Olive oil isn’t just for cooking — it’s great for your hair, too! Olive oil has been proven to give hair a healthy sheen, help to repair split ends, and reduce frizz.
To give your hair a conditioning treatment, massage about 2 tablespoons of olive oil into your hair and scalp. The amount you’ll use should vary depending on the length and thickness of your hair. And remember to massage it in well – the massaging feels really nice on your scalp, but is also important to the treatment, as massage stimulates helps promote a healthy scalp.
Next, take a warm, damp towel and wrap it around your head and treated hair (“turban” it). Leave it on for about 30-45 minutes. This allows the olive oil to work into your hair to have the full effect.

Finally, rinse out the olive oil with shampoo. This might take a few shampoo-ings (when I tried it, it took 2 rounds.) Give your hair further rest by allowing it to air dry, if you have the time. Then say hello to your luscious locks!

Now that all of the issues in regards to Argan oil claims as the secret to beauty and for general health have been explored its time to decide if the Argan oil benefits outweigh any skepticism you may have about it. Various studies have been conducted since Argan oils worldwide debut and it’s clear that Argan oil is one of nature’s natural health wonders.
If you are looking to acquire Argan oil, do your research and order from a trusted source. Since the recommendation of Oprah and others have caused such an interest in Argan Oil there have been many jumping on the Argan Oil bandwagon and pushing questionable products with only a small percentage of 100% pure Moroccan Argan Oil in their product.
Pure organic Argan oil isn’t cheap, so if you see cheap prices… there is a strong chance the product isn’t 100% pure organic – but mixed with a bunch of chemical additives.
In either event, ordering from a company that has experience and guaranteed products is a sure fire method of obtaining your little piece of ‘Liquid Gold’ via Argan Oil.
