What we couldn’t check

Listed key actives and disclosed percentages. Neither brand discloses how much argan oil or linseed extract it contains. OGX's brand page lists dimethicone and isopropyl myristate first, while Ulta's page shows an older list that starts with cyclopentasiloxane; neither version includes linseed.
Comparative performance. Shine, frizz control and how hair feels have not been compared. Moroccanoil says one use increases shine by up to 118%, based on an independent study it cites; that is its claim.
