2 drops Peppermint essential oil
2 drops Rosemary essential oil
2 drops Clary Sage essential oil
Note: Feel free to customize the essential oils to your preference. You can use one or all of the essential oils listed above. However, be careful using citrus oils as they can lighten your hair if exposed to UV light.
