Is Jojoba oil a deep conditioner?

What it does: Jojoba oil mimics your skin's natural oils and deeply conditions hair. Coconut oil adds moisture and thickens consistency.

Is Jojoba oil good for your hair?

Jojoba is rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish hair, including vitamin C, B vitamins, vitamin E, copper, and zinc. Because it strengthens hair, it is also thought that jojoba oil can prevent hair loss and promote hair thickness.

How do you use Jojoba oil for frizzy hair?

For your hair: Add a few drops to your shampoo for an extra dose of moisture, or create your own deep-conditioning treatment by applying a few drops all over. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then follow it up with shampoo and conditioner. If you want to combat frizz, add one to two drops to damp ends to seal the cuticle.
