Best Essential Oils To Give You Amazingly Healthy Hair

For centuries women have been using essential oils for their hair with amazing results.

In recent times, the hair care products on the shelves have been laden with chemicals too difficult to pronounce, and little added benefit. The modern cosmetics industry has certainly tried to offer more natural choices to consumers; however, many of these products still contain harmful chemicals that totally negate the positive effects of the natural ingredients they claim to contain. What is a girl to do?

Don’t worry – it stresses your tresses. Besides, there are many ways that you can get fabulous hair using powerful, natural ingredients right at home, every day. First, you have to read the labels of your current hair care products and ditch anything that contains the following:

* Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
* Parabens
* Synthetic Colors
* Triethanolamine (TEA)
* Isopropyl alcohol
* Anything else you can’t pronounce or doesn’t sound natural

Many health food stores and even specialty sections of grocery and department stores have a nice selection of natural body care products. Finding one that you like better than that stuff you’ve been using since high school shouldn’t be hard. Plus, you’re going to add your own magic ingredients that will leave you with healthy, bouncy hair, just like the girls in the commercials. Only better.

Natural oils and pure essential oils have long been revered for their beautifying and healing qualities. These concentrated plant medicines offer powerful healing components that bring oxygen to the cells, cleanse toxins and nourish tissues. Every part of your body including your hair can benefit from using natural plant oils and therapeutic essential oils in your everyday routine. Here are some of my best personal essential oil hair potions for you to try at home.

Scalp Healing Shampoo

Having a dry, flaky scalp can be embarrassing, but it is not necessary to just suffer through it. An irritated scalp can be healed rather easily with daily use of essential oils that soothe and clear infection.

Mix the following therapeutic grade essential oils into 16oz of a gentle cleansing shampoo:

* Tea Tree – 8 drops
* Rosemary – 10 drops
* Cedarwood – 12 drops
* Patchouli – 7 drops

Apply a liberal amount and shampoo as usual. Follow with a light, natural conditioner or strengthening rinse.
