps of Moroccanoil is enough to calm the frizz and give me sleek hair. It is easy to apply - you pump the oil into your hands, rub it between your palms, and then apply it to your hair, paying particular attention to dry ends.
I find that I don't need to blow dry my hair once the oil is applied, as even air drying seems to produce good results. The oil has the added bonus of being beautifully fragranced.
The oil is quite expensive, but I think that a little goes a long way, so I find that a bottle tends to last me about six months. I absolutely would recommend this product to anyone with dry, coarse or frizzy hair.
Moroccanoil Clarifying Shampoo cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly, while helping to restore moisture balance. Formulated with essential oils it is designed to clear hair of product build-up, chlorine and environmental impurities. Use prior to colour treatment for the most even results. To use: Massage into wet hair and rinse. Follow with conditioner. For use every two weeks.
