As someone with bleached, curly hair, let me tell you: Finding the right products and ingredients to fight frizz, soothe split ends, and overall make your hair not look like an electrified bale of hay is a hard task. If you’ve been using your hydrating masks and moisturizing shampoos, and still not seeing much of a difference, hair oils are always a good call. But more specifically, argan oil could be the thing that changes your entire routine. Curly, straight, fine, frizzy, 4C to 1A—no matter your hair type or texture, it could benefit from using argan oil in your routine.
What is argan oil?
Originally used in an ancient Moroccan beauty traditions, it’s become an important ingredient in beauty and hair routines because of its ability to do it all: hydrate, smooth, add shine, and soften. Argan oil, which is harvested from argan seed kernels, is filled with super-nurturers like essential fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants.

Two: it doesn’t leave a greasy residue, as some may expect with an oil. I also like to cocktail it with my leave in conditioner also on wet hair for a little extra hydration.”
How should I use argan oil?
Justine Marjan, celebrity hairstylist who shapes the tresses of Chrissy Teigen, Ashley Graham, and Laura Harrier, who is also obsessed with the oil. “There are many ways to use argan oil in your hair,” Marjan says. “It’s amazing as a hair and scalp treatment before washing. You can also work a small amount of it into damp hair before blow drying as a leave-in treatment, or smooth a little through ends on dry hair for shine and hydration.”
