Does Argan Oil Promote Beard Growth? Application and Effect

Argan oil is often referred to as the “gold of Morocco” or “liquid gold.” Argan oil is said to not only nourish the skin but also promote hair growth. But how do you use argan oil for hair?

And does hair actually grow faster with argan oil? We want to explore this in more detail.

What is Argan Oil and How is it Made?

Argan oil is obtained by pressing the seed kernels of the ripe fruit of the argan tree. These trees are found only in the semi-deserts of Morocco and Algeria.

The pressing of the seed kernels is very labor-intensive and is done manually by local women. The cultivation areas of the argan tree were declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1998.

What Makes Argan Oil So Special?

Argan oil is particularly rich in Vitamin E and antioxidants. It not only has a highly nourishing effect and combats skin aging, but it also protects the skin from external influences and pollution.

How Does Argan Oil Affect Beard Hair?

Argan oil is generally good for the hair. The antioxidants it contains nourish and protect the hair and shield the hair follicle from harmful influences.

Your beard hair will become more nourished and shinier through the use of argan oil.

• It also becomes more resistant to breakage.
• The hair appears fuller and healthier.
• Its surface is less rough.
• Dirt particles and skin flakes are easier to comb out.

Argan oil has antibacterial properties. This helps the skin under your beard. It soothes it and hydrates it.

Expert Tip: You can also use argan oil as aftershave care. Due to its antibacterial effect, it protects against inflammation and helps you avoid razor burn.

Our beard oil also contains argan oil and other nourishing ingredients. Just browse through the shop under beard products, and you're sure to find something for your beard.

Unlike industrially manufactured creams and fats, it does not clog your pores and thus does not cause impurities. Additionally, argan oil also prevents beard hair from fading - the highly concentrated Vitamin E is a natural UV protectant.

Does Argan Oil Really Promote Beard Growth?

Now, to the most important question for many men: Does argan oil actually promote beard growth? Unfortunately, argan oil has no direct effect on hair growth and cannot directly stimulate, encourage, or accelerate it. Nevertheless, using argan oil makes sense if you want a fuller beard.

If you want to know how to stimulate and promote beard growth, then read this article:

• By massaging the oil into your beard and skin, circulation is stimulated.
  
  
• The hair follicle is subjected to a kind of healthy stress and gets the impulse to grow stronger.
  
  
• Your beard hair also receives a good amount of care from the argan oil, making it stronger and more resilient.

This certainly creates the impression of a fuller and healthier beard. Especially if you have just started growing out your beard, argan oil can be very beneficial.

You can avoid skin irritation and ensure your beard grows healthy, soft, and shiny from the start.

Argan Oil as Natural Beard Care: Application Tips

When using argan oil, there's not much to keep in mind. However, we still want to give you some tips for optimal beard care:

• Argan oil can be applied to both wet and dry hair equally. You should leave it on for at least five minutes; we recommend a half hour to an hour.
  
  
• Use the oil sparingly - a few drops are sufficient.
  
  
• Massage the oil from the hair root to the hair tip.
  
  
• For an even more intensive result, you can also use a beard brush - we have a really high-quality one for you in our shop - check it out!
• After the application time, rinse the oil thoroughly out.

Does Argan Oil Have Any Side Effects?

Argan oil has no side effects. Intolerances are so rare that we don’t really need to discuss them.

What you should keep in mind is the application time. You should leave argan oil as an intensive treatment for a maximum of 8 hours at a time. Since argan oil is a pure natural product, it can spoil over a longer period and cause your hair to mat or become sticky.

Conclusion
