The Benefits & Uses of Argan Oil for Hair

Why Should You Recommend Argan Oil to Your Clients?

Argan oil is a haircare essential for helping dry, dull and frizz-prone hair look smoother, softer and shinier. Whether your clients want to control frizz, add shine or keep their hair extensions looking their best, argan oil can be a valuable addition to their haircare routine.

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

From salon finishing touches to everyday client aftercare, discover the benefits of argan oil for hair and how to recommend the right formula for your clients.

What Does Argan Oil Do for Hair?

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

The Beauty Works Argan Oil Serum 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?

Understanding the benefits of argan oil can help you recommend the right aftercare products to your clients, particularly those experiencing dryness, frizz or dullness.

Helps smooth frizz

Smoothing the hair surface can help reduce roughness and frizz, leaving your clients' hair looking more polished.

Locks in moisture

Argan oil hair treatments can help prevent moisture loss, keeping hair feeling nourished and conditioned between salon appointments.

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, helping clients maintain their finished style.

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 makes it a great addition to your salon finishing routine, helping leave your clients' hair feeling softer, smoother and more manageable, with a healthy-looking shine.

What Is Argan Oil Light?

For clients who prefer a more lightweight finish, introduce them to 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 a useful addition to your professional styling routine and an easy product for clients to use at home.

Should You Recommend Argan Oil Serum or Argan Oil Light?

Choosing the right formula depends on your client's hair needs and how they prefer to apply their products.

Recommend Argan Oil Serum for clients looking for a traditional serum that helps smooth, nourish and condition the hair while controlling frizz and enhancing shine.

Recommend Argan Oil Light for clients who prefer a lightweight mist that distributes evenly through the hair without heaviness or greasy residue. It's particularly useful for clients who want a smooth, glossy finish while maintaining their hair's natural movement.

Both formulas help leave hair looking smoother, shinier and more manageable. Understanding the difference will help you confidently recommend the best option during your client's appointment.

How Should You Apply Argan Oil to Your Clients' Hair?

For Argan Oil Serum, start with a small amount in your hands and work it through the mid-lengths and ends, focusing on areas that feel dry or prone to frizz. Use it as a finishing touch to help smooth the hair and enhance shine.

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

When advising clients on home use, remind them to start with a small amount and build up depending on their hair's needs.

Is Argan Oil Good for Hair Extensions?

Argan oil can be a valuable part of your clients' hair extension aftercare routine, particularly for keeping the mid-lengths and ends feeling soft, smooth and manageable.

Unlike natural hair, extensions don't receive the oils produced by the scalp, making regular conditioning and appropriate aftercare particularly important for maintaining their appearance.

When applying argan oil to extensions, concentrate on the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding bonds, tapes and other attachment areas.

Stylist Tip: Use your client's maintenance appointments as an opportunity to check their aftercare routine and recommend suitable Beauty Works products to help keep their extensions looking and feeling their best between visits.

Can You Use Argan Oil on Dry Hair?

Yes. Argan oil can be used as a finishing product on dry hair to help smooth flyaways, control frizz and enhance shine.

Apply a small amount through the mid-lengths and ends after styling, adding more only where needed. It's an easy way to give your clients' finished look a smoother, glossier appearance before they leave the salon.

You can also recommend using argan oil at home to refresh their style between appointments and help keep their hair looking polished.
