[brownsugar9999]

Oh My GOODNESS>...ok..so lavnder oil cut the smell COMPLETELY!!! Not masking it, diluting it....GIRLS...I DON'T SMELL IT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!
Hallelujah!!!!!
Even w/ the peppermint and Lemon...it left a sickly sweet smell w/ a hint of sulfur.....
Noooooo...it's gone!!! WE'll see tonight if it passes the "can you sleep w/ your SO" test!!!

 

[SweetCaramel1]

great! what brand/where to buy???

 

[PittGirl06]

is there a way to make it so that not just drops come out of the essential oils bottle, but like the whole thing is poured out? it takes forever to get a good amount into the MTG cuz it just drip drip drips.

 

[brownsugar9999]

Can buy at health food/whole food store.....I bought mine at Henry's, but I think that it's CA based...
It's made by NOW...there's a website on the side...www.nowfoods.com

And as fox mixing....you should only be usibng a few drops at a time...mix everytime you use..if you try to mix the whole bottle, the scent wears off...i mix 5 drops of lavender to each .5 oz....\HEAVEN!!!

Take that plastic thing (that causes it to drip) off. You may have to use your teeth, and warning...You will get a little essential oil in your mouth.

Is this stuff really $22?

Lavender oil can be really overpowering. You might want to cut it with some grapefruit essential oil if you find that to be the case... Personally, I cannot handle the lavender oil, just too overpowering. Someone else, may be the perfect answer. Hope this is the case for you. bonjour

 

[XXXtacy]

Thanks so much!!!

I love lavender and will try that with my next order.

Lavendar oil hummmm? I tried it and didn't really like it that much.

This past week, I put in some Rosemary Oil...get this, my BF said it smells like Tea Tree Oil. He kept smelling my hair at the Buick Invitational on Saturday. I surely thought he was going to say "WTF is that in your hair?". Instead, "Honey, why are you smelling my hair?!?!?!" Terrified of the pending answer. :fart: You know how you fellow MTG wearers do that bob and weave when someone gets too close to your hair...!

Well he goes..."It smells like Tea Tree Oil, I like it!"

It passed the sniff test!!

Understand the "bob and weave" a little tooooooo well. Went to Hubby B-ball game on Tues...haven't seen the team for a while, and when they came to hug me (they are some really nice guys!!) I was like .."Hey, hand shake./.....the looked at me crazyyyyy! I told them..trust me...I've got a treatment in my hair and you DON'T want to get toooo close"...The white guys looked confused...the black guys were like ..gotcha!!!

OT: VW...like the new pic!!!!! When's he shippin out?

brown, glad you like the lavendar oil. I suggested it because it is good for soothing burns, scraps and irritated skin. Considering what you are going through with your scalp I would not use the grapefruit oil. Can I ask why you are using so many citrus oils? They are known to be possible irritants along with causing photosensitivity. Please don't take offense and I know you are grown, but I think you might be doing too much with the oils with what your scalp is going through. I'm just trying to be helpful. I am pretty versed on EO and know that you really have to respect them and know what they do especially when mixing them. They are very potent if it's a quality oil and can cause issues

 

[s_terry]

Just ot give you some info:

"Throughout history, lavender has been known for its impress healing powers. Its use throughout the ages as a natural antiseptic, antibiotic, anti-depressant, sedative and de-toxifier is still used today to promote healing and prevent or diminish unsightly scar from forming."

Finally, some common day uses for lavender oil in present day society are: for scalds, minor burns (including after-sun), cuts, grazes, inflammation, eczema, dermatitis, fainting, headaches, insomnia, migraines, nausea, bacterial infections, acne, boils, rheumatism and arthritis. Not to re-mention alleviating anxiety, stress and tension, by claming, soothing and relaxing the body and mind.


grapefruit Oil : Precaution = photosensitive, mild irritant , short shelf life once opened and exposure to oxygen.

Oh luv...I APPRECIATE all of the help...grown or not..I don't know EVERYTHING! Personally, I was just dumping things in it to try to mask the scent...I know ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING about EO's and querried others. Since I like that fresh fruitty scent, I tried those eo's.......arrrggghhh! They got me...and the peppermint too. I tried the lavender...may have put toooo much in b/c it was kinda strong last night, but THIS MORNING>>>>>>NO FLAKES!!!!!!! At least not yet...plus, all I put in my hair last pm is Eluc. leave in mixed w/ a little jojoba and cocnut...(plus the MTG of course).....So, thus far...I LUV U!!!! Thank you!!!!

Glad I can be of some help. I hope the flakies are gone. *hugs*

Let's put this as "clean" as I can.....you know it's tooooo strong (he didn't even act like this when I did the MTG STRAIGHT.....it had his eyes watering!!) when you hubby wakes up with "morning tendencies" and keeps his chin up and head turned the WHOLE TIME!!!! I felt sooo bad that I took my woobie (my little throw blanket that I sllep with) and COVERED MY HEAD....not the eye s or nose or anything...but enought to cover the hair...and then HE FACED ME!!!!!!

 

[tastesosweet]

I've found that mixing 10 drops each of lavender, rosemary, cedarwood, and thyme with my MTG cuts the smell completely.
