Essential Oils

If you haven't figured it out by now I'm all about natural remedies and hair care, one of my favorite things to put in my hair is coconut oil. It's actually one of the only oils that penetrate the hair shaft and it smells AMAZING!!!!  I'm going to give you guys a little info on different types of oils and their benefits, there is definitely one for everybody!


Coconut oil- This oil is a deep penetrating oil that goes straight into the hair shaft to deliver much needed moisture, for those with a tighter curl texture it can be used to aid in straightening and to keep the hair soft and manageable. It is also be used as a scalp stimulate and to rid the scalp of dandruff , I consider this the holy grail of oils!





Peppermint oil-  This is another strong moisturizer but I can also be an irritant so it's recommended that you pair it with a carrier oil, the interesting thing about peppermint oil is that it helps to regulate oil production on the scalp. If you struggle with a dry scalp or an oily scalp it can help to balance it, pretty neat!  It also promotes hair growth by penetrating and stimulating the hair follicle, definitely an oil for those who are looking for a extra boost in hair growth.






Jojoba oil- This oil is neat in that it breaks up sebum in the hair follicle, sebum is a hardened build up that can block the hair follicles and cause scaling. This oil penetrates the scalp and assists the follicle in functioning as it should. It's also used as a great carrier oil and moisturizer.
