Hi Erica,I put Aveda's Beautifying Oil...which is very heavy in jojobo..on my hair when it is dry. In fact, about 2x a week I will put just a tiny dab on the ends of my hair before I go to bed, braid my hair and then sleep with a towel over my pillow case...just in case the oil gets drippy.I did buy jojoba oil at the health food store, but I personally prefer the Beautifying Oil from Aveda. I have to admit that I don't remember what I spent for it, but it is a little expensive. I will go and look up what I paid and if I can find it...I will post again.It doesn't help the split ends you currently have but it does help prevent dryness which makes ends more prone to splitting.Hope that helps.Best wishes,Karen> Karen,> Do you put jojobo on the ends of your hair when your> hair is wet or dry?

Karen,Do you put jojobo on the ends of your hair when your hair is wet or dry? How much do you put on? I am thinking about trying this, because I have heard that it helps split ends. How much do you pay for jojobo oil?Thanks! --Erica> Hi,> Well in my case I have to say a definite yes.

Hi,Well in my case I have to say a definite yes. I have also had a noticeable change with essential fatty acids (EFAs) and with flax seed oil taken in capsule form. I have normally dry hair anyway and when I hit forty my hair and skin both started to get a lot drier. At the advice of my natural doctor I started taking EFAs & Vitamin E and it did make a big difference.The key is to allow it time to work and to take high quality. It took about 1 month before I noticed a difference. When I stopped for awhile to see what would happen, I noticed a difference faster. About 1 week and my hair was feeling drier.I have also used Vit E oil directly on my ends and found jojobo oil much better.Hope that helps.Best wishes,Karen> Does anyone know if vitamin E taken orally is helpful> to dry hair?
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)
