How to use natural oils on hair

Nourishing dry hair

Essential oils are the perfect ally in maintaining strong and healthy locks. Essential oils are applied to the hair with a nourishing carrier oil, as they help lock in moisture within the hair fiber, thus eliminating dry hair .

Add 1 0 drops of essential oil to 1 tablespoon of nourishing jojoba, coconut, or olive oil, and add the mixture to an 8- ounce bottle of shampoo . Shake the package well. You can also use essential oils for a weekly hot oil treatment or daily use with a handcrafted hair strengthening spray.

Get rid of greasy hair

If you have oily hair, you may need to “train” it by shampooing less often. Choose one of these oils (no, it won’t make your hair greasy) that can block sebum secretions and also help your scalp balance oil production. Lemon, sage, peppermint, and geranium oils are essential oils for oily hair.

Add 1 teaspoon of bentonite clay and 2 0 drops of essential oil to your regular shampoo bottle. This is an excellent way to deliver essential oils to the hair and also absorb excess oil. Spray the roots of your hair before or after styling. You can also add a few drops of essential oil to your dry shampoo.

Several studies have shown the effectiveness of essential oils in stimulating the scalp in cases of hair loss. When used for six months, rosemary essential oil works great on hair, in addition to traditional topical hair loss treatments. Peppermint, lavender, rosemary, and sage oils are among the best oils that can be used to treat hair loss.

Add 1 0 drops of rosemary and 5 drops of peppermint (or 1 5 drops of any combination of other oils you choose) into an 8- ounce bottle of shampoo or conditioner and shake well to combine. Massage it into your scalp every time you wash your hair. Use rosemary serum for a weekly scalp stimulating massage. Apply to the roots of your hair and press firmly on the scalp with the tips of your fingers. Leave it on your hair overnight and wash it in the morning.

Many essential oils are naturally anti-fungal, take advantage of their ability to combat dandruff. Lemongrass is especially effective if dandruff is caused by an overgrowth of Malassezia yeast on the skin. Tea tree, rosemary, lemongrass, and peppermint oils are some of the best dandruff treatments.

Soothe itching and irritation of the scalp

Essential oils help soothe irritated skin, so why not use them on an itchy scalp? These natural anti-inflammatory oils help relieve symptoms and improve the healing process. In one study, lemongrass oil was found to be effective in treating dandruff. Tea tree, rosemary, and lavender oils are antimicrobial oils that can also help treat problems like primary dermatitis.
