Perfect for the skin, it is also ideal for the hair. Applied as a massage or mask before shampooing, jojoba oil is mainly used to moisturize the hair's properties. It gives them shine and vigor without greasing them. On the contrary, it helps regulate the sebum of oily scalps.

For dry ends and brittle hair, use it as a mask before shampooing on dry hair. You can do an oil bath that you will leave on for two hours, ideally overnight. For people with an oily scalp, massage it before your shampoo with the equivalent of a tablespoon of jojoba oil. You can increase its effectiveness tenfold by using a few essential oils of lavender.
