Argan oil, help please

[soverign21]

Hi
I have seen mention of argan oil a fair bit along the lines of it being for your hair
Can someone explain it to me please?

Do i just buy the oil and put it on my hair? wet or dry? or am i supposed to buy something with this as an ingredient?

TIA

anyone please?

We use live clean products here, and they do a restorative shampoo and conditioner with argan oil. It is called exotic nectar
It is amazing! Super shiney and much less breakage. (Plus no parabens)

I use argan oil. When I have washed my hair I towel dry it and then rub a few drops of oil in my palms, then smooth them through my hair. It then dries all lovely and curly!

I currently have this one.

I was on holiday in Morocco 4 or 5 years ago and went to a place where they produce Argan Oil. I can't remember specifics, but I know the little shop for tourist baiting selling their products was full of toiletries (soaps, lotions, etc) and foodstuffs (dips, infused-honey and other things with added Argan oil), both made from the oil, as well as things made from the wood of the trees...

So, based on that vague memory I would say you're looking for something with it as an ingredient, rather than the pure oil.

I use argan oil. 1 or 2 drops into my hands and rub the palms together then run through my wet/damp hair before blow drying. You can use it on dry hair too like a serum but I find I dont need to if I use it before blowdrying - and I have very dry ends.

Its fab stuff. A little goes a long way.

Brilliant, thanks ladies, am off to get some :)

i sort of want to try before i buy so had a look on ebay and found these which one would you go for THIS or THIS

TIA

I use the second one (Amargan) and I really like it.

I have just started using Kerastase Luxe Elixir which contains argan oil. Lovely product. Expensive but you use such a tiny amount. Use as either a pre-shampoo treatment or after towel drying.

I'd just buy the 30mls on Amazon for £11.87 at the moment. As they're doing a deal. Rather than the 10mls for £4.29. See here: www.amazon.co.uk/Amargan-Hair-Therapy-Oil-30ml/dp/B0035AKBP6/ref=sr_1_2?s=drugstore&ie=UTF8&qid=1303929120&sr=1-2

Seems awfully steep for only 10mls on that ebay link

Thanks for this thread, you have reminded me I wanted to buy some!

Just ordered this

I was going to get the Amargan one but I prefer the look of this bottle [cblush]

Hope it's the right stuff!

I think you can buy pure argan oil - this is the stuff that really works, rather than products that have it as an ingredient. It only comes from Morocco - my mum just went there and brought some back. Guess you should be able to gt it on internet :)

TH's one looks good value

I use pure Argan oil with a decent shampoo. Have given up on conditioner.

I would go for the pure stuff if you can.

Sold to Th :o
Have just ordered a bottle for myself, thanks and fingers crossed it works!

Oh I hope it's alright then! [cgrin]

Will find out soon! Had an email to say it was despatched today, can't wait!

Might sound silly but how often should i use it? and should i use it in place of my regular conditioner? do i wash it off or leave it on?

sorry for all the questions am a novice :)

My hairdresser uses it. A little (but apparently very expensive) bottle of the oil. He left it in my hair - which isnt particularly dry or anything - and it was lovely and shiny.

Should get mine soon too!

Lets come back next week when we've both tried it. Not sure about using it instead of conditioner tho, I guess it would be ok and you leave it on.

I use it every day Sov.

Only a tiny bit.

Not totally transforming on my hair but good.

My hairdresser gave me some Matrix Biolage Delicate Hair Oil to try - the main ingredients seem to be olive oil and argan oil. I've been using it instead of serum and am loving it so far - hair is manageable and glossy and I no longer need to straighten every day. Hurray!
