Jojoba oil is popular among naturals because of its properties that mimic the body’s natural sebum production.
WHAT IS JOJOBA OIL
Jojoba oil is a liquid produced in the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis plant. It is native to southern Arizona, southern California, and northwestern Mexico.
It is prized for its ability to moisturize skin and hair without clogging the pores. So, yes, jojoba is a moisturizer, and jojoba oil is non-comedogenic (denoting a skin-care product or cosmetic that is specially formulated so as not to cause blocked pores.) .
UNREFINED JOJOBA OIL
Look for unrefined jojoba oil when you’re ready to buy. Unrefined means that the oil has not gone through a ton of processing that would ruin the potency of the oil.
HOW TO USE JOJOBA OIL FOR HAIR
Looking for jojoba oil uses? Here is a list:
Hot Oil Treatment. Using jojoba as an oil treatment is popular because the oil can leave hair soft, smooth, and silky. To do the treatment, heat 1-2 ounces of the oil in a saucepan to warm. Be careful not to make it too hot. Massage the oil through your hair, place a plastic cap on your head, and leave the jojoba on for 15 minutes. Then rinse your hair and style as usual.
Jojoba Oil for Scalp. Jojoba helps to balance both dry and oily scalps and can help to relieve itchiness and irritation. Spread the oil onto your fingertips and massage your scalp for a few minutes. Then shampoo.
Jojoba Oil Hair Mask. Jojoba can help to reverse dry hair. An easy way to reverse dry hair is by doing a jojoba oil hair mask. To make a fresh hair mask, mix together 1 small avocado (mashed), 1 egg yolk, and 1 tablespoon of jojoba oil. Then apply to your hair and leave for 30 minutes. Then, rinse the mixture out with cool water and shampoo.
Jojoba Oil Leave in Conditioner. Looking to leave jojoba in your hair instead of rinsing it out? Make an easy DIY jojoba oil leave in conditioner by adding 2 tablespoons of jojoba oil and 2 tablespoons of your favorite leave-in conditioner to a spray bottle. Fill the spray bottle with distilled water and add a few drops of essential oils.

For extra relaxation; cover your scalp with a t-shirt soaked in lavender water heated to sooth the scalp.
Shampoo : Black soap (gel form)
Style after : twists during the shower to stretch and finger detangle
