The use of jojoba oil to strengthen hair: add to shampoo, to a comb and other methods

Cosmetic jojoba oil Russia is extracted from the fruits of the Chinese Simmondsia plant. Despite the name, it has nothing to do with China. Jojoba fruits are harvested on plantations in North America. Oil is obtained by pressing nuts in a cold way, which allows you to preserve the beneficial properties in full. The resulting composition is only called oil, but in fact it is liquid wax rich in proteins, amino acids and collagen.

Jojoba oil: what is the value for hair

Jojoba oil is an indispensable source of fatty acids, amino acids and vitamins. But the main role is assigned to collagen, which forms a protective barrier against moisture loss along the entire length of each hair. It provides elasticity and resilience, reduces brittleness. The plant fruit extract not only protects the hair from damage, but also completely restores its structure:

• moisturizes and saturates with nutrients along the entire length;
• calms the scalp and strengthens the follicles;
• destroys bacteria and heals microcracks;
• strengthens the roots;
• increases elasticity;
• reduces fat content at the roots and moisturizes the tips;
• protects from damage during installation and painting;
• restores a beautiful natural color.

I really love all kinds of hair care products. And my last pleasant discovery was jojoba oil. Its composition includes a special wax, thanks to which it is possible to save the cut ends - they simply stick together and do not stick out in different directions. If I don’t have time, I just drop a few drops into the shampoo. If possible, I make all kinds of masks and wraps. The price is low - something around 80-90 rubles, so you can buy it without any special costs.Its use can be expanded: it perfectly nourishes lips, face and body skin.
