Oil Blend

Water Blend

  • 3/8 cup filtered water

Water Blend

  • Put about 1 teaspoon of an emulsifier like Diatomaceous Earth, bentonite clay, collagen, or gelatin in a small glass container.
  • Add essential oils to the emulsifier.
  • Add the filtered water.
  • Blend the emulsified mixture into the filtered water.

  • Put some of the mixture on your fingertips, and massage into scalp.
  • Keep mixture in a covered container in the fridge and discard after 4 days or so.

Notes

If you're planning to wash your hair the following day, use the oil blend.  The essential oils will blend well with oil (they really don't blend with water), but you'll have a somewhat greasy scalp if you don't wash them out the next day.
Use the water blend on days when you will not be washing your hair.  I personally use this blend on a daily basis.
Oil Options: Any liquid oil can be used, but olive oil is supposed to be good for hair health. Jojoba and argan are other great choices as well. You could use a liquid coconut oils as well.
