The Benefits & Uses of Argan Oil for Hair

Why Should you Use Argan Oil in your Haircare Routine?

Argan oil has long been a haircare favourite for helping dry, dull and frizz-prone hair look smoother, softer and shinier. Whether you're looking to tame frizz, add shine or make your hair feel more manageable, it's an easy addition to your everyday haircare routine.

At Beauty Works, our Argan Oil Collection brings these smoothing and nourishing benefits into your everyday routine, with our bestselling Argan Oil Serum, now formulated with Argalyx5™, alongside the lightweight Argan Oil Light mist.

From locking in moisture to controlling frizz, discover what argan oil can do for your hair and which Beauty Works formula is right for you.

What Does Argan Oil Do for Your Hair?

Argan oil can help nourish and condition the hair, making dry or damaged-looking lengths feel softer, smoother and easier to manage.

Beauty Works Argan Oil combines these benefits with Argalyx5™ - a blend of five nourishing plant oils rich in fatty acids: chia seed oil, linseed oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil and borage seed oil. Together, they help replenish the hair's protective layer and improve the softness, smoothness and manageability of dry or damaged-looking hair.

What Are the Benefits of Argan Oil for Hair?

There are plenty of reasons to add an argan oil treatment to your haircare routine, particularly if your hair is prone to dryness, frizz or dullness.

Helps smooth frizz
Smoothing the hair surface can help reduce roughness and frizz, leaving lengths looking more polished.

Locks in moisture
Argan oil hair treatments can help prevent moisture loss, keeping hair feeling nourished and conditioned.

Makes hair feel softer
By helping improve flexibility, hair can feel softer and more supple rather than stiff or brittle.

Enhances shine
A smoother hair surface reflects light more effectively, helping create a healthier-looking, glossy finish.

Helps manage humidity
The right argan oil formula can also help keep hair smoother and more manageable in humid conditions.

What's New About Beauty Works Argan Oil Serum?

Our bestselling Argan Oil Serum has been updated with Argalyx5™, a nourishing blend of five plant oils.

The formula smooths the hair cuticle to help control frizz, reduce the appearance of split ends and enhance shine. Enriched with antioxidant Vitamin E, it also helps lock in moisture and protect against humidity and everyday environmental stressors.

This leaves hair feeling softer, smoother and more manageable, with a healthy-looking shine.

What Is Argan Oil Light?

If you love the smoothing benefits of our Argan Oil Serum but prefer something more lightweight, meet Beauty Works Argan Oil Light.

Inspired by our bestselling serum, Argan Oil Light delivers effortless smoothing through an ultra-fine mist. The lightweight formula helps soften hair, control frizz and enhance shine without weighing it down.

It's fast-drying and weightless, helping reduce tangling and friction while maintaining the hair's natural movement. It also provides thermal protection, making it an easy addition to your styling routine.

Should I Use Argan Oil Serum or Argan Oil Light?

It depends on your hair and how you like to apply your products.

Choose Argan Oil Serum if you want a traditional serum that helps smooth, nourish and condition the hair while controlling frizz and adding shine.

Choose Argan Oil Light if you prefer a lightweight mist that distributes evenly through the hair without heaviness or greasy residue. It's particularly useful when you want effortless smoothing while keeping plenty of natural movement.

Both are designed to leave hair looking smoother, shinier and more manageable - it's simply about finding the formula that works best for your routine.

How Do You Use Argan Oil on Hair?

For the Argan Oil Serum, start with a small amount and smooth it through the mid-lengths and ends, focusing on areas that feel dry or prone to frizz. It can be incorporated into your routine whenever your hair needs an extra boost of smoothness and shine.

For Argan Oil Light, mist evenly through the hair for lightweight coverage. Its ultra-fine spray makes it easy to distribute the product without overloading individual sections.

As with any hair oil or serum, start with less and build up if your hair needs more.

Is Argan Oil Good for Hair Extensions?

Argan oil can be a useful addition to an extension aftercare routine, particularly for keeping the mid-lengths and ends feeling soft, smooth and manageable.

Because extensions don't receive the natural oils produced by your scalp in the same way as your own hair, keeping the lengths conditioned is particularly important.

When using an oil or serum on hair extensions, concentrate the product through the mid-lengths and ends rather than around bonds, tapes or other attachment areas.

Can You Use Argan Oil on Dry Hair?

Yes. An argan oil treatment can be used as a finishing step on dry hair to help smooth flyaways, control frizz and add shine.

Use a small amount through the lengths and ends after styling, adding more only where needed. This is particularly useful for refreshing hair between washes or giving your finished style a smoother, glossier appearance.
