Argan oil also known as Moroccan oil is a rare oil widely used in skin and hair care. It is a plant oil produced from kernels of the Argan tree. It has a pleasant nutty buttery smell which is not overpowering, and consists of anti-oxidants high in Vitamin E and Vitamin C.
This is how I incorporate Argan oil in my hair care routine:
Do remember that a little goes a long way! Don’t use too much because your hair will become oily.
- I use it as a hot oil treatment incorporating a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, half a tablespoon of Argan oil and sometimes coconut oil for a more intensive treatment.
- Apply the oil mixture throughout the hair from roots to the tips.
- Massage the mixture into the scalp. Wrap your hair in a warm towel or a shower cap and keep it for at least 30 minutes.
- Then wash hair with cold or warm water, and follow up with a shampoo and conditioner.
If my hair is frizzy after showering, I lightly apply some Argan oil throughout my wet hair and let it dry naturally. Applying Argan oil on your hair while it’s wet will help to make it dry 40% faster. If you are blow-drying your hair it will help to protect your hair shafts from heat.
If you do this treatment every time you wash your hair you can see a difference after 2 weeks. You will notice your hair has become smoother and glossy, less frizzy and reduced split ends. It acts as a moisturizing agent that is perfect for beating the hot and dry weather. You can apply a bit of oil on the tips of your hair after washing your hair and before going out.
If you are constantly using a curling iron, applying some Argan oil to your hair will help to maintain the shape of your curls or hairstyle and protect it from the heat. You can use a bit more after styling your hair if you feel it’s not enough. Furthermore it helps to promote and increase hair growth.
Make sure you buy pure extracts or organic Argan oil to reap the full benefits of this miraculous oil. There are beauty products comprising of Argan oil mixed with synthetic ingredients that can do more harm than good.
It is a natural secret weapon for beautiful hair and glowing skin used by many celebrities. It pumps vitality into hair. You can achieve silky gorgeous hair within a month if you use this oil consistently in your hair care routine.
