Essential Oils for Hair


How sad, most inexpensive shampoos smell alike. Create your own shampoo, using your favorite fragrance. Not only does hair hold a fragrance, but essential oils pamper and strenghthen hair and give it a lovely shine. They also increase circulation in the scalp.

For a base, choose a neutral shampoo, adding a few drops of your favorite oil (10 to 15 drops to 3 or 4 fluid ounces of base). A conditioner made with castor oil or jojoba oil base plus an essential oil for your hair could also become a personlized treatment. This conditioner will be applied before washing your hair. For damaged hair leave in overnight. Here are a few essential oils for you to try out on your hair. Now you can have wonderful shiney and fragrant hair anytime you want.
