Argan Oil Use: Hair Serum
The claim: Adds shine and moisture to dry strands.
What we did: Applied a quarter-size amount to split ends, both dry and right after getting out of the shower.
How it worked: "On dry hair, it definitely felt a little soupy. Though it did seem to hydrate the ends, I did not care for the thin texture on dry hair. The product works better on wet hair, just out of the shower. It does seem to make ends softer and less ragged."

Argan Oil Use: Deep Conditioner
The claim: Contains nutrients, like vitamin E and fatty acids, that help restore moisture to hair strands and even claims to boost hair growth.
What we did: Applied three times throughout the week and left on over night.
How it worked: "I've religiously used oils in my hair forever. So I can say I was actually pretty shocked when my hair didn't seem any more nourished than it was before I used the argan oil as a deep conditioner. The next day, my ends were slightly more hydrated, but they still had that dry, straw-like texture. I actually prefer to leave the oil in my hair as a serum instead -- works way better."

Argan Oil Use: Lip Balm
The claim: Nourishes lips with vitamin E and fatty acids.
What we did: Applied to lips before bed.
How it worked: "At first I put this on during the day and it was honestly, kind of gross. I felt like I couldn't eat or drink anything without it leaving behind a slimy mess. So, I switched to nighttime and put it on before I went to bed because it was much more practical -- and turned out much better.
It felt weird because it wasn't as substantial as my other lip oil, so it felt more slippery and less hydrating. I started putting it on while I would read, and then blotting it right before I went to bed so it wouldn't leave a giant mess allover my pillow (it took a while to sink in). It made my lips soft, though. I wouldn't trade my Hourglass lip oil for it, however. Though it does seem like a solid option if you have it on hand."

Argan Oil Use: Cuticle Oil
The claim: Argan oil's nourishing properties, like vitamin E, help soothe and hydrate cuticles.
What we did: Applied to cuticles at bedtime.
How It Worked: "With the cold winter weather, my cuticles had been peeling but this argan oil seemed to provide some nourishing relief. After a few days of applying the oil at bedtime, my cuticles didn't seem as dry. I wouldn't say it completely rid my cuticles of the drying effects of winter weather but it definitely helped. I did find the greasy texture of the product a bit annoying, as I couldn't really do anything with my hands -- like check my phone one last time before going to bed -- after slathering on the product."

Argan Oil Use: Frizz Tamer
The claim: Soothes fly-aways and static hair with a single dime-size drop.
What we did: Applied dime-size amount to hair once a day.
How it worked: "Technically this does tamp down frizz. Problem is, it also made my hair look hella greasy. Because the oil is so thick, it's a lot and harder to work through hair than the superlight smoothing serums you can buy, and it seemed to weigh down my hair, leaving it looking flat. I wouldn't use this to fight frizz unless I was really in a pinch."
