How To Revitalise and Rejuvenate Work Stressed Hair
Perhaps the long hours at work have taken its toll on your energy and stress levels and by extension your hair. Maybe you ditched conventional hair care products years ago or maybe you’re exploring to more natural options. Whatever the case may be, essential oils for nourishment of hair can be an integral part of a natural and holistic haircare routine. Here are a few effective essential oils for hair:
- Ylang ylang- This essential oil has aphrodisiac properties and a strong, distinct odour. It helps in hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles as well as it also stimulates the production of natural sebum to nourish dry and damaged hair.
- Tea tree- It is one of the most popular essential oils for soothing damaged skin. It is antifungal, so it is also used to treat dandruff and increases hair growth.
- Rosemary- It works well for dandruff because of it’s ability to minimize scalp itchiness and flakes. It is also effective against hair loss.
- Pepper mint- With an addition of jojoba oil as a base, 3% pepper mint oil significantly increases hair growth.
How to apply essential oils??
- Add a few drops to your conditioner or shampoo and lather as usual
- Add some essential oils in aloe vera to a spray bottle and liberally mist your hair.
- Dilute essential oils in carrier oil and use it as a deep conditioning treatment.
