Art Naturals Organic Argan Oil Hair Loss Shampoo for Hair Regrowth Review

Introduction

The product we are reviewing this week is Art Naturals Organic Argan Oil Hair Loss Shampoo for Hair Regrowth. As usual, we are examining the ingredients used in the product and discussing whether they can prevent hair loss and/or aid hair regrowth, based on solid scientific evidence.

Aloe Vera

Art Naturals has included aloe vera in this shampoo and whilst it has no hair follicle stimulating activity, it is known to be an excellent skin moisturizers. By conditioning the scalp, we reduce dermatitis and dandruff to create an environment that is more amendable to hair growth. The slight acidity of Aloe Vera is said to be close to the pH of skin which facilitates the penetration of nutrients into the scalp, to help strengthen hair and aid regrowth (1). In addition, because of the light absorption properties of Aloe, topical application of Aloe Vera can block 20-30% of UV rays to prevent sun-damage to scalp and hair (2). However, sun protection would be minimal as aloe is washed out the hair. 

Almond oil

Almond oil is a "light oil" that forms a coating around hair cuticles to prevent hair from being damaged by pollutants and harsh chemicals. It can soften hair and is rich in minerals and vitamin D, E to condition hair to prevent it from turning brittle.

Where to buy?

It can be purchased from Amazon and directly from Art Naturals. I strongly recommend you check out both places to compare prices. 

If they happen to be the same price, it would be better to order through Amazon, as payments would be more secure through a trusted vendor. Also they would be easier to contact (in addition to be able to contact the Art Naturals directly) if anything goes wrong. 

Instructions to use

The bottle states that it is designed for both men and women and suitable for all hair types - thick, thin, curly or straight. Simply massage into wet hair for 3 minutes thoroughly and then wash. Repeat if necessary.
