How would you choose essential oil to take care of your hair?
What essential oils should I choose to solve different hair issues?
I spend so much time in my scientific aromatherapy books, I am thrilled to share these informations with you.
This post could be used as a guide for hair care with essential oils.
My advice would be to use carrier oil such as coconut oil for mask if you have dry hair or as a scalp massage-carrier oil to fight against dandruffs or hair lost,
to use castor vegetal oil as a carrier oil if you want to focus on hair growth ,
to use crambe abyssinian oil as a carrier oil if you want to realize your DIY hair serum…
tu use as a shampoo, select a neutral organic shampoo and adddrops of your Essential Oils (EO)
If you have dry hair:
♣ sandalwood EO
♣ sage EO
♣ lavender EO
♣ geranium EO
♣ rosemary EO
♣ ylang-ylang EO
for a matter of finding the balanced and pleasant fragrance, I use sandalwood with geranium and ylang-ylang…for men, my advice would be sandalwood, lavender and some geranium
If you have oily hair:
♣ rosemary EO
♣ juniper EO
♣ sage EO
♣ tea tree EO
♣ grapefruit EO
♣ cypres EO
♣ cedarwood EO
♣ lemongrass EO
♣ petit-grain EO
♣ lemon EO
♣ basil EO
♣ lavender EO
For mature women, I find interresting to use sage EO as well as lavender, both are considered to be a natural hormon balance.
Petit grain has interresting properties for your immune system and it smells nice, cypres is an excellent tonic for your lymphatic system, cedarwood and lavender are great to use in the evening since they both have relaxing effects
For more infos you can read my posts about how cedarwood help us to fall asleep or how lavender essential oil improving our wellbeing
If you have dandruffs:
♣ tea tree EO
♣ sandalwood EO
♣ bergamot EO
♣ lavender EO
♣ rosemary EO
♣ petit-grain EO
♣ cedarwood EO
♣ sage EO
♣ patchouli EO
Patchouli has wonderful benefits on hair and scalp, however….it has…kind of…a strong fragrance. For that reason I like to blend it with bergamot and tea tree…which are both giving good benefits on scalp too (tea tree has great effects as anti micotic agent)…and these essential oils are bringing a fresh and green scent to the blend
If you have hair lost:
♣ rosemary EO
♣ lemon EO
♣ juniper EO
♣ geranium EO
♣ ginger EO
Ginger is a great tonic essential oil, it also have great anti inflammatory benefits
If you have brittle, lifeless, damaged hair:
♣ ylang-ylang EO
♣ sage EO
♣ camomile EO
♣ lemongrass EO
♣ lavender EO
♣ sandalwood EO
♣ geranium EO
♣ lemon EO
♣ rosemary EO
For this hair condition, my choice is always turning around lavender, lemon and geranium….a real plus….geranium fragrance is really pleasant
