Found that argan oil could penetrate the hair shaft but not as well as coconut oil. Also found that argan oil increased susceptibility to breakage by making it more vulnerable to water/humiditycaution
Argan Oil's ability to penetrate (soak into) hair hasn't been well-researched but is it is likely to have moderate penetration (similar to olive oil, and much less than coconut oil)
Study found argan oil was effective at protecting bleached hair from damage, moreso than camellia oil
