How to Use Argan Oil on Hair

Argan oil is rich in essential fatty acids, which assist natural hair in moisture retention and guarding against split ends among other things.

Argan oil is one of the most popular oils for hair and is commonly referred to as “liquid gold” because of its amazing abilities.

Due to its rich essential fatty acid profile, it’s recommended to use argan oil in small quantities – a few drops is all you need at a time.

Most argan oil on the market is produced by a women’s cooperative in Morocco. These cooperatives provide health care and education to women – that’s what I call beauty for a cause!

5 Ways to Use Argan Oil for Hair Growth

Outlined below are five effective recipes for hair with argan oil. Argan oil is particularly effective for split ends and hair breakage.

Argan oil is ideal for medium to thick hair as well as low porosity and high porosity hair.

Argan oil can also be used on the face as an anti-aging treatment. Apply after a home peeling treatment for best results.

1. Deep Conditioning Mask

Apply argan oil from the roots to the tip of your hair and massage it into the scalp thoroughly then cover it with a disposable cap.

Wrap a hot towel around your head for 30 – 45 mins or overnight if desired. A hair steamer can also be used.

Afterward, shampoo and deep condition your hair and say hello to moisture and shine.

2. For Shiny Hair

Sprinkle a few drops of argan oil on your hairbrush before detangling gently. This will promote instant shine and luster.

If you don’t use a brush, you can use your fingers as a detangler and rake it through your hair. Shine for days. Massage any residue into your scalp too.

3. Styling Oil

Apply 5 to 10 drops of argan oil to wet hair before styling. Helps protect hair from split ends and keeps frizz in check.

It’s the reason why argan oil is one of the top ingredients in Arewa Hair Styling Oil.

If you color your hair, argan oil works wonders to get the moisture back into your hair. Method 1 above is especially good for colored hair.

Feel free to use argan oil as a pre-poo treatment too overnight and shampoo the next morning.
