5. Jojoba oil


With its composition very similar to the natural sebum produced by the skin and scalp, jojoba oil is an ally for dry and coily hair. Moreover, it is a "dry" oil, meaning it penetrates the hair quickly without leaving a greasy film.


For this reason, it lends itself easily to daily hair care. Jojoba oil can be applied before or after shampooing. When massaged into the scalp, it helps regulate sebum production. Get ready for soft and shiny hair, without the greasy effect!

How to use vegetable oils on afro hair?


  • Apply the chosen oil two to three hours before your shampoo. This is the minimum time for the oil's properties to take effect. Anything less and you will only get partial and very temporary results. For added effectiveness, wrap your hair in a warm shower cap. Your hair will thank you!


  • After dampening your hair with water or a floral water, apply the oil or blend of oils to your hair and leave it on overnight. This will allow the oil to effectively penetrate the hair fiber and its effect will be tenfold. Remember to wrap your hair in a satin bonnet. Shampoo as usual the next day. Your hair will be silky, shiny, and radiant with beauty.


  • Some oils, like jojoba oil, can be used daily on the hair without weighing it down or creating a greasy effect. Simply dampen your hair, apply the oil, and style as desired. You'll have hair that makes your friends green with envy!



Quick tip: always finish applying vegetable oil with a massage of your scalp so that it benefits from the oil's properties and activates hair regrowth.
