Jojoba oil is a nourishing and hydrating substance that can be used to treat dry and damaged hair. It has a similar structure to the sebum produced by the scalp, making it particularly effective at nourishing and hydrating hair without weighing it down or leaving a greasy residue.
Jojoba oil can be used in different ways to treat hair:
-
Hair mask: Mix jojoba oil with other nourishing oils such as coconut or argan oil and apply them to dry hair before shampooing. Leave to act for at least 30 minutes or overnight and then rinse with shampoo.
-
Hair conditioner: Add a few drops of jojoba oil to your hair conditioner to increase hydration and nutrition.
-
Dry Tip Oil: Apply a few drops of jojoba oil to dry, damaged ends to soften them and prevent breakage.
Jojoba oil can also be used to treat dry, itchy scalp and prevent dandruff. Furthermore, it has antimicrobial properties and can be used to prevent hair loss and stimulate new hair growth.
