Argan oil is one of the most versatile oils in hair care, but the secret to the result is not only the oil itself, it is how you use it. What suits thick hair can weigh down fine hair, and what revives curls may not be needed on smooth hair. Here is how to adapt your use to your hair type.

Fine hair: a little goes a long way

Fine hair loses its life quickly if you use too much oil. The answer is real restraint.

  • Use only one or two drops, rubbing them between your palms first.
  • Apply to the ends only, keeping away from the scalp and roots.
  • Applying on damp hair gives a lighter, easier spread.

This way you get shine and softness without a greasy look.

Thick hair: deeper nourishment

Thick hair can take a more generous amount and benefits from the oil's ability to tame frizz and flyaways.

  • Use three to five drops from the mid-lengths down to the ends.
  • As a pre-wash treatment, leave it on for about half an hour.
  • It also works as a finishing touch after styling to control stray ends.

Curly hair: flexibility and definition

Curly hair tends to be dry by nature, and argan oil helps restore moisture and define strands without stiffness.

  • Apply on wet hair, then shape the curls gently with your fingers.
  • Focus on the ends, which are most prone to dryness and splitting.
  • You can mix a few drops into your styling cream for extra moisture.

Colour-treated hair: protection and colour care

Colouring stresses the hair and leaves it drier and more fragile. Argan oil helps bring back softness and reduce dullness.

  • Use it regularly on the ends to keep the hair supple.
  • Apply it as a protective layer before heat or sun exposure.
  • It gives coloured hair a healthy shine that brings out the depth of the colour.

General tips for everyone

  • Always start with a small amount and build up as needed.
  • Focus on the ends and avoid the roots if your hair gets oily fast.
  • Choose a pure oil with no additives for the best results.

The difference between an ordinary result and a great one often comes down to the purity and quality of the oil. As a Moroccan manufacturer specialising in authentic argan, Assil Ouargane supplies brands with high-quality argan oil to build hair care products under their own name.
