The pursuit for perfect hair can seem like an endless, frustrating, and time-consuming one. Despite browsing aisle after aisle of products filled with pretty bottles and empty promises, the search continues. You just want thick, shiny, beautiful hair! Is that too much to ask? Maybe it’s time to think a little outside of the box and try essential oils.
What Are Essential Oils and How To Use Them?
Essential oils come from various sources and have been used for many purposes since the times of the ancient Egyptians. These oils are extracted from flowers, plants, trees, and seeds yet still retain the source’s scent and natural benefits through special distillation processes. They can be a good natural option to chemical-laden hair products.
Once the oil has been extracted from its source the result can be too powerful to apply directly on to the skin or scalp. However, essential oils can be safely diluted in a carrier oil such as coconut, olive or argan oil to name a few. Since the essential oil is so potent and you only need a few drops, that means it will last you longer and you’ll get more uses out of it. A little goes a long way.
