The following recipe is design just for your hair to make it healthy:

Use this Healthy hair aromatherapy blend before you rinse your hair.

2 drops Tea tree
2 drops Lavender
2 drops Clary sage
2 drops Jasmine absolute
1/2 ounce base oil ( jojoba or sweet almond)

2 drops Roman chamomile
2 drops lavender
2 drops sandalwood
1 drop jasmine absolute
1/2 ounce base oil ( jojoba or sweet almond)

Scaly Scalp and Dandruff-Prevention Blend:

2 drops lavender
2 drops tea tree
2 drops rosemary
2 drops ylang ylang
1/2 ounce base oil ( jojoba or sweet almond)

You may increase the proportions as needed to make this healthy hair aromatherapy blend (i.e. double the amount of essential oils used for 1 ounce of base oil ). To make an undiluted healthy hair aromatherapy oil blend from any of these recipes, combine oils in a 4 ml amber bottle.

Method:

Combine base oil and essential oils and mix well. Double recipe is needed for long hair so oil will cover all of the hair. Apply oil gently throughout hair. Cover your head with a plastic cap. Leave oil on hair for at least 1 hour. To rinse, add shampoo directly to the oiled hair before you rinse or wet it. The shampoo emulsifies the oils, resulting in a much more thorough rinse.
