It was a typical day at the salon and in walks my gorgeous client with a little shopping bag.  I paid it no mind until she spoke.

Client: "Okay, I don't know if this is okay, but I got a new product and wanted your to try it to see what you think."

Me: "Okay, let me take a look." *Flipping over to read label immediately* "Eh, for the most part the ingredients appear to be okay, but there are a few things that are questionable."

Client: "Yeahhhhh..." (She knows me.)

Me: "Let's go for it!"

Packaging

It is really nice.  I've seen the Beautiful Textures line in Sally's and saw the product being used in action at the World Natural Hair Show.  The bright color really makes it stand out and causes a bit on interest.

Fragrance

The product smells heavenly!  It filled my salon with a lovely fragrance.  My mentor stopped in and was taken aback by the amazing fragrance and said that it reminded her of bananas.  It really does smell great!

Deriving from the seed of the jojoba plant, jojoba oil can be found in a number of natural skin and hair care products.  While it is called jojoba oil, it is actually a wax extracted from the seed of the jojoba plant.  The primary reason why it can be found in many hair and skin products is because of its uncanny molecular resemblance to human sebum.

In order to break down the benefits of jojoba oil, it is important to first define a few key terms:

Sebum: Sebum is the ‘natural oil’ that many in the natural hair community fight long and hard to preserve through the use of sulfate-free shampoo and a host or other hair care practices.  Produced by the sebaceous glands, this natural oil (or wax) is designed to coat and protect the hair (and skin) from damage or drying out.  Because of the natural twists and curves of natural hair, the sebum cannot travel the entire length of the hair shaft resulting in dryer hair and a less brilliant sheen.
