My DH is always up in my bitnez. He read an article that stated we should only wear two oils on our hair. I don't know how true it is. I explained to him that hair care products contain several different oils....... I think he's still jealous of the time I spend on my hair...

 

[Eisani]

Eisani, How do you make them?

I usually make an infusion with fresh or dried herbs in a sachet. I do them two different ways; in a small slow cooker overnight then remove the sachet and pur the oil into glass jars.If I'm feeling lazy, I'll put a sachet in a mason jar and fill with oil then put the jar in boiling water until the oil is warm then remove and let steep for a few days before removing the sachet. This summer I think I'm going to try sun steeping to see how that works.

So you're saying there's more? lol! Thanks for the thorough list I can use it as a guide for where to apply my oils.

I have a LOT of oils. I don't know why, just part of my junkie ways I guess. I wish I could find that list I made a couple years ago. It listed almost EVERY oil you could think of and what it was good for. Motowngirl's comes close, but it's no cigar. Here's MG's stuff:

I usually use one or two at a time. I just alternate because I like variety.
