Foodaholic Argan
FOODAHOLIC's argan collection targets every stage of a hair care routine, from cleansing to styling. Argan oil, sourced from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree, is loaded with oleic acid, linoleic acid, and vitamin E -- a combination that softens hair, reduces frizz, and adds a lasting shine without weighing strands down. The range covers shampoos in two sizes, a treatment mask, a hair pack, a smoothing lotion, a coating essence, a styling glaze, and a firm-hold gel, making it one of the most complete argan lineups in Korean hair care.

FOODAHOLIC Argan Hair Care Guide
Argan oil is often called liquid gold for good reason -- it is one of the most effective natural ingredients for repairing chemically treated hair, taming frizz, and restoring shine to dull, dry strands. FOODAHOLIC's argan range translates this ingredient into a full in-shower and post-shower routine at an accessible price point, making it practical to use consistently rather than as an occasional treatment.
Why Argan Oil Works for Hair
Argan oil penetrates the hair shaft rather than simply coating the outside, delivering vitamin E and essential fatty acids where they are most needed. This deep action repairs micro-cracks in the cuticle caused by heat styling, bleaching, and mechanical stress. The result is visibly smoother hair that reflects light more evenly, and a scalp that produces less excess oil in response to dryness.
Cleansing with Bubble Therapy Argan Shampoo
The Bubble Therapy Argan Shampoo creates a rich, creamy lather that lifts product build-up and sebum without stripping natural oils. It is available in 500 ml for home use and 1500 ml for households with multiple users or high-frequency washing. Apply to wet hair from roots to ends, massage for 60 to 90 seconds focusing on the scalp, then rinse thoroughly. For very dry or damaged hair, reduce washing frequency to every other day to allow natural oils to recover.
Conditioning with Argan Treatment
The Argan Treatment (200 ml) is a rinse-out conditioner designed to be used after every shampoo session. Apply to towel-damp hair from mid-lengths to ends -- avoid the roots to prevent limp, weighed-down roots. Leave on for 2 to 3 minutes before rinsing with cool water to seal the cuticle. The Bubble Therapy Argan Treatment (500 ml) is a deeper-conditioning version suited to more damaged hair and weekly use as a replacement for the lighter treatment.
Weekly Deep Repair with Argan Hair Pack
Once a week, substitute the regular conditioner with the Argan Treatment Hair Pack (1000 ml). Apply generously to freshly washed, towel-damp hair, comb through for even coverage, and leave on for 10 to 20 minutes before rinsing. The larger 1000 ml size makes this format economical for long or thick hair. Consistent weekly use over four to six weeks produces a noticeable improvement in tensile strength and surface smoothness.
Leave-In Smoothing with Argan Hair Lotion
The Argan Smoothing Hair Lotion (500 ml) is a leave-in product applied to towel-damp hair before blow-drying. It forms a protective film that reduces heat damage and helps strands dry in a smoother alignment, cutting blow-dry time. Pump a coin-sized amount (or two pumps for long hair) into palms, emulsify, then distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends. Avoid the scalp area to prevent buildup.
Finishing with Argan Hair Oil
The Argan Hair Oil (150 ml) is a dry, fast-absorbing oil applied to fully dried hair for a final smoothing pass. Use 1 to 2 drops rubbed between palms, then skim over the surface of the hair to tame flyaways and add shine. Unlike heavier oils, argan's molecular structure means it absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy residue. It also works well on split ends as a cosmetic treatment to temporarily seal and reduce their visible appearance.
Protecting Colour with Argan Coating Essence
The Argan Hair Coating Essence (150 ml) is particularly useful for colour-treated hair. It forms a thin coating around each strand that locks in artificial pigment, slows colour fade, and adds additional UV protection. Apply a small amount to damp hair after conditioning, comb through, and leave in without rinsing. It layers well under the hair lotion for a combined protective and smoothing effect.
Styling with Argan Hair Glaze and Gel
The Argan Hair Glaze (500 ml) is a lightweight styling product that defines waves and curls, adds gloss, and provides light hold without the stiffness associated with gels. For harder-hold styles -- updos, sleek straight looks, or styles that need to last a full day -- the Argan Super Hard Hair Gel (500 ml) provides a firm grip that is still flexible enough not to crack or flake when the hair moves.
