Uses and Benefits of Argan Oil for Hair Care Regimen

In every culture, oils have been an intricate part of haircare for many years. Among these, one of the most versatile oils is argan oil. It is called ‘Liquid Gold’ and the argan tree is called the ‘Tree of Life.’

Argan originates in Morocco and every part of the tree has many uses. But the most important benefit we get from argan is that argan seed oil is a very effective product for skincare and haircare. The oil can also be used independently or blended into various products and cosmetics.

Argan oil is one of the best choices for any hair care regimen. You can get stronger and shinier hair when you include this in your routine. Read on to find out all about the oil and its benefit for all skin and hair types.

What is argan oil?

It is a vegetable oil extracted from the argan Spinosa seeds. Cosmetic-grade argan oil is made from unroasted kernels. They are sun-dried, and the argan nuts are broken to extract the kernels. After that, they are cold-pressed to extract the oil. The cosmetic grade oil has a golden color.

The benefits of the oil, together with its color, earned it the nickname ‘Liquid Gold.’ It was initially only found in Morocco but is now cultivated worldwide. The oil is beneficial for hair, nails, and skin when used topically.

Benefits of argan hair oil 

Besides its use in skincare products, the oil offers numerous benefits for your hair. Ranging from improving hair elasticity to preventing frizziness, this versatile oil improves the health of your hair and scalp in the following ways:

1. Hydrates and soften hair

The oil is a rich hydrator and improves the hydration of your scalp and hair. As the hair is thoroughly hydrated, it can retain moisture better, resulting in much softer hair. Especially those who have very dry and coarse hair would benefit from argan care range products.

2. Improves hair elasticity

The oil is rich in antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamin E, which naturally improve your hair’s elasticity. Thus, it strengthens your hair and prevents hair from breaking off easily. Therefore, you get less hair fall from tugging and pulling.

3. Increases shine

The hair looks much shinier and more lustrous when you use argan hair oil regularly. This is because it improves overall hair health. In addition, this oil gives a better definition of the hair texture despite heat and styling, so the hair’s natural shine does not diminish.

4. Prevents frizziness

The oil prevents frizziness. Hence, it is highly recommended for those with curly or coarse hair that suffers from excess static. In addition, it makes styling such hair easier.

5. Protects from dirt and grime

The oil is very lightweight and is not sticky at all. Besides making your hair look shinier and feel smoother, the oil does not make your hair greasy, protecting your hair from dirt and grime, which causes hair damage and makes your hair dull. 

6. Prevents frequent and excessive hair fall 

Massaging your scalp with argan hair oil strengthens the roots of the hair while keeping your pores unclogged. The oil reduces the chances of hair fall and promotes thicker, shinier, and healthier hair. 

There are many argan hair oils on the market. But it is important to go for a product that does not contain harsh chemicals and toxins. We recommend Mamaearth Argan Hair Oil which is dermatologically tested and does not contain harmful chemicals.

 It also contains avocado oil, which moisturizes and strengthens your hair, coconut oil, to boost thicker hair growth, and castor oil, which improves blood circulation in your scalp and promotes hair growth. This lightweight hair oil is suitable for all hair types but is best suited for frizzy hair that is prone to hair fall. 

• Its benefits for hair care 

You can use the oil directly or in the form of various products for hair care. You will get shampoos, conditioners, serums, and even masks made with argan oil as the primary ingredient. Even in its purest form, the oil is safe to use directly on your scalp and hair. In addition, it does not have a strong smell which is an added advantage for those who are sensitive to scents.

Argan hair oil can also be used as a blend with other oils. In addition, it works great as a leave-in serum since it is not sticky but can tame your frizzy hair. Last but not least, it protects against heat styling, making it a natural heat-protectant for your hair.

• Its benefits for skin care

In addition to hair care benefits, the oil has several skincare benefits. Some of them include:

antioxidants in the oil help protect the skin from free radical damage caused by the sun. As a result, Mamaearth’s Argan Oil prevents hyperpigmentation and sunburn.

• Vitamin E in the oil helps water retention and keeps the skin moisturized.
