Benefits of argan oil for hair
Do you have dry, frizzy, and dull hair? Well, you can't live another minute without introducing argan oil into your life.
And the reason your hair looks like this is because of the damage it suffers daily: coloring, heat, and pollution cause the natural oil (sebum) present on the scalp is increasingly less and that the hair needs a supplement to keep it healthy and strong. And this supplement is none other than this essential oil, since due to its properties, it is super absorbent and your hair will fully quench its thirst when applied.

Argan oil for eyelashes and eyebrows
This essential oil is also great for beautify the eyebrows (especially if you have sparse and weak ones and want to add volume) and to strengthen and add volume to the eyelashes.
And how to apply oil on the eyelashes? Although it sounds complicated, it is super easy. You just have to put a few drops on a toothbrush (even better if you reuse the brush from a used mascara, just make sure it’s clean) and apply it directly on the eyelashes. Do it every night after removing makeup and before going to sleep, because this way the oil will absorb by itself without obstacles.
Give it your all and do it consistently. In two or three months your eyelashes will be so strong and thick that you can say goodbye to mascara.
