Application of argan oil for hair

Every girl wants to be beautiful. One of the indicators of grooming is healthy and shiny curls. And in order to properly monitor them, natural ingredients, natural masks and oils are needed. A fast-acting oil that nourishes and restores the structure of curls along the entire length, is an extraction from the fruits of the argan tree. Its use is able to "revive" the most dull and lifeless hair. What is an organ and why it is best to use the oil of this tree, read below.

Argan hair oil is one of the rare extracts, which is not so easy to obtain. The fact is that the extraction of this “golden elixir” is obtained from the fruits of the argan tree, and it grows only in Morocco. The harsh climate, rare harvests and manual labor make this oil truly "golden".

Did you know that when obtaining 1000 ml of argan oil extract, it is necessary to process one hundred kg of the product?

Just like a hundred years ago, the product for making butter is hand-picked by Berber girls.Entire valleys of trees are processed by hand, as the use of automated systems is prohibited, and the groves themselves are under the protection of UNESCO.

An interesting fact: argan oil is Moroccan heritage, which is why it can be offered in stores as “Moroccan” - there is no difference, this is organ oil.

Having completed the collection of fruits, the girls, with the help of large stones, separate the bones from the pulp and squeeze out the core in manual mills.

It takes several days to squeeze one liter of oil from the fruit.

After the argan extract is obtained, the oil is packaged in bottles and allowed to brew for some time. The product can be used already a few hours after processing in a hand mill.

The composition of the oil includes a large number of trace elements and vitamins, due to which the hair is restored in the shortest possible time.

Chemical filling:

• omega-3 - has a beneficial effect on the internal structure of the hair;
• omega-6 - nourishes and moisturizes curls. With the help of this acid, the hair becomes radiant;
• omega-9 - improves oxygen metabolism inside cells;
• stearic acid - accelerates growth;
• vitamins A, E, F - eliminate brittleness and saturate the inner layers of hair with moisture;
• antibiotics of natural origin - prevent diseases of the scalp and fight fungi, dandruff and seborrhea;
• fungicides and tannins - maintain the water-salt balance, restore vitality to the hair;
• antioxidants - protect against the negative effects of the external environment.

Argan extract can be used both for prevention and in order to restore the functioning of the sebaceous glands.To make it work correctly, it can be used as a mask, without additional components, or included in organic hair compresses - then the effect is complex.

Application with certain means can affect the curls in different ways. And for this, there are several ways to apply argan oil to the hair. For example, in order for the product to completely nourish the hair in one application, masks should be applied for 5-6 hours, and it is better to leave the compress on all night.

Since the argan fruit product is considered a universal hair remedy, it can be said that it has no side effects. Negative consequences can only be in case of intolerance to this oil.

It should also be emphasized that the extract is not used if the expiration date has expired. No beneficial effect can be obtained from this substance.

What should you pay attention to when choosing?

• Color. The natural substance has a light honey hue. Depending on how late the harvest is, it may be slightly darker than honey in color. If the organ oil has a bright, dark pronounced color, then this indicates the presence of dyes and additional components;
• Smell. Argan has a slightly earthy, slightly nutty aroma. When you open a bottle with a golden elixir, a delicate veil will scatter around the room. The tool should not give off a pungent odor, otherwise we can safely talk about a fake.It is better to refuse such oil;
• Country of Origin. The supply of oil is possible only from one country - Morocco. If another importer is indicated on the label, then such a product should be put back on the shelf. Distribution through other countries from Morocco is strictly prohibited, and the supply of oils is under state supervision;
• Price. Since the production of argan extract is obtained by manual labor and is quite lengthy in time, its cost corresponds to the effort expended. As a rule, the cost of natural, pure oil is 1000 rubles per 100 milliliters. The price is justified by the quality. If there is a cost for such a tool is much lower, then this indicates a diluted composition. You can use such a tool, but the result will be much worse.

Argan concentrate has a neutral smell, is easily absorbed, transparent and has no sediment. Since the product is pressed by cold pressing, the standard shelf life is 2 years. If the elixir does not match at least one of the points, it is better not to use it.

The use of argan is possible both for cosmetic and medicinal purposes. Often the oil is added to shampoos, lotions for washing, hair conditioners and masks. Using the elixir in this way increases the nutritional properties of cosmetics and protects against the negative effects of artificial additives.

