Argan Oil for Hair: Why It’s Called Liquid Gold

Argan oil has been called “liquid gold” for centuries, and in the world of haircare, it absolutely lives up to the name. Packed with fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin E, argan oil is one of the most nourishing natural ingredients for shiny, healthy hair. But why does it work so well, and how can you use it to get the best results?

In this blog, we’ll cover what argan oil actually is, the benefits it brings to hair and scalp, how to use it in your routine, and the most common questions people ask about it.

What is Argan Oil?

Argan oil is pressed from the kernels of the argan tree, which grows almost exclusively in Morocco. For generations it has been used in food, skincare, and haircare. The high levels of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and vitamin E make it both protective and restorative.

Benefits of Argan Oil for Hair

Adds shine without grease
Argan oil smooths the hair cuticle, giving strands a glossy, reflective shine without making them look oily.

Tames frizz and flyaways
Because it lightly coats the hair shaft, argan oil reduces static and friction, the two main culprits behind frizz.

Protects against heat and environmental stress
The antioxidants in argan oil help defend against UV rays and pollution. Applied before styling, it forms a natural barrier that reduces heat damage.

Soothes the scalp
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, argan oil can calm scalp irritation and dryness, creating a healthier environment for growth.

Strengthens over time
The fatty acids in argan oil reinforce the hair shaft, helping reduce breakage and split ends with regular use.
