5.0 out of 5 stars Great Oil For Hair, December 21, 2007

This review is from: Jojoba Oil, 4 fl oz (118 ml) (Health and Beauty)

This is a very light oil that I use for my hair. It keep my hair from dying out and it is also recommded to put a few drops in your favorite shampoo and conditioner. I like to apply it directly to my hair after it is washed. It also prevents hair breakage. I love this oil. It works wonders for hair if you use it 2-3 times a week depending on how dry your hair gets. This is an excellent product!

4.0 out of 5 stars About the smell..., February 12, 2010

Obsessive shopper (Richfield, MN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jojoba Oil (Health and Beauty)

Jojoba oil is great. It won't clog pores (it actually cleans them -- long term it's better than biore strips), it absorbs quickly into the skin, and it protects your skin from drying all day.

Some brands are highly refined and purified. When you research on-line you'll see that the oil is often described as colorless and odorless. That's not the case with the NOW brand.

NOW is a little more natural. While it's not totally refined, it's still pretty stable stuff. It should have a shelf life equivalent to canola oil (and I've never actually experienced rancid or stale canola oil).

Being more natural, it's not completely odorless. It's not an entirely good smell. It's a little smoky, a little funky. Kind of like a cross between bacon and patchouli. But it's pretty mild so you'll notice it when you squirt it into your hand and start rubbing it in but you probably won't smell it much after you've rubbed it in. And others won't notice it on you. I don't find it all that offensive anyway. I put a little cologne on after I'm done and I think the smell fades into the background in a very pleasant way.

HOWEVER... Some people posess a genetic variation that makes them sensitive to certain compounds in jojoba oil. To them, it smells like rotten fish. Fortunately, this is a very small minority of the population. And if you are one of them you might already know who you are because perhaps cooking oil smells the same way to you.

I like this oil, but I'm having a hard time figuring out just how to make it work correctly in my hair. If I put it straight into my shampoo bottle, it doesn't work. If I put it straight on my hair after I shampoo, I usually get oily strands of hair that look and feel greasy. It's a tricky process using it this way, and hard to wash it all out.

I think the oil has potential to replace my conditioner, I just don't know how to get it to work properly.

Positives: in the areas that it washes out properly when applied seperately after a shampoo, it doesn't feel like there is any conditioner in my hair, but it leaves my hair soft and shiny even after I blow dry it.