In order to nourish the hair as much as possible, argan extract can be used on the hair without rinsing.

This method involves the application of oil without subsequent rinsing. In order to combat split ends, damaged ends and dry hair, you can use the following method.

After five minutes, you can use a comb so that there is no gluing effect. Since the oil has a light texture, it does not weigh down the hair, nourishes it and adds shine.

Another method is to add the oil to your hair conditioner - three drops per tube will suffice. When rinsing, you need to leave this composition on your hair for several minutes, then rinse with warm water. The elixir will perfectly cope with its function: the hair will become silky, shiny and soft along the entire length of the hair.

It is possible to add such a natural concentrate to shampoo with dry and damaged curls. With a mixed type of hair or oily scalp, it is better to use masks.

Sometimes, with overdried and damaged tips, the oil can be applied without rinsing, until the next shampooing. This method protects the tips from ultraviolet radiation, thermal effects and temperature changes.

It is best to use such natural remedies for health purposes. To do this, you need to make masks using argan oil at intervals of several days.

To restore very damaged hair with split ends, it is better to use pure oil for the entire length of the curls. Apply two tablespoons of the product to the skin and distribute with a comb. After that, make a tight tail, roll it into a knot and wrap the hair in polyethylene all night. Wash off the mask in the morning with shampoo. The effect will be visible immediately. Due to the fact that the hair is under a special cap all night, the hair absorbs all the nutrients.

Compress against hair loss will be very effective if pepper extract is used with argan oil. A few tablespoons of the elixir should be mixed with a few drops of red pepper oil and a teaspoon of burdock oil. This mask should be applied only to the hair roots - it improves blood circulation, accelerates hair growth and strengthens the follicles. You need to withstand the product for 40-60 minutes, then wash your hair with soapy water. The procedure can be repeated once a week. After 30 days, the hair becomes noticeably thicker and more voluminous.

To eliminate dandruff, you can use the following composition:

• argan oil - 3 tbsp. spoons;
• olive extract - 1 tbsp. a spoon;
• cosmetic bergamot - 6 drops

All ingredients must be mixed and rubbed into the scalp. Wrap in a cap made of polyethylene and tie over a towel. To achieve the maximum effect, it is better to warm the hair with a hairdryer for 10-15 minutes. Wash off the mask after a few hours. The effect is noticeable after three or four applications: the scalp is cleansed, energy exchange is restored, and dandruff gradually disappears.

For thin and brittle hair, the following recipe is suitable: use macadamia, argan, coconut, almond and castor oil in equal amounts. Heat the resulting mixture and apply to dry hair along the entire length, then wait a few hours. Do not forget to put on a warming cap - so the hair will absorb all the nutrients. Result: the skin is hydrated and the structure is saturated with microelements. It is best to do this mask 3-4 times a month. To achieve the final result, it is necessary to repeat the procedures for several months.

If you have hair that has been damaged by perms or bleaches, then a very nourishing mask is essential.It may include:

• avocado - 1 pc.;
• yolk - 1 pc.;
• aloe vera juice - 1 tbsp. a spoon;
• argan oil - 1 tbsp. a spoon.

Pound the avocado into a pulp, add the yolk, juice and argan oil. Apply this composition to the entire length of the hair (it is possible on the scalp if it is dry or overdried), then wait 3 hours and rinse with warm (not hot) water. The effect of this mask lasts ten days. As a result, the hair becomes obedient, soft and shiny.

To properly wash off any oil-based mask, you need to remember some nuances:

• the water should be warm - since in cold water the hair scales close, preventing easy washing off of fatty acids;
• Shampoo your hair several times. Especially if the hair is oily at the roots, but dry at the ends. In this case, deep cleaning products are best suited.

Girls, as a rule, speak of a lasting effect. For example, most emphasize that after the first use of oil, the hair becomes well-groomed and soft to the touch. With frequent use, a slight effect of hair straightening is observed. Some women note that with curly strands, oil helps to remove fluffiness and static effect.

Sometimes customers also note the opposite: with prolonged use, the hair gets used to the product and the effect on the hair is invisible.

Others use oil for masks, but note that the effect of such an elixir remains on the curls until the next shampooing.

However, in order to find out if argan oil is right for you, you need to apply it on your hair.
