5 reasons you should be using argan oil in your hair

While a couple of drops of Argan oil may not replace a heat protectant spray or cream, the same nutrients that help moisturize your hair can help provide protection against tools like blow dryers and hair irons. Vitamin E helps provide added nutrition and moisture to the hair while the essential amino acids found in the oil keep it from damaging the hair strand further. It’s no wonder why so many heat styling products contain Argan oil as an active ingredient.

On that note, Argan oil also works great to help prevent frizz and increase shine. In dry, hot climates (such as a high desert area) Argan oil works great to prevent breakage that comes from being too dry. Breakage, as you may know, is one of the biggest ways that hair appears more frizzy. Adding a couple of drops of Argan oil in your hair while it’s still wet will not only help prevent that unwanted breakage and frizz, but it will help hair appear smooth and shiny.

This is one of the often less-marketed benefits of Argan oil, but the holy grail ingredient also contains a lot of essential antioxidants that can help reduce scalp inflammation and stimulate hair growth. Many people begin to notice that, after using Argan oil regularly for a couple of months, their hair begins to grow faster than it normally would. The faster growth, combined with the essential nutrients that help nourish the hair and prevent breakage and split ends, means that Argan oil may just be the key to getting the long hair you’ve always dreamed of but have never been able to achieve.
