Argan Oil for Dry Hair: How to Use It

Dry hair is a condition, not a hair type. When the outer layer stops holding water, the strand turns rough, dull and brittle. Heat, sun, hard water and repeated colouring all speed this up. A plant oil does not add water to the hair: it stops the water already there from evaporating.

How to apply it

• Towel-dry after washing, until the hair is damp rather than wet.
• Warm a few drops between your palms.
• Work from mid-lengths to ends, leaving the roots alone.
• Comb through with a wide-tooth comb.
• Once or twice a week, massage into the scalp for two minutes before shampooing.

Amount is the usual mistake. Short hair needs three or four drops, long thick hair six or seven. More does not mean more moisture, only heavier hair that looks unwashed the next day. Give it three to four weeks of regular use before judging the result.
