The "Essentials"




Oils that is.....In all my reading on what is good to promote the growth and  improve the health of natural hair some oils Ive read time and time again about and continue to be praised or promoted. So I decided to list them all here with infomation on how or why they help. EDUCATION is the KEY!!! You know sometimes you here enough products views on a topic you might just buy just because and not know the why and how behind it (Im guilty of this at times myself) so:

 Here are some tips of how essential oils can help! (I highlighted in purple the ones Ive read about the most)

Basil: Oily hair. Promotes growth
Chamomile: Fine to normal hair. Gives golden highlights
Clary Sage: All types of hair. Dandruff treatment
Lavender: Normal hair. Scalp treatment for itchiness, dandruff, and even lice!
Lemon: Oily hair. Gives golden highlights; treatment for dry scalp, dandruff, lice, and underactive sebaceous glands
Myrrh: Dry hair. Treatment for dry scalp, dandruff, lice, and underactive sebaceous glands
Patchouli: Oily hair. Dandruff treatment
Peppermint: Dry hair. Promotes hair growth
Rose: Fine hair. Soothes scalp
Rosemary: Oily hair. Dandruff treatment; promotes hair growth
Tea Tree: Oily hair. Treatment for dry scalp, dandruff, lice, and underactive sebaceous glands
Ylang-ylang: Oily hair. Dandruff treatment

I hope this one stop shop of info proves helpful for someone. I will use if for my future reference as well.
