Argan oil, often referred to as “liquid gold,” comes from the Moroccan argan tree and has long been used to soften, soothe and moisturize skin and hair. That’s one reason why it’s a popular ingredient in shampoos, along with the fact that it contains beneficial nutrients such as Vitamin E and fatty acids. Read on to learn more about the many reasons for adding argan oil to shampoo and how it can benefit you.

Argan oil offers both short-term and long-term benefits. Immediate effects include helping control frizz and making hair more manageable, as well as adding shine. Long-term, the regular use of argan oil can help enhance hair’s appearance and improve its overall texture and health. It’s also a powerful moisturizer that nourishes your scalp and hair to prevent dry scalp and dandruff. Argan oil is so potent that it’s even used to promote hair growth, thanks to the antioxidants in the Vitamin E.

Another major advantage of argan oil is that it won’t irritate your scalp the way the chemicals and synthetic ingredients in other types of shampoo can. In fact, it can help remedy damage done to hair by chemicals, synthetic ingredients and hair treatments that can dry out hair and leave it dull, brittle and lifeless. It’s frequently used to repair hair that’s been damaged by chemical treatments such as perms and dyes, in addition to repairing split ends.

While you can use argan oil directly on your hair in its pure form, you can also add it to your shampoo or buy shampoo that contains it as an ingredient. The benefit of adding it to shampoo or buying a shampoo with argan oil already included is that you don’t have to change your hair care routine. Simply shampoo your hair as you normally do and let the argan oil work its magic.
