Argan oil is produced from the Argan tree in Morocco and used in many cosmetics and medical products. Due to its very small and specific growing area in the Sahara desert Argan oil is one of the rarest oils in the world.

By having a unique combination of fatty acids, antioxidant and vitamin E, beauty experts in the last few years have dubbed Argan oil as liquid gold. It has been known to preserve the youth of skin by preventing wrinkles, UV damage and protects the skin from moisture evaporating keeping the skin hydrated and healthy.

With this knowledge experts have now added this which some are now naming 'liquid gold' to hair products it has proved to be a miracle treatment for hair. By being able to stop moisture from evaporating it will keep the hair hydrated which will also improve shine and heal any damage/dry areas.

Vitamin E is a great ingredient to add to hair as it increases oxygen uptake meaning it will improve the circulation of the scalp and stimulate hair growth. Fatty acids are a key component for healthy skin, hair and nails, however the body does not produce them meaning it has to be added in.

It is known that you can have a fatty acid imbalance, having dry/scaly skin, brittle nails and dry hair is a key factor to having fatty acid imbalance, as it is a key ingredient in Argan oil the fatty acids will really benefit the hair and make it healthier. Great if you find you struggle with your hair, for example it's frizzy, dry and split.

TIPS on how to use argan oil in your hair care regimen

The use of Argan oil is highly recommended after shampooing and conditioning.  

Apply it in towel dried hair before styling, as it is more of a treatment. However other styling products can still be used. It will instantly nourish any dry areas, seal split ends and make it easier to comb.

Argan oil can also prolong color, as it is applied in the hair it penetrates straight through the hair shaft to the cortex where chemical reactions take place, by leaving a protective film inside and outside of the cortex it gathers the water and locks it in creating more moisture as hair is being dried, so any coloring agents will be locked in the hair shaft as well preventing color loss.

As it is also protecting the outer layer of the hair (the cuticle) any frizziness or fly-aways will be tamed and easily managed when it comes to styling the hair. For those with coarse hair the use of Argan oil will make it appear a lot lighter and softer to touch helping with the styling side as coarse hair, as it can be difficult to look healthy where the cuticle is often raised, the Argan oil will smooth it down.
