Essential Oils for Great hair

So we all know that having great hair is like wearing a crown on your head. With our high stress lifestyles and chemical treatments, sometimes it is important to take a step back and re-evaluate what we are actually doing. So many times, hair loss, dry hair, dry scalp and all other conditions we might be struggling with could be directly linked to our lifestyle, gut health, stress and believe it or not Menopause can be linked to hair losing condition too.

Have you recently had a look at your daily hair treatments and care products? Have you read your labels and made sure that your Brushes are cleaned properly?

Let's have a look at some Natural Alternatives. As women go through menopause, many report some changes in their HAIR: lacking luster, or being dry or damaged, thinning, or loss of hair.

It is thought that changing hormone levels is the cause: androgen's, such as testosterone, can change the type of hair present or the number of hair follicles and the sebaceous glands that support them.

Other factors that can affect the hair include thyroid problems, nutrient deficiencies, stress, genetic influences, medications, and poor dietary intake of proteins. Protein is crucial for the growth, development and strength of our hair, skin, and nails. If not enough protein is consumed on a daily basis, this may contribute to hair loss.

When there is a vitamin or mineral deficiency—a deficiency of Zinc, for example—this can often first be noticed in the hair, so a well-balanced diet, high in nutrients, is important.

Some people experience a noticeable difference in hair health and regrowth simply by using our Vitality Program. Additionally, some Essential Oils may support even faster hair growth, including:• Rosemary • Clary Sage • Thyme • Arborvitae • Cedar-wood • Sandalwood •Cypress • Lavender • DDR Prime

Along with its culinary applications, ROSEMARY has many benefits, including the support of healthy digestion and internal organ function. More to our point, ROSEMARY also supports healthy hair growth.

So sometimes we just need some Natural support to help bring our hair condition back.

I personally struggle with hair fall.

REGROWTH TREATMENT

Directions for Use

To use ROSEMARY or any of these oils, simply add three drops into one tbsp. of Fractionated Coconut Oil and massage into the scalp. Apply twice a day to promote stronger and healthier hair regrowth.

WEEKLY HAIR CONDITIONING TREATMENT

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp. coconut oil

• 1 tbsp. olive oil

• 8 drops Essential Oils (use one or all six of the following: Lavender, Sandalwood, Geranium, Rosemary, Peppermint, Clary Sage)

Method:

Put coconut oil, olive oil, and Essential Oils in mixing bowl. Mix on medium/high speed for five minutes or until ingredients are whipped to a thick and creamy consistency.

Once whipped, apply to clean, dry hair. Comb through with wide tooth comb to evenly distribute.

Let sit 15–20 minutes.

Rinse, shampoo and style as desired. Repeat once a week or as often as desired.

Alopecia is a very hard condition since it can effect a persons emotional state of mind, but that too can be supported Naturally. Alopecia areata is a condition that causes hair to fall out in small patches, which can be unnoticeable. These patches may connect, however, and then become noticeable. The condition develops when the immune system attacks the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss. Even though it might not cure the problem it could definitely help in more than one level.

Why not try these?

Lavender essential oil

Lavender oil can speed up hair growth. Knowing that lavender oil has properties that can generate the growth of cells and reduce stress, researchers on one animal study found that this oil was able to generate faster hair growth in mice.

It also has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties, which can improve scalp health.

Mix several drops of lavender oil into 3 tablespoons of carrier oil, like olive oil or melted coconut oil, and apply it directly to your scalp. Leave it in for at least 10 minutes before washing it out and shampooing as you normally would. You can do this several times per week.

Peppermint essential oil

Peppermint oil can cause a cold, tingling feeling when it increases circulation to the area it’s applied to. This can help promote hair growth during the anagen (or growing) phase.

One study found that peppermint oil, when used on mice, increased the number of follicles, follicle depth, and overall hair growth.

Mix 2 drops of peppermint essential oil with the carrier oil of your choice. Massage it into your scalp, and leave on for 5 minutes before washing out thoroughly with shampoo and conditioner.

Melaleuca essential oil

Melaleuca oil has powerful cleansing, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties. When used topically, it can help unplug hair follicles and increase hair growth.

A 2013 study even found that a mixture containing tea tree oil and minoxidil was more effective than just the minoxidil alone in improving hair growth, though more studies are needed on using tea tree oil only.

A review in 2015 found tea tree is commonly used in anti-dandruff treatment products.

You can mix 10 drops of tea tree essential oil into your shampoo or conditioner and use it daily. Or, you can mix 3 drops with 2 tablespoons of a carrier oil, and leave it on for 15 minutes before rinsing it out.

Rosemary essential oil

If you want to improve both hair thickness and hair growth, rosemary oil is a great choice thanks to its ability to improve cellular generation.

According to one study, rosemary oil performed as well as minoxidil, a common hair growth treatment, but with less scalp itching as a side effect.

Mix several drops of rosemary oil with olive or coconut oil, and apply it to your scalp. Leave it in for at least 10 minutes before washing it out with shampoo. Do this twice per week for best results.

Cedarwood essential oil

Cedarwood essential oil is thought to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss by balancing the oil-producing glands in the scalp. It also has antifungal and antibacterial properties, which can treat different conditions that may contribute to dandruff or hair loss.

Included in a mixture with lavender and rosemary, cedarwood extract was also found to reduce hair loss.

Mix a few drops of cedarwood essential oil with 2 tablespoons of a carrier oil of your choice. Massage it into your scalp, and leave it on for 10 minutes before washing it out.

Lemongrass essential oil

Dandruff can be a common ailment, and having a healthy, flake-free scalp is an important part of hair health. Lemongrass oil is an effective dandruff treatment, with one 2015 study finding that it significantly reduced dandruff after one week.

Lemongrass oil for dandruff is most effective when used daily. Mix a few drops into your shampoo or conditioner daily, and make sure it’s massaged into your scalp.

Thyme essential oil

Thyme can help promote hair growth by both stimulating the scalp and actively preventing hair loss. Like cedarwood oil, thyme oil was also found to be helpful in treating alopecia.

Thyme is particularly strong, even among essential oils. Put only 2 small drops in 2 tablespoons of a carrier oil before applying it to your scalp. Leave it on for about 10 minutes, then wash it out.

Clary sage essential oil

Clary sage oil contains the same linalyl acetate that helps make lavender oil so effective in increasing hair growth. It can improve hair strength, in addition to increasing hair growth, making hair more difficult to break.

Mix 3 drops of clary sage oil with your favourite conditioner, or with 1 tablespoon of carrier oil. If using it daily, rinse out after 2 minutes. If using it once or twice per week, leave it on for 10 minutes.

Ylang-ylang essential oil

While those with oily hair and skin would want to skip this one, ylang-ylang oil is ideal for those with dry scalps, as it can stimulate sebum production.

As lack of enough oil and sebum causes hair to become dry and brittle, ylang-ylang can improve hair texture and reduce hair breakage.

Mix 5 drops of essential ylang-ylang oil with 2 tablespoons of warm coconut oil. Massage it into your scalp, and wrap your head with a warm towel. Leave it in for 30 minutes before washing it out.
