5 Ways to Use Argan Oil on Your Hair

1. Deep Conditioning

Apply argan oil from the roots to the tip of your hair and massage into the scalp thoroughly then cover with a shower cap and wrap with a hot towel for 30 – 45 mins or overnight if desired. A hair steamer can also be used. Afterward, wash your hair and style as usual – moisture.

2. For Shiny Hair

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

3. Styling Oil

Apply 3 to 4 drops of argan oil to wet hair before styling. Helps protect hair from split ends and keeps frizz in check.

4. Deep Conditioning Mix

Mix 5 drops of argan oil in with your favorite deep conditioner, apply generously to hair and sit under a hair steamer for 20 – 30 minutes – intense moisturization.

5. Treating Coloured Hair

If you color your hair, this is a fantastic oil to get the moisture back into your hair. Method 1 above is especially good for colored hair.

Argan oil can be mixed with other oils but the most complementary oils are sweet almond oil and rosehip seed oil.
