Four Things you Should Really Know about Argan Oil for Hair
When it comes to our bodies, the more natural things we put on, and in them, the better. We were not created for chemicals. Man-made substances are often very harmful for our bodies – which is why many people have made the switch to organic foods and products. It has been proven time, and time again, how much heathier we are when we cut down on the chemicals used on our bodies and in our environments.
This even holds true for our hair. Many shampoos, conditioners, and styling agents are loaded with artificial chemicals which dry out and damage the hair. Because of the havoc these products wreak on their hair, countless women have decided to go all natural by using vinegar and other natural cleaning agents.
But did you know that argan oil for hair is an all-natural, revitalizing hair treatment? Instead of drying out your hair and making it look, and feel, like straw, this natural remedy infuses the hair with vitamins and moisturizing proteins to revive the hair. It is helpful for stimulating hair growth, moisturizing, and fortifying damaged hair too.
Argan oil for hair is 100% natural – straight from the tree itself
Argan oil is actually a natural oil that comes from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree, a plant native to Morocco. While many of the natives eat this argan oil on breads and other delicacies, it is used in America as body and hand lotions. It is said that this “liquid gold” as they called it, was discovered as early as 1550 B.C., because old records describe the use of argan oil by locals to heal and beautify their bodies. It took a while however, for the news of this to spread around the world.
Once the fruit is picked from the tree, it is laid out to dry; when it is fully dried the pulp is removed. From that, comes the argan oil which is high in moisturizing vitamins, such as vitamin E, and other proteins. Vitamin E not only stimulates hair growth, but naturally moisturizes the scalp to help prevent dandruff as well, which is also why hair products use this oil. Moroccan oil leave in treatments yield healthy, long-lasting hair with a silky look and healthier feel.
It comes in all different forms!
From heat protectant, to conditioner and shampoo, or leave-in treatments, argan hair care offers it all. Argan oil hair conditioner and shampoo work just like any other hair conditioner and shampoo. To be applied to hair while showering, this conditioner is rubbed into the scalp and hair and left to sit for a few minutes as it rehydrates those damaged strands. The shampoo is used similarly. Both are gentle on colored hair and act also as great detangling agents. Both products have about 4.5 stars out of a possible 5-star rating. Each can be bought individually or together in an oil wash set of 2 8-ounce bottles, or 2 32-ounce bottles.
The argan thermal protector is a lightweight spray that is misted over the hair before straighteners and curling irons are used. The thermal protector creates an invisible barrier between the heated straightener, or curler, and the hair, protecting it from the intense heat. The spray can also be used as a styling mist. It detangles the hair while giving it a shiny look, and moisturizes it as the hair is being styled.
The argan oil wet line set is a collection of each product, sold all in one set. They come in sets of 4 8-ounce bottles or 4 32-ounce bottles. Made in the United States of America, these argan oil hair products have not been tested on animals.
The leave in treatment is just for you
The oil treatments replenish the natural oil in your hair and restores the moisture to the dried out strands, giving those tresses a renewed shine; this oil treatment is perfect for all types and textures of hair. The leave in hair treatment is…well, just that. It is an argan oil that is to be sprayed or massaged into the hair and left in. As it settles, it soaks in, moisturizing and nourishing the strands to give them a sleek, healthy look and feel.
There are two different types of leave in treatments – one is sprayed and the other is a sort of gel-like substance that must be massaged in. But either way, these products work! The argan oil smoothing mask is designed to be massaged into the hair and scalp and left to soak for 5 – 10 minutes before being rinsed out. It infuses the hair with vitamins and moisturizing proteins to revive the hair. These leave in hair oils are sulfate-free, phosphate-free, and paraben-free and are safe for human hair, as well as for hair extensions.
