How to Use Essential Oils for Your Hair

Keep your locks luscious and lovely with pure doTERRA essential oils. Using essential oils to keep your hair looking healthy and smelling divine is probably simpler than you think. Keep reading to find out which essential oils are best for your hair care and how to use them.

Some of the best essential oils for your hair care routine include Lavender, Rosemary, Geranium, Tea Tree, Eualyptus, Thyme, Ylang Ylang, Clary Sage, Sandalwood, and Peppermint.

You can use essential oils in your hair in many ways, but here are some of the simplest:

• Place a few drops along your scalp. Consider doing this right before brushing your hair, after showering, or before going to bed.
• Include a drop or two with your shampoo or conditioner. Simply add the essential oil to your palm with your shampoo or conditioner before lathering it into your scalp or hair.
• Add a couple of drops to your palm, rub your hands together, and run them through your hair. (Not only will your hair receive topical benefits from the essential oil, but you’ll also enjoy aromatic benefits, carrying the soft scent around with you in your hair all day.)
• Put a few drops in a small spray bottle with water for your hair. Quickly and evenly apply essential oils to your hair or scalp—just make sure to shake before each use.
