Used for many centuries, jojoba oil is a colorless, odorless, non-greasy oil, which is derived from the Simmondsia chenensis plant. This oil provides healing benefits to the hair and scalp, particularly for many of the common problems associated with hair loss. Jojoba oil is enriched with vitamin E. According to Tarunaoils.com, it can help with hair growth.
Hair Sealant
According to SkinCareGuide.com, jojoba oil acts a hair sealant by forming a thin coating on the hair shaft. It smooths and seals the hair cuticle, even providing protection from any damaged caused by combing and brushing the hair. Jojoba oil helps lock moisture into the hair, thus protecting it from ultraviolet rays from the sun; hair is fortified, making it stronger, resulting in less breakage.
Scalp Moisturizer
Jojoba oil makes an effective scalp moisturizer, offering a positive effect on thinning, damaged hair. Massaging jojoba oil into the scalp and hair provides a balance of moisture; it alleviates dry hair, helps prevent a flaky scalp and dandruff and helps make way for new hair growth.
Hair and Scalp Cleanser
Jojoba is an effective natural cleanser that helps rid the scalp of excessive sebum buildup; sebum is a thick, grimy substance that clogs hair follicles and causes breakage. Jojoba is said to be helpful in reducing sebum from the scalp. Jojoba oil is also helpful in preventing dandruff, according to Acne.org.
Leave-In Conditioner
Used as a leave-in conditioner, jojoba oil protects the hair from day-to-day styling stresses. Apply jojoba oil to your hair and comb it through with a wide-tooth comb to evenly distribute the oil throughout for a daily protectant. Another method is to add 1 tsp. of jojoba oil along with 1 cup of water to a spray bottle to use as a convenient on-the-go, leave-in conditioner.
