The use 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 follow them, you need natural ingredients, natural masks and oils. High-speed oil, which nourishes and restores the structure of the curls along the entire length, is a squeeze from the fruit of the argan tree. Its use is able to "revive" the dimmest and most lifeless hair. What is the body and why it is best to apply the oil of this tree, read below.

Argan oil for hair is a rare extract, which is not so easy to get. The fact is that the extraction of this “golden elixir” receives argan from the fruit of the tree, and it grows only in Morocco. The harsh climate, rare harvest and manual labor make this oil truly “golden”.

Did you know that when you receive 1000 ml of argan oil extract, you need to process a hundred kg of product?

Like a hundred years ago, a Berbese girl was hand-made to make butter. Entire valleys of trees are hand-crafted, since the use of automated systems is prohibited, and the groves themselves are under the protection of UNESCO.

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

After completing the collection of fruits, girls with large stones separate the bones from the pulp and squeeze out the core at the manual-type mills.

In order to squeeze out one liter of oil from the fruit, it takes several days.

After argan extract is obtained, the oil is packaged in bottles and allowed to infuse for a while. The product can be used after a few hours after processing in a manual 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 hair acquire radiance;
• omega-9 - improves oxygen metabolism inside the cells;
• stearic acid - accelerates growth;
• Vitamins A, E, F - eliminate fragility and saturate the inner layers of hair with moisture;
• natural antibiotics - prevent diseases of the skin of the head and fight against fungi, dandruff and seborrhea;

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

Application with these or other means may affect the curls in different ways. And for this, there are several ways of applying argan oil to 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 a compress for the whole night.

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