If you are in the curly world at all, you have probably seen gobs of different hair growth, serum and conditioners with argan oil on the label.
Argan oil has a plethora of benefits to hair growth and hair health in general.
This is something you will want in your line up for hair products.
Just a few benefits include…
- Calms Frizz: Argan oil is a great go-to freshen up mid-day. It helps calm frizz without weighing your hair down in the process.
- Moisturizes scalp: great hair starts with a healthy scalp. Use argan oil to gently massage scalp to moisturize and keep hair follicle healthy
- High in vitamin E: which adds bounce and softness to your curls
- Hair Sealant: Because it is lightweight, argan oil is the perfect oil to seal your favorite products.
How to use argan oil
- The cool thing about argan oil is that it is versatile and can be used in many different ways.
- It can be as simple as rubbing a few drops in your palms and applying using praying hands (before bed is best). Followed by rubbing on your fingertips, applying to your scalp, and message.
- Always rub together for a few seconds to activate.
- It’s best to apply Argan Oil after you’ve applied your favorite styling products. Argan Oil acts as a sealant and would make it hard for other products to stay on the hair shaft if applied first.
You can use Argan Oil as….
- Leave-In Conditioner/refresh spray
- Hair growth: Night-time Hair Growth Serum
- Deep conditioning
