Prof. Graham Pierce, Ph.D.While argan oil won't magically grow new hair, it can improve hair health. It strengthens hair to avoid breakage and split ends. I have used it for years to keep my long hair. It makes your hair appear thicker and fuller due to increased resistance and less damage.
Shaft Protection
- Oleic acid penetrates hair cortex for structural reinforcement
- Seals split ends to prevent further unraveling
- Creates protective coating against heat styling damage
Scalp Nourishment
- Anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated follicles
- Balances sebum production to prevent clogged pores
- Promotes healthier environment for existing hair
Breakage Prevention
- Improves elasticity to withstand daily manipulation
- Reduces friction-related damage during brushing
- Maintains protein bonds within hair structure
I massage warm argan oil into my scalp and the ends of my hair weekly and see visible results in reduced hair shedding within eight weeks. Use it before bed to enjoy maximum absorption. Your hair achieves consistent shine and strength with these treatment principles at night.
Opt for pure cold-pressed argan oil that is golden in color. Avoid products containing silicones or mineral oils. I store mine out of the sun to preserve nutrients. Your hair is happy with high-quality, unadulterated, pure oil, featuring the nutty aroma of real nuts.
Have realistic expectations. It takes 4-8 weeks of consistent use to see meaningful changes. My hair strengthened significantly by the second month. Take photos once a month to track your progress. You will notice the breaking is less before you see more density.
Infuse your hair care routine with argan oil. Only apply wide-toothed combs to wet hair. Try to abstain from high-heat styling tools too often. I prefer to air-dry my hair whenever possible. Your hair will benefit from these comprehensive steps.
