Avoiding Hairy Situations: Argan Oil Leave in Hair Treatment

Nowadays, it is typical to see commercials to feature models with long, sleek, black hair. Their hair would be shiny and vibrant, with no flaws visible. This gives emphasis to the significance of the state of one's hair for one to be labeled attractive and worthy of attention. The hair, being the most important controllable aspect of the physical attractiveness, could be compared with any machine in that it requires proper maintenance and tuning to be on its optimal condition. The health of one's hair can be seen as a reflection of a person's overall state. It can give an insight into a person's age, their general attitude, and even their current moods. How the hair is styled could set how a person is perceived by the surrounding peers as well as be indicative of how they want to be treated. For example, some women would deliberately style their hair in order to make their partners take proper notice of them. Also, maintaining a tidy and healthy hair is considered a touchstone of class, even a sign of good upbringing and prestige, of good health, and for some, of considerable wealth as well. And thus, taking good care of one's hair has always been given due importance.
Leave in hair treatments of the past
Natural oils which include essential oils like tea tree oil or some other carrier oils such as jojoba oil had been the prominent leave in hair treatment in the past. Ancient Egyptians were reported to have been using a fat-based gel to stiffen their hair to ensure that their hairstyle stayed in place in both life and death. With the passage of time, the search for products for better hair management brought in hair serums. They are hair care solutions that make the hair shiny as well as helping in the prevention of tangles. They usually protect the hair from damages that could done by overexposure to the sun and the use of hair styling tools or products.
How the Argan oil is applied as leave on treatment
The Argan oil hair serum is also advised to be used after one has taken a bath. First, you should warm a few drops of serum in the palms of your hands and distribute evenly throughout clean, towel-dried hair, while concentrating on the ends. One must then comb through the hair and style it to one's own preference. Aside from the Argan oil serum, leaving pure Argan oil on the hair after it is washed and dried is also an alternative in making it easier to style one's hair. While leaving on the Argan oil on the hair overnight is usually suggested for rejuvenating hair so as to repair the damage done by hair coloring, straightening treatments, and use of hair care tools such as hair irons, dryers or curlers. It also often used to reduce any dryness in one's hair that could be caused by too much exposure to the heat of the sun. Usually, the oil is applied by first dividing the hair into sections then rubbing the oil from roots to tips one section at a time. After all sections are done, gently massaging some oil into the scalp is also advised. The oil can left for about one to three hours and then washed with a gentle shampoo but for really damaged and brittle hair, it can be left on overnight. One must simply cover the hair with a towel or plastic cap letting the oil stay on the hair while one is asleep.
The secret component that makes Argan oil good for the hair
Vitamin E, which had been discovered to be exceptionally abundant in Argan oil, is a great stimulant for growth of capillaries, the thin web-like network of the blood vessels that connects the veins and arteries and where the exchange of oxygen-rich blood and waste-rich blood takes place. When the capillaries are healthy and profuse, the blood circulation in the scalp will be enhanced which will therefore promote strong and healthy growth of hair. Vitamin E, which contains effective and potent antioxidants, promotes the good health of the body tissues. With body tissues strong and healthy, the aging process would slow down. This will then lead to a delay in the appearance of aging signs in the skin, like wrinkles, and in hair, like premature graying. Naturally healthy tissues are more likely to produce new hair will grow strong, soft and lustrous. Argan oil also contains carotenoids, precursor to vitamin A that can contribute in preventing hair loss.
Hair care is a serious business and any mishaps are to be avoided at all costs. No one really wants to remember their bad hair days, right? And I'm certain that no one wants to relive them. So make sure your hair stays healthy to avoid any hairy situations.
