(AG Re:coil Curl Activator: 9 Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream: 4) In fact, if you suffer from allergies, the Moroccanoil cream may be downright aggravating. Many clients responded favorably to the AG fragrance, and no one responded favorably to the Moroccanoil fragrance. But fragrance was the deciding factor in this round. The Moroccanoil bottle features the company's signature blue-green label with an orange letter M- not the prettiest packaging, but certainly distinctive. When it comes to labeling and design, AG's presentation is sleek, simple, and modern. However, I prefer the AG tube because it make it easier to get the last bit of product out of the container. In terms of packaging, the AG cream comes in a tube while the Moroccanoil cream comes in pump bottle, so both products are easy to dispense into the hand. Sensory Appeal/Packaging: AG Re:coil has a light but wonderful fragrance, while the Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream has an overpowering, almost "medicinal" fragrance, which some clients likened to men's aftershave. Argan oil may be a "miracle ingredient", but is wasn't enough to win this round. While both products do contain alcohol, the alcohol content of the Moroccanoil cream is much greater. The AG Re:coil Curl Activator, on the other hand, contains several beneficial natural ingredients, such as sage, nettle, chamomile, hops, rosemary, and wild cherry extracts. The other ingredients are: Cetearyl Alcohol, Polyquaternium 11, Glycol Stearate, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol, Polyquaternium 72, Fragrance, Dimethicone, Behentrimonium Methosulfate and C10-40, Isoalkylamidopropylethyldimonium Ethosulfate and Cetyl Alcohol, Ceteareth-20, DMDM Hydantoin, and Lactic Acid. Ingredients: The only ingredient worth mentioning in the Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream is argan oil. (AG Re:coil Curl Activator: 8 Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream: 5) Also, some clients with allergies found the scent of the Moroccanoil product to be unbearable. Ultimately, the Moroccanoil cream lost points because it tends to leave the hair sticky and greasy. Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream was a better match for Hispanic, African-American, and mixed ethnicity hair, while the AG cream was a better match for Caucasian hair types, and worked very well on permed clients. Unfortunately, this shine doesn't look natural, it's more like a greasy type of sheen. The AG cream provided a matte finish, while the Moroccanoil cream managed to impart shine. On dark hair, both products will leave behind a whitish residue if too much product is applied. Both creams are on the heavier side, and neither performed as well as I would have liked on fine hair, although AG Re:coil did the job better. Performance: After the first day of testing I knew that this was going to be a hard round to score, because both products excelled and failed in various scenarios. Each product is used on actual salon clients for one week, on a wide variety of hair types and textures. Which curl cream deserves to be called the best? That's what Haircare Face-Off! intends to find out, with a unique scoring system which rates each product on a 1-10 scale in the following categories: Performance, Ingredients, Sensory Appeal/Packaging, and Value. Curl Defining Cream is designed with advanced heat-activated technology that provides intense conditioning and promises to keep hair bouncy and frizz-free for hours. Today, Moroccanoil is a company with a full range of haircare and skincare products. Moroccanoil Curl Control Cream is manufactured by the company which started the whole argan oil craze- a craze which has spawned dozens of copycat products which include this "miracle ingredient". AG's Re:coil Curl Activator promotes soft, casual waves even in high-humidity conditions.
