6 Staple Essential Oils For Making DIY Hair Products!

22/1/2014

I don't expect a newbie mixtress to start off with a huge collection of essential oils from day 1; I certainly didn't. 

In my opinion these are the six most important essential oils for a kinky haired girl:
  • Cedarwood
  • Lavender
  • Peppermint - especially if you have an itchy scalp
  • Rosemary
  • Thyme
  • Ylang Ylang or Bergamot

Except for bergamot I have used all the other 6 essential oils for a very long time. I started using lavender, rosemary & ylang ylang in 2006 for massage. I added peppermint a little later on and when I went natural in 2011 I immediately added cedarwood and thyme because I knew they were reputed to be great for hair growth. 

In 2013, I added bergamot - I love the smell and it's also great for weak, dull or thin hair.

I actually use a wider range of essential oils than those used in my DIY Hair Care Recipes because I have a certificate in therapeutic massage and a Muji burner. The first one (on the left) is the one I have. 

I have always loved citrus essential oils like orange for an invigorating massage and mandarin smells awesome in the burner. However, citrus essential oils can be drying for a dry-haired girl like me. That said, you don't use very much essential oil so they're not a problem to use...
