&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Yes! There is an organic oil version for hair stylists which may be 
required for daily routines or work purposes in the respective industry.
 While many has
    given up on the hope for haircare treatment and fancy decorations, 
this product seeks to compromise between beauty and wellness, fulfilling
 your needs in
    each and every possible way.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 How much Argan oil should I use?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 First of all, there is no definite volume for measurement as the 
amount needed varies from an individual to another depending on hair 
condition, length and
    type. In fact, this is a specialized topic which requires absolute 
adjustment during the process and may need some trials to identify the 
ideal amount to
    be placed on your hair.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Fret not, this article aims to provide a tutorial for amateurs who 
are unsure on the entire process a detailed report and critical 
explanation for maximum
    success rate.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Recommendation For Beginners:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 The first ever step of any hair style is to experiment with small 
incremental amounts such as adequate 2 teaspoons, following by gradual 
increase when
    deemed necessary. You may need to undergo tremendous efforts in 
identifying an ideal spray head which is both durable and fixating small
 amounts without
    any wastage upon dispense.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Haircare Styles Solutions
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 No matter What, No matter Where, No matter When … Utmost assurance 
on both hair protection and style, remaining assertive and affirmative 
all day long.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Weaknesses: Brittle, Frizzy, Dry, Unmanageable, Coarse, Straight, Coily, Curly and Wavy
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Solutions: Straighten Hair, Natural Curls Enhancer, Reduce Frizzles and All-day Shininess
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Directly apply argan oil on your hair without any other hair styling
 products, this will almost guarantee you a durable, natural and 
flexible grip without
    much stiffness and stickiness. Do not add any supporting effects or 
haircare treatments as it may be counter productive due to 
over-optimization on micro
    scalps.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 For curls enhancement, use a proper curling iron (certified from 
Guardian or Walmart) prior to boosting volume and magnifying curls to be
 Japanese-like.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 In order to mitigate hair breakage and hair contact, you may need to
 apply argan oil hair products to a damped hair, best after a refreshing
 shower, prior
    to utilizing a blow dryer and round-style comb to open wavy hair.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 For those who insists on having a simplistic style, you can organize a polished look or air dry after applications.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 To summarize argan oil context, not only does your hair observes 
weightless-hold hairstyle, long-lasting which protects and nourishes 
hair from piping hot
    thermal environmental factors.
&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>https://www.tumblr.com/dennisbenway/139784083540</link><guid>https://www.tumblr.com/dennisbenway/139784083540</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Feb 2016 06:39:35 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Homemade Argan Oil Egg Yolk Based Mask Recipe</title><description>&lt;p&gt; In this article, there would be a step-by-step recipe procedure in achieving the final product, Homemade-Argan-Oil-Egg-Yolk mask.
 A  word of caution is to prepare extra ingredients and content as 
there may be some areas which are quite greyish and requires 
modification without
 warning.
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
    Tip: You can edit the criteria or steps according to your level
 of comfort without any worry due to the harmless nature in this guide.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Without further ado, the requisites of this secret sauce is:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 # 1 Teaspoon of
Argan Oil : This is the first and most crucial step as without arganic 
content, the entire recipe may fail to provide the core nutrients.
        &lt;br/&gt;
 Reason: This is an organic source which gives the best value to 
its final mixed hence presence of Argan is needed under all 
circumstances. The purpose
        of this touch is to ensure that the recipe is well-defined and 
suited for application.
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; # 1 Teaspoon of Honey: Being a natural product, similar to Argan
 Oil haircare, Honey is needed to soothe mask and provides a gentle soft
 touch for
        clean usage. The smooth feel of the mask is actually derives 
from honey without a doubt!
        &lt;br/&gt;
 Reason: There is an obligatory matter to include this sweet 
favorite as the final material’s popularity is highly dependent of it. 
It may be unwise not
        to include honey as the feeling will not be satisfactory though 
yielding good results.
