Ojon Rare Blend Total Therapy Hair Oil | Review

I want to set the record straight - I'm not someone who's lucky. I honestly can't recall a time I've ever won ANYTHING (except for one time when I won $40 at a bingo with my Grandma) so you can imagine my surprise when I won the 'Ojon rare blend Total Therapy Oil' off of a well-known Youtuber's give-away. Out of 100,000+ entries, I was 1 of 5 winners! I was pretty excited, not only because I actually won something but also because I won somewhat of a luxury hair product at $39.00 and I NEVER drop any serious money on hair products. I hardly bat an eye at spending $25.00 on a lip gloss but hair products? No way.

The 'Ojon rare blend oil' describes itself as "So potent that just one precious drop of this multi-tasking wonder protects, nourishes to repair and transforms dull, dry or damaged hair to vibrant health. Hair instantly looks glossier, shinier; suddenly feels softer, silkier, more luxurious." - those are some mighty claims, huh?

The 'Rare Blend Oil' that I received is one of three that Ojon apparently makes and is marketed as the "Total Therapy" version. While mine has the yellow, white and red trifecta of colours, the other two also have different colours and uses. There's the 'Rejuvenating Therapy' (yellow, white, yellow) and the 'Moisture Therapy' (yellow, white, blue). I assume mine being the 'Total Therapy' version contains the benefits of all three? I can only make assumptions here since their descriptions are practically exactly the same.

So first of all, what is it with expensive liquid products not coming with a pump?! Foundations are notorious for this and you either end up wasting product because it spills out too fast (not to mention the risk of ruining your clothes...I hope I'm not alone on that one) or spending extra time trying to be careful not to have any aforementioned spillage and tipping out one drop at a time.

The Ojon is exactly like this, which is one of a main reasons I wasn't thrilled with it. I do feel bad complaining about something I got for free  but what can you do? Don't get me wrong, the tri-coloured oils look really cool in the sleek glass bottle and it's fun getting to shake them all up to get an orangey-pink hair goo. But that's pretty much where the fun ends. Carefully unscrewing the top and trying to dump a small amount of oil into your palm is no easy feat. More than once I've emptied too much in my palm and thought "Oh well, I'm sure it'll be fine" only to have my hair look worse than before I even washed it. I know that's nit-picky since ultimately the amount of oil being used each time is my own fault, but still.

Not wanting to waste a product that wasn't cheap (even thought it was technically free for me), I emptied the entire contents into another sleek glass bottle - this time with a pump! At last, I thought, I'll be able to cater the exact measurements of oil to my specifications, it'll be glorious! Not so.

It seems every time I tried to use the Ojon oil with my new fancy pump the results were roughly the same. Each time only slightly less oily, it didn't seem to matter that I was only using 1-2 drops of this stuff - Slickcity for miles.

Could it be that maybe the Ojon oil is just too rich for my hair? It's entirely possible. Perhaps someone with thicker or natural hair would really benefit from this product and I hope they do! But my sad limp hair can't wait to kiss Ojon goodbye. I've already bought a drug store replacement so hopefully you'll be hearing a more positive review about that one.

I didn't notice my hair to be any softer, silkier or luxurious. It was certainly shinier due to the oil but it wasn't in a good way.

All in all, Ojon's rare blend - Total Therapy Hair Oil gets a 2/10 for me.
