Eucalyptus Oil

[Bronxbaby87]

Can you put Eucalyptus Oil in your hair??? i just found a whole new full bottle in the cupboard. on the label it says "100% Essential Oil" I"m thinking this might stimulate something, it might give me a tingly feeling...

I'm not sure if it can be used on the scalp or not. If you do decide to use it on your scalp, just be sure to mix it with a carrier oil first.

If you were going to use the Eucalyptus oil, it definitely needs to be diluted in a carrier oil. The scent makes it seem as though it would be stimulating but I also have the feeling that it may be drying to the hair.

oh okay thank you for the info. would a carrier oil be like olive oil or what?

Here's a list of some:

Apricot Oil
Avocado Oil
Castor Oil
Grapeseed Oil
Jojoba Oil
Olive Oil
Sweet Almond Oil
Wheatgerm Oil

I tried it on my scalp, but compared to peppermint oil, it's weak. Good luck. It might work for you. Since I have a whole bottle, I started making my own face astringent and I've been adding it to that.
