Argan oil for hair has multiple benefits. Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamin E and antioxidants, argan oil is a hair treatment with proven results.
With excellent conditioning properties, argan oil delivers softer, shinier, healthier hair. Plus, it’s great for promoting a healthy scalp.
In this blog, I’ll share the benefits of argan oil for hair and share with you why I put this multi-tasking ingredient at the heart of my hair styling products.
Argan oil is an effective hair protector, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to be careful. When styling hair, always choose a cooler setting on the hairdryer, taking care not to over-dry the hair.
Argan oil is held in a bubble of Keratin in my exclusive hair styling products. When the tiny keratin bubbles land on your hair, they release the argan oil. The combination of keratin and argan oil seals split ends, leaving your hair with a smooth, silky finish. Plus, it adds moisture and shine, helping repair damage and preventing frizz. Keratin, with it’s strengthening properties is the perfect partner to argan oil.
Packed with fatty acids, argan oil is effective for detangling hair. It’s effective on thick, coarse or curly hair.
After washing and conditioning your hair, use a good quality detangler containing argan oil to get it prepped for styling.
Hair becomes frizzy when it’s dry. If you find your hair becomes more prone to frizz in the rain or humid environments, there’s a reason. In a humid atmosphere, dry hair soaks up the moisture. As a result, it exacerbates the frizz.
The solution to frizzy hair is prevention.
Argan oil is rich in fatty acids, and one of those fatty acids in particular (oleic acid) helps reduce the water loss in hair. By reducing water loss in your hair, you can prevent frizz.
One of the many nutrients in argan oil, another fatty acid, is linoleic acid. Linoleic acid moisturises the scalp and helps to maintain scalp health.
I believe in giving the scalp a lot of love to promote hair growth. Having worked with many different styling products over the years in my salon, I found that regular use of some styling products could be drying for the scalp.
That’s why I set myself the challenge of developing a formulation that would moisturise the scalp.
The argan oil in my styling range helps prevent dry scalp whilst keeping the hair looking and feeling healthy.
Many environmental factors can cause hair breakage, from sun and wind to excessive heated styling or simply not being gentle enough with the hair. Split ends can be frustrating, and the only way to get rid of them permanently is to get a trim.
Getting regular trims is an essential part of maintaining a healthy head of hair. However, you may find that the ends are splitting further up the hair to the mid-lengths.
Argan oil to the rescue!
Argan oil won’t fix this damage permanently, but it will nourish your hair. With a routine of hair trimming and regular treatments, you can get on top of split ends and achieve a silky-smooth finish when you style your hair.
The combined benefits of argan oil and keratin in my styling range smooth the hair and temporarily seal split ends.
Argan oil adds moisture to the hair and smooths the cuticle. It naturally strengthens hair.
When your hair has moisture, it’s more flexible and stretchy, making it less prone to breakage.
There are some tell-tale signs that hair has lost strength. Maybe your hair feels difficult to style. Or maybe, it has a rough texture and has lost its shine.
Treating your hair to products containing argan oil can help.
Having worked in the hairdressing industry for many years, I understand we do things that will leave the hair dry.
For example, the hair dryer is an essential styling tool for many of us but it depletes moisture in the hair. By using moisture-boosting styling products you can proactively introduce moisture when hair needs it most.

Whether I’m working with hair, writing about hair or developing hair care products I stay true to 3 principles.
This is a principle I have adhered to all my hairdressing career and it gets the best results. I like to minimise the heat stress to hair from heated styling tools and take a simpler approach to styling. Over working the hair can leave it dry, damaged and flat. A simple approach is the best way to add volume to hair and keep hair looking and feeling smooth and shiny.
Moisture is the foundation of good hair care. Hair needs a routine of deep conditioning to stay frizz free and retain flexibility and strength. When it has moisture, hair elasticity is maintained, making hair easier to style.
Holistic in the context of hair care is about making sure we eat a healthy, balanced diet and that we feed our hair with nourishing products. Maintaining hydration in the body contributes to good quality hair growth. Using nourishing hair products ensures our hair can retain moisture.
You’ll see these principles threaded through my blogs. My goal is to share the simplest tools and techniques to give you easy ways to care for and style your hair at home.
