Argan Oil For Hair Growth

In the constant battle against hair loss and promoting new growth, we now have a new remedy to add to our arsenal. A little known oil called Argan oil has made its way to the mainstream as an effective treatment for hair growth, and generally for improving our hair. Derived from the kernels of the Argan tree (an endangered species native to Morocco); argan oil is known for its many medicinal and cosmetic applications.

Rich in Omega 3 and Omega 9 fatty acids, Argan oil effectively penetrates the hair shaft. This ability to penetrate and deliver the nutrients directly to the hair helps to repair damaged follicles and promote hair growth. Argan oil also has a high concentration of Vitamin E; a common ingredient popular in many skin care products due to its antioxidant properties. Vitamin E increases the cells ability to absorb oxygen. More oxygen means better circulation in the scalp which allows for more nutrients to penetrate the hair follicles.

Argan oil is non greasy and lightweight. It locks moisture into the hair while acting as a shield against harmful UV rays and environmental pollution. This helps to keep hair clean and healthy as well as smooth and shiny.

Due to the scarcity of Argan trees, this oil is a bit more pricy than most essential oils. It is, however, one of the most effective oils to help promote hair growth with its dynamic duo of omega fatty acids and vitamin E. The best method for applying argan oil is to massage it gently into the scalp. The massage not only distributes the oil to the hair and underlying skin, it also helps to exfoliate the scalp by removing dead skin cells that may clog the pores. Additionally, the massage breaks up excess sebum which may be crusted at the base of the hair. Sebum is our bodies natural conditioner, but too much of it can clog the pores and inhibit the growth of new hair. After the massage, the hair should be wrapped in a hot, damp towel after which the hair can be shampooed and conditioned as usual.

Most causes for hair loss are genetic and incurable, however if managed properly, the loss can be minimized if not reversed in some cases. A nutrient rich diet, sufficient hydration and moderate exercise will go a long way in increasing the health of your hair. Argan oil in combination with a healthy lifestyle will help you gain long strides in your fight against baldness

Argan oil is fantastic for your hair. It’s always handy to have a bottle available. You can buy Argan oil online on Amazon. I personally recommend this bottle of Slice Of Nature Argan Oil.

Alternatively, you can use an Argan oil enriched shampoo to reap the fantastic benefits without having to add another step to your hair care regime. Simply replace your regular shampoo with this bottle of Agadir Moisturizing Argan Oil Shampoo.
