Your hair deserves just as much TLC as your skin does. Similar to your skin, your scalp and hair endure damage from both the sun and pollution, so it’s only right to treat them with equal care, love and attention. Whether your hair is in need of hydration, your scalp needs soothing, or you’re just dreaming of glossy hair - argan oil is a must in any hair care routine. We’ve put together some of the most-asked questions so you can get adequately acquainted with argan oil.

What is Argan Oil?

Argan oil is an oil derived from the kernels of the argan tree, also known as the Argania Spinosa, a native to Morocco. Often referred to as ‘liquid gold’ this oil has been cherished for centuries due to its remarkable properties and numerous benefits for the hair and skin. Extracted through a meticulous process, argan oil is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E, making it a potent, yet natural ingredient for your hair. 

What are the benefits for your hair? 

This popular oil is much loved by hair care experts and with good reason - it’s brimming with benefits. We know it’s rich in antioxidants and vitamins, but what does it actually do for our hair?

Hydrating

Argan oil is deeply hydrating, providing much-needed moisture to dry and brittle hair. Rich in

essential fatty acids, natural antioxidants and squalane, it works to replenish lost moisture, leaving your hair softer, smoother, and more manageable.

Repairs and protects

Argan oil is packed with nutrients, like vitamin E that can help repair and protect your hair from damage. The presence of antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, aids in combating free radical damage, which contributes to improving the overall health of the hair.

Natural heat protectant 

Acting as a natural heat protectant, argan oil shields your hair from the damaging effects of heat styling tools like blow dryers, curling irons, and straighteners - leaving you with healthy, undamaged hair.

Scalp health

It’s true what they say - healthy hair starts at the scalp. Argan oil is much loved for its natural ability to soothe dryness, relieve itchiness, and help balance oil production, creating an optimal environment for hair growth. It can also help to reduce inflammation as it contains linoleic acid which is known to be an anti-inflammatory. 

Promotes hair growth

With its nourishing properties, argan oil can help stimulate hair growth by promoting a healthy scalp environment. It aids in improving blood circulation to the hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and preventing hair loss.

Foundation of all hair care

Argan oil contains both oleic acid and linoleic acid, which are known to be penetration enhancers, and help improve penetration of other ingredients into the hair. 

Is Argan Oil suitable for all hair types?

Whether you have dry, damaged, frizzy, or oily hair, argan oil can benefit your hair. Fine and thin hair? Argan oil’s lightweight and non-greasy nature make it suitable. Dry and thick hair? Its moisturising and nourishing properties help replenish lost moisture, repair the hair shaft, and restore hydration. Its suitability for all hair types is what makes this popular elixir so loved. 

How do I incorporate argan oil into my hair care routine?

Depending on your hair care needs - there are various ways you can incorporate the goodness of argan oil.  We highly recommend using argan oil-infused shampoo and conditioner, ensuring that you enjoy its benefits regularly.
