How to make argan oil at home?

If you’re tired of using commercially available argan oils that don’t seem to work or are too expensive, why not make your own? Making argan oil is a great way to control the quality and purity of the product while also saving some cash. Here’s how you can make your very own argan oil.

Understanding Argan Oil

It’s essential first to understand what argan oil is before we dive into making it. Argon oil comes from an Argania Spinosa tree that only grows in Morocco. The nuts that grow on these trees produce both culinary and cosmetic oils. However, the most ideal for hair care is cosmetic-grade Argon oil due to its high vitamin E content.

Cosmetic-grade argon oils help achieve luscious locks by acting as a natural conditioner, smoothing rough and frayed ends, and keeping those curls/frizz under control with its nourishing elements.

Benefits of Using Argon Oil

Argonia spinose seeds’ low production means that this type of seed provides more nutrients than any other plant-based form of conditioning agent out there! Not only does it do wonders for people’s hair health—reduces inflammation (bye-bye dandruff!), boosts collagen growth; increases shine—it’s anti-aging benefits have been studied as well!

Materials You Need To Make Your Own Go-To Hair Helper

There aren’t many materials you need when creating your own hair helper serum! Most everything needed should be relatively found at home except maybe one ingredient: macadamia oil – yes, Macadamia Nut Oil can be used instead!

Here’s a complete list:

  • Raw pure organic Agran kernels
  • Macadamia nut or Sweet Almond OIl
  • Roasting pan
  • Mortar & pestle / Frying pan

Firstly select fresh organic arg then place them in a frying pan over low flame. Warm the nuts to help release their natural oils.

Cleaning The Argan Kernels

After several minutes of warming, take out some kernels and proceed to break them down in a mortar and pestle or alternatively use a stone grinder—in any case, just grind away until they are ready.

Checking For Quality Kerrnels

Ensure your kernels’ quality by keeping an eye out for general signs of poor kernel quality such as discoloration; lack-of-shine; and pre-growth cracks can all reduce seed oil output/purity levels resulting in hair serum with subpar results!

Roast the Grind-Up Kernels To Get That Unique Nutty Aroma!

Now that you’ve cleaned up your argan seeds, it’s time that I tell you about roasting! Well . . .

if this was Harry Potter we’d say “Sectumsempra!” Yes, our whippering-kern-a-like feels pain from heat-roasting against searing-hot metal similar to Unspeakable-class curses…but don’t let that stop YOU from crafting luxurious product; craft on!

Moving on…Roast ground-up kernels inside an oven after lightly rubbing them with water beforehand. Fun Fact: Exposed sunlight will bleach/damage these precious fruits, so keep those kerns shaded from high UV levels.

Disclaimer: Please transfer mix into mixing bowl before moving onto next step – else practice Fire Safety when handling heated/flammables (i.e., aluminum-based cooking wear).

Mix Oil With Roasted Kernels

Add hot predetermined portion-size oils Macadamia nut/Sweet Almond OIl at varying stages—like caramelizing vegetables—for max flavor development! Steps include:

1) Add 2-ml oil first
2) Mixing together while showing passion for her locks
3) Once blended well continue adding macadamia/oil in small portions until the seeds/oil has become a smooth homogeneous emulsion.

Filter The Oil Mixture

Once you’ve blended that mixture into a silky-smooth texture, let it sit for ten minutes or so before pouring it through filters into glass vials for storage purposes.

A GOOD TIP: less than $10 inexpensive reusable cheesecloth bag—just don’t expect to munch on all that cheesy goodness yourself!

For Extra-filtering Options: Try testing different versions of silk fabrics alongside sedimentation techniques followed up with an additional filtering via paper towel folds along with double “underwear-like” silks for maximum purity/potential cleaning effects possible – your hair will thank you later (Oh baby!).

Store It and Keep It Safe

After finally crafting our hero product[s], keep those creations safe from the sun’s harmful UV rays by storing in dark-colored glass containers out of sightline space—you should have empties premade beforehand as well! Recommended storage spots would be inside cool areas such as shelf-storage, drawers or linen cabinets away from humidity! Or use my fave idea; put them underneath vanity mirrors …

Note-worthy Warning Sign

Don’t ever make this mistake, avoid letting oils spoil since these products can quickly go rancid if stored incorrectly. You won’t want to risk causing any health-inducing inflammations caused by mold levels growth found inside outdated/hard-to-sniff-turned piles of stuff commonly blocking sinks—all purposely made avalanches we romp over when entering bathrooms everywhere!

Conclusion

Making argan oil at home is not only effortless but incredibly worth making thanks to its overall benefits towards healthy hair upkeep without breaking one’s bank account. Experimentation fuels artistic expression and cultural enhancement for achieving unique Argon oil variants; good luck on your [hair care] journey moving forward!
