PEPPERMINT OIL!!!

[thinkpinkprincess]

I'm starting to reeeeeaaally like this stuff! It smells good, and I use it for massaging my scalp to stimulate growth. I also rubbed it in last night after using a moisturizer ( ORS RP mixed w/ EVOO and a little honey) and slept with a plastic cap on and my hair felt SOOOO soft and moisturized this morning!! I also really like the peppermint oil because it seemed to seal in the moisture well without a greasy look and it gave my hair GREAT shine that looked totally NATURAL and made my hair look really healthy. Anybody use this ? How do you use it? What results do you get? Anybody know pros/cons of using this for the hair? Do I need to use a carrier oil such as sweet almond EVOO or grapeseed oil? TIA!

how do I "bump" for answers?

I mix it w/ carrier oils, and conditioners to try to faint the smell. I don't like smelling antiseptic. But as for stimulation it is good, if I used enought it makes my scalp feel tingly and cool. My kids love the feeling on their scalp, although they refer to it as burning. But I taught them the proper term of it was 'stimulating'

I also you rosemary oil in the same way.

i mixed it with jojoba to add moisturizing properties and i really liked it. It is great for stimulating the follicles.

I love pepermint oil. I haven't used any in awhile on just my hair but I do put it in my DC.

This sounds good, I will have to try!

I mix it with jojoba oil and apply it to my scalp when I DC. And yes, it's indeed stimulating!

On my bottle it is recommended to use a carrier oil with it. I heard if essential oils are left undiluted it can cause severe skin/scalp irritation or some other types of reactions in individuals.

I love it!!!! I mix it with my OCT/MT mix and apply to my scalp and I also use it in my cowash conditioner.

I use it for my daily scalp massages. I think I'm getting extra growth from doing the massages with it every night.

I love it, the smell and all. It stimulates growth and it seems to help with the moisture retention when I mix it with water and spritz before moisturizing (but that might be in my head). I've mixed it with shampoo before as well.

I love this stuff. I use carrier oils with it. I use jojoba, grapeseed, lavendar, tea tree and rosemarry oil. I love how it makes my scalp feel and my hair feel. Oh yeah I message it in about 2-3 times a week.

Funny this was posted, for I just got some peppermint oil just the other day. I absolutely love the smell and the tingly sensation I get from using it in my conditioner. And just used it for first time last night after I did a co-wash while taking a shower. After coming outta the bathroom, my oldest daughter tells me "Mom why do you smell like you just came from the hospital???" Ummm, I'm like "Huh?" LOL

what site did you purchase your oil from?

 

[Str8~Curly]

I bought the NOW brand from Frazier Farms, a health food supermarket. I like that it's cheaper than most many EO's too. I think I paid $4 and change for an ounce.

I mix it with EVOO and use them with my moisturizing DCs. I also mix it with my sulfur mixture too. Very relaxing scent.
