For centuries, people have used jojoba oil for skin and hair care because it's similar to the oils our skin and scalp naturally produce.

Jojoba oil comes from the seeds of the jojoba plant, also called Simmondsia Chinensis.

Jojoba oil is great for hair because it can soak into the hair follicles and moisturize and nourish the strands from the inside out.

Jojoba oil is unique because it's technically a liquid wax, not a true oil. Despite its name, it's made from crushed jojoba plant seeds and is a type of wax called a wax ester.

Because of its wax-like properties, jojoba oil creates a protective layer on the skin that helps prevent water loss. This keeps the skin hydrated and supple.

It can penetrate your hair easily and keeps it moisturized without making it feel oily. It's packed with good stuff like vitamins E and B.

It has a pH level similar to that of hair and skin, so it's gentle on the scalp. It's also light enough for most hair types to handle without any issues.

When using pure jojoba oil, apply it to your hair from the ears down before bedtime. This helps nourish and protect your hair from friction against your pillow as you sleep.

You can use jojoba oil before shampooing if your shampoo feels too harsh on your hair. It helps protect your hair from getting too dry or damaged.

After mixing the oils, massage the blend onto your scalp. Cover your head with a towel or shower cap and leave it for at least an hour before rinsing and shampooing your hair.
