Argan oil, which originates in the exotic land of Morocco, is extracted from the nuts of the argan trees. In recent times, this oil has taken the beauty world by storm as it is not only good for the hair but also the skin. Called ‘liquid gold’ due to its deep golden colour, it is rich is fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamin E. Mostly, the oil undergoes minimal processing, so it is as natural as it can get for healthy hair and fast growth.
This oil is hydrating and moisturising. It repairs damaged hair and protects the hair follicles from further damage from heat and ultraviolet rays. Argan oil is known to treat split ends. The other advantage is that it doesn’t make the hair too greasy.
Those who have dry, brittle, frizzy or coarse hair should definitely opt for argan oil. If you style your hair frequently exposing it to heat from gadgets like straighteners, curlers and dryers, this is a good option for you.
Use: Argan oil is thick and viscous, but not greasy. You can use it frequently, even as much as every alternate day, if need be or if you lie. The oil can be applied to your hair straight from the bottle, just take a few drops on your palms and apply it on the hair strands, avoiding the roots. You can also use it to make a hair mask.
Use: As mentioned before, use organic products wherever possible, free of additives. Mildly heat the oil before applying to your scalp and hair. In winters, often the oil solidifies, so you will anyway need to heat it before application. If you are adding curry leaves, let them crackle in the hot oil before you turn off the heat. Wait till it gets warm from hot before applying. Those who have a dry scalp should massage the oil into the roots of the hair and the scalp.
