Heat and humidity can spell chaos for people with curly hair and harsh winter weather has a disastrous effect on those whose hair is already dry and brittle to begin with. But those supermodels aren't born with perfect hair and now you can share in their secret.
- Tame Flyaways - Moroccan Argan Oil is derived from the nuts of Argania spinosa, a tree only grown in Morocco, and it's rich in Vitamin E, fatty acids and antioxidants. When applied directly to the hair and scalp it's nutrients help tame fly-aways and frizzies and return moisture and shine to otherwise dull, damaged hair.
- Repair Damaged Hair - Moroccan argan oil works by penetrating deep into the hair's shaft where it works to repair damage cause by weather and all of those harsh chemicals you've been using. Argan will even repair hair that's been damaged by coloring, perming, and other chemical processes.
It's no longer necessary to spend hundreds of dollars on hair care products that don't work anyway, or hours in front of your mirror with dryers and straightening irons and other instruments of torture. Now all you need is a simple application of Argan Morrocco Oil and you, too, can have hair like a supermodel.
Of course, Argan oil does more than just tame flyaway and damaged hair. Argan oil is an amazing moisturizer which keeps the skin of native Moroccan Berber women youthful even into middle age.
The properties of argan oil have been shown to be good for acne, eczema, as well as stretch marks and other scars. The saponins present naturally in the oil help to reinvigorate skin tissue, adding elasticity.
Argan oil is also a food (derived from nuts, as it is) and it's excellent for cooking with. Argan oil is a very nutritious oil, with 80% unsaturated fats, a good quantity of essential fatty acids, and of course vitamin E. A paste of ground argan nuts is often used in Moroccan cooking as a side dish, or as a spread for bread (much like peanut butter).
Argan oil is one of the best new products to come on the market recently. Of course, it's hardly "new" in the traditional sense, as it's been used for hundreds of years in Morocco.
I have found that argan oil is priced excellently for cosmetic uses, simply because you need such a small amount for moisturizing and for applying to your hair (just a few drops).
Argan oil is more expensive if you use it for cooking, however, as generally cooking requires more oil. Although, it is possible to find food grade argan oil for a reasonable price online.
Remember, it can take hours and hours of manual labor to extract the oil from the nuts (which is generally done traditionally by hand and is very labor intensive). For this reason, while I recommend it for cooking, price wise it's more expensive than many other oils. |
