Essential Oils - For Your Hair!

        
        Essential Oil is a liquid that’s been extracted from flowers, leaves and other elements of a plant.  There are many different types of  essential oils that are great for your hair and scalp.  Every essential oils has a different use, here are some of my favorites:

• Peppermint Essential Oil - Helps the hair to receive proper nourishment and to grow correctly.  It makes the scalp tingle and this is what stimulates the blood flow to the hair, it also promotes hair growth.

• Lavender Essential Oil - A scalp treatment for itchiness.  It's great for soothing your scalp and calming your hair.  

• Tea Tree Essential Oil - Great treatment for oily hair, dry scalp and dandruff.

• Rosemary Essential Oil - Works great for dry hair, itchy scalp and dandruff - DO NOT USE IF PREGNANT!!

• Basil Essential Oil - Promotes hair growth!

• Rose Essential Oil - Helps soothes scalp and has a great smell.

        
        Essential oils cannot be used directly to your hair without being mixed with carrier oils first. Here are a list of carrier oils:

• Jojoba Oil - If you want to add softness, shine and moisture to your hair, you should use jojoba oil. It's a great moisturizer and healing oil for all hair types.  It works especially well on dry, brittle or frizzy hair.     

• Olive Oil - This oil can be combined with other essential oils. Apply the oil to towel dry hair and leave it in for at least 30mins. Olive oil is especially good for dry hair that is suffering from indoor heating and the sun. 

• Coconut Oil - Adds shine to dry and damaged hair. When combined with other essential oils, coconut oil makes an excellent dandruff treatment.
