DIY: Hair Oil

This hair oil is comprised of beautiful oils that are believed to nourish and promote hair growth.

Rosemary: Promotes healthy looking hair. It has been studied for hair growth.

Peppermint: Awakening and enlivening. It has been studied in mice to increase dermal thickness, follicle number and depth.

Cedarwood: This grounding oil is thought to promote hair growth and slow hair loss by balancing oil glands in the scalp.

Lavender: This oil is soothing and calming for any itch or inflammation you may experience. It is also thought to reduce stress which helps your overall health.

directions

In a 30 mL bottle (I recycle an empty Yarrow|Pom bottle) add 8 drops Rosemary, 8 drops Peppermint, 8 drops Cedarwood, 8 drops Lavender. Add in a few drops of Black Castor Oil. Fill the rest of the bottle with jojoba oil, pumpkin seed oil, or your favorite carrier oil. Shake before each use.

Use a few dropper fulls on your scalp and take the time to massage into your scalp. Use at least one hour before you shampoo your hair. You can put it on and leave it on overnight before washing your hair as well.
