6. Damaged hair and split ends
There are two ways in which you can tame those damaged hair and split ends.
1. Prewash treatment:- Mix 5-7 drops of oil with 1 tbsp of carrier oil and apply liberally to the hair especially at the ends. You can leave it for 20 minutes or for overnight depending on your preference. Wash it the next morning as usual.
2. Leave in hair treatment:- Add 5-10 drops of each oil to a spray bottle and shake well before each use. Apply it all over your hair after you’ve done shampooing and it’s still wet. Don’t forget to apply it over the ends. This treatment is also great if you have frizzy hair. The trick is to not over-apply it, otherwise you may end up with oily hair that urgently needs to be washed again. You literally need a very small amount of it. It will make your hair feel luxurious and soft without getting oily and messy.
The best carrier oils for this are jojoba, olive, almond, and avocado oils.
1. Thyme oil remarkably restores the hair and brings back its healthy appearance, especially if it has been weakened or damaged by coloring or by the use of hot tools.
2. In case of split ends, lavender, chamomile, geranium, sandalwood, rosewood, and cedarwood oils are highly effective.
7. Application and wash
To wash off an essential oil mask, you shouldn’t start by wetting your hair. Instead, apply shampoo to your hair which you may require in much more quantity. Make sure you clean the entire length of your hair. Then you can wash it off again, both with water and shampoo.
A mixture of 5-7 drops of oil and 1 tbsp of carrier oil is normally just the right amount for medium length hair. If your hair is very short or very long, or you have lots of it, you may need to reduce or double the amount as per your need.
