Is it ok to leave peppermint oil in your hair without washing it out?

I love this oil.
To answer your question I need to know roughly how much you put in and if you used it on its own

I would mix it with a carrier oil such as jojoba oil . It's an effective stimulant but on its own it can be irritating

I do sometimes but I only use a couple drops in a carrier oil. This stuff is tingly and makes my scalp sensitive if I use too much. I massage with it (peppermint oil, tea tree oil, and jojoba and tiny drop of jbco). I usually cowash a day or so after.

I haven't used it yet. Can I mix it with coconut oil

Yes you can. Coconut oil is a great carrier oil with loads of benefits, internally and externally.

I use peppermint extract which isn't as strong as the oil, I put a few drops in a water spray bottle and spray my scalp with it.I like how it makes my scalp feel. I will be trying pure peppermint oil soon tho.

Does it have to be washed out though?

You can mix with coconut, no need to rinse it out

That stuff is so strong, I had to stop using it.

I ordered some but I don't think I am gonna really use that stuff

It is strong but I love it. You can't use a lot. Just 2 or 3 drops should enough for an 8 oxz bottle of carrier oil. A Half ounce bottle should last a very long time. I personally rinse all oils from my hair the following morning anyway - can't stand the build up on my hair or my scalp.

It was burning my eyes. It was only one drop..and that one drop was so potent. If anything, I'd mix it with someone else

 

[divachyk]

Yes! I add a few drops to my jbco and it has caused no issues

I make a 6 oz spray bottle of mostly Grapeseed oil, one once of jojoba oil, and few drops of peppermint oil.
This works excellent sealing my hair.
I also use this mix as a prepoo, and oiling my scalp when it's dry.

 

[bluenvy]

I would never use peppermint oil on its own.
It's highly concentrated.

I've never used it on my hair, but I was annointed with peppermint oil at a bible study I visited. It took all my strength to not run to the bathroom to wash it off.

Please use a carrier oil because it burns on its own :'(
