Have you ever heard of Birchbox? It’s an awesome monthly subscription box that sends you new (or just-released) products to you at so that you can try new things at an awesome, low price! Well, I was given the opportunity to review a product that hasn’t even been released yet! I was super-excited to get to do this! I’ve heard such great things about Birchbox and am thrilled to try out one of the products that they offer on their website (or, in this case, will soon offer! 😉

So when the box arrived, I opened it to find a new addition to the Beauty Protector line that Birchbox sells on their website! This new product is called ‘Protect & Oil’ and it’s an Argan Oil for your hair. The Beauty Protector line’s moto is, “Never sacrifice condition for style” and the back of the bottle reads…

Keeps hair healthy, shiny, and happy. Beauty Protector Oil will guard against UV rays and heat, while it’s smoothing and strengthening qualities work tirelessly.

My Review…

The Packaging…
Beauty Protector did an outstanding job with the packaging for this new product. It’s in a beautiful black rubberized bottle with gold writing and designs. It has a little black pump handle on the top that allows you to get just the right amount of product out at a time. Not only do I not need to worry about this bottle breaking, but it’s also mess free and the pump assures me that I’ll be able to use every last drop of this amazing argan oil!

The Product…
I’ve been hearing a lot about Argan Oil recently and the magic it can do to your hair. Which made me even more excited to review Beauty Protector’s Protect & Oil, since I’ve never had the chance to use Argan Oil on my hair. 😀 The first thing I noticed when I used it was the fragrance of the oil. I don’t know what fragrance they use in this oil…but, wow, it smells amazing!! Every time I go to use Protect & Oil, I have to smell it. I can’t but a firm finger on the type of fragrance, but it reminds me of cotton candy! Sugary and sweet…the smell instantly sold me on this product! Haha, I know the argan oil will do wonders for my frizzy hair, but any time you can find a product that works great AND smells great…you’ve struck gold!

I’ve only been able to use this product twice since receiving it early this week, but I can already see the difference it makes on my hair. Usually, when I let my hair air dry, it’s super frizzy by the time it has dried. When my hair was still damp from my shower, I used two pumps (I have long hair) of this Protect & Oil and distributed it evenly throughout my hair. When my hair finally dried (it usually takes a while!), I could see the difference right off! It wasn’t as frizzy any more and the ends didn’t look as bad (I’ve got some split ends”. It looked really healthy!

The oil isn’t a thick or sticky oil and I am easily able to distribute it throughout my hair. It doesn’t leave my hair looking greasy or shiny at all. For those of you who are not aware of the amazing benefits, Argan Oil is very hydrating to hair and rich with a lot of vitamins and nutrition that your hair needs. If you have damaged or unruly hair, look into Beauty Protector’s Protect & Oil!

Major Likes & Dislikes…
I’m sure you guessed this, but my major like about Protect & Oil is the smell! Oh my goodness! I wish I had a candle that smelled like this! It almost smells edible! 😀 I also really like the effects of Protect & Oil on my hair. Not only do I use it after washing my hair, but I also use it to add just a little shine to my hair when I’m styling it. And also a good amount on my ends to keep them healthy. 🙂 Honestly, there’s nothing negative about this product. I’m not sure the price of this, but it’s really good size bottle for hair oil — 4 oz.

Final Thoughts…
I love Protect & Oil! It smells amazing, makes my hair look amazing, and I can’t wait to see what the long-term results do for my hair! If you have damaged or frizzy hair, this will do wonders for it, giving you beautiful styles and healthier hair.
