I love love argan oil! It's very nice and soft for the skin, hair etc. its good for basically anything. It's a little heavier than olive oil, but I used both and I can tell that it does make a difference. However olive oil is a very good alternative. You should be careful though if you want to treat your blond hair (if you have blond hair) with olive oil. Olive oil may give your blond hair a greenish glow in the sun/light.
