learn Jojoba oil

How does jojoba oil help with hair loss when applied to the scalp? Jojoba oil is used as a scalp and hair moisturiser, and animal studies suggest anti-inflammatory effects. No human study shows that it reduces hair loss.
Can I use jojoba oil directly on my scalp, or should I mix it with another product? Jojoba oil is usually well tolerated on the skin and is often applied undiluted, but allergy can occur, so try a small patch first. No study shows that applying it alone or mixed with other products treats hair loss.
Is jojoba oil better as a leave-in treatment or should it be rinsed out after a while? Jojoba oil can be left in as a light moisturiser or applied before washing and rinsed out; no study compares the two or shows either affects hair loss. Fine or oily hair may look greasy if it is left in.
