More on Argan Oil



Not only is argan oil great for your skin, but it is amazing for your hair as well!  According to the Argan Oil Society,
  1. Argan oil hydrates the hair in a natural way. It stops the curliness and roughness of hair in an efficient way.
  2. Argan oil penetrates into the hair pores or shafts and enhances the elasticity of hair. It also proves to be very nourishing for the growth of hair.
  3. Argan oil is very good for uncontrollable and unmanageable hair. It restores the smoothness of hair and makes them manageable again.
  4. Natural antioxidants present in Argan oil strengthen the hair by repairing the damaged cellular membrane of hair.
  5. Presence of Vitamin E in Argan oil makes it a tremendous agent for hair treatment. Many external and internal agents like heat, over styling, and oxidization damage the hair. Vitamin E present in Argan oil is very useful in restoring the natural hair and renewing and repairing the damage caused by destructive agents.
  6. Researchers believe that non-greasy Argan oil locks the moisture in and adds to and restores the luster and shine of hair.
  7. Color treatment of hair causes certain damage to hair, makes them brittle, and takes away the smoothness. It is an additional benefit of Argan oil that it cures the brittle hair and increases the life of color treated hair.
  8. It is believed by hair stylists that Argan oil may finally be the right choice to heal and restore the damaged, dry and weak hair from environmental extremes, excessive styling practices, and perms.
  9. Rich contents of unsaturated fatty acids like Omega 3 and Omega 9 in Argan oil are a direct source of essential nutritional components for hair pores and roots. These unsaturated fatty acids strengthen the protein bonding structures in hair thereby improving strength of hair and healing the split ends of hair.


    Argan oil can be applied to wet or dry hair--I like to put a tiny bit in my palm after the shower and rub it into the ends of my hair before combing (I use this instead of conditioner).  If you have fly-aways or frizz after styling, put a few drops of Argan oil on your palm and gently smooth over your hair.