Building a Complete Argan Routine
For most hair types, a practical routine looks like this: wash with the Argan Shampoo, condition with the Argan Treatment, apply the Smoothing Lotion before blow-drying, and finish with the Hair Oil on dry hair. On weekly treatment days, swap the conditioner for the Hair Pack. If you colour your hair, add the Coating Essence between the conditioning and lotion steps. Style as needed with the Glaze or Gel.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What products make up the FOODAHOLIC argan range?
The FOODAHOLIC argan range includes a shampoo (in 500 ml and 1500 ml sizes), a rinse-out treatment (200 ml), a deep treatment (500 ml), a hair pack (1000 ml), a smoothing leave-in lotion (500 ml), a hair oil (150 ml), a coating essence (150 ml), a styling glaze (500 ml), and a firm-hold gel (500 ml). Together they cover every step from cleansing to styling.
Will FOODAHOLIC argan products help with heat-damaged hair?
Yes. The Argan Hair Pack and the Argan Treatment are the best starting points for heat-damaged hair. Used together -- shampoo, deep treatment, leave-in lotion, and finishing oil -- they help restore softness and reduce the appearance of frizz and breakage over consistent use. Results are gradual and most visible after four to six weeks of regular application.
Is the FOODAHOLIC argan range suitable for fine or thin hair?
Fine hair can tolerate argan products but benefits from lighter application. Use the Treatment (200 ml) rather than the hair pack on most days, apply the Smoothing Lotion sparingly from mid-lengths only, and use one drop of Hair Oil maximum. Avoid the Hair Glaze if your hair goes flat easily -- the Super Hard Gel gives a firmer lift with less weight.
What is the difference between the 500 ml and 1500 ml Argan Shampoo?
The formula is identical -- the only difference is volume. The 500 ml size suits single users or those who want to try the product before committing to a larger quantity. The 1500 ml size is more economical per ml and practical for families or people who wash their hair daily.
When should I use the Argan Treatment versus the Argan Hair Pack?
Use the Argan Treatment (200 ml) as your everyday conditioner after each wash -- it is lighter and rinses out quickly. Use the Bubble Therapy Argan Treatment (500 ml) or the Argan Treatment Hair Pack (1000 ml) for deeper weekly conditioning sessions where you can leave the product on for 10 to 20 minutes. The hair pack is the most intensive option and is best reserved for very dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair.
Does the Argan Coating Essence really protect hair colour?
The Coating Essence creates a film around each strand that physically slows the leaching of pigment molecules into water during washing. It does not stop fading entirely -- no topical product can replace professional colour sealing -- but consistent use noticeably extends vibrancy between salon visits. It also adds a reflective gloss to colour-treated hair that reads as improved colour depth.
How much Argan Smoothing Hair Lotion should I use?
Start with one pump (about 5 ml) for short to medium hair, and two pumps for long or thick hair. If your hair feels weighed down or greasy at the roots, reduce the amount and concentrate it on the mid-lengths and ends only. Less is more with this product -- over-application can leave hair feeling heavy or looking flat.
What is the difference between the Argan Hair Oil and the Argan Hair Glaze?
The Hair Oil (150 ml) is applied to dry hair as a finishing product to tame flyaways and add shine -- it has no hold and absorbs into the hair rather than coating it. The Hair Glaze (500 ml) is a styling product applied to damp hair before drying and provides light hold, wave definition, and a glossy finish. The two serve different purposes and can be used together: glaze on damp hair, oil on dry hair after styling.
How strong is the Argan Super Hard Hair Gel?
The Super Hard Hair Gel provides firm hold that keeps styles in place through humidity and movement. Despite the name, the formula dries with some flexibility rather than a completely rigid cast, so hair does not crack or flake when touched. It is well suited to sleek straight styles, controlled curls, and updos that need to last a full day.
Can I apply any of these products to my scalp?
The Argan Shampoo is the only product in this range intended for scalp application. All conditioning, treatment, and styling products should be kept away from the roots and scalp to prevent product buildup, clogged follicles, and limp roots. If you have a dry or flaky scalp, address that with a dedicated scalp treatment rather than applying argan conditioners to the roots.
How soon will I see results from using the FOODAHOLIC argan range?
Most people notice improved softness and reduced frizz within the first two to three wash sessions. More significant improvements in hair strength, shine, and overall texture typically become visible after four to six weeks of consistent use. Hair that is severely damaged may take longer to show structural improvement.
