The Miracle Treatment: Using Moroccan Argan Oil for Hair

Moroccan Argan Oil has become a haircare essential for people with dry, damaged, or frizzy hair. It is obtained from the nut of the Argan Tree, which only grows in semi-desert areas of Morocco. For centuries, women in the Mediterranean have included this gold-hued oil in their hair and skincare routine - and they had a solid reason for it. Argan nut extracts are rich in a cocktail of nourishing compounds that strengthen the hair and revitalize the skin.

Moroccan Argan Oil is an intergenerational beauty secret in Morocco, but we are still new to it in the West. People often ask us ‘what’s special about Argan oil’ and ‘why it should be used for hair?’ That’s why we will be focusing on the benefits of Moroccan Argan Oil for hair.

Moroccan Argan Oil: Benefits for Hair

Argan oil is packed with vitamins, fatty acids, and powerful antioxidants so it has many uses. Because of its light texture, Moroccan Argan Oil works wonderfully well as a moisturizer for all types of hair. The luxurious nut-scented oil has many other benefits too. It can:

  • Hydrate the hair and tame frizz
  • Give your locks extra shine
  • Revitalize, repair and nourish damaged hair
  • Tackle dandruff
  • Reduce hair loss
  • Improve scalp health
  • Boost hair growth
  • Protect your hair

If you are looking for a moisturizer that does not weigh your hair down or make it greasy, Moroccan Argan Oil is an excellent choice. Most of its moisturizing properties can be attributed to oleic acid, linoleic acid, other medium-chain fatty acids, and phenols. Not only do they hydrate the hair and the scalp, but they also protect them against dryness, damage, and dandruff.

Argan oil is also rich in vitamins A, C, and E, all of which boost hair growth, nourish the hair from roots to tips and give it a natural shine boost. Antioxidants give hair its vitality and protect it against UV rays, excessive dryness, and sun damage.

How to Use Moroccan Argan Oil for Hair?

Liquid gold aka Moroccan Argan Oil is very special. For an oil that feels so luxurious in tresses, it is very versatile. You can use it as a natural hair mask, a hair taming product, and even a leave-in conditioner. Here are different ways you can include this oil in your hair care routine:

  • Pre-Wash Hair Mask

All you need for this pre-wash hair mask is Moroccan Argan Oil. It is ideal for damaged hair. Around 30 minutes before you shower, apply a few drops of argan oil to your scalp and rub it into your hair. Wait for 30 minutes, then head to the shower. Wash your hair with your usual shampoo (preferably sulfate-free) and then use conditioner as you normally would.

  • Hair Serum

Argan oil has major protective properties so you can also use it to minimize frizz and keep your hair in shape. Before styling or blow-drying your hair, rub a few drops of pure Moroccan Argan Oil into it. If you use a hairdryer, your hair will look smooth, tamed, and frizz-free. If you’re using heat-intense styling equipment (straighteners or curling tongs), Argan oil will protect your strands from heat damage.

  • Leave-in Conditioner

If your hair is dry, you can even use Argan oil as a leave-in conditioner. You won’t be needing a lot of Argan oil for this. Just wash your hair with your shampoo, apply a conditioner, and then towel dry your hair. When your hair is damp (but not dripping!) squeeze 2-3 small drops of liquid gold onto your hand, rub your palms and comb your fingers through your hair. You will immediately notice that your hair has become more manageable.

  • Overnight Hair Treatment

The overnight hair treatment is like a pre-wash mask, except better! You can use argan oil or you can mix it with another rejuvenating oil such as raw coconut oil. You can create your own overnight mask by mixing coconut oil and Argan oil or just use argan oil.

Massage 8-10 drops (depending on the length and volume of your hair) of Argan Oil or your Argan-coconut infusion into your hair, covering it from root till tips. Rub the oil in properly and massage your hair for at least 10 minutes. Then wrap your hair in a towel or hair wrap and leave it on for the night. Wash your hair in the morning, thank argan oil for the extra softness and proceed to style.

  • Shampoo Infusion

People with dry or damaged hair often have a common complaint; that their hair becomes drier and frizzier every time they wash their hair. This usually happens because some shampoos contain sharp chemicals that strip the hair of its natural moisture, making it dull and dry.

One way to fix this is to look for a milder sulfate-free shampoo and infuse it with argan oil. The next time you’re washing your hair, pour the usual amount on shampoo onto your palm. Add 2-3 drops of Moroccan argan oil to it and rub your hands together until it is mixed. Apply to your hair then wash, rinse, and condition it as usual.

How to Choose the Best Argan Oil for Hair?

Argan oil has a delicate chemical structure. Exposing it to high temperatures or over-processing it can reduce its potency. Any additives or artificial ingredients can also reduce the effectivity of this oil. If you use impure argan oil for your hair, you may experience a build-up or greasiness. That’s why, if you want to reap its benefits to the fullest, you should only use pure and cold-pressed Argan oil.

All-natural argan oil has a golden hue and a light texture. It applies smoothly, does not feel gritty against the skin, and gets absorbed into the scalp rapidly. One way to make sure your Argan oil is not impure is to check the ingredient list; it should read 100% Argan oil.
