[Hair Oils And Their Uses
 CARRIER OILS
Carrier oils are very important in hair care; they are great moisturizers, strengtheners and very nourishing for hair.
List Of Some Carrier Oils and Their Benefits To Hair
A. JOJOBA OIL
Benefits:
1. It penetrates down to the scalp and hair shaft, and readily loosens and dissolves hardened build- up. The scalp and hair follicles are left clean and free to continue their normal function.
2. Jojoba is great for all hair types and can be used on oily scalps to inhibit or prevent overproduction of oil, by the oil glands making it the perfect choice for people with oily scalps that still need conditioning.
3. It is great for dry hair as it helps to moisturize your hair properly.

B. OLIVE OIL
Benefits:
1. Olive oil helps in preventing as well as curing hair loss as it prevents the production of the hormone DTH which causes the hair follicle shaft to decrease.
