1 Place a few drops of argan oil in the palm of your hand and rub to warm the oil. To improve the appearance of hair, it is enough to use 2 to 5 drops of argan oil. Too much oil will weigh down the hair.

• Rub the oil over your palms. The oil warms up and absorbs better into the hair.

2 Apply oil to clean, damp hair. Once the oil is warm, distribute it through your hair. If the hair is long, rub in the oil from the ends, moving towards the roots. The shampoo washes away natural fats from the hair, the deficiency of which is replenished by argan oil. As a result, the hair will become shiny and smooth.

• Argan oil makes it easier to style curly or frizzy hair.
• A small amount of argan oil helps to add volume and emphasize the natural wave of curly hair.

Our expert recommends: If you apply argan oil to damp curly hair, it will become more manageable. Argan oil applied to completely dry hair helps to style loose strands and give hair a shine.

3 Rub the oil into dry scalp. If your scalp needs extra hydration, rub in the argan oil in a circular motion. During the massage, argan oil penetrates deep into the scalp, helping to get rid of dandruff and itching.

• Sometimes significant improvement occurs after applying the oil for several weeks or months.
• If you have very oily scalp, apply the oil 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the roots so that your hair does not look too oily.

4 For silky smooth hair, apply argan oil 2-3 times a week. As a rule, after applying the oil, the hair remains shiny for 2-3 days. Argan oil is highly concentrated, which allows it to penetrate deep into the hair structure, making it soft and manageable.

• If you have dry, brittle hair, it may need more oil. In this case, argan oil can be applied to the hair daily.

Method 2 of 2: Argan Oil Hair Masks

1. 1 6 to 8 drops of argan oil is enough to soak hair from roots to ends. Argan oil can be used as a deep care product that moisturizes and repairs hair. Oil for this will require a little more, namely from 6 to 8 drops for hair of any type. If you have very long or badly damaged hair, you can add a few more drops.
   • For short-cropped hair, 2–4 drops of oil are enough.
   • To care for long, thick hair, you need 10 or more drops of oil.
   • If the ends of your hair are severely split, apply more oil to the ends.
   • Use a comb to distribute the oil evenly through your hair. Brushing helps to saturate all strands with oil equally.
2. 2 To keep warm, wear a shower cap. After applying the oil to your hair, put a shower cap over your head so that it covers your hair completely. The cap retains heat, which activates the oil and helps it penetrate deep into the hair structure, from the ends to the follicles.
   • A shower cap will keep your clothes and furniture free from oil stains.
   • Instead of a shower cap, you can wear a hair dryer cap.
3. 3 For best results, apply the oil mask overnight. To get the most out of an oil mask, apply the oil before bed, put on a cap and go to bed, and rinse off the oil in the shower in the morning.The minimum time required for the mask to work is 30 minutes.
   • The longer the oil stays on the hair, the better the result.
4. 4 Wash your hair shampoo and conditioner balm. When you decide it's time to rinse off the oil, shower with a little shampoo to help remove excess oil. Lather hair from roots to ends, then rinse off lather, apply conditioner and rinse hair again.
   • For more intense hydration, the conditioner balm can be left on the hair for 3-5 minutes and then rinsed off in the shower.
   • If your hair is very thin, you can skip using a conditioner balm after an oil mask and shampoo.
5. 5 Repeat the procedure weekly or as needed. Argan oil hair mask can be applied as soon as you feel that your hair needs additional nutrition. The best results are obtained by regular application of masks 2-4 times a month (depending on your hair type and condition).
   • When used regularly, argan oil strengthens hair, makes it softer and stimulates new hair growth.

Tips

• If you frequently use hot hair dryers or irons, argan oil can help keep your hair healthy.
• After shampooing, add 3-5 drops of argan oil to the rinse to further moisturize your hair.
• Argan oil is found in many beauty products, from shampoos and mousses to moisturizers.

Warnings

• Too much argan oil applied to hair will make it greasy and sticky. Start with a few drops of oil and add another drop or two as needed.
