Hey Ladies, I have recently used Argun Oil for my face and hair. All my splint ends have gone away, and my skin is much smoother and toned.
Here is some info  on Argun Oil, I highly recommend this product.
 
 
Argan oil is an oil produced from the kernels of the argan tree, endemic to Morocco, that is valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties.
 
Traditionally the oil is produced by hand. First the soft pulp is stripped from the nuts which are then laid out in the sun to dry. Stones are used to crack open the dried nuts so the seeds can be removed. Next, they’re gently roasted to give the oil a rich, nutty flavor. A little water is added to the roasted seeds and they are ground into a thick paste which is squeezed by hand to extract the oil.
Legend has it that there’s another way to produce this precious oil: Breaking open the nut shells is really hard work and the Moroccans have found that it’s easier wait for their goats to eat the fruit (yes, goats are big fans of argan fruit. They’ll even try to climb trees in search of this succulent treat!) The seeds pass through the goat’s digestive track and emerge on the other end a bit softer since they’re partially digested. So, all the Moroccans have to do is follow the goats around and wait for the seeds to reappear.

Ew, so they pull the seeds out of the poop and use the oil in their hair?! That’s so gross! I’ve never heard of this stuff either, is this a joke or are you serious? o_O

I know that sounds gross, but it actually smells very good. Yes I was being serious…  My mom starting me on it, i don’t think she read up on the history. LOL
It is wonderful for split ends, that is what i use it most for.
