When it comes to texture, jojoba oil is more wax-like as compared to other oils. It is believed that this very texture is extremely nourishing. Extracted from the seeds of the jojoba, the oil is a powerhouse of vitamins C, B and E along with minerals such as copper and zinc. 

The thing is that jojoba oil is definitely one of the lesser-known natural ingredients but it can do wonders for your skin and hair. It is only recently that the beauty industry has started incorporating jojoba oil as a prime ingredient in various products and an increasing number of people have witnessed its power!

Here are 5 ways in which jojoba oil effectively nourishes your tresses and improves hair health:

1. Deeply conditions your hair

The nourishing content of jojoba oil helps in hydrating each strand of your hair and locks the moisture in, giving you soft and smooth hair. The lightweight and non-sticky nature of the oil makes it a favourite pick for many.

2. Fights off dandruff

The nourishing and conditioning properties of jojoba oil nourish the scalp and can prevent dandruff by keeping the skin moisturised. Moreover, the palmitic acid and stearic acid are effective when it comes to keeping the white flakes at bay. You can use jojoba oil as a pre-treatment before shampooing or leave-in scalp conditioner post-shampoo.

Also, watch:

3. Prevents damage

Jojoba oil has fatty acids in it that not only nourish the tresses but also prevent damage that your styling tools can cause. What’s more, the antioxidants present in the oil act against the action of free radicals, ensuring your hair stays healthy.

4. Promotes hair growth

If you want to grow your hair, then jojoba oil is the tonic that can work for you. Since it has essential nutrients and nourishing properties, it makes the hair roots stronger and prevents hair fall, promoting growth. The zinc found in jojoba oil is considered essential for the hair tissue to grow.

5. Prevents premature greying

It is believed that copper deficiency can lead to premature greying of your hair and since jojoba oil contains copper, antioxidants, and vitamins, it can potentially prevent the greying of your hair.

So, ladies, give this elixir a chance to keep your tresses healthy!
