Essential oils accentuate the effects of unscented shampoos, conditioning and finishing products. These precious oils are the condensed essences of plants, prepared as oil. Aromatic essential oils are regaining the popularity they enjoyed with our ancestors. They are well-respected for their ability to address a variety of issues, such as dull, dry, and thinning hair, as well as itchy, irritated scalp–these are aromatherapeutic benefits. The scent of essential oils provides a therapy of its own, sometimes referred to as aromacology because they affect our psychological make-up and mood. Because essential oils are highly concentrated, only a few drops are necessary to achieve great results. I suggest applying a light dab of the essential oils listed below to the nape of the neck, scalp or temples to serve as aphrodisiacs.
Sandalwood – unisex, earthy, bright yet sultry
Patchouli – unisex, musky, brings out animal instinct
Ylang/Ylang – high energy, very sweet, uplifting
Neroli – balances mood, joyful, attractive, easy-going and uninhabited
Geranium – a balanced floral with a suggestion of earth and fruit; hints at individuality
3-5 drops of these essentials oils (choose 1-3) added to a quarter sized dollop of pure aloe vera gel will serve as an alluring styling gel perfect for a romantic up-do, chignon, French braids or twists. It also works well for tightening the roots of freshly washed locs. As a finishing touch you might also securely pin a fragrant gardenia, opened rose or lily in your hair behind your ear before going out to a Valentine’s Day party or date. As a finishing touch, mist face and hair with lavender hydrosol before you step out the door – especially if inhibitions and tension are coming between you and a potential soul mate. Treasure the day.
(Regardless of what you put in it to mask the smell.)
