Treating greasy hair with essential oils

Greasy hair is a common problem for teenagers but it can be sorted out with a little trick. Juniper essential oil has astringent property; it is known for treating greasy dandruff & greasy scalp effectively. The best thing about this essential oil is that, it controls excess oil secretion from the scalp but does not make it dry.

Take 50ml of any basic shampoo that comes without chemicals or fragrance & add 10 drops of Juniper essential oil to it. Blend well & use it to wash your hair as usual.

Essential oils for dry, damaged hair

While greasy hair & scalp are common problems for teenagers, dry & brittle hair are also quite a concern for many. Lack of luster is often a common complain that teenage beauty specialists have to deal with. To mend your dry hair & to add luster to them mix 10-12 drops of chamomile essential oil with 50ml of a basic hair conditioner that is formulated without any fragrance.

Mix the two well & apply lavishly onto your washed & damp hair. Gently comb the mix through the length of the hairs concentrating specially on the hair tips. Leave on for 5-10 minutes & then wash off completely with plenty of water.

Dandruff treatment with essential oils

If you are suffering from dandruff, treating it immediately is necessary because dandruff can trigger serious hair fall. Add 3 drops each of lemon essential oil & rosemary essential oil with 60 drops of jojoba oil. Massage this oil mixture onto your scalp & leave on for an hour before washing off completely with a mild hair cleanser.

Lemon essential oil is known for its efficacy in treating dandruff & clearing buildup on the scalp. Rosemary essential oil also works as an anti-fungal ingredient & promotes blood circulation in the scalp.

Essential oils for hair nourishment

Nourishment is important for healthy hair growth & lustrous locks. Oil massage can be a good way to ensure that your hair gets all the nourishment it needs for the best health & growth.  Blend 4 drops each of Cederwood & Lavender essential oils in 50 drops of almond oil & massage your scalp & hair with the oil mixture. 

Now, soak a thick towel in warm water, wring the excess & cover your head & hair with the hot towel. Keep the towel on for 10-15 minutes & then remove. It is best to use this treatment at night before going to bed & wash off the oil completely with a hair cleanser in the morning.    

Include pure essential oils in your hair care regimen as mentioned above & get compliments for beautiful hair, always.
