Trial & Error: jojoba Oil

I recently purchased a bottle of jojoba oil because I wanted to make my own facial moisturizer. I'm going through this phase of making and using more natural products. The benefits hopefully being a moisturizer made with pure ingredients and fewer unnecessary additives as well as the savings and satisfaction of making something on my own.

Jojoba oil is purported to be great for your hair and skin. It can be added to your moisturizer and shampoo, applied to your lips, or rubbed directly onto your skin after a shower. I started out adding a few drops to my shampoo during my morning shower, and it definitely made my hair softer. The next day I decided to try more thinking things could only get better. It didn't - it actually made my hair look greasy and flat. Anyone have any other uses for jojoba oil?