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 # 1 Egg Yolk: Another core fundamental is having an egg yolk. How could the recipe ever work without its core feature?
        &lt;br/&gt;
 Reason: There is an absolute need for this ingredient else all 
above done will be wasted. The egg yolk provides key nutrients to the 
mask before
        supplying on your hair, acting as the main ingredient for hair 
mask. Yolk, derives from an Egg, has the most amount of nutrients as it 
has the ability
        to create life – a chick!
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 # 1 Teaspoon of Olive Oil &amp;amp; Castor Oil: While anyone may 
argue their way out, both ingredients are necessary to proceed and act 
as ancillary   assistance to the hair mask recipe. In short, we can say that 
these secondary content is as important as the primary ones supporting 
the full features.
        &lt;br/&gt;
 Reason: There is no harm enhancing the mask with appropriate and
 moderate ancillaries. In fact, having both organic oils is an essential
 step to derive
        with a powerful hair mask gel, providing even more features to 
your hair and act as a healthy treatment routine.
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 A short succinct guide in having the final mixture up:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Step One: Place the Egg Yolk based in a evaporating 
dish/plate/bowl – This is to build the foundation on the end product as 
the most ‘solid’ base is
        the egg shape.
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Step Two: Pour down Honey (slow motion) – This is to enhance the
 base foundation being laid down by the yolk. It is quite sticky hence 
the enhancer
        effects.
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Step Three: Mix content well by stirring vigorously and flipping
 for some time – This is for mixture consistency and ingredients being 
spread out
        evenly.
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Step Four: Apply this mask with the following tutorial – Start 
off from the roots then to the tip of your hair. An advice is to proceed
 with a wet hair
        for a smooth transition but not a must.
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Step Five: Leave the
hair serum
 on your head for approximately half an hour to 45 minutes – Your
 hair will be taken care of in a pampered manner, just seat back and 
enjoy!
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Step Six: Rinse off all content thoroughly without sparing a 
thought – Try to wash off using a gentle shampoo and rubbed diligently 
on all areas.
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Outcome: Your hair would feel pampered and real smooth, having a
 baby feeling. This short tutorial guide can allow you to have a 
temporary protection
    against harsh weather conditions such as direct heat rays and 
polluted environments. The last thing you want is a damaged hair style, 
demoralizing
        outlooks and dull facial expressions!

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 What is Culinary Argan Oil?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 The very first question in everyone’s mind is the nature and history
 of this unique oil product, a god-send edible catalyst, which has the 
ability to heal
    diseases and illness without advanced medical science and 
technologies.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 In order for us to answer this miraculous elixir, it is of utmost certainty to understand the
 History of Argan Oil. Culinary, a direct relation to cooking, recognizes the need for 
Argan Oil to receive some kind of cooking before being declared 
officially edible.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 The process of Culinary Argan Oil:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 To dealt with uncooked nuts being gathered from Argan Trees, light 
cooking is a mandatory course. These nuts are being lightly roasted or 
toasted to form a
    peculiar greasy substance with a tagged name; Moroccan Liquid Gold. 
Upon being roasted, argan oil produced a nutty flavor and can be tasted 
once consumed.
    Most of the time, it is being used as a catalyst for wholemeal bread
 or whipping out healthy dishes.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Preserving Freshness in Argan Oil:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
    #1 Storing or Holding Period – Culinary Oil can only be kept in 
reserve for less than 4 months, any longer is deemed impure or 
contaminated. While it may
    be seemingly demanding for a short 4 months period, this is to 
ensure that the freshness index is not being compromised. Should a 
longer period receives
    justification, do remember to lightly shake the oil. This may 
activate good inactive bacteria to better aid your decisions.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
    #2 Avoid Overcooking at all cost – No, deep frying and immense heat 
is strictly prohibited. In order for good bacteria to survive, mild-heat
 is strongly
    advisable instead of usual unhealthy deep-frying method. There is no
 doubt that immense heat will kill the good bacteria being retained in 
the Culinary
    Oil. The disadvantage of Culinary Oil is that it is unable to 
withstand intense cooking where else its competitor, Olive Oil, has the 
ability to withstand
    such heat. Nonetheless, avoid any overcooking as it is regarded as a
 Moral Hazard to your health.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 As you can see, Culinary Oil is edible but has the same issue as all
 consumables, a short lifespan. Be it dipping in wholemeal bread or 
using as a cooking
    catalyst, it must be consumed within a short four months period else
 being deemed impure and subjected to wastage.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Where can use Culinary Oil?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 In the past before technology and research are being identified, 
Culinary Oil is mere a tool for whipping basic dishes like roasted nuts 
and vegetables.
