Hey, in an effort to create an oil that will help reduce shedding & hopefully thicken up my hair, I'm going to attempt to infuse an mixture of coconut, jojoba, emu oil, & castor/EVOO with GARLIC, parsley, nettle, horsetail, rosemary and burdock. I was going to use a crockpot & simmer the oils & herbs for several hours on warm like when I make amla oil
Afterwards, I plan to add some essential oils such as tea tree, rosemary, peppermint, & lavender to help with the smell, because I REALLY don't want to walk around smelling like garlic forever and a day. But, I also want to be able to preserve the mixture...hence the essential oil.s
I want to be able to use the oil as a hot oil treatment as well as a daily oil when necessary. But, I really want to have a strong infusion of the garlic & herbs. So will the crock pot method work or does someone have a better method? I've seen threads about microwaving the garlic, but I really wanted to do all of the ingredients at once in one pot if possible.
