Is anyone still using Essential Oils in way, shape or form?

[Caramela]

I went rummaging last night after reading a PM someone sent me about essential oils and I found like 4 different ones. I totally forgot about my essential oils. I found Jasmine, Lavender (which I know both can be used for hair/scalp purposes) and I also found eucalyptus and lemongrass (which I'm not sure if they can be used for hair/scalp).
Does anyone know?
Also, if you are using essential oils, what are you using them for?
I did a prepoo with Glover's last night and then then shampoo'd in the shower, conditioned 2x and after getting out of the shower, I applied a few drops of Jasmine oil to my scalp and gently rubbed it in. My hair is fragrant and a little more tame than normal. But I'm rambling now

Yup, to seal, scalp massages and to boost conditioners:
Jojoba, rosemary, thyme, cedarwood, castor, shea butter, peppermint, evoo, sunflower, coconut, shikikai blend

 

[JustKiya]

The only thing I'm using consistently is Tea Tree Oil.....

 

[Baby Girl]

Last night I added a few drops of peppermint to my deep conditioner and sate under the dryer and it felt great. I also added lavendar, rosemary and pepermint to my setting lotion and performed a wet wrap. My hair felt amazing when I combed my wrap down and it still does.

Do any of you use these oils? I also heard that you can apply drops of rosemary to your shampoo.

What is your regimen for the oils you listed?

I now just randomly incorporate them into my recipes and spritzes - especially the rosemary.

That is a great list of oils. Do you find that the castor oil weigh your hair down? What brand of castor oil do you use? I need to thicken my hair and edges.

so are you saying that due to the usage of the essential oils you've gotten more growth, or are you saying they're causing tangling? I'm confused

 

[Baby Girl]

Does anyone use their essential oils in their growth aides? For example, BT or MN.

Thanks. I just got those oils and was looking for a way to combine them to thicken this up

 

[bravenewgirl87]

Yes, I mix it into my qhemet and made my own hair growth oil with them. I have lavender, tea tree, peppermint and rosemary. Anyone wants to buy my qhemet honey hydrating balm with extra oils added.

Have you seen a substantail amount of growth using this method?

 

[SouthernTease]

I use Peppermint & Rosemary with Blended Beauty Oil when I "scritch"

 

[bravenewgirl87]

Yea, but not with the honey hydrating balm, but with something else. I use Komaza Care hair oil and saw megagrowth. I used it to dilute my rosemary and ylang ylang. I never used the hydrating balm long enough to tell. I'm going to add more and melt it so it's not so grainy.

 

[brownsugarflyygirl]

Yep, I use peppermint and rosemary to "spike" my castor oil and my leave-in spray mix.

 

[pattycake0701]

I use essential oils frequently for hair care, body care and around the home. Just recently, I made a scalp oil with sulfur, olive and castor oils and ylang ylang oil. So far, so good. I have also made a "freshing spray" with just water, sodium lactate, sweet orange oil and ylang ylang oil. I love this too. I use this spray on my kids' hair and everyone raves about how good they smell.

 

[tricie]

Yep! I use this one, too:

Essential Oil Blend for Hair Growth
1. Thyme essential oil - 2 drops
2. Atlas cedarwood essential oil - 2 drops
3. Lavender essential oil - 3 drops
4. Rosemary essential oil - 3 drops
5. Jojoba oil - 1/2 teaspoon
6. Grapeseed oil - 4 teaspoons

and to it, I add peppermint, tea tree, emu, sage, basil and ylang ylang oils. I also have some of this in my MN/BT mixture.

I use Jamaican Black Castor oil to seal my ends when wrapping and rollersetting.


HTH!

 

[Radianthealth]

I have a huge collection of essential oils.

All of the oils you mentioned are safe to use on the scalp.

Lemongrass is said to be very beneficial because it has anti-inflammatory properties.

It smells wonderful and I have used it in my handmade soap and I place a few drops into my bathtub.

I have a few books on essential oils and they are said to have amazing healing powers. They also smell great!