    This is a tradition for Berber community as it brings health 
benefits to them regardless of any unknown diseases, often regarded as 
uber-substances.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Fast forward to today’s modernize context, it is said to be useful 
in tens if not hundreds of ways. Research groups are formed to gather 
concrete evidence
    regarding new alternative methods in using Argan Oil. Therefore, 
many statements and feedback are being collated, tested and proven to be
 useful for this
    miracle elixir, Culinary Argan Oil.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
    1. Substitute as Spice: It can be used as a flavor-enhancer in plain
 or dry dishes given its Nutty Flavor. Assuming daily mundane bread 
consumption,
    Culinary Argan Oil can act as a butter-spread on the wholemeal bread
 and add a nutty taste for better appetite. Another alternative is 
regarding cooking
    method, it can be replicate as cooking oil and whipped out healthier
 dishes as compared to tradition poly-saturated cooking oils.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
    2. Replacement of Sauces: Culinary Argan Oil has the special ability
 to craft out different tastes on different types of food. For dry food 
such as bread,
    it serves as a moisturizer for comfort on mouth. When it comes to 
damp ones, it serves as a savory to the dishes. As for hybrid mixtures 
such as Pizzas or
    Pastas, Culinary Argan Oil acts as toppings which are nutty in 
flavor, a unique delicacy to our taste buds.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
    3. Healthy Salad Bars: Eliminate or Stop using Thousand Island 
sauces on salad, these are unhealthy fats and defeats the entire purpose
 of healthy
    consumption. Instead, use Culinary Argan Oil as dressings to the 
salads and a healthy assurance is inevitable. In addition, Moroccans 
personnel often use
    this oil in their daily necessities due to its irreplaceable 
benefits.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Case Studies: Benefits of Culinary Argan Oil
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 In recent years, many case studies are being formed in order to 
approved Culinary Argan Oil in terms of consumption as well as external 
usage – dressing
    wounds or attending to affected areas. Culinary Argan Oil has its 
benefits;
 Treating Arthritis, Reducing Cholesterol, Anti-cancer properties
     ,Healthy Diet and many more.

However, you might not realize just how many different hair oils there are for different hair types.
    It’s true though; there are dozens of hair oil products because there are many different types of hair.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 However, while you may have long but fine, greasy hair, you could 
find that you need to choose a product that can handle both problems. 
This can be a
    challenge but this is what many find because there can be a lot of 
different problems that combine when it comes to the hair.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
What this really means is that you have to find best hair oil that works for you.
    It has to be soft but help the hair actually combat its problems and ensure the hair looks healthy and is healthy also.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Sometimes, the most popular choice is Mira Hair oil.
 This is a simple formula, albeit, a little more expensive formula but 
it can offer
    real results for most types of hair. It can be a different hair oil 
but one which can handle most hair types which is important but of 
course, this might
    not work for you so you do need to consider other options.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Important Points to Remember
    
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 To be honest, there are many different hair oils for many different 
hair types and while a lot of the hair oil products are good, they don’t
 always work.
