Argan oil in hair care.

I have always loved everything about Egypt. Like so many others I also had the feeling there was something miraculous about its history. The pyramids and mummies have always enchanted me. I had made all my presentations about ancient Egypt in the primary school. So it’s obvious that I was really super excited in 1999 when the film „The Mummy” got into the movies. But why I mention this film about Egypt when I write about Argan oil in hair care? Only because it was filmed in the home of Argan oil, Morocco.
