Does argan oil help split ends?

Argan oil is amazingly helpful for growing and maintaining beautiful and attractive hair and it’s also very beneficial for getting rid of many hair problems.

However, does argan oil help with split ends?

The answer is a bit complicated, but I'm going to try to give you as much details and help as possible.

The first thing you have to understand about split ends is their nature, in other words, what are they?

You can think of split ends as "hair breakage", the hair extremities are going to split and get damaged.

This is what split ends are.

Why?

Split ends are due to mechanical, chemical, or heat stress.

The major causes of split ends are excessive use of curling irons or other aggressive chemical compounds such as those found in hair dyes.

Hair coloring is very damaging and is probably the main cause of split ends , after excessive use of heat, because it’s going to destroy and strip your hairs from their protective layers, this will make the hairs extremely weak and prone to breakage and split ends.

Another important reason for having split ends is mechanical stress.

When you comb your hair forcefully, you are going to cause split ends, this is inevitable!

However, research has shown that when you comb your hair to words your scalp, split ends do not occur, it’s because the extremities of your hairs are the most weak and fragile parts, when you exert force and tension on them, they are going to "split".

You may already know all this information, but I really think that they are extremely important to understand if argan oil is going to help you with split ends or not!

So, does argan oil help with split ends?

The truth is that there is no remedy for split ends!

The only solution you have is trimming your hair and getting rid of them through scissors!

Sorry to say this, but split ends are very difficult to get rid of, and even though some shampoos are going to claim to "seal" your hair ends, in reality it’s going to be temporary.

This doesn't mean that argan oil is not going to help you manage them, it is going to create a protective layer around your hairs, this layer is going to make the split ends in your hair look "normal".

It’s not a permanent solution, it’s going to disappear once this protective layer is washed away.

Can argan oil prevent split ends?

Yes, argan oil is very effective at preventing split ends because it’s going to protect your hairs by creating a fatty layer around them which is going to shield them from heat, sunlight, and chemicals; however argan oil should be applied before a stressful event to your hair, such as using a curling iron for example.

This way, argan oil is going to create the protective layer that is responsible for preventing your hairs ends from splitting.