    You might find that one product is good and everyone raves about it 
but that doesn’t mean it will work for you personally.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Of course, it can be all very confusing but the most important thing
 to remember is that, what works for your friend, might not work for 
you. One product
    can be good but it might not be for your hair type and if it isn’t 
it might do more damage than good.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 It’s really all about testing and trying out a lot of products 
before you find the best one for you and your hair type. That doesn’t 
necessarily mean you
need to choose a hair product that costs hundreds for one bottle but 
rather  hair oil
    that works for your hair. That could be the Mira hair oil or it might not be, it just depends on your hair type.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Remember, not all hair oil products work for your hair type and to 
be honest, you do have to be very careful with your hair. Sometimes, the
 hair doesn’t
    react well to certain products, especially if the scalp is easily 
irritated so you do need to find the best hair oil that is kind and soft
    to the hair and scalp.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 To be honest, most people don’t take note of whether the hair oil 
they use is for thin, fine or thick hair and end up damaging their hair 
further. It will
    be very important to choose the right hair oil for your hair and
Mira hair oil is a very good choice and it can be kind to most hair types. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>https://www.tumblr.com/dennisbenway/139783486320</link><guid>https://www.tumblr.com/dennisbenway/139783486320</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Feb 2016 06:15:13 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Argan Oil History</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Aren’t you curious on the production of this miraculous 
arganic-content elixir? Indeed, one should be astonished by nature’s 
organic way of enhancement for
 the benefits of haircare beauty.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 The intense density of argan oil content has been scientifically 
proven to nourish and strengthen hair growth rates, enabling users to 
regain confidence
    from previously weak or poor hair scalps. Many manufacturers and 
research groups are having a hot debate on this peculiar looking tree 
with a unique code
 name; Liquid Gold.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Background of Argan Tree:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Originated from the sap of an Ancient Tree in Morocco, a type of 
luxuriant oil is born. For several decades, a ancient tribe, Berber 
group in Morocco, have
   utilized this unique oil for various aspects but not limited to 
culinary concepts, medicinal treatments and most popularly – cosmetic 
and beauty products.
   Due to its declining nature and frequent usage, this specie is being
 guarded by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural 
Organizations (UNESCO
    in short) to prevent impending extinctions. In today’s context, 
argan oil is considered to be a highly priced luxurious product in the 
realm of beauty
    especially the haircare segment.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Why does it have a code name Liquid Gold?
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Being reddish-brown by nature, the color signifies its presence in 
Morocco, depicting an earthly nature from the gigantic roots being 
buried underneath the
 olden soils. There is a belief that Argan tree is founded in a town 
name Argana, village North-East of the Moroccon state, Agadir. The 
entire tree does not
    need any sorts of nurturing as it is said to survive many natural 
disasters such as drought climate, monsoon seasons or sandstorms. This 
fruit resembles an
    olive plant in terms of outlooks but has far more benefits in 
reality. The valence of the fruit is deemed solid, dry kernels and 
certainly having a lovely
    nut inside it. The nut inside the fruit is the key focal point for 
usage after undergoing an arduous process from farmers. Probe further 
below to view the
    entire process for this unique liquid gold, being rich in both 
vitamins and nutrients for users.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 In-depth breakdown of Argan Oil Extraction process:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 There will be a succinct introduction on the traditional process 
following by a detailed report. The process adheres to the following 
required steps in
    following order …
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
    1. Harvesting &amp;amp; Collection of Argan Fruits – Heart of the fruit,
 Nut, is the main collection factor, explained in the later process
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
    2. Sun-bathing the fruits approximately 2-5 weeks – By sun-drying, 
the argan pulp will turned hard for ease in removal for main content, 
nut from the fruit
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
    3. Retrieving nuts and seeds procedure – Upon completion in 
sun-bathing, the farmers will proceed to remove the hard pulp from the 
fruits with ease,
    ensuring a beautiful nut being collected and collated. Obtaining 
