Jojoba oil is a gold-tinted liquid obtained from seeds of the jojoba plant, which can help tame wild, frizzy tresses. Josephine Fusco of Pravana salon in New York explains why jojoba styling creams are must-have products: "They add shine and calm coarse, curly or frizzy hair by coating it." Although other hair types would be weighed down by jojoba oil, dry and coarse hair soaks up the love and the oil soothes it to perfection.
Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter
Carol's Daughter Healthy Hair Butter has a decadently creamy consistency. The jojoba oil helps add shine to hair and the cocoa and shea butter rejuvenate dull, shineless hair. The beeswax in Healthy Hair Butter acts as armor to protect your hair from stress brought on by heat products or from tugging and teasing while styling hair. Celebrity hair stylist Shasha Lee of Shasha Lee Exclusive Salon in New York City recommends this product because it can also act "as a deep-penetrating conditioner at home. It allows color treated or chemically processed hair to be hydrated back to full life."
Jane Carter Solution -- Hair Nourishing Cream
Jane Carter Hair Nourishing Cream contains lots of good stuff hair loves, including jojoba oil, shea butter, ylang ylang and mango butter. With vitamins A, D and E, this Jane Carter Solution product helps repair and boost normal hair to a far more vibrant state. "The shine is amazing, giving great natural curl separation with a few dime sized applications," says Lee.
Bumble and Bumble Grooming Creme
Bumble and Bumble Grooming Creme is a unisex styling product that Mimi Miller, style, image and hair consultant in Hollywood, California, loves to use for magazines and runway shows. "It has an exceptional capacity to control my styles the way I want them to look and has jojoba oil infused to keep the hair manageable and moisturized." In addition to jojoba, this creme includes avocado oil, safflower seed oil, castor seed oil, almond oil and PEG-10 soy sterol, which improves hair elasticity and prevents breaks and split ends. A little bit goes a long way with this styling cream, making it easy to use for people on the go or people with dry or coarse-textured hair.
Ion Healing Jojoba Flat Iron Cream
Ion Healing Jojoba Flat Iron Cream is specifically designed for flat-ironing hair and preventing the damage that results from high temperatures, which can denature hair proteins, causing irreparable burned, frizzy effect. This jojoba oil-containing product "seals the hair cuticle, giving your hair optimal shine and also eliminates frizz and fly-aways," says Miller.
