Hair Care

Essential oils can help enhance the appearance of your hair.

Essential oils can also be used to enhance the appearance of hair. For individuals with dark hair, add a few drops of rosemary to a pitcher of warm water and use as a final rinse. For light hair, do the same, but with chamomile instead.

If you suffer from dandruff, which is caused by skin on the scalp flaking rapidly, you can create a hair tonic from essential oils. To make this tonic, mix a few drops each of lemongrass, lavender, and rosemary into seven fluid ounces of distilled water. Add two teaspoons of cider vinegar to the mix and shake well. Keep the mixture in a dark bottle and massage it into your scalp a few times every week. If the symptoms do not go away, or if they worsen, ask your doctor for advice.

If you suffer from alopecia, which is baldness or hair loss, you can use essential oils to help prevent further loss. Aging, heredity, acute illness, hormones, vitamin and mineral deficiency, and stress can cause alopecia. To treat hair loss, combine thyme or rosemary with a carrier oil and massage it into your scalp. Also, be sure to avoid blow dryers, curling irons, or other heated appliances. These only serve to encourage breakage and cause further damage or loss of hair.

Essential oils do not only help maintain beautiful hair and skin, they can help reverse the damage, as well. When used as a regular part of a beauty routine, the results can be outstanding.
