Grown and harvested in the southwest region of Morocco, the argan tree has provided a beauty secret to women of the region for centuries. Moroccan women use the oil harvested from its kernels by applying it to their dry hair for styling and overnight moisture treatments.

This ancient Moroccan secret has found quite a receptive market here in the United States. Argan oil is now the hot new ingredient for women seeking softer, silkier tresses. Here are some of the hottest new argan-oil-infused products!

Moroccan Oil. Duh -- the brand in the familiar sky-blue label calls itself "the original" for a reason. Moroccan Oil helped to put argan oil on the mainstream map, and there's a reason it's so popular with women with both relaxed and natural hair. It smells awesome, and it works!

Creme of Nature is known and loved by black women with all different hair textures, and the new Creme of Nature with Argan Oil From Morocco line promises to deliver radiant shine and intense moisture to thirsty tresses. The Gloss and Shine mist would be great for already-styled hair, while the Intensive Conditioning Treatment promises to strengthen, moisturize and prevent breakage. At $1.50 for a 1.75 oz packet, it's an affordable way to give argan oil a try! Look for the new red packages on store shelves this summer.

BE Beverly Hills has a hot, new Inspired Shine and Repair Serum with Argan Oil that blends pure and premium ingredients to rehydrate and protect your hair. Argan, jojoba and avocado oil, combined with silk amino acids and SPF protection. Oh, and it's paraben free!
