Dry Hair? Try Leave-In Conditioner Products

Dry hair is difficult to manage and normal conditioning doesn’t provide enough moisture to tame flyaway and frizzy hair. The solution to shiny, healthy hair is to finding the ultimate leave-in conditioner product containing argan oil.

What Is Argan Oil?

Argan oil is derived from the kernels of the argan tree found in Morocco. It has been used for generations by people all over the world as a dietary supplement, for wound healing, and to nourish hair and skin.

The fruit of the argan tree is small and oval with a thick peel covering its fleshy pulp. In the center is a hard-shelled nut that contains one to three oil-rich argan kernels. Extracting the oil from the nut is a labor-intensive process. Women hand crack the nut between two stones. Once the nut is open, the raw kernels are extracted and hand-ground in a stone grinder. They are then hand-kneaded for several hours and finally cold pressed into oil.

It takes a single woman 3 days to make a liter of argan oil, which is why the oil is often described as “liquid gold.” Argan oil has become so widely used that Morocco plans to increase their annual production from 2,500 to 4,000 metric tons.

Attempts to mechanize the process have been unsuccessful, so argan oil is still extracted manually as it has been for centuries. It takes a lot of work to create argan oil leave-in conditioner, but the benefits are worth it.

Benefits of Argan Oil for Hair

Chemical treatments, dyes, blow dryers, and hot irons damage the hair, often leaving your hair thin, brittle, and unattractive. Argan oil rejuvenates your hair and protects the follicle beds. It helps fight dandruff when applied to the scalp, and it promotes the growth of strong, healthy hair. It will even undo some of the damage inflicted upon your hair from treatments, irons, UV rays, and chlorine.

Argan oil is non-irritating and when used on the hair it tames the frizz, controls fly-aways, and brings out its natural shine, making your hair more manageable and noticeably softer.

This oil is not greasy, which makes it the perfect oil for leave-in conditioner products. Research has indicated that argan oil is not just good for managing hair strands but even promotes hair growth when applied to your scalp.

If you want deep conditioning, place a shower cap over your hair after applying argan oil conditioner. The body heat generated inside the shower cap helps the oil to penetrate deep into the hair. In the morning, you can rinse your hair or you can just style your hair and head out without rinsing. If you have dandruff, an overnight treatment, administered twice a week for a couple of weeks, will solve your dandruff problem. Follow-up with weekly treatments or on an as-needed basis.

Benefits of Argan Oil for Skin and Scalp

Moroccans use the unroasted argan oil for the treatment of skin diseases, such as acne and dermatitis, because it reduces the severity of the rash and soothes the skin. It also protects against harmful UV rays and protects the nail bed against bacterial infections.

What makes the oil such a powerful protectant is that its rich vitamin A and vitamin E content, as well as its antioxidants, linoleic acid, and Omega-6 fatty acids. Research has shown that when applied to the skin, it eases inflammation as it soothes and moisturizes the skin. Argan oil promotes healthy skin and hair by boosting cell production, which is why it is an often-used ingredient in high-end cosmetics. Because it produces such great results for the skin and scalp, this oil has become extremely popular today.

Benefits of Ingesting Argan Oil

The benefits of argan oil are not unique to hair and skin. All throughout the world, pure argan oil has been used for culinary purposes. It accompanies grilled entrees and is drizzled on salad and made into a paste with almond and honey to spread onto bread.

Research suggests that there are numerous health benefits when argan oil is consumed. However, to reap these benefits, the oil must be manufactured in a traditional way. Some of these benefits include:

• Reduces joint and rheumatism pain
• Increases pepsin facilitating digestion
• Stabilizes blood sugar
• Stimulates the nervous system
• Acts as a powerful antioxidant
• Reduces inflammation

Using Argan Oil Leave-In Conditioner Products

Most traditional conditioners that you rinse out in the shower do not provide enough moisture to manage frizzy hair. Many conditioners promise to soften, shine, and easily tame frizzy hair. Most attempt to manage hair by weighing it down with moisturizers that leave your hair stringy, clumpy, or greasy. It is always a guessing game as to whether these products will deliver on their promise.

Rather than leave your hair health to chance, skip the rinse-out conditioners altogether. After the shower, towel dry your hair thoroughly and, while your hair is still damp, apply the leave-in conditioner, making sure to work the conditioner through the scalp to the ends of your hair. When you use the correct amount, it easily is absorbed into your hair, and it leaves no greasy residue behind — and it is amazingly effective at softening, shining, healing, and moisturizing your hair. Leave-in conditioner products, like argan oil leave-in conditioner, are easy to use, and they will not only save you time but also give you fabulous results.
