I have no idea, but it sure makes my hair softer.
Hi,
I know that coconut oil, avocado oil, and olive oil penetrate hair but does argan oil? A couple of websites says it does but they don't have any actual citations to prove it. Does anybody know of a study to prove it?
I love argan oil on my face but I dont want to spend that much to use it on my hair if it wont make much of a difference.
Thanks!
I have no idea, but it sure makes my hair softer.
I have two knowledgeable cosmetologists who told me it does.
I'd like to know the answer too. One thing I'm sure of is that it's the best oil for my hair that I've tried though (better than coconut and camellia).
I don't know but my hair loves it. It doesn't look greasy or sticky, just shiny and soft but not flattened or too soft.

I love mixing up my oils!
I'm fairly sure I read somewhere that olive oil penetrates the hair shaft as well? I think the same post listed how to check that but I can't find it >_<

although not an evidence based source, coconut oil is not the only oil to penetrate, the above is not my work and has been copied and pasted from site.

Argan oil is also a Straight chain glyceride oil, therefore it has similar properties to coconut oil, therefore suggesting it penetrates the hair shaft.
