Nourish your hair and stimulate your senses with a scalp massage.
For the oil:
1/2 cup of olive oil
3-5 drops of eucalyptus essential oil
1-2 drops of lavendar
Shower Cap
Warm, damp towel
Warm the oil slightly in the microwave for a few seconds. (Test the oil on the inside of your wrist to make sure it is not too hot before using). Combine the olive oil with the essential oils in a small squeeze bottle with a tip at the end. (These bottles can be found at beauty supply stores - they look like plastic ketchup/mustard bottles). Apply the oil to the scalp in small sections, rubbing the oil into the scalp as you go. Continue to massage the oil into the scalp with your fingertips until the scalp is covered. If you choose, you can then work any remaining oil into the rest of the hair down to the tips. Cover the hair and scalp in the shower cap and wrap in the warm, damp towel. Leave on for at least 10 minutes. I prefer to do this in the shower and then give myself a salt scrub while I wait on the oil to condition my hair. Wash the hair with a good shampoo (follow with a light detangler if necessary) and style as usual.
