- 6 to 8 drops undiluted hair care oil blend
- 1/2 ounce sweet almond or jojoba base oil (or 1/4 ounce of each)
Directions
Combine base oil and essential oils and mix well. Double recipe is needed for long hair so oil will cover all of the hair. Apply oil gently throughout hair.
Let oil is absorbed into the hair well. Cover your head with a plastic cap or your pillow with a few bath towels if you plan to sleep with the hair oiled.
Leave oil on hair for at least 1 hour.
To rinse, add shampoo directly to the oiled hair before you rinse or wet it. The shampoo emulsifies the oils, resulting in a much more thorough rinse.
For scenting a brush or a comb
Add 2 to 3 drops of hair care oils directly to a hair brush or comb before using. If you have a wooden comb, the oil can be rubbed directly into the comb.
Hair absorbs scent quite readily. The oil also conditions hair as you brush or comb. This is a good treatment for both men and women.
To massage scalp
Place 3 to 5 drops of oils on your fingertips and lightly massage into scalp. In summer, try this while your hair is still damp; sit in sun and enjoy being surrounded by aromatic oils as your hair dries.
In winter you can get the same effect with a blast or two from the blow drier.
