Make sure to opt for a product that states “100% pure essential oil” on the label. Organic is even better if you’re going all-in on the natural route.
Also, steer clear of synthetic oils and oils with additives, as these can irritate your scalp more than help it. You want the purest form for the best results.
Creating The Ultimate Blend For A Scalp Massage
To create the ideal scalp massage blend, consider mixing lavender oil with a carrier oil like jojoba or coconut oil.
The ratio should be about 1-2 drops of lavender oil to a teaspoon of the carrier oil.
Once you’ve made the mixture, you should really knead this into your scalp, using circular motions for at least 10 minutes. This not only ensures that the oil is well-absorbed but it also increases blood flow to the scalp, boosting the oil’s efficacy.
Don’t be afraid to take your time, either. After all, it’s basically a free stress-relief session in your own bathroom.
Level-Up With A Hot Oil Treatment
If you feel like your hair could use a little extra oomph, you can warm up your lavender and carrier oil blend until it’s comfortably warm but not scalding hot.
Then, saturate your hair and scalp, ensuring every nook and cranny is covered.
Wrap your head in a warm towel and let this luxurious mix sit for about 30 minutes. This amplifies the absorption rate of the oils, leaving your hair feeling rejuvenated and your scalp nourished.
