Is argan oil as good as they say?

I am about to buy some argan Oil for my hair. I am looking to get stronger, thicker and shiny hair. Has anyone tried argan oil and got these results? Would love some feedback before I purchased it.

Yes indeed

Love it! I use it daily and my hair hasn't been this healthy and shiny ever. A little goes a long way and it protects your hair from the dryer and iron treatment.

Re: Is argan oil as good as they say?

YES! Argan oil is great for ANYBODY (even those with oily or acne prone skin--I've met many people who say that it's actually helped heal some of their acne). I have dry/combo skin and anytime I've uses thicker creams, it's made me break out. However, I *love* to mix a couple drops with my night moisturizer for that extra kick of hydration without clogging my pores. It's very lightweight and can be used for anything like your skin, hair, nails, etc. 

Without a doubt, Josie Maran Argan oil is some of the best quality. Do be careful with buying cheaper alternatives becuase they aren't as potent and they fil them with other icky things. If you're going to get a sample, go to a Sephora (or a JCPenney with a Sephora in it) and ask for a sample of the Josie Maran argan oil.

If you have a Beauty Insider card at Sephora (and over 100 points), many of the stores (and online) have been offering a REALLY good size bottle of argan oil as a 100-point perk (I definitely stocked up because I have a ton of points). So if you're going to shop at Sephora any time soon, keep an eye out for it!

Ethnic Hair

Yes. And it is being added to many products made for people with curly, kinky, frizzy hair. With hair like this the oil can be added in larger quantities than that of straight, fine, or lifeless hair.

I like Argan oil, but you really have to read the bottle carefully. Most Argan Oil products are actually silicone based with a bit of Argan oil in them. I think they work just fine, but if you want pure Argan Oil, it will work better. It will also be much more expensive. Just be sure you are not paying a high price for a silicone oil.

I find that if I apply too much to my hair when it's dry it looks weighed down and straggly. What I find works wonders for me is to soak my hair in argan oil for about 20 min or more then rinse it out prior to shampooing. Makes my hair so nice and soft.

brilliant product!

It really is miracle oil for hair! It protects it while giving it a shine, and it smells good too! I have wild, frizzy hair that easily breaks but I defintely know the change in my hair since I started using this, I is less frizz prone, feels silky and is stronger!

Curly haired people rejoice!

Love Argan Oil. My fine curly hair has never been so easy to manage,so soft and hydrated.Even frizzy ness at bay in hot humid Florida. Wonderful for cuticles and as a face and hand mosturizer. Keep it all over my house and even carry a small dropper of Josie Maran's in my tote.

How can I use agran oil on straight har?

I have long, straight hair and I recently received a samble of the Josie Argan Oil with a Sephora purchase. I applied a small amount thoughout my hair before blow drying, hoping it would help with my flyaways, but it seemed to weigh my hair down and make it a little oily. Does anyone know of another technique that would help us straight-haired gals?

Argan oil is liquid gold in a bottle!  You can use it for your hair (of course) but you can also use it on any dry skin, lips, face, etc.  I always recommend picking up Josie Maran's Argan Oil because it is cold pressed for the highest efficacy.  You can find Josie's Argan Oil at Sephora and QVC.

try a sample

You should try a sample bottle first to see if you like it.  I bought a sample size of Argan oil at Ulta for $3 (made by Organix)  I'm not sure if I notice a difference but it helps when my hair is dry and flyaway.  If you search on Amazon.com, they sell 100% pure Argan oil for reasonable prices from different brands besides Josie Maran.  Josie Maran is on the pricey side, see which one you like.
