Argan oil has gained a special place in the world of beauty, known as the “liquid gold” of Morocco, this oil is not only a luxurious ingredient, but it is also highly beneficial for the hair.
Whether you're looking to nourish, repair or simply improve the shine of your mane, argan oil is a must-have option in your hair routine, and here with Juliet Hair Studio we'll see why.
What is argan oil? A Moroccan treasure for beauty
Argan oil is extracted from the nuts of the argan tree, native to Morocco. Rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E, this oil is a natural remedy used for centuries to care for both skin and hair.
Its ability to deeply moisturize, protect and revitalize has made it a favorite among beauty experts and stylists.
The most important benefits of argan oil for the hair
One of the main attractions of argan oil is its ability to deeply nourish and effectively repair.
Thanks to its high concentration of vitamin E and fatty acids, the oil penetrates the hair, restoring softness and strength from root to tip. This is the secret behind many hair repair treatments.
Argan oil is also known for its ability to protect hair against frizz and split ends.
Acting as a shield against damage caused by heat and environmental factors, the oil helps to keep hair manageable, soft and shiny, even in the most adverse conditions.
Practical tips on how to use argan oil
Incorporating argan oil into your daily routine can significantly transform the health and appearance of your hair.
This versatile natural ingredient adapts to various hair needs, allowing you to customize its use according to the characteristics and condition of your hair. Here are some effective ways to maximize the benefits of argan oil.
Deep nourishment while you sleep
Night treatment with argan oil is one of the simplest and most effective methods to revitalize hair.
Applying a few drops of oil to the palms of your hands and distributing it evenly from scalp to ends before going to bed allows the hair to absorb all the nutrients overnight.
Steps to follow:
- Preparation: Make sure your hair is dry or slightly damp before applying the oil, as this facilitates better absorption.
- Application: Take a small amount of oil (depending on the length and thickness of your hair) and rub it between your hands. Start applying the oil from the ends and work your way up to the scalp, massaging gently.
- Protection: To prevent the oil from staining your pillow, you can cover your hair with a shower cap or soft towel.
-
Result: When you wake up, your hair will be noticeably softer, more manageable and with a healthy shine. This treatment is especially beneficial for those with dry or damaged hair, as it promotes the repair of hair fibers while you sleep.
Enhances the effectiveness of argan oil
Another popular way to take advantage of argan oil is by creating homemade masks that deeply nourish the hair.
These masks can be combined with other natural ingredients to address specific needs such as hydration, strength, or shine.

Daily shine and protection
Argan oil can also be used as a daily hair serum to keep hair moisturized, protected and with a spectacular shine.
It is especially useful for those who struggle with frizz or want to protect their hair from damage caused by heat tools.
Application
- After washing and towel drying your hair, apply a few drops of argan oil to the ends and lengths of your hair.
- If you have very fine or oily hair, avoid applying too close to the scalp to avoid adding weight.
- Style your hair as usual and enjoy frizz-free hair with a shiny finish.
Protective shield against damage
Before using heat tools such as straighteners, curling irons or blow dryers, you can apply a small amount of argan oil to your hair to protect it.
This oil creates a barrier that helps prevent damage and dryness caused by intense heat.
Steps to follow
- Apply 2 to 3 drops of argan oil to dry or damp hair, distributing evenly with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb.
- Use the heat tool of your choice, knowing that your hair is protected.

F&Q about whether argan oil is good for the hair
Is it safe to use argan oil on the scalp?
Yes, it is safe to use argan oil on the scalp. In fact, it can be very beneficial for those suffering from dry or irritated scalp. Argan oil moisturizes and nourishes the scalp, helping to reduce dryness and flaking. However, if you have an oily scalp, it is best to apply the oil sparingly and focus more on the ends and lengths of the hair.
Can argan oil help promote hair growth?
Although there is no conclusive scientific evidence that argan oil directly promotes hair growth, its moisturizing and nourishing properties may contribute to a healthier environment for hair growth. By improving scalp health and strengthening hair fibers, argan oil may help prevent hair breakage, which in the long term may give the appearance of faster hair growth.
Is it better to use pure argan oil or products containing argan oil?
Both pure argan oil and products containing argan oil have their benefits. Pure argan oil is more concentrated and can offer more immediate results in terms of hydration and repair. However, products containing argan oil, such as shampoos, conditioners and serums, are often formulated to provide additional benefits, such as thermal protection or ease of application. The choice depends on your specific needs and how you prefer to integrate argan oil into your hair care routine.
