Lavender Hair? in Wellness Advocate - Essential Enterprises LLC

Lavender is an essential oil I know to be quite powerful, but this weekend I used it in a new way, at least for me. I’ve been using the no poo hair cleaning method almost exclusively for about a year now, but after reading more of the suggested uses for Lavender essential oil, I had a brilliant idea of putting a few drops of Lavender oil directly on my wet hair in the shower.

I wanted to be sure to share this with anyone who might be interested, and yes, I understand how scary skipping shampoo and other hair products seems at first. I know my hair is softer and more manageable and even Ron has commented about this positive difference. I wanted to share an even more amazing DIY Essential Oils idea from the dōTERRA Blog:

What You Need:

1 cup water
4 teaspoons sugar (use more or less depending on how strong you want the hold to be)
2 drops Geranium essential oil
2 drops Lavender essential oil
2 drops Peppermint essential oil
2 drops Rosemary essential oil
2 drops Clary Sage essential oil
8-ounce glass fine mist spray bottle

Note: The essential oils used in the recipe were chosen because they have benefits that have shown to help your hair and scalp. Feel free to customize the essential oils to your preference. You can use one of all of the essential oils listed above. However, be careful using citrus oils as they can lighten your hair if exposed to UV light.

Directions:

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring heat to boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and cool.

Pour essential oil into glass bottle.

Pour cooled sugar water into glass spray bottle. You’re done! Use as you would any other hairspray.