seeds by manual labor – Once the nuts are being taken, women will do the
 tedious job by
    crushing them to retrieve seeds
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
    4. Extraction of seeds to get Liquid Gold – The final state in 
getting argan oil is to get an adequate number of seeds for optimal oil 
content
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 These 4 steps may be simplistic but upon execution, one may find it a tough manual job to perform extraction.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Harvesting and Collection of Argan Fruits
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Anyone may mock at the ease of grabbing an organic argan oil hair 
product in the heart of convenient stores located at developed cities 
but not during the
    entire extraction process. The argan forest does not allow easy 
access nor is it simple to get to the desired designation. Argan tree 
grows in the middle
    of dangerously inaccessible valleys where the geographical depth is 
does not advocate further ventures. Domestic farmers often traveled on 
exhausting
    journeys in the open sun by foot as they do not possess sufficient 
purchasing power to purchase convenient transport means. While some 
locals do bring
    along their mules and donkeys to support the weight of the harvest, 
many poor peasants do not have the capability to reel such expensive 
animals to lighten
    their burdens given the poor economic infrastructure. To make matter
 worst, the harvested period falls on Morocco’s hottest climate between 
June and
    August, thrusting excruciating heat rashes and giving way of legs 
during the whole journey. However rich content the argan tree has, these
 individuals are
    made to hand-pick the ripe fruits instead of climbing the tree to 
gain access to unripe ones. This is to ensure that the fruits have 
future growth and
    freshly ripe fruits for optimal oil usage.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Sun-bathing Fruits for 2-5 Weeks
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 As the initial stage of collection has been completed, the second 
step is to sun-dry all of them under the hot sun for an approximate 
range of 2 to 5
    weeks. This process is mandatory as the green flesh makes retrieval 
of argan nuts tough hence drying the pulp till roasted is an obligatory 
option for
    farmers. Once the entire pulp turns golden brown, the fruit can be 
easily pry open to retrieve the desired heart, nut. This may take some 
time as the nut
    must be in mint condition before implementation of tedious manual 
extraction process. Experienced workers take a shorter period of time in
 forcing the nuts
    out of the fruits while non-experienced ones suffered from 
destroying some nuts. In case of accidental oil discharged, experienced 
personnel will assist in
    separating the disfigured nuts for direct oil extraction facing 
risks in gaining lower quality oil presence.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Retrieving Nuts and Seeds Procedure
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 It is said that argan nuts have a solid shell by nature with 
hardness of close to eighteen times as compared to Hazelnuts. Moreover, 
nuts are mainly oval
    in shape with a relatively small size. Greedy manufacturers and 
researchers tried to identify short-cuts by designing machines, 
accompanied with
    technologies but experienced high failure rates instead. The 
kernels, main focal point of retrieval, is fragile by nature as opposed 
to the nut hence
    machines are unable to compromise an accurate figure with gentle 
exertion. Ultimately, these greedy individuals left and the entire 
process reverted back
    to arduous time consuming standards. Experienced Berber women have 
unparalleled match in nuts and seeds retrievals given their long history
 and daily
    routines. In order to obtain the seeds, Berber women utilized 
rock-solid stones to crush the shells and retrieve the desired seeds for
 the last stage. This
    is very time consuming as the shells must be pry open in a 
professional manner, protecting the seeds for getting damaged during the
 process. However good
    the fruit may be, each nut contains only 2 to 3 seeds and some nuts 
may not have any at all!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Extraction of Seeds to get Liquid Gold
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 In order to get Argan Oil content, the seeds must 
be grind in a traditional manner utilizing stone hand mill. Upon 
completion in grinding,
    warm water is added into this mixture and there is where liquid gold
 is being formed. There is a standard filtration process for optimal 
collection in oil
    whereby Moroccan residents rejoiced for this blessing Mother Nature 
provides. This is the very basic form of oil which can be developed into
 many forms in
    the latter refining process.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Advice To Users:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
 Next time before using an organic argan product, do remember that 
the entire extraction process is tedious and painstakingly created for 
the benefit of
    users. It is of a wise decision to continue supporting organic 
Moroccan oil products instead of machinery industrial makes, delegating 
failures in the art
    of harvesting and oil retrievals.
