Benefits
There is a reason that Argan oil is called ‘liquid gold’, and that’s because of the awesome qualities it has to naturally replenish skin and hair and help you feel rejuvenated too. Called Moroccan oil because of the Argan kernels nativity to Morocco, it is full of vitamins and good bacteria that are very beneficial to hair and skin.
Style it Out
Although it has multiple uses beyond simply styling your hair, this is in fact one of the best things you can use Argan oil for. It’s really great at taming frizz and keeping your wild hair down, so why not take it away on holiday with you if you’re visiting a hot place? We all know the frustration of a holiday in which you look like you’ve been on the receiving end of an electric shock, and that’s what heat can do to your luscious locks. If you get into the daily habit of using Argan oil, you can give your hair a continuously healthy shine throughout the year and make your hair look naturally beautiful.

Dry Skin
Although I really want to focus on hair here, dry skin on the scalp is a major worry for a lot of people. It’s more common than you think, and be that hair, eyebrows or facial hair, dry skin can make you feel paranoid and act uncomfortable, so using the natural components of Argan kernels to ease your worries is a great idea. Use it as a moisturizer to rub into your face, or massage your head with it to reduce flakes. If you keep on using it regularly, too, it should have a lovely, soothing effect if your dry skin causes you any itching. This again will help reduce flakes, because you will be scratching less and feel much better in the process.

Conditioning Your Hair
As mentioned above, to vitamins in Argan oil will help you keep your hair shiny naturally. The oil is packed full of vitamin E, which is vital in keeping your hair nourished and fresh and it encourages healthy hair growth and prevents split ends and thin, brittle hair. I would advise you to use Argan if you suffer from dry hair or dandruff as it will certainly improve the health of your head through it’s natural moisture. It also works as a perfect leave-in conditioner, which only improves with the length of time it is in your hair.
As you can see, there are plenty of excellent benefits to Argan oil that are merely for your hair. If you’re planning on buying some, you could also apply it to your skin and see the benefits there too. It’s quite the wonderful product and duly lives up to its name as ‘liquid gold’. It comes in a vast array of brands, too, so you will be able to find it for a decent price. If you’re looking, keep an eye out for the brand Moroccan Oil and Simply Argan for the best results.
