5 years back, my hairstylist ask if I use hair oil especially since I perm my hair every once a year and constantly dyed my hair. He introduced Argan oil. I was thinking "ok is this some salon gimmick to

ask me to spend more money?" Hahaha I bought it anyway and to my amazement, it's effect is almost immediate! And you guess it I started researching on why and what is this Argan Oil.

Argan Oil is grown and produced mainly from the southwestern part of Morocco. The argan nuts are harvested from its tree, Argania Spinosa, and are left to dry. Once dried, the flesh of the nut is taken out and goes into a grinding process until it becomes a runny paste. The paste is then squeeze by hand to extract the oil out. Due to the long tidious extraction process, Argan Oil is then named Liquid Gold of Morocco.

The compounds found in argan oil lives up to its name Liquid Gold too.
