There has been a massive upsurge in the popularity of oil hair treatments in the past year or so. Argan Oil or hot oil treatments have been the hair products many have been reaching to when their hair is in need of some tender loving care.

What is argan oil?

Argan oil, as indicated by the brand name, is one of the most popular brands of oils for hair which originates from Morocco. The actual oil is extracted from the kernels of the tree of the same name. The Argan tree from which the oil is extracted from is found solely in the south west of Morocco. Reports have said that many Moroccans themselves have never heard of it. The Argan tree is perfectly adapted to grow and thrive in dry harsh and unforgiving climates and require no cultivation whatsoever. Perhaps due to surviving in such conditions Argan oil is great for introducing moisture into dry brittle parched hair. It can be used on wet or dry hair as a styling product or finishing oil.

All argan oil sold in the world is part of a cooperative which supports women and a percentage of all the profits made in the sale of argan oil goes back to benefit those women which help and work to provide it. It does seem quite a magical product, from its exotic roots to the many wondrous uses it can be put toward. Many people have questioned whether or not it is a miracle product.

Argan oil is one of the most exclusive and rarest oils to produce due to the uniqueness of the singular location it is grown and harvested.

One such species who does take an active interest in the Argan tree is goats, who clamber along it's knarled and twisted trunk to graze in the leaves and fruits despites its thorny outer. The Argan fruit, which the goats feed on, looks not dissimilar to a slightly larger olive with a shiny green soft exterior within which is often multiple nuts or the kernels from where the sought after oil is extracted.

The oil can be used in the production of food. It is used in special pastes, drizzled over salads and used in place of the more recognised olive oil to dip bread in. As I mentioned previously in this article it now has primarily been taken over by the cosmetics industry. It has hugely moisturising natural properties, such as vitamin E and phenolic acid.
