How to Create a Lavender and Rosemary Hair Oil

Achieve lustrous locks the all natural way by creating lavender rosemary hair oil. Lavender was used by the ancient Romans for its cosmetic and healing properties. Rosemary has powerful antioxidants that can help strengthen and nourish hair. Over-the-counter products may contain questionable synthetic ingredients. Know exactly what you're putting on your skin by creating your own all-natural homemade concoction.

Things You'll Need

• 1/8 oz. lavender oil
• 1 oz. rosemary oil
• Tinted bottle

Instructions

1. Find a tinted bottle. A tinted bottle is ideal for oils because sunlight can break down the ingredients that can lead it to eventually lose its effectiveness.

2. Pour 1/8 oz. lavender oil into the jar.

3. Pour 1 oz. rosemary oil in the jar. Cap the jar and shake gently to mix the ingredients.

4. Pour a few drops of the rosemary and lavender oil mix into the palm of your hand. Brush your palm against your hairbrush and brush your hair.

5. Store the jar in a cool, dark place between use. In order to increase the longevity of the essential oils, the hair oils must not be exposed to sunlight or heat.

Tips & Warnings

• For even distribution of the oil, consider placing it in a small tinted spray bottle. That way, you can easily spray the oil onto your hairbrush.

• If stored properly, this is enough for 6 months of use.
