Four
powerful natural extracts stand out as absolute must-have essential oils
for hair. Lemon essential oil and rosemary essential oil cleanse like a little army of scrubbing
bubbles. Basil and bergamot help your hair grow thicker and fuller.
Cleansing, restoring, nourishing and protecting your hair and scalp,
these four indispensable, gotta-love-'em treatments for hair make you
look like a supermodel on a housewife's budget.
Lemon: The All-Purpose Hair Care All Star
Among essential oils for hair, lemon leads the league. Although all
citrus fruits work wonders on your hair, teasing and tantalizing your
nose, lathering like crazy, lemon still dominates. Lemon cleanses best,
delivers the most anti-oxidants and the most powerful anti-bacterials,
and lemon rinses away the cleanest and most completely. Readily
available and relatively inexpensive, lemon oil will not lure you into
an exhausting, frustrating, and fruitless marketplace quest. In fact,
you really ought to consider growing your own, because lemon trees
spring-up pretty naturally across all the states south of the
Mason-Dixon Line, and they flourish everywhere indoors. Minimal care;
maximal benefit, lemon oil also has the distinct advantage of mixing
well with almost all other essential oils for hair.
Bergamot: Rich, Fragrant, and Fantastic
Among the most nourishing and definitely one of the most exotic
fragrances you can add to your essential oil hair formula, bergamot deep
cleanses and promotes hair's healthy growth. A proud member of the
citrus family, bergamot naturally mixes well with all its relatives, and
it effectively maintains the oil and pH balances in your hair. It strips
away excess oil from your hair and scalp, but it does not strip them
dry. Bergamot delivers powerful anti-bacterial and anti-vitals straight
from Nature's arsenal, especially protecting you against some of the
more insidious viruses-herpes simplex, for example. Best of all,
Bergamot brings the most pick-me-up and perk-me-up power of all your
choices.
Basil Boosts the Billow
If your hair, once as big, billowing and spectacular as Rapunsel's, has
lost its life and gone a little limp, move Basil to the top of your list
of glamour secrets. If your hair has begun to thin (just a little) basil
should become your best buddy. If your hair has less body than an
anorexic teen model, you definitely must befriend Basil. Naturopaths'
number one recommendation for promoting hair's health, basil nourishes
your hair and scalp, and basil numbers among leading ingredients in
proven hair-restoration remedies. Basil eliminates common causes of hair
loss, replenishing hair you have, and replacing locks you lost.
Reputable studies have shown basil improves circulation and restores
life to damaged follicles, so your hair grows fuller and stronger. For
full, radiant, luxurious hair, you absolutely must include basil among
your preferred essential oils for hair
"Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes"
Rosemary rocks. Just about every best-selling mix of essential oils for
hair includes Rosemary. Not a surprise: Rosemary ranks right up there
with the best cleansers, anti-oxidants, and germ-fighters; and Rosemary
numbers among the league-leaders for soothing and healing scalp
irritation, psoriasis, and dandruff. By far most importantly, though,
ounce for ounce Rosemary has more Phyto-estrogens than any of the other
oils. Phyto-estrogens, plant equivalents of your own vital female
hormones, promote hair's full, natural, healthy development, and they
put-up fierce defense against hair loss. Rosemary mixes well with and
brings out the rich fragrances of your citrus oils and Basil,
complementing and highlighting them.
