Help Your Hair

Essential oils are in just about every product you buy from shampoo to washing powder. I have found a amazing oil blend that does wonders for your hair.

Loads of things change how your hair feels and looks, what you eat and drink and what you use on our hair (synthetic shampoos and conditioners etc) even down to small things like how much sleep you get.

If your like me and have the worst conditioned hair ever! then this is sure to help. When I was at college we were taught to never use more than 3 essential oils at one time when applying it on a person, and also to never use more than 3 drops of each of them too. You should also use a carrier oil to mix the essential oils in, there are many different ones will loads of different properties. 

I tried loads of different blends until I came upon this amazing one. It leaves your hair feeling silky, smooth and shiny. I rub in on my hair when its dry before I go to bed once a week and leave it in over night to get the full effects, if you can't do this at least leave it on for a few hours. 

Essential oils can be found in Health food stores and online, you will find the odd one here and there in the medicine departments in Superdrug and Boots, the range in prices too but it is worth it to buy the more expensive ones trust me! They are much better quality.

You will need:

Carrier oil- coconut oil

Essential oil- peppermint

Essential oil- lavender

Essential oil- sandalwood

Small measuring cup

I tend to use around 10ml of the coconut oil and one drop of each essential oil. Rub the blend into your hair for a couple of minutes, the same way you would apply shampoo, do this just before you go to your bed. I then brush my hair to make sure it is evenly spread across my hair. Remember to put a towel over your pillow before you put your hair anywhere near it the oils are a pain to get out from bed covers!! You hair will feel absolutely horrible when you wake up (just a warning). Wash your hair, shampoo it twice or your hair will still feel greasy. It will now feel amazing!! Good luck.

If this blend doesn't work as well for you as it does for me I suggesting use a maximum of three of the following essential oils:

For dry hair- geranium, rosemary, lavender, sandalwood, peppermint

For oily hair- rosemary, lemon, lemongrass, cypress lavender

For dandruff- rosemary, lemon, lavender, cedarwood, thyme, basil, cypress, sage
