When it comes to nurturing your hair with the very best, nature offers some incredible solutions - one of which is jojoba oil. Often found in premium haircare products, jojoba oil has earned a well-deserved reputation as a beauty essential. But is it truly good for your hair? Laura Elliott, Head of Education at Neäl & Wølf, shares some of the benefits and the products you can find it in.
What is jojoba oil?
Jojoba oil is a golden liquid derived from the seeds of the Simmondsia chinensis plant, from North America. Jojoba oil mimics the natural oils produced by your scalp, allowing it to work really well with skin and hair, which is why it’s included in many expertly formulated products. It penetrates deeply, moisturises effectively, and delivers lasting nourishment without weighing the hair down.
What are the benefits of jojoba oil in hair products?
Jojoba oil is a prized ingredient in haircare, used for its variety of benefits including weightless hydration, enhanced shine, and improved manageability. It nourishes the scalp, strengthens each strand, and helps protect against dryness and breakage, Read on as we share some of the top benefits of jojoba oil.
1. Deep moisturisation
Jojoba oil hydrates your locks from the very root to the ends of strands, helping to prevent any dryness or brittleness. Because it mimics natural sebum (the natural oils produced by your scalp), it moisturises without leaving an oily residue behind. This makes it ideal for fine hair or styles where volume is needed.
2. Scalp healthcare
It’s often overlooked, but good scalp health is vital for healthy locks. Jojoba oil is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, so it can soothe any irritation, reduce flakiness, and restore any balance. This creates the perfect environment for hair to grow, as the roots are kept in ideal circumstances.
3. Strengthens and protects
Jojoba oil is rich in vitamins E and B, as well as essential minerals like zinc and copper. This means that the oil strengthens the hair shaft, reduces any breakages and shields strands from any environmental stressors. It also forms a protective barrier that can keep moisture locked in and guard against heat damage.
4. Shine and smooths
Jojoba oil smooths the cuticle of the hair, which protects against frizz and improves manageability. It also allows hair to be shinier, as the light bounces easily from smooth strands. The result? Hair feels softer, looks glossier, and is easy to style.
5. Suitable for all hair types
One of jojoba oil’s greatest strengths is its versatility. Whether your hair is curly, straight, thick, or fine, jojoba oil will bring you benefits no matter your hair type or condition. Because it is also lightweight, the oil nourishes without clogging pores or weighing hair down at all.
