I’m always searching for natural or “crunchy” hair care products and I am absolutely obsessed with diy and essential oils so it was a no brainer for me to do a little research on essential oils and what they can do for your hair. I think you’d be surprised to know that there is an essential oil for every hair type and condition and most of them are fairly inexpensive!
The condition of a person’s hair is affected by diet, health, and what is done to the hair (coloring, chlorine exposure, etc..) It only makes sense that a more natural approach is the best way to achieve “perfect hair”.
Use a few drops of essential oil with a carrier oil such as coconut or jojoba oil and saturate hair. For hair loss or dandruff, rub the essential oil/carrier oil mix into the scalp.
