iUNIK Argan Nourishing Hair Oil 100ml

iUNIK Argan Nourishing Hair Oil: Argan-Led Finishing Oil for Damaged Lengths

iUNIK is a mid-priced K-beauty brand that competes with Korean drugstore haircare on price and performance. The Argan Nourishing Hair Oil is the brand's hair-finishing oil, designed as the post-styling shine-and-smooth step. 100ml at $45.76 is mid-premium pricing for the category, but the bottle size is generous. Compare to Moroccanoil Treatment (100ml at $54+) or Kerastase Elixir Ultime (100ml at $70+): iUNIK is the Korean equivalent at a slightly lower price point.

Hair oils sit at the final step of styling. Their purpose isn't cleansing or conditioning; it's smoothing cuticle, reducing frizz, adding shine, and protecting from heat on next-day styling. A good hair oil absorbs into the hair without coating it in a greasy film. iUNIK's argan oil is the standard effective base for this, supplemented with small amounts of other plant oils (jojoba, marula typically) for shine.

What It Does

Argan oil (high in oleic acid and vitamin E) smooths the hair cuticle and adds shine without weighing down hair. Complementary plant oils add light protection and surface hydration. The lightweight texture doesn't make hair greasy when applied correctly (on damp ends, not roots). Used daily, it protects from mechanical damage (brushing, styling) and reduces split ends over time.

Who It's For

• Damaged, color-treated, or brittle hair: Primary target.
• Frizz-prone hair: Daily application smooths cuticle.
• Heat styling users: Pre-heat protection.
• Medium to thick hair: Lighter hair uses less product.
• Split end prevention: Daily application reduces mechanical damage.

FAQ

How does it compare to Moroccanoil?

Moroccanoil is the western category leader, silicone-heavy for heavier gloss. iUNIK is more natural oil-based, slightly lighter finish. Both work; iUNIK is less expensive per ml.

Will it make hair greasy?

Only if over-applied or applied to roots. Stick to mid-lengths and ends. 2 to 4 drops is the full-head ceiling.

Can I use it on the scalp?

Not recommended as a daily routine. Hair oils weigh down roots and can cause scalp buildup. Apply to lengths only.

Is 100% pure argan better?

Pure argan is fine for some uses. Formulated hair oils like iUNIK's add complementary silicones or polymers that improve slip, shine, and styling performance. Pure argan is more for skincare than hair styling.

How long does 100ml last?

4 to 6 months with daily use.
