Essential Oils for Hair Give your Hair a Treat! Essential oils for hair can help you grow hair fast, reduce dandruff and hair loss, and minimize symptoms of alopecia areta. Do you want great, healthy looking hair? Every time I walk into get my hair cut, my stylist always says she cant believe how fast my hair grows and how shiny it is! But, first, did you know that… How our hair looks, feels and grows can change based on - What we put on it (synthetic shampoos, conditioners, gel, etc) What we eat and drink (good for body=good for hair) What we do (swimming in chlorinated pools, using hair dryer, etc) Quality of our shower water (Use a shower filter for best results to remove fluoride, chlorine, iron oxides (rust water), reduce harmful VOCs and other contaminants.) Genetics (what are parents passed down to us) How much sleep we have nightly Our stress level and Other health conditions (thyroid conditions, hormones, poor circulation, etc) So, my advice is, in addition to using the oils, review that list and determine if there is something else you need to do to support your hair. This may be as simple as drinking more water! Also, Did you know that most shampoos, hair and skincare products on the market contain synthetic materials that create many of our hair, scalp and skin problems? Here are a few examples - Propylene Glycol - inhibits skin cell growth; causes rashes, dry skin and skin irritation. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Laureth Sulfate - surfactant that corrodes hair follicles, impairs ability to grow hair and causes inflammation of skin. Oleyl betaine – causes dry hair, dandruff and dry scalp. Mineral oils - petroleum products clog pores! Yes, the molecule is too big to be absorbed by the skin. So, check your labels, you may be surprised! If your shampoo has a pH between 4 and 6 and doesnt have synthetic compounds your hair is safe. There are great natural hair products on the market that contain essential oils including the AromaSilk line by Young Living. This is the only product I will place on my head! If you are adventurous, make them at home by using a base shampoo and adding oils that are right for your hair type or condition. I usually add 3 to 5 drops of each oil, but it is best to follow a recipe. But, what is my hair type and what oils do I use? No problem, below you will find the information on all the hair types and the corresponding oils. Also, provided is the carrier or base oils that are best for your hair type.
