What is healthy hair?
Healthy hair generally has not been damaged by harsh chemical processing, prolonged sunlight, or rough thermal and mechanical treatments. Each cuticle layer has individual scales that lie flat with smooth, overlapping edges. Hair in this condition is highly protected from damage, retains the optimal amount of moisture and is overall stronger, softer, shinier and more vibrant. Now whatever the damage, you can help transform your hair to perfect health with Ojon hair treatments formulated with nature’s golden elixir.
What causes hair to become damaged?
Hair damage is any condition whereby one or more of the hair structures are physically or chemically altered to the extent that they are unable to return to their original state. When damaged, the cuticles can become cracked, roughened, split or frayed. Some of the keratin material (of which hair’s cuticles are composed) can disintegrate, making hair thinner. Hair loses its elasticity and moisture making it dull, brittle and prone to breakage.
There are many sources of hair damage and they range from very ordinary everyday practices to very extreme ones:
1. Water Damage (washing hair in hard water, washing hair too often, swimming in salt or chlorine)
2. Heat Damage (from blow dryers, curling irons, hot rollers, hair straighteners, etc).
3. Chemical Damage (hair coloring, hair straightening, & perming)
4. UV Damage
5. Environmental Damage (wind, pollution, smoke)
6. Mechanical Damage/Friction (combing, brushing, hair styling, ponytails, hats, pillows)
7. Internal Factors (diet, stress, vitamin deficiency, pregnancy, menopause)
How does nature’s golden elixir help repair damaged hair?
Nature’s golden elixir has a similar composition to the essential lipids found in unprocessed, virgin hair and can help compensate for those lost lipids to help repair damaged hair. Once the missing lipids are reintroduced, hair instantly gains strength, suppleness, shine and flexibility. Split ends and hair breakage are substantially reduced. The elixir also repels water that can weaken and dehydrate hair.
What makes Ojon Damage Reverse™ Restorative Hair Treatment different from other treatment products?
To improve hair’s condition, many hair experts recommend treatments that contain synthetics like harsh silicones. These products superficially smooth the cuticle. They do not help repair it. Nature’s golden elixir doesn’t just sit on the surface. It actually penetrates the hair shaft to help damaged hair recover the look and feel of virgin hair. Damage Reverse™ Restorative Hair Treatment is fortified with nature’s golden elixir in its purest, most powerful form. In clinical tests, participants witnessed a 64% improvement in the condition of their dry, damaged hair after just one treatment*. This rich, velvety balm increases hair’s strength against breakage and helps restore vibrant health to even the most deeply damaged hair. Hair is soft, silky and manageable. Today there are many treatment imitators but Ojon Damage Reverse™ Restorative Hair Treatment is available exclusively from Ojon.

Why does Ojon Damage Reverse™ Restorative Hair Treatment sometimes have a different color or scent?
Due to the purity of nature’s golden elixir and the traditional methods used to extract it, slight variations in color, texture and scent are not uncommon between harvests. The results, however, are always the same. It instantly helps mend, strengthen and restore body, bounce, vibrancy and shine to even the most damaged hair.
What do I do if my Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment separates, with oil floating on the top of the jar?
To maintain the natural purity and potency of Ojon Damage Reverse™ Restorative Hair Treatment, no artificial binding agents are used. The product may liquefy at temperatures higher than 86º F (30 º C). To restore the product’s natural texture, return it to room temperature or chill it through refrigeration for about 60 minutes. To avoid separation, store Ojon upright at room temperature. When opening, remove the protective seal carefully to avoid spillage. To reseal, bend and “pop” the plastic disc provided to remove air from the jar.
What makes the Ojon philosophy toward shampooing so unique?
Of course, shampooing is vital to keeping hair cleansed of dirt, debris that impacts shine, volume, manageability and movement. But what few realize is that shampooing exposes hair to water damage. No matter what kind of hair you have, it is structurally weaker and more vulnerable when wet. At Ojon, shampooing is always the first step to repairing damaged hair. Our shampoo and conditioner combinations are clinically tested and proven effective. For example: Damage Reverse™ Restorative Shampoo and Conditioner reduced hair breakage by 99%* instantly. And 90%* said their hair was healthier-looking after using it. And Dry Recovery™ Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner improved the condition of dry, damaged hair by 52%*. And you’ll instantly recognize the repair has begun as soon the warm water meets the shampoo and releases the aromatic blend of 100% natural essential oils in each ritual.

How are Ojon styling products different?
Any good-quality gel, gloss, glaze, mousse, spray and pomade will help shape, mold and hold your hair in place. Some can even moisturize, volumize and condition. But Ojon styling products do more than create perfect hair-dos – they create hair do-overs. They not only transform the look of your hair for the day, but because they are fortified with nature’s golden elixir plus powerful plant ingredients, they actually help to repair damage while you style your hair.

What is Ojon Rare Harvest?
Rich with diverse plant life and largely unexplored by Western cultures, the world's tropical rainforests hold many secrets. The indigenous people, having lived in harmony with their natural environment for many hundreds of years, have unique insights into the healing properties hidden within its earth and botanicals. As Ojon continues to nurture a relationship of trust and cooperation with the world's indigenous people, we are privileged to be invited to share in many of their most sacred healing traditions. The Rare Harvest collection is a special series of highly concentrated, one-of-a-kind tribal treatments for hair, face and body. Each is available in limited quantities only during the peak harvest period of their natural potent ingredients. Sustainable harvesting allows us to share the powerful benefits of these rainforest treasures without destruction or depletion of the resource, while providing a sustainable source of income for the indigenous groups that harvest them.
Why did Ojon “enhance” its formulas?
Ojon is continually exploring the world for new beauty traditions. Over the years we’ve found ingredients that enhance the effects of our signature ritual categories even further – Dry Recovery is now infused with Blue Agave Nectar to help promote its hydrating benefits, Volume Advance uses Peruvian Amaranth Protein to help thicken and plump hair, Color Sustain uses Tahitian Monoi Oil to help prevent color fade, Full Detox uses Quillaja Soapbark Extract to refresh and revitalize hair, and Damage Reverse has even more of our signature and reparative Ojon oil. Also, new essential oil blends have been created for an aromatherapy experience to complement each ritual.
But, at the heart of each product are the formulations you know and love and every product is still infused with nature’s golden elixir – Ojon Oil. The efficacy of our products remains our top priority. We are still committed to the one-of-a-kind Ojon Golden Elixir that created a cult following for our treatment-based collections. Our updated formulas have clinically proven results. By combining tradition, nature and technology we’ve created products that are highly relevant for today’s evolving beauty landscape.
